I too am very interested in the possibility of visiting this area while attending the homecoming in Newberry in May. There will be some of us coming from the south that will not have the opportunity to travel down to Newberry along The Great Wagon Road so sure hope this activity will be considered by the planning committee. I have two lines. Am a descendant of Daniel & Cassandra (Prather) Williams of Newberry Co. My husband and I will be attending with the Williams descendants. Am also a descendant of the Col. John Thomas line. Judith mentioned Star Fort at Ninety Six, SC. Excellent suggestion! Col. John Thomas and two of his sons were imprisoned at 96th and Charleston. Would really like to be able to visit Star Fort and the battlefield while in the area. Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Ms. Miller: In your Williams research, have you found a "Cor. Williams"? I don't know what the "Cor." is short for (possibly Cornelius). He would have been alive and in Newberry in the 1820's. I believe he married one of my Blair's, Catherine Blair, widow of David Blair.

mapquest has the distance from Newberry to Ninety Six SC, location of the Star Fort, as 28 miles...This is a wonderful Revolutionary Fort, small and quiet, with nice interpretive signs and and good book store. jr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gayle Miller" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2007 9:54 AM Subject: [SC-BUSHRIVERQUAKERS] Fw: The Great Wagon Road >I too am very interested in the possibility of visiting this area while > attending the homecoming in Newberry in May.
