I think that I am making Louden County, Virginia my next area of interest. I have started a little slide show trying to get a feeling for the area. (yep....I got hooked on the concept of slideshows from my efforts for the reunion) I am looking at the idea that I think that I already shared with this list that I heard at the Virginia Genealogical Society's spring event in April: > Craig Roberts Scott, MA, CGSM > is the President and CEO of Heritage Books, Inc., a > genealogical publishing firm with over 3,000 titles in > print located in Westminster, MD. A professional genealogical > and historical researcher for more than > twenty-three years, he specializes in the records of > the National Archives, especially those that relate to > the military. He is the Coordinator of the Advanced > Military Track at IGHR. Craig Scott was the second speaker for the day and he spoke on finding your French and Indian War ancestors. His comment was that during the Fr and Indian war (1754-1763) many of the settlers around the Hopewell MM (I get confused what County it would have been in that time period. I know that it was originally Orange and now is Frederick. But I am too lazy to look right this minute and it doesn't really add to my information. So I will say Hopewell rather than naming a county) move away for protection from Indian depredations. He said that the Germans moved to Frederick, MD and the Quakers moved to Louden County, Virginia. So I am interested in knowing how many of our Bush River Quakers moved there from Louden County. And whether they lived in the area near Hopewell MM before their move to SC. So, Jerri, this is very interesting to me.

Hi, Marsha - I have the book you mentioned: Lynchburg's Pioneer Quakers and their Meeting House by Douglas Summers Brown. If anyone needs lookups, let me know and I will be happy to do them for you.

Subject: [Fwd: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Thomas families who moved to Miami County, Ohio] Lynchburg's Pioneer Quakers and their Meeting House by Douglas Summers Brown that you might look for. It looks as if there is very little on the Jones family except for mention in lists of graves etc....if you can not find a copy through interlibrary loan, let me know and I'll tell you the few pieces of information specific to the Jones family. I have not read the book...obviously I picked it up used somewhere...don't even remember what I was looking for when I bought it. Probably my husband's Williams and Martin line.

No, I figure everyone has to learn that (about checking to see where your mail is going before you click "send") lesson for him/herself. It usually only has to happen once...then we remember for several months! My personal pet peeve and hope for the future is that we will all remember to change the subject line before we click send, if that is a reasonable thing to do. To change the subject line: mouse click in the subject line and backspace over the old title, then type in your new title. :-) JudyR, admin ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 10, 2008 10:45 AM Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Thomas families who moved to Miami County,Ohio > Sue, > It was nice you folks mistakenly send your emails to the list. > It makes interesting reading even to ones like me that have no ancestors > in > the lines you are discussing/sharing. > I am sure the moderator has no objections to that happening, but if I am > wrong I am sure she will let me know. > > Robert > > > > In a message dated 6/10/2008 10:28:54 A.M.

We would love to go out to his farm one day - see what the old homestead looks like. :) I don't have my notes before me, and I can't remember if you were the person with JONES connections. We just stopped by the Quaker cemetery in Lynchburg, Virginia, and there were quite a few JONES headstones there. I took photos of them (well, I actually accidentally took movies, but I think it's possible to "stop frame" so you can clearly see the words...). If you know who the JONES person was, let me know, and I will send them the movies. I am so tickled to hear that my John's ancestors and yours lived in the same area. Was this in both Waynesville and in Newberry, or just Waynesville? Do you have plats showing the locations of the farms? John and I want to go back to Newberry and stay at DeWalt House, too. What a magnificent place! And I want more time to visit the cemeteries, go to the library, etc. Hopefully I will be better prepared the next time... I am learning. We just went to the Hollingsworth reunion in Winchester, Virginia, and this time I had cash and note paper handy. ;) Sounds like you are making real progress in tracking down your Thomas crew - congratulations!

Yes, the Newberry Homecoming was indeed a terrific trip! The best part was getting to meet so many wonderful cousins - especially you and Nancy Magnusson!

Sorry, I meant the below to be personal to Sue.....It is so easy to not realize that the reply function goes back to the list rather than the person one thinks that one is addressing! I have mail lists that do different things and I just sometimes forget to double check....at least I was saying all good things.

