Harriet, Thanks for the link to the colonial plats at the SCDAH at www.archivesindex.sc.gov. I was able to find records for Samuel Duncan/Dunkin and his wife Sarah as well as their children/spouses. Some of the records are for plats and others show their document type as "Memorial." What does memorial mean in this situation? Thanks for your help. Wendy McGuire

There were several stages involved in getting a colonial grant in SC. Step one was to present your petition to the Council in Charlestown, and swear to your "family right". Until 1756, land was allocated at 50 acres per family member (including servants, slaves, wards, apprentices, etc.). From mid-1756, the head of household (including single persons) received 100 acres, plus 50 acres for every other member of the household. After the Council approved the petition, the Surveyor General prepared a warrant of survey--also called a "precept"--and handed it to the settler. The settler took the warrant back to where he wanted to live, and gave it to the local Deputy Surveyor who prepared a plat (that's the map shown at the SCDAH site). The D.S. took all his plats back to the Surveyor General in Charlestown, who sent it along to the Governor for his signature on the grant. After the grant was issued, the settler was supposed to file a Memorial (meaning yet another trip to Charlestown) within 6 months of the grant date. That was an acknowledgment that he had received the title to his land, and was then expected to pay property taxes (called the Quit Rent). For American-born settlers, there was a 2-year reprieve on paying Quit Rent taxes. Immigrants received special Bounty Grants, for which no surveying and recording fees were charged, and they had 10 years grace before being charged Quit Rents. Not everybody did all these things exactly on schedule--perhaps they were in no hurry to start paying taxes. Once the land had been surveyed, the original surveyee had a prior claim on it even if he hadn't had it processed into a grant. So some of them waited a while before getting the grant issued...including 10 or 20 years, in a few cases. If somebody else tried to claim the same land, the resident would go back to Charlestown and issue a "caveat" against the new claimant, and the Council would usually award the land to the original resident--assuming that he went ahead and got the grant issued by the Governor.

Hi, Gene. You can locate and print out the colonial plats for Samuel Campbell and his relatives at the SCDAH search engine at www.archivesindex.sc.gov. It's faster to find if you narrow down the search by selecting "Plat" from the document type menu, select years 1765 to 1775. There are a lot of same-named people in the index. These are the related ones: 8 Oct 1770. Clark, John, Plat for 250 acres in Barkley County (petition of 2 Oct 1770). 23 Nov 1770. Clark, Henry, Plat for 200 acres in Berkley County (petition of 6 Nov 1770). 21 Dec 1770. Campbell, John, Plat for 100 acres in Berkley County (petition of 2 Oct 1770). 4 Mar 1772. Campbell, Samuel, Plat for 150 acres in Berkly County (petition of 4 Feb 1772). 28 Mar 1772. Campbell, John, Plat for 150 acres on Tyger River (petition of 4 Feb 1772). [Note: all these plats were "technically" in Craven County, rather than Berkley, but c'est la vie...] Elizabeth Underhill Clark got her certificate from Warrington MM (York Co PA) on 9 Jun 1770. The extended family--or at least part of it--was in Charlestown SC to present petitions for land in Oct and Nov 1770, so the trip south must have occurred in the summer and fall of that year. Henry Clark, his son John Clark, and his son-in-law John Campbell got adjoining lands on Padgetts Creek of the Tyger River in Ninety-Six District (Union Co SC from 1785). John Campbell petitioned for 100 acres (the amount for a single head of household) together with his brother-in-law John Clark on 2 Oct 1770. Then he got an additional tract of 150 acres (for 3 dependents) on 4 Feb 1772, with his brother Samuel Campbell. The 150 acres requested by Samuel Campbell was less than the full amount (350 acres) to which he was entitled by the headright grant program. Besides his wife (Mary, widow of John Insco), their son Ralph was in the household before the petition date, and so were Mary's 3 children by John Insco. If Samuel Campbell had decided to pay the fee for more land later, when the children were old enough to help with cultivation, he did not take the opportunity to do that. It is unusual that he selected land so very distant from the rest of his family. The place name on his plat, "Holson's Branch of the Enoree River", is not very informative because it's one of those unlisted creeks with a location hard to pinpoint. But when the adjacent lands were sold later in Laurens Co SC deeds, neighbors James Bright, Joseph Whitmore and Basil Prather referred to their properties as being "below the Antient Boundary Line"--i.e., very near the western border of Laurens Co with the Cherokee Nation (later acquired as Greenville Co SC). Samuel and Mary Campbell did not remain at that far-western location for very long at all. SC Deed Book X-5, pp. 40-49: Lease & release, 2 & 3 July 1773, Samuel Campbell of District of Ninety Six, SC, and Mary his wife, to William Hendricks of said district, by grant 4 Nov 1772 to Samuel Campbell, 150 acres in Berkley County in the fork of Broad and Saludy Rivers on a small branch of Enoree called Holsons branch adj. Bazel Prater, Joseph Witmore, Wm. Hendricks, James Bright, recorded in Book No. 12, page 86, now for £200 SC money. Saml Campbell (LS), Mary Campbell (X) (LS), Wit: John Pearson, William Morgan, James Benson (X). Proved by the oath of James Benson 13 Sept 1785 before Levi Casey, J.P. Recorded 28 March 1787. [William Hendricks purchased 5 other neighboring tracts, all of them recorded on the same day.] The records do not tell us where Samuel and Mary Campbell lived after selling their only land grant. Somewhere around Padget's Creek would be a reasonable guess, but it's merely a guess. Samuel Campbell died at some point between Jul 1773 (when he sold his Laurens Co grant) and Jul 1775 (when widow Mary XXX Insco Campbell married Thomas Pearson). Thomas Pearson and John Clark were appointed guardians of the two Campbell boys by Bush River MM on 4.25.1778, but no guardianship was mentioned for the three Insco children, who were still minors in 1775 (other than oldest child Joanna, who had married by then). The birth dates for all of Mary's children--by 3 husbands--were added to the Bush River birth records, but that does not imply that all--or any--of the Insco/Campbell children were birthright Quakers or born in SC, except for Samuel Campbell's son John, b. 6.1.1772 after the parents' arrival in SC.

