Hi, Kathryn. I think you'd very much enjoy reading Jesse Hogan Motes III and Margaret Peckham Motes, Laurens and Newberry Counties South Carolina: Saluda and Little River Settlements 1749-1775. Neighborhood Maps, and Abstracts of Colonial Surveys and Memorials of Land Titles, Including a Case Study, Jonathan Mote 1727-1763, Migration to Little River (Greenville SC: Southern Historical Press, Inc., 1994). The region covered by the book is to the west of the main Quaker settlement (Scotch and Palmetto Branch Creeks of the Bush River), but includes the residences of many members of the Bush River MM. The case study of the Mote family and all their inlaws is 80 pages of the book. It includes land and legal records, meeting records, tax and estate documents, etc., all with complete source references. The section on David Mote (1733-1817) includes his records from Prince George Co VA, Orange Co NC, Laurens/Newberry Co SC, Wrightsborough GA, and Miami Co OH. This is a particularly complete reference collection for anyone researching the Mote(s) family, and also informative about the other settler families who lived along the Saluda River in southeastern Laurens Co and southwestern Newberry Co SC. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathryn E.

My name is Kathryn Elizabeth Leas Stuart and I have been researching family for 30 some years. I'm 70 years old and live in Coshocton County, Ohio. I have quite a few connections to the Bush River Quakers - anyone connected to the family of David and Dorcas Mote, William and Mary Pattison Hickson/Hixson. I'm looking forward to the Bush River Cemetery Newsletter. Kathryn

Hi, Anyone with the MOTE family would do well to purchase the book mentioned below. Also, the person who did the research on the MOTE family, did an exhaustive search and compilation. There are maps in the book, not only for SC, but VA. When I checked my Amelia will book, only Jonathan appears on the estate settlement of George CABINESS, but the people named in the SC record are there: OSBORN for one. I found Jonathan MOTE in one of my four Amelia Co, VA books, but I don't dispute the findings of the researcher. I also found 3-4 in my Bristol Parish Register; David's birth in 1733 for one. According to the SC book named, there should be more. Source: Bristol Parish Register: "David Son of Jonathan & Sarah MOTE, born 13th ap' 1733, Bap 20th Oct." I didn't find a single MOTE in my Pr Geo Co, VA books, but the researcher is too good to make a mistake on where they were. He must have gone to the VA counties for his searches. And, in my Laurens Co, SC will book, Audrey is spelled "Ordery," Jonathan Jr's wife. All of my southern friends and families call me Ordery. My name is Audrey and the researcher for the MOTE family spelled it correctly in the genealogy. Just expressing my opinion for an excellent researcher; wish he would do more family histories.

Just to add to the above information about the Motes book, I believe it is for sale at Books on Main in Newberry, S.C. I think that was the place I got my copy. The shop owner is Randy Berry, and he is so nice. Carries a lot of books for the Newberry Genealogists as well as other wonderful books. Worth calling him.
