OK, it looks like I have caused a bit of confusion with the Blair’s in Newberry and Fairfield County’s of SC. I’ll try to see if I can help clear up any of the confusion. The two Blair’s that I know of that are buried in the Bush River Quaker Cemetery in Newberry County are John J. Blair (b-10/15/1799, d-7/21/1848) and George Blair (b-11/22/1831, d-2/27/1832). This George Blair is the son of this John J. Blair. This John J. Blair was married to Sabella Alewine Blair (b-1807, d-1/25/1884, bur-Chapels Methodist Church cemetery, Newberry County, SC). This John J. Blair operated a water powered mill in Newberry. Their children were: *George Blair (b-11/22/1831, d-2/27/1832). *James Patrick Blair (b-5/26/1834, d-11/19/1917, bur-Silverstreet Lutheran cemetery, Newberry County, SC) *Thomas Strait Blair (b-8/18/1836, d-1/15/1913) *Rebecca Jane Blair Thompson (b-1/1/1838, d-7/24/1912, bur-Chapels Methodist Church cemetery, Newberry County, SC) *Mattie C. Blair Werts (b-11/13/1842, d-5/24/1911) This John J. Blair’s father was James Blair (b-abt 1744, d-7/13/1816, bur-Kings Creek ARP Church Cemetery, Newberry). This John J. Blair had siblings named: Mary, Martha, Margaret, William, James, and George. There is still a little debate on John’s father’s connections, but either his brother or father was named William Blair (d-abt 1814 In Newberry County, SC). This William is my direct ancestor and is the oldest known ancestor I currently have. We believe that this William came to America from Ireland in about 1785. He was here in 1786 because he bought land in 1786 in Newberry District. We believe, but can’t prove yet that he came via ship from Larne Ireland. Very Likely James came with him or shortly thereafter. William’s son is named David. And David had two sons named William and John J. Blair. So my direct ancestor John J Blair (b-3/1800) had a cousin that was in Newberry that was 3 months older than he, that was also named John J. Blair. So basically, all of the Blair’s in Newberry in the early 1800’s are related closely and I know most of the connections. But across the river in Fairfield County there are 2 or 3 distinct lines of Blair’s that have not been able to be tied together, or directly tied to the Newberry Blair’s. We have all participated in the Blair DNA project and we know that the Fairfield Blair’s and the Newberry Blair’s are linked, but we just don’t know how yet. From what I can tell, I believe that the link will be found about 2 or 3 generations earlier in Ireland. >From all of the research we have done, the John J. Blair in the Quaker Cemetery is the only Quaker we have found in the Blair family. And I am only assuming that he was a Quaker because he (and at least one son) is buried in the cemetery. I am assuming (and again remember what assuming gets you) that this John made a split from the rest of the family and it likely was over slavery. This John’s father had a plantation in Newberry, and several of the Blair’s were slave owners. Most of the early Newberry Blair’s were Presbyterian’s. My father and I wrote a book on our Blair ancestors, called SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF THE BLAIRS. Much of this info is included in the book, if anyone is interested. I know that we are not supposed to use this list server to sell things, but if anyone is interested in more info on the book, please send me your email and I’ll get you more info off this list. I hope I’m not breaking any rules by mentioning it here. But I hope this will clear up some of the confusion. Maybe I just created some more. At any rate, I’m glad to share what info I have.

I've told many of you this before, but I'll repeat it...the most wonderful technological advance is (IMHO) google street scenes, which can provide you with up-to-date "drive-bys" of streets all over the world. You can guide the camera truck up and down streets as you look forward, back, left and right. The resolution has been recently upgraded and is truly remarkable. Practice with your home address and then try *everywhere in the world* your ancestors or "cousins" live or lived. Yesterday I viewed "Wee-Waa, New South Wales, Australia," which makes me believe the trucks have truly photographed the whole world. Or at least a good part of it. Here's how it works for me with Windows XP and google. 1. Go to google 2. Click on maps 3. type in your address or city of interest 4. you might see an instant photo on the left, but anyway 5. look for the little yellow man in the upper left of the map 6. click on him and drag him onto the map 7. any street that turns blue has been photographed 8. wait for the upload and then you will see the street and by using the arrow keys you can look around 360 degrees. 9. Click further down the street to move the camera.