I am descended from Sarah and Ralph Campbell through their son Isaac Haskett Campbell. I have much info on this branch of the family if interested. I would like to know much more about Samuel (Ralph's father)i.e. where he and wife Mary were living when he died, where he is buried, etc. Where was his land grant located? Too, there seems to be no record of Ralph's only sibling - John Campbell, born July 1, 1772. His birth is recorded in the Bush River MM minutes, as well as his dismissal in 1797 with nothing after that. Any info on the above would surely be appreciated. Ralph and Sarah did not move to Ohio until 1819, and then to Montgomery County. In 1836 then moved on to Hamilton County, IN. where he died in 1841. Their son Isaac Haskett (my great-great grandfather) moved to Tippecanoe County, probably in 1836 as well, since his youngest son was born there in that year.

Greetings to all! I noticed that some folks were posting some Williams info. I am searching for a needle in a haystack. I am looking for a "Cor" Williams. The only thing I know about him is that he is a male, and lived in the Newberry area in the 1820's. He supposedly married my 5G-Grandmother (Catherine Blair) after my 5G-Grandfather (David Blair) died in about 1820-21. I also have no idea if he was a Quaker or not. I know it's a long shot, but we take any opportunity we get when we are looking for kinfolks. Thanks!Bill BlairDeland, FL *

I may not have read all the postings lately, but just in case this has not been brought up. Paul Kankula has gone all over this state, coumenting our churchyards and other burial grounds. He and his associate have done an excellent job, even to the point of trying to track graves that were moved before the flooding of Lakes Keowee, Jocassee, and Harwell in Oconee and Pickens Counties, He and I have conversed serveral time concernng some of the graves of my GG and GGG-grandparents that a church has paved over and removed the markers (rocks and rough-hewn stones). He has so much knowledge and such a caring spirit about the preservation of these things that, if you have not worked with him already, I would strongly suggest that you try to reach him. You can find his email on almost any county page where the cemetery surveys are listed. In many of the counties he has gone back and found old cemeteries that were essentially already "lost." Now, they are easily found and most you can walk into now. He has done more for the graves in this state than anyone I know, and it has been a particular interest of mine since I started genealogy many, many years ago. I do believe that he might be able to get the particular tools in there to determine where all the actual graves are. My primary family in Newberry were the PARKINS family (Daniel, his sons, a nephew). They came to Newberry with the earliest Friends in the 1700s and are supposed to be buried in the area SW of Prosperity. If anyone could give me exact directions, I would be more grateful than you can imagine! Daniel and most of his family died in some sort of epidemic but his nephew (name unknown) was sent some money by his uncle, Daniel, just before he died. This nephew married Mary PETERSON, dau of Thos., Mary and her husband, UNK PARKINS, died betw/1815-1817, leaving several children: Cassandra, Elizabeth, Milton and Sutley/Sutton. Cassandra PARKINS was my GGG-g'mother, and I would love to know more about her PARKINS ancestors. BTW, these PARKINS came from Winchester, VA to Newberry. I hope the above will help the group with the cemetery, and again, I would love to know anything about the PARKINS family and their ancestry. Many thanks and blessings to all, Dolores M.