Would the JONES' possibly have been David JONES, b. abt 1752, d. abt 1901 SC, and wife, Eustacia "Tacey" FLOYD, b. abt 1756 VA? Their son, Charles JONES, b. 1777 Union Dist SC, d. 25 Jul 1833 Flat Creek, Bedford Co, TN, and he married Rebecca Norman who is buried in Howard Co, AR. Rebecca Norman is d/o Jonathan Norman and Sarah Martha "Sally" Bobo. Jonathan is s/o of a Quaker, Margaret Dodd, and husband, George Norman, who married in 1756 Fairfax Co, VA--the part that became Loudoun Co, the next yr in 1757. By 1765 they had left Loudoun Co, VA, and settled in Old 96 District, at Cross Keys, SC.

Does anyone know of a connection between the Gilbert and the Thomas familiy? I've seen a hn Thomas mentioned in quite a few records involving the Gilberts.

Marsha et al My information about my Thomas family (Isaac and Mary Davies Thomas) through their daughter Elizabeth who married William Cox is that Isaac died in 1805 (I have a copy of his will dated 1802 and it was proved in June 1805). In about March of 1806, William and Elizabeth Cox and four of their children were granted a certificate to Miami Monthly Meeting along with Mary Davies Thomas and some of Elizabeth's siblings. I have never heard of Thomastown. William and Elizabeth were later in West Branch MM and then later in Indiana. At least some of their descendants moved across Indiana and then on to Iowa, in areas with lots of Quakers, although my direct line was no longer Quaker. I am tantalized by all of the Thomas info you have and would love to have the time to really study it and compare it to my notes. William and Elizabeth Thomas Coxes's eighth child was Phoebe, b. 1807 in Montgomery Co, Ohio, and she was my grandmother's grandmother. Phoebe is the one who told my grandmother stories about the Quaker family roots, about the Thomas' being from Wales (altho I don't know when), about coming from Newberry to Ohio, and more. My grandmother would have been 130 years old last Friday, so she got to know her grandmother Phoebe quite well (Phoebe died in 1899 at age 92). Phoebe was disowned for mou, and "never regretted it from the time she saw the man she was to marry at a funeral- and knew he was the one!".

I am going back through my information and etc related to our Bush River Homecoming. Judith was nice enough to have sent the following to me. I made a copy of the will of Nehemiah Thomas on Friday morning of the Reunion weekend. And lo and behold, as I pull it out to review it, I find that the Nehemiah who made the will that mentions my Sarah, George, and Nehemiah McKinsey is not signed until 1796. The 50 year old Nehemiah Thomas who has the tombstone in the Bush River cemetery is NOT the Nehemiah Thomas who wrote the will. So unless there is a crazy mistake of some sort, there were two Nehemiah Thomas's in Newberry in the mid to late 1700's. Anyone have any clarifications for me on this? Marsha Moses Judith F.

I am reading some Newberry County, SC Minutes of the County Court 1785-1798. On page 224 there is something that caught my eye...I was on the page for something entirely different: On motion of Jacob Hawkins ordered that he be permitted to retail Spiritous Liquors at his house by the space of one year from this date whereupon he together with Abel Thomas entered into and acknowledged bond according to Law. May term 1794 So see if I am interpreting this correctly....Jacob Hawkins is likely to have been the son of Peter and Prudence Thomas Hawkins. In 1794 he would have been about 24 years old. Abel Thomas is possibly the man who died in 1805 in Newberry County and appears to have been childless with wife Mary Heaton who must have preceded him in death as she is not named in the will. Abel leaves bequests to the children of Prudence Hawkins in his will. I think that most researchers believe that she had been one of the twins of Isaac and Mary Davy/Davies Thomas. And that Isaac was a brother of Abel. > 1758,6,24 Abel rmt Mary Heaton. Hinshaw Volume 1 page 577, New Garden > MM, Guilford County, NC (Abel reported to have married Mary Heaton > means that they were not married in the Quaker church but someone had > given the MM the information that he had married out of unity) http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/onlinearchives/Thumbnails.aspx?recordId=302570 (will of Abel Thomas) But there is another Abel Thomas in Newberry right? This Abel was born 1768 and married Ruth Pemberton. So it could have been this man as well. This Abel was a son of Isaac and Mary Davy/Davies Thomas. > 56.

Someone recently wrote me a snail-mail letter about the Chapmans in the Dunker Cemetery in Newberry...and unfortunately the letter has been lost...Does anyone know who the sender might have been? I think it was from a south or middle Georgia city...and had zerox pages from the Newberry Cemetery book. So sorry to have lost it, and I'm trying to find the sender! Thanks for your thoughts!

