And while you're looking for Bill's GAY surname, please check for THOMPSON for me? Charlotte

Does anybody have, or have access to, any wills and//or will indexes for Darlington County in the 1790 thru 1830 period? I am looking for any mention of the surname of GAY in that area. Thank you. Bill

Hello I visited Camden in the mid 90's and enjoyed visiting the Camden Archives. I found not only did I have I have ancestors in the Revolutionary War fighting for freedom, but Loyalists who were plundering SC to Florida, and settled for a time in St Augustine with the Spanish. The librarians were able to offer quite a bit of assistance. It seems my Schofield family was split between their allegiance to the Revolution or the King. One of them was the Schophol who was a leader of the anti-regulator faction in South Carolina, 10 years before.

Hi Harold, Actually, I like the research very much. Finding a record feels like solving a mystery, but yes, I can get overloaded. I've seen that quote before, but surely it isn't always true. And...I know you were joking. Also, I fully understand how people feel when they need a record that proves their lineage. Remember back before computers when I hounded the mailman for mail bringing me information on our families.

I apologize to those of you who will get this more than once, but I am cross-posting. Does anyone have access to either an index of wills or abstracts of will for the Darlington County area in the late 1700s and early 1800s? I am looking for ones that may mention the children, especially children of either Thomas or James GAY. I need to find out if either shows a son named Nathaniel born about 1812'ish. Thank you. Bill Hughes kinseeker4@earthlink.net

> Bill, > James wifes name was Ann Jackson Ferebee, born on 12/10/1880. > Don I'm gonna let you get away with claiming a ''senior moment'' on this one.........WHAT was Ann's date of birth???????????????? Bill

With all the querys and comments on SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com about Talbert/Tolbert, I checked to see if I have any. I have not researched them, but have the following who married into the SELF line which connects to my HOLLOWAY lines of Edgefield Co., SC.> Greenwood Co. SC. HC Ouzts has a collection of Talberts, which he stores in an EXCEL spreadsheet. His files are his "electronic file cabinet", where he stores all of his little slips of paper, census finding, cem. findings, etc electronically. Since he also uses published family histories, which we all know from our own attempt to research our families generally contains errors, I am sure some of the connections need a lot more work. Very little PROOF given, but his files have helped point me into the right directions, and I work on proving the info. myself. I have more info. on the Self/Jennings/Holloway family to which his wife is connected. Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net Descendants of William Lafayett "Billy" Talbert Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM LAFAYETT "BILLY"1 TALBERT1 was born December 01, 1839 in SC1, and died January 07, 19081. He married MARY ELIZABETH "MOLLIE" SELF2,3 November 22, 18653, daughter of DANIEL SELF and HULDA JENNINGS. She was born July 28, 1848 in Edgefield Co, SC3, and died March 14, 19063.

To all this may concern. Please do not ask for more lookups for awhile. I have got to undercover in this room. Looking through so many books has me working in a very small place and I need now to put things away. Thanks for understanding. Audrey

This in in request for the surname above. Audrey "Page 326: 31 Dec 1791. John CHESNUT and his wife, Esther, to Samuel MAPRET (?), all of Chester Co. 150 acres of land granted to 13 Aug 1756 to John Jacob CULP on Rocky Creek, on south side of Catawba river, bounded then by vacant land, now by George CHERRY's widow's land, transferred by CULP on 5 Apr 1787 to James CHESNUT and his wife, Esther.

This is in response to a request for HEMPHILL, however, we have a STROUD line from VA>NC>SC>TX. The STROUD line in these records is from Orange County, NC, but previously of Southside VA, first in Prince George Co, VA, then in Brunswick County. John Altman POOL m. Tennessee STROUD, d/o Alfred W. STROUD & Mary Ann BEST. Alfred W. STROUD was s/o Marshall STROUD, s/o William STROUD. Perhaps William's wife was a ROSE...will have to check on that. Anyone researching these families.

Billie, There are quite a few GARRET wills in Laurens, SC. Have you seen those? So many of the families seem to have crossed over in the Upper SC counties.

The Camden Archives and Museum, Camden SC has microfilm of the old newspapers. it also has all of the SC death certificates, all but the 1830 census for the entire state, ( will have that, but not yet), Mortality census records, houses the SCDAR Library collection with books put out by many chapters all over the state, plus purchased books of deeds, wills, cemetery, marriage, etc books. I do most of my research there, and I am an Edgefield Co. researcher. I go to the State Archives for copies of probate records. They have church records etc of churches in Kershaw Co. and lots of books, vertical files of family records, and a FTM program containing over 100,000 names that have been donated by various families, and research of others. The best newspaper collection I believe is at the Caroliniana Library on the campus of Univ. of SC in Columbia. Good luck, and come visit Camden.
