Hi, All. I have got old e-mail addresses for two men whose work is primarily concerning the DUKE families of SC in the 1700's and 1800's. I have repeatedly tried to contact them, but with no good results!! My last known (and obsolete?) address for Bill DUKE is wmduke@phonl.com !! My last known (and obsolerte?) address for Robert (Bobby) DUKE is rduke66490@aol.com!! I have new info (to me) about some folks in SC who were the subject of earlier e-mails between us, a while back, and I would like to compare notes with either of these two men, again, now!! Please pass on my e-mail address (which is a new one) to either of them, as a courtesy to me!! Thanks, and the new address here is now jwd@vol.com!! I appreciate any contact with any DUKE students concerning the DUKE families of SC! Regards to all.

Bill wrote in an earlier email..... In the 1800s births and deaths were not recorded except by churches and newspapers. Roman Catholics kept pretty good records, but not many others. It's unlikely a birth would appear in a newspaper, unless there was something remarkable about the birth, or it was a small-town newspaper. Births were usually recorded in family Bibles in those days, but few of those have survived. It's very surprising you even know the exact date of his birth. *********** Another place to look is in land transfers. Many times the parents would include the name of their offspring. Pat

Hi Stephanie, Since there are twin boys, it might work a little easier. I would try the census for that area for the next several takings, (1810, 1820, 1830 etc) I would look for a Hershy family that was listed with two sons. The names wouldn't show, but there would be two sons, between 5-10 for 1810 and then between 15-20 for 1820. That assumes the parents stayed in the same area for a couple of census. By 1830 - 40 either or both sons may have married and be living near some Hersheys who are the right age to be their parents. Another tool might be the 1880 cd set of the census ... usually available at the LDS. Find either son , Thomas or George on it. Then get a death date and a certificate when you see that they have passed away. Parents may be on it. You probably thought of all of this , but thought I'd mention it anyway. ron At 08:31 AM 8/5/02 -0700, you wrote: >Hi Stephanie, > >In the 1800s births and deaths were not recorded except by churches and >newspapers.

Dear John: Thanks for sending the Chronicles. I do hope whatever the problem was, it is now resolved. I was not able to get the following address accepted in my "Favorites" list, but want to try any other you think might be accepted in my Microsoft Outlook program. It might be a little more "picky" than their Outlook Express I used to have. >http://home.sc.rr.com/threeriverschron/index.html >You may want to bookmark this for the next issue. It is working at this >writing. I lost my hard drive a few months ago and your site url along with it, sorry to say. Would you mind sending it again? Bad things sometimes turn out better than we expect, as I now have a better version of Acrobat and it opens the text very nicely. I do intend to finally make the effort to join Three Rivers and look forward to finding many more "goodies" in future issues. Best Regards, Edward Manigault Edward@fuse.net

Can anyone tell me about this institution? Was it located on the church grounds or elsewhere? I found it listed in the 1900 census, Charleston City. There was a woman listed as "Head" and 20 women of various ages (29-80) listed as "INMATES." Was this a poor house? I would really like to know about these women, as at least one of them may have connections to one of my families. chp

Hi Pat! Well, I still haven't found Almarinda Johnson, or her family. Around 1870 I did find an Asa Johnson, living in Illinois. Almarinda had a son whose middle name was Asa, Josephus Cox. Concerning Lyle ..... Josephus Asa Cox married Sallie Caroline Hill. I have seen Hills ... so there we go again!

Can someone help me concerning Mrs. Susannah North? She died in 1860, the oldest member of Charleston, SC Baptist Church. What was her relationship to John North, my ancestor? Thank you for any help you are able to give me. ENP

Janet I have a John Johnson born 1800 and he was noted in 3 different census, as being born in Tenn, Kentucky and North Carolina. He married Lillian Busbee from Aiken, SC but I don't know if he married her in SC or in Georgia. Hard to say: who answered the Census takers questions: them, family or neighbors?

I am seeking information regarding Thomas Hersey. He was born in 1802 in Darlington District, SC. He died in 1904 in GA. I was wondering if anyone who lives in SC can help me. I am looking for his parents...all anyone knows is that they are unknown and he was a twin brother named George. Maybe help with a church or someone knows someone who has a bible or something along those lines. Maybe SC has a genealogy society with that info or a major library that has that info. Any help would be appreciated. Stephanie Grohol

Last time I saw him was several years ago at a Hersey reunion in Waycross, GA....wish to know if he has email and would like to know if he is researching the Hersey line too....

Of possible further interest is the fact that the boundaries between the two states are currently being resurveyed. The archives for this list should include an article published within the past two years in The State, Columbia's mediocre newspaper, outlining the history of and plans for this resurvey.

<< Although I don't think SC and NC had any boundary shifts circa 1830. >> Greetings from SC. Originally, SC & NC were one geographic unit, the province of Carolina. Although the lines were drawn for separation in the 1700's , there was some refinement of the boundaries (& resulting confusion) into the 1800's. I find the following information on boundaries in Dr. Walter Edgar's book "South Carolina: A History" (USC Press, Columbia, SC, 1998). This is a must- have book for SC researchers. Hope this will be of interest to some fo you-- URQ p. 1 "When Charles II of England granted a second charter to eight Lords Proprietors in 1665, the boundaries of Carolina stretched from ...(the southern border of Virginia) to ... about fifteen miles due south of Daytona Beach) and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Within those boundaries were... all or portions of fifteen states and northern Mexico." p. 3 [paraphrased from Dr. Edgar's book] Boundary lines were agreed upon in 1735 but surveying errors occurred in 1737 & 1764 placing the border 11 miles south of where it should have been. The final line was set in 1815 (except for a dispute with Georgia that was resolved by the Supreme Court in 1990).
