Thanks to all who replied. The good news is that I actually got them! I was beginning to think my spam filter was acting up because the list is usually pretty active. Marsha - you've been busy as usual. I've been in "reorganizing" phase for the last couple months, attempting to get my files and documents in order so that in case of my untimely demise someone in my family might actually be able to figure out what I have stored where! And in so doing, I came across an acceptance letter from the Maine chapter of the Mayflower Society, admitting my maternal great-aunt. After a couple emails to them I now have her application and a few sources which were acceptable back then 1930 (I think they're stricter now). The whole lineage societey thing was never anything I aspiree to, but stumbling on the information is certainly interesting. And my youngest nephew is studying that era in school right now, so I'm trying to spark some interest with the (admittedly unsourced) tree I put together for him based on what the Society sent me. The one aunt gets us to 9 Pilgrims which, according to the guy in Maine I corresponded with, is rather unusual ! (of course, he wants me to pony up the $$$ to join!). We'll see...lots of work to be done if we want to pursue. Maybe nephew will get involved. If anyone else has gone through the process and has any advice/insight, please feel free to chime in! Thanks again.

The problem is not in locating a Revolutionary account record for Daniel Williams: all those are together in Accounts Audited (A.A. 8541) and Stub Indents (X689 and U397). The big problem is which Daniel Williams they were talking about. When the filing system for SC Revolutionary records was set up after the Civil War, every piece of paper with a given name on it was placed in a single file. One man with multiple spellings could appear in a different file for each spelling, along with all the other men whose spellings intersected. The Daniel Williams file, A.A. 8541, includes records that pertain to Daniel, son of Col. James Williams of Hanover Co VA, and his death at Hayes' Station in 1781. It also includes records for the Daniel Williams who was in the Cheraws District militia under Col. Lemuel Benton. One of the Stub Indents, U397, was for ?4.5.8 1/2 as reimbursement for lost property. It's in the right general region, because the account was included in Anderson's Return, [Col. Levi] Casey's [Little River] Regiment, Ninety-Six Brigade. But the other Williams men included on the same return were Joseph, Joshua and Barwick [AKA Baruch] Williams. That Joseph was also a son of Col. James Williams, and also killed at Hayes' Station. Barwick/Baruch Williams was one of the bunch who married Ducketts, Odells, and Prathers, in both MD and SC. I don't know if they were close enough to claim kin with Daniel and Cassandra Prather Williams. Besides Daniel, son of Col. James, Daniel Williams (Sr. and Jr.) from Granville Co NC also lived in the same region (Reedy River in Laurens Co). There would be little benefit in tracking down a record that said that a Daniel Williams (somewhere in SC) had provided services or provisions for some militia company (generally unidentified). There were so very many of them that it would be sheer chance to run across a familiar name connected with one specific Daniel rather than all the others.

Bush River Baptist Church was established in 1771. The records begin, however, in 1791. They are on microfilm at Furman University, Baptist Historical Collection, Greenville, SC. Also, see a book by Leah Townsend, South Carolina Baptists 1670-1803. I can also send a copy of what I have.

Hi Harriet: Good to hear from you again. Sure looks like a dead end for any info on our Daniel Williams. Thanks for answering my questions.

Greetings to all! I noticed a mention in the earlier post about Bush River Baptist Church and their records. Does anyone know what years their records cover and where the records can be viewed?

Hi, Tina. The problem is not in locating a Revolutionary account record for Daniel Williams: all those are together in Accounts Audited (A.A. 8541) and Stub Indents (X689 and U397). The big problem is which Daniel Williams they were talking about. When the filing system for SC Revolutionary records was set up after the Civil War, every piece of paper with a given name on it was placed in a single file. One man with multiple spellings could appear in a different file for each spelling, along with all the other men whose spellings intersected. The Daniel Williams file, A.A. 8541, includes records that pertain to Daniel, son of Col. James Williams of Hanover Co VA, and his death at Hayes' Station in 1781. It also includes records for the Daniel Williams who was in the Cheraws District militia under Col. Lemuel Benton. One of the Stub Indents, U397, was for £4.5.8 1/2 as reimbursement for lost property. It's in the right general region, because the account was included in Anderson's Return, [Col. Levi] Casey's [Little River] Regiment, Ninety-Six Brigade. But the other Williams men included on the same return were Joseph, Joshua and Barwick [AKA Baruch] Williams. That Joseph was also a son of Col. James Williams, and also killed at Hayes' Station. Barwick/Baruch Williams was one of the bunch who married Ducketts, Odells, and Prathers, in both MD and SC. I don't know if they were close enough to claim kin with Daniel and Cassandra Prather Williams. Besides Daniel, son of Col. James, Daniel Williams (Sr. and Jr.) from Granville Co NC also lived in the same region (Reedy River in Laurens Co). There would be little benefit in tracking down a record that said that a Daniel Williams (somewhere in SC) had provided services or provisions for some militia company (generally unidentified). There were so very many of them that it would be sheer chance to run across a familiar name connected with one specific Daniel rather than all the others.

Hi Tina, I am sorry that I cannot help with your 4g-grandfather Daniel Williams, however, I would like to learn more about the Bush River Baptist Church records (I am not familiar with that church). I had some non-Quaker relatives who lived in Union Co. and would like to know if they perhaps belonged to that church.
