>Gabby, thank you for responding to my inquiry. I have just started searching for my Amanda Blakely family in Laurens County, S.Car. In looking through books of court records in Salt Lake, I often found the name "John Blakely" in the same document as Nathaniel Robertson. They were usually witnesses. I am just assuming John was related in some way to Nathaniel. I have no other Blakely names YET. Do you have any info on John who married Rachel Ann?

We now have proof that John Cannady/Kennedy born about 1780-1785 in S.C. (probably Barnwell Co., S.C.) is the father of our line who settled in Emanuel County, Ga. He was first in the 1820 Emanuel Co. Census. He married Sarah ? from S.C. We believe their children were: William E. James H. Elizabeth Lucinda Wealthy - confirmed Narcissa - confirmed Daniel B. - confirmed Solomon - confirmed Mary - confirmed Most of the girls married Edenfield's. The men married Durden/Durdeno's.

Hi All!! I am looking for a Bramblett half-brother to Malinda Caroline Robinson/Robertson. Malinda was born about 1830 in Laurens Co, SC and died on24 Jul 1928. She is buried at Harmony Church in Laurens Co. She married Andrew Jackson Chappell about the end of the 1850' or shortly before the Civil War started. Malinda's parents are Vincent and Mary Thompson Robertson. Vincent was the son of Manoah and Millie Bramblett Robertson. It seems the Bramblett's and Robertson's intermarried quite frequently. Anyone have the parents for Mary Thompson and maybe a previous marriage or subsequent marraige. It seems she would be a young widow by the time Vincent died in 1845 Pickens Co, SC. I also have no dates for Mary. I am wondering if she connects with my Thomasson/Thompson's in Laurens (Robert Thomasson mar. Polly Hand and Nancy Owings/Owens). Thanks! Patricia A.

Connie, is there going to be a Timmerman or Ouzts reunion this summer? Helen

Thanks for answer. Jerry

It means that, although she seems to have been a Christian, her family felt assured that she was now among God's chosen people.

There is an inscription on the tombstone of Jannet B. COLE in a Manning, Clarendon County SC cemetery that says "A mother in Israel is at rest". Does anyone know the meaning of this? Jerry G. Cole Austin TX
