Hi, Bill. Daniel Clary (b. ~1710 in Baltimore), his wife Eleanor Deveron (Prince Georges Co MD), and most of their 13 children left Frederick Co MD for Newberry Co SC in 1774. They were not Quakers, but lived near the Bush River community. The third Daniel down (b. ~1780 in Newberry Co SC) married a Frances/Fanny in Edgefield Co on 15 Jan 1809. Her maiden name has been reported as Abney. She said that her name was Fanny Wills when she witnesssed an Edgefield deed in 1808, and that it was Fanny Clary (formerly Wills) when she proved it in 1821. They had six children before he died on 4 Nov 1824. The estate sale was in Edgefield Co in 1838, the petition for partition of the estate was filed in Newberry Co. The latter said that widow Frances Clary had married John Stephens and "died soon after". Daniel Clary III owned land on both sides of the Saluda River, lived on the Edgefield side; John Stephens lived on the Newberry side. The Clary family scattered to a lot of different locations in 1800-20. The one who remained in SC was Matthew Wills Clary (b. 11 Sep 1811, son of Daniel III and Fanny), who lived in Edgefield Co and was a Civil War Colonel. His grandfather Daniel Clary was a highly-respected Colonel of the Dutch Fork Regiment of (Loyalist) Militia, whose banishment was overturned and whose estate confiscation order was reduced to an amercement. He petitioned on 24 Jan 1783 for the restoration of his state citizenship, and got it. Despite the banishment order, he'd never left SC. Which of the numerous Clarys are you seeking? I know where some of them went, don't know if any of them married a Stephens, other than Frances Wills, widow of Daniel Clary III. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Blair" <[email protected]> To: "Bush River SC List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:58 PM Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Stephens or Clary family Has anyone run across any mention of the Stephens or Clary family in regards to the Bush River Quakers?