When you change your email address, remember you have to "subscribe" with your new address to our SC Bush River Quakers list and all other rootsweb lists. The change to a new address will not happen automatically. I would be glad to enter your new subscription for you, just let me know when the need occurs. But you can easily also do this yourself. This morning I got notification of 2 automatic deletes from the list because old emails no longer were functioning. At the bottom of each message to the list, you will see directions for "unsubscribing" from the list. These same directions work for subscribing with a change in wording from unsubscribe to subscribe: To subscribe to the list, please send an email to SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message We don't want to lose you!

Thank you Harriet and I will forward this on to the list...I checked the other old lists, also, that are in the "Historic Bush River Quaker Cemetery" book.

There are several Blair's in Newberry and Fairfield County, SC. It looks like there are about 2 or 3 different lines though. I'm not aware of anyone that has been able to trace their Blair line outside of SC. There is also another Blair line around the Charleston, SC area. A whole bunch of Blair's are currently at dead ends. This John Blair is the son of either George or James Blair of Newberry(I'd have to look back in my notes to be sure). I'm assuming the George Blair in the cemetery is a son of this John(again, I'd have to go back into my notes to see if I have any particulars). There are many frustrated Blair's with ties to this area.

Thats what I get for transcribing onto the computer and then copying that into the email... the list was spaced and looked at least readable... Bob C.

In 2005 we were only able to note the general area where the Blair were thought to have been, because someone had seen them before. I don't think any other map had ever been done. However, the NCYM has given permission for simple replacement markers to be installed, should anyone want to do that. I have some additional information about possible replacement markers if someone wants to pursue this idea.

Well, this is sure a famous name, BLAIR. Does this line connect to the BLAIRS who intermarried with HARRISON; Miles CARY; MERIWEATHER, WASHINGTON, BOLLING, etc? I think the HARRISONS were Quakers - can that be confirmed? My interest in the BLAIRS are because they intermarry with some of My mother's families. We don't, however, have a direct line of these Families. I have four volumes of "Some Prominent Families of Virginia." Interesting to read about the BLAIRS. These comments come from one of my mother's family books of ancestors.

Thank you for this list. Just looking at the list quickly, I think that we found all of these markers at the 2005 Bush River Survey Day except those of George Blair and John Blair. Someone at Survey Day knew where they were originally located and we searched and were not able to find them.

The fellowship is sponsored by the North Carolina Friends Historical Society to encourage research and use of the Friends Historical Collection. The recipient will be asked to present his/her research and findings at the Society’s annual meeting. The Friends Historical Collection, located in Hege Library, is the center for the study of Quaker history in the Southeast, with particular emphasis on North Carolina. The collection is open to Guilford students and faculty, Friends, visiting scholars, and genealogical researchers. The collection includes the written records of Carolina Friends from 1680 to the present, printed and microfilmed copies of other Friends records, personal and family papers, the college archives, printed materials by and about Friends worldwide, and sources for the study of Quaker family history. The Fellowship We invite applications from a range of backgrounds: dissertation, post-doctoral, and non-academic. We anticipate that the most competitive applications will involve innovative projects of the many concerns to which Friends have turned their attention, including literature, women's issues, family history, and race relations, as well as religious doctrine and controversies. Applications will be evaluated according to the following criteria: • demonstrated understanding of the applicability of our particular holdings to the anticipated project. • probability that the project will result in a product that will advance the worlds' understanding of the multiple dimensions of religion. • evidence of the applicant's prior familiarity with and effective use of similar collections. How to Apply *DEADLINE: March 15, 2011* Applicants should send the following materials as PDF attachments to archives@guilford.edu and also mail a print copy to Gwen Gosney Erickson, Friends Historical Collection, Guilford College, 5800 West Friendly Avenue, Greensboro, NC 27410: • a three-to-five page statement of research goals, including what progress has been made to date; a statement of how this project will further greater understanding and/or scholarship by placing Southern Quaker history in the context of your subject area, an assessment of how Guilford's materials can further its progress, and an estimate of when the project is expected to be completed. • a current vita or resume • if applicant's background does not include published work, include a writing sample • the names and addresses of three references who are familiar with both the field in which the applicant proposes to work, and with the applicant's work. Please inform your references that they could be contacted. • permanent and any temporary addresses (e-mail and postal) and phone numbers Friends Historical Collection Guilford College 5800 West Friendly Avenue Greensboro, NC 27410 USA 336-316-2264 www.guilford.edu/fhc ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to QUAKER-ROOTS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Thanks for responding, Dave. I have so many flagged emails that I need to go back to! I do think that my William Dodd is probably the one consistently in Kennett, Chester, PA, ca 1731-40 taxlists. a 1741/42 deed from Prince William, VA (then mega country) states he was lately of PA. I keep looking in MD counties adjacent to the Potomac around Northern Neck area of VA for clues.