As per our conversation about radar: Just a reminder, on our Cemetery Survey Day we found and mapped many sink holes which we didn't have time to investigate and which might well be good targets for ground penetrating radar assessment. Map is at: http://askgrannyus.posterous.com/bush-river-flyer-and-map

Judith, I thought I might have already mentioned this, but since I might not have, here in Horry County the Planning Dept has done a thorough search of the cemeteries, and got radar equipment from a grant, loan or rental. In case Newberry County has already done some work in this area, or has similar plans, the Director of planning there is Ann Peters 803-321-2166 Grace -----Original Message----- From: Judith F.

In Horry County (SC) the Planning department has done a serious study of all the cemeteries in the County. They had a grant to use or buy the equipment. The County where Bush River is may also have access to that. -----Original Message----- From: Judith F.

Thanks for this good info. I had always assumed that Ralph was not and never had been a member, but your material indicates that he was at one time, though disowned. All of the references after his disownment were to Sarah only, though they were together until his death in 1841 in Indiana. All of the pieces are beginning to fit with the help of you and others. In a message dated 1/11/2012 4:46:15 P.M. Central Standard Time, hhimrey@gmail.com writes: Sarah Hasket Campbell was disowned by Bush River MM because of her marriage to Ralph Campbell, who had been disowned the previous year. By 1809, Sarah--but not Ralph--was once again a member of Bush River. The meeting was still technically a Monthly Meeting (because not laid down until ~1822), but it functioned more as a Preparative Meeting. The Yearly Meeting had advised the Bush River trustees to sell the meetinghouse and other property in 1806. In 1809, the minority of members who remained in SC were transferred to New Garden MM (Guilford Co NC) for purposes of transacting business. They continued attending local worship meetings as well as their preparative meeting onsite at Bush River, but representatives had to travel to NC in order to handle the business matters for which a Monthly Meeting was required. Sarah Campbell was apparently re-instated in the meeting following a formal condemnation of her misconduct. The extant Bush River women's minutes cover only the years 1791-1801. They include no "con her mou" entry for Sarah Campbell, so she must have done that between 1801 and 1809. I was curious about the nature of those "condemnation" proceedings. E.g., did they have to grovel and produce tearful apologies for wrongdoing? That doesn't seem very Quaker-like, since the community was well aware that human beings are not prone to 100% perfection of behavior, even when they aspire to it. I looked around until I found a reference for the exact wording of a letter seeking re-admission. Search on <"Abraham Woodward" peace Quakers> to locate his biography, which contains the wording of two letters re condemnation of behavior, one unsuccessful and the second one successful. It was necessary to state exactly what one had done in violation of community standards, i.e., acknowledge one's specific faults, and ask to be received in fellowship again. A generic "I'm sorry that I messed up" was insufficient. Nobody expected a promise that "I'll never do anything wrong again in my whole life," just a statement that you were aware of the nature of your previous failure to live up to group norms. The former member did not apologize for the marriage itself, or for continuing to live with the non-Quaker spouse, just for the fact of having contracted a marriage by a process "contrary to discipline". Two currently-active Quakers might also marry contrary to discipline, if they skipped the announcements at their MM's, or had a J.P. or a non-Quaker minister conduct the ceremony. Then each would acknowledge their specific faults to their meeting, and hope for the best. Harriet Imrey On 1/11/2012 5:58 AM, Judith F.

I really appreciate this info. I believe all of the Sarah's mentioned were my ggg grandmother. When Sarah and Ralph went to Ohio it was to Montgomery County, while many from Bush River went to neighboring Miami County. The Mill Creek MM reference was very helpful. It located them in Ohio and proved the time that the move was made to Hamilton County. In a message dated 1/11/2012 4:02:35 P.M. Central Standard Time, jeobowman@gmail.com writes: The Richland/Carmel minutes were abstracted by Willard Heiss in Vol 6 of his Indiana Quaker records.; In these minutes, there is a Sarah Campbell who got a certificate to Westfield MM 6-7-1843. There is no Ralph Campbell mentioned, but it is possible that they did not have the Mens' minutes for that time period to abstract; I can't tell for sure from the info at the beginning of the minutes. In the Westfield minutes (also in Hamilton Co) a Sarah Campbell (is it the correct one?) was rocf Mill Creek MM, OH 8-11-1836. Also in the Westfield minutes there is a Sarah Campbell rocf Richland MM 6-8-1843 (obviously the same Sarah as listed in the Richland minutes). This would have been after Ralph had died according to your info. On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 6:58 AM, Judith F.