The initial petitions for land are a rough indication of family size and year of arrival in SC. After 1756, a head-of-household qualified for 100 acres, plus 50 acres for each additional household member. A child aged 18+ was supposed to petition in his/her own name, but might live in the parents' household for several years before doing that. These are the dates for the Inman family petitions: 2 Feb 1763 Benjamin Inman 200 Waters of Saludy (certified 3 Sep 1771) 6 Dec 1768 Jehu Inman 100 Waters Bush River (certified 2 Feb 1773) 2 Jul 1771 Benjamin Inman 150 Berkley County survey'd for Wm. Austin (certified to Inman 17 Jan 1774) 3 Sep 1771 Joshua Inman 200 "In South Carolina" (certified 5 May 1772) 3 Feb 1773 Rufus Inman 100 "In South Carolina" 6 Apr 1773 Jehu Inman 50 "In South Carolina" [Additional acreage should indicate a recent marriage] The lands were adjacent and located between Bush River to the east and Beaverdam Creek to the west. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Pearson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Benjamin Inman, died 1774 Kay, can you send me your sources for the other remaining children for Benjamin? I've seen a list, but have seen it be confused with Benajmin Jr's children from a Bible record. I have no doubt there were other children other than Benjamin Jr and Jehu but have not included what I've seen due to the confusion. ( Either on my part or others ). You can e-mail me at [email protected] if you'd rather. Below is a small section of notes from my database regarding the children of Benjamin Sr. vs. Jr. Thanks. Steve __________________________________________________________ Information on Benjamin taken from the records of Jim and Jean Davis of Assumption, Illinois. The information was copied from an old family bible which was last in the possession of Aletha Inman Davis. Jim's grandmother. Also from the records of Ruth May, Montgomery, Illinois. From: Record-The Inmans and those related. Property of I.I. Inman 304 Oakland Ave., Janesville, Wis. (Ledger is undated but contains Inman entries as early as 1846) " My Ancestors were Edward Inman Born in Wales about 1700 settled in London, England had a family of 5 sons and 2 daughtors. The 2 daughters died in early life. Henry Inman Eldest son Joined The English navy at 18 years of age. died in The English Navy as Captain of Ship sunke in Battle 1799. John Inman second son served as a Soldier 5 years. Benjamin 3d son, Jahuh 4 Son, and Joshuay 5. Emmegrated to in America 1760 after 8 months voyage. landed in Charbotou? Harber S.C. Settled Newberry S.C. Benjamin Inman had a family of 9 children,8 sons, Ahab, Arthur, Benjamin, Jehuh, Frareth, Chas, George and William and Elizabeth. Jauhu Inman had a family of 10 children 1802 Joshuay Inman had a family of 8 children 1814. George Inman was my Grand father. he Emigrated from Newberry, S.C. to Pleasanthill, Ohio in 1818 had a family of 6 children, Henry, George, Benjamin, Sarah, Anna and Susan." Note here on the date of Edward's birth. I believe it to be quite off as he would have to have been born sometime at least 18 years or so before his son Benjamin, whom we believe was born 1699. I also believe that the author of the above history stated the family of Benjamin Jr. as opposed to Benjamin Sr. The children listed for Benjamin's 8 sons, Ahab, Arthur, Benjamin, Jehuh, Frareth, Chas, George and William and Elizabeth. Are proven to have been the exact names of the children of Benjamin Jr and Elizabeth Inman stated in the will of Benjamin Jr. See below under notes for Benjamin Jr. Therefore I have come to the conclusion that the children of Benjamin Sr. and Jemime are not stated in the brief history above. _______________________________________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 11:12 PM Subject: Re: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Benjamin Inman, died 1774 Hi Tom, I'm another cousin in California.

Good luck, Kathryn Follett Stager in California, Kay -------------- Original message -------------- From: [email protected] I am interested in Benjamin Inman, whose death 7th Mo. 2, 1774, aged 75 years, is recorded in the Bush River records. It has been suggested that he was the father of Alice/Alsie/Elsie, wife of Edward Freeman Snellgrove who was in Newberry County in the 1780s but died in Edgefield District, SC, in 1802. Can anyone confirm or disprove this? Edward and Alice Snellgrove named their apparent oldest son Benjamin.

A new member is researching Lt. Cornelius Collins who died, probably, near Sunbury Georgia in 1791. He lived near the Quaker community in Wrightsborough GA. His possible wife was Bridget. I'll send this basic info to our group to see if anyone has ties to this family or knows of them. Thank you, JudyR