Chris has been searching for a Sarah Morgan born 1755-1760 in Georgia. She married a Joel Sanders Jr. born 1751. They both died in Ohio. Joel was Quaker and disowned due to marriage. Sarah was 1/2 Cherokee. Chris cannot find Sarah's parents anywhere. The children of Joel and Sarah were Barbara born 1780 married Samuel Whitson (Chris's line), William born 1778 married Amy Williams, Sarah, Charity, Mordecai, and Margaret. Chris does not know where to go next in this search. Perhaps Chris has already explored my suggestions, but I will present them here in case they might be helpful. In a discussion of Native American Quakers on the Quaker-Roots web site, I submitted a mailing dated 9 Aug 2005. I called attention to some passages from a genealogy, _The Alllen Family, Desceandants of John and Amy Cox Allen with Allied Lines_, compiled by Lester M. Allen and copyright in 1987. On pages 264-265 he discusses the Cherokee Indian ancestry of the Sanders family. giving three separate accounts which vary in details but have certain similarities. For those not acquainted with Quaker history in the South, I might give a brief overview. Beginning shortly after 1700, Quakers began to move out of the Delaware Valley from the area of southeast Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, and northern Delaware, ----- through eastern Maryland to northern Virginia. In the years following 1750 this group of Quakers began to move in large numbers into the Piedmont area of north-central North Carolina. About 1762, dissatisfied with conditions in Virginia and North Carolina, Quakers began to move into the back country of western South Carolina. Several families came from the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting area near present-day Snow Camp, North Carolina. This new South Carolina settlement was centered at Bush River near the present town of Newberry, South Carolina. However, some of these Quaker settlers at Bush River did not stay in South Carolina, but when they were offered special inducements by the government of Georgia about 1770, they moved about 40 miles away from Bush River to establish a new Quaker settlement called Wrightsborough in present-day McDuffie County, Georgia. In 1774 Wrightborough Monthly Meeting was set off from Bush River Monthly Meeting. However, there seemed to be communication between the two groups of Friends and some intermarriage. In the years from about 1800 to 1808, there was a great emigration of Quakers from the Bush River and Wrightsborough to the general area of the Northwest Territory, primarily to escape the encroachment of the culture employing slavea labor. Bush River emigratnts seemed to settle primarily in southwest Ohio . Some Wrightsborough emigrants settled in the same area of Ohio, but some moved to eastern Tennessee, and some moved as far as the Belmont County area of eastern Ohio. Following this emigration, the Friends Meetings of the South Carolina and Georgia back country could not be maintained and were closed. In the later nineteenth century, descendants of the Quakers making the migration from the Carolinas and Georgia to the Ohio and Indiana territories compiled accounts of the migration. Some of these accounts were published in books and periodicals of the time, but others seem not to have had large circulation and can be found only in large library archives. Lester Allen, in his genealogy, quotes from accounts wirtten by Wilson S. Doan and by Walter Boone. Wilson S. Doan writes of a story told by Aunt Molly Coppock at an evening camp fire of those from Bush River on their way to the Northwest Territory. She stated that her grandmother was a Cherokee Indian. "For over seventy years, there was an Indian village on Bush River not far above the little Friends settlement. There was a good deal of bitterness between the Indians and the white men, and border warfare between them was frequent. One night, a company of soldiers, together with some settlers, who had volunteered, fell upon this Indian village and killed every Indian, man, woman, and child, save only two. A little boy and a little girl, about five and six years old, escaped in some way from the burning wigwams and the scenes of slaughter, and the next morning they were found by my great-grandfather, when he happened to pass that way. They were hungry and were crying, and he took them to his home. Later, he adopted them. They grew into manhood and womanhood, as my great grandfather's own children, and his own son