Hi I have enjoyed being a member of this list for a while now and am looking forward to your Cemetery Newsletter. I have been researching John Pearson b. abt. 1730 in Philadelphia and d. bet 1790-1800 in Orangeburgh District. He and his family came to Newberry District in 1750 with his father-in-law Paul Williams and family. They settled on Second Creek. John and Paul were Baptists and not Quakers. I am seeking John and Paul's roots in Pennsylvania. It may be possible that John was a Quaker turned Baptist. Also researching Davis family. Seeking info on a family, some of whom left Orangeburgh/Barnwell for Newberry in abt mid 1700's. Harmon, Asa, Van, William, Rezin. Who was their father?