fell in love with the girl and they were married That girl was my grandmother Sanders, and from that time the Cherokees have always been our friends. Grandmother taught me their language when I was a little girl and I can still speak it quite well." Another version, perhaps referring to the same massacre, written by Walter Boone, includes the following: The Quakers heard that an Indian village in the Carolinas had been destroyed and the inhabitants massacred by white men. The Quakers went there to see if there was anything they could do. They buried the victims and found two little Indian girls hiding in the bushes nearby. They brought them home and they were raised by a Quaker family, David Johnson-Mary Woody. Later two Sanders brothers married them. My grandmother, Elizabeh Hoover (Sanders) Boone was dark complected ------- The version told by Molly Coppock seems most authentic and peartaining to the Quakers of Bush River and Wrightsboroush. I have not been able to ascertain the parentage of Molly Coppock. She appears to have been an older woman at the time of the migration north. Coppock families received certificates to Miami Monthly Meeting in Ohio from Bush River Monthly Meeting in 1805 and 1806. Perhaps "Molly"' was a nick-name and not a proper name. The family of Joel Snders, Sr. was received ito membership by Wrightsboroush Monthly Meeting on May 6, 1775 by a certificate from Cane Creek Monthly Meeting (North Carolina) dated January 2, 1773. This does not necessariy mean that the family left North Carolina in 1773. They might have moved to South Carolina or Georgia several years before requesting a certificate. The records of Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting, especially the men's minutes, have not all been preserved. It appears that Joel Sanders, Jr. must have been disowned for marriage contrary to discipline. On October 5, 1782, Sarah Sanders, wife of Joel, was received into membership by Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting at her request. Joel Sanders, Jr. must have then been received back into membership by Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting. On December 2, 1786, William and Barbara, small children of Joel Sanders, were received into membership by Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting at the request of their father.---- The records of Wrightsborough Monthly Meeting after the beginning of 1793 have been lost. It is presumed that Joel Sanders, Jr. and Sarah and family were granted a certificate to a Friends Monthly Meeting in Ohio when they left Georgia, probably Miami Monthly Meeting. Abstracted records of the early southwestern Ohio Monthly Meetings are included in Volume 5 of the _Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy_, compiled by William Wade Hinshaw. I do not have a copy of this work at hand. If Sarah Morgan had been the little Indian girl, wandering with her brother, outside of the massacred Indian village, It would probably be difficult to ascertain her parentage. Perhaps the annals of Cherokee history include an account of the massacre, where and when it actually occurred. I do not know how she acquired the name of Sarah Morgan. Perhaps she had a white father with the surname of Morgan. Perhaps he was living in the Indian village with his Indian wife at the time of the massacre and was killed, or perhaps his relationship with the Indian woman had been terminated before the time of the massacre, and he had left the area. --------- These are my thoughts concerning this matter at this time, and I hope they might be helpful to Chris in the search for the background of Sarah Morgan. - Herbert Standing, Earlham, Iowa. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Hi Judith, I've been "lurking" in your site since we talked about cemetery restoration a couple of years ago. We may just get to begin on our restoration in Missouri this summer. Anyway, I've been reading all the postings about various Quaker movements and where you all have family beginnings. I have a resource for your group that has lots of publications based on Quakers. It is AncestorStuff.com. They have a free newsletter itemizing various publications. This last one has several Quaker information publications for sale. I thought you all might want to check them out for reference resources. I have purchased items from them and they are very reliable. What you see and read about is truly what you get. I have not regretted any of my purchases. Bev Rampey
