Hi, Bill; Looking for William Snipes, b. abt 1830, appears in Kershaw co. in 1860; may be in Lancaster by 1880, wife: Caroline. Thanks, Bill Snipes Alternate E-mail Address: wrs1940@netscape.net

I first want to apologize to those who receive this posting more than once, as I am cross posting it. I could very well be stepping in over my head here, but if everybody co-operates, I'm hoping that it will go ok and a lot of info can get moved around. I have the 1880 Federal Census for SC, and will ''try'' to do lookups. There are some ground rules, tho: 1- One ''full'' name request per e/mail 2- A date of birth or approximate age at 1880 3- The county would be helpful, especially on more common names 4- NO blanket requests for any surname[s] 5- Do NOT include a lot of family history......it's not necessary If y'all can follow these simple guidelines, then I will try to keep up. Failure to follow them will mean that the e/mail will simply be deleted. Sorry, but I expect a bunch of folks to jump on this. Another thing, since this is Memorial Weekend, please remember to pay tribute to those veterans in your families. If you have a website where you have them listed, let the rest of us know so that we can take a looksee, too. If any of you are interested, go to my website [URL below] and scroll down to ''Special honor and Recognition" and click on the blue button directly underneath......."Veterans Honor Roll". Have a safe and enjoyable weekend. Bill http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bhughes/

Hi List Members! Since it is the subject at hand, I figured I would give you all some hints at writing more productive emails and a little bit of netiquette. Hopefully some of you will pick up on a few of these! 1) Please when writing to the list, look at the subject line in your email! Is it pertinent to your query? Or have you just hit the reply button to someone else's mail and the subject has nothing to do with your letter? Please make that subject line special to your query! 2) DO NOT hit reply to on the entire digest! DO NOT have a subject line that says Re: LISTNAME-D Digest V00 #266! That subject has nothing to do with your query or anyone else's original message! 3) When writing a query, DO NOT write in all UPPERCASE LETTERS! This is only done when you are SHOUTING at someone! 4) When writing an effective query, please put SURNAMES in UPPERCASE as this makes it easier for others to spot when reading their mail, thusly making your query more effective! 5) Try to list any dates and locations that you know! Maybe someone else will be searching that SURNAME in that time period and locality, (not necessarily your ancestor but maybe a brother, sister or cousin) 6) Always include your email address in the body of the letter too! The messages are archived. It will be easier for someone to do a search in the mail lists and see your email address in the body so if they are not list members, they can still answer you easily! 7) Be polite! No one is perfect and not everyone will take the time to use common netiquette, but that doesn't mean you have a right to tell them what to do. If you have a problem with a list member, write LISTNAME-admin@Rootsweb.com and let the list maintainer decide what to do. You have no right telling fellow list members what to do or not to do! 8) When sending a web site address, always type it in the form of "http://." because some e-mail programs will permit the user to click on a web address to go right there. Without the "http://" prefix these programs will not recognize it as such. 9) Do not blatantly promote your business by posting an advertisement to a discussion group, unless it is clearly an accepted use and you have cleared it with the list maintainer first. Otherwise, you are "spamming." 10}Do not forward personal e-mail to a discussion group without getting the author's permission first. Also do not forward from one mail list to another without the original author of the message's permission! 11) Read over your e-mail before you send it. Although e-mail is an informal method of communication, be sure you make your points clear and concise. Use a spell checker if available! 12) Consider that a large audience will see your posts. Take care in what you write. Remember too, that mailing lists are archived, and that your words will be stored for a very long time in a place to which many people have access. 13) If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! 14) Be careful when you reply to messages or postings. Frequently replies are sent back to the address which originated the post - which in many cases is the address of the mail list! You may accidentally send a personal response to a great many people, embarrassing all involved. 15) When sending a message to more than one mailing list, especially if the lists are closely related, apologize for cross-posting! 16) When unsubscribing from a list on RootsWeb write a new email in plain text to LISTNAME-L-Request@RootsWeb.com (or -D if you are a digest mode member) with only the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the body of the message and please spell unsubscribe correctly. You have to unsub from the address you are subscribed under, otherwise you will never get off the list! If you can't use the address you are subscribed under, write LISTNAME-admin@RootsWeb.com and explain the problem. 17) Do not post virus warnings to the mail lists! RootsWeb has filtering set up where you will NEVER get a virus from a RootsWeb mailing list! 18) Always post in "plain text" If you don't know how to switch your program to plain text, see http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/html-off.html and it will walk you through it! 19) Write LISTNAME-admin@RootsWeb.com before deciding to promote a new mailing list. Ask permission first! 20) Most of all have fun!

Can you please look for the surname Kierce or Kearse? It would probably be in either Orangeburg or Barnwell County. Thanks! Vanessa

For my two cents, I find all caps much more difficult to read, because there is very little distinction between letters which are all the same height. So, let's please stick to the etiquette rules. Your emails can always be placed into another document and enlarged if you have a vision problem. Also, there are magnifying instruments which can be placed over your screen, or you can invest in glasses designed for computer use. My husband did these, and he is very please with the results.

I am looking for information on any Tinsley families that were in South Carolina in 1830. My GGrandfather Leonard Nelson Tinsley supposedly was born in South Carolina Dec 6, 1829. I have been looking for the names of his parent's for a long time and I can't find any information at all on who they might be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Leona Tinsley Shields

Hi Ted & Freda, on a trip recently, i veered off the interstate to take a look at Blakely Battle Park (Lincoln's War)near Mobile, Alabama. At the top of the road, highest point in Baldwin Co. AL, there is a cemetery dedicated to Zachariah GODBOLD of SC, the only rev war vet buried in Baldwin Co. AL. I had this Zachariah in my notes for Godbold & Nettles in Wilcox Co. AL, wonder if he is the same one? p. 68 - "In abt 1735, John Godbold was among the 1st to come to the region of Liberty Precinct (now Marion Dist.) SC, located lower down the Pedee River from the Welch Neck settlement. He was an Englishman and a long time sailor in the British service. During the French & Indian wars, he was plundered of almost all the personal property he had gathered Of thirty negroes, twenty-two were taken from him and never recovered. He m. Elizabeth M'Gurney, they had John, James, and Thomas; and Elizabeth and Anne. John m. Priscilla Jones and they had Zachariah, John and Jesse Godbold. Zachariah was a captain in the Revolution; James m. Mourning Elizabeth Baker and had 6 sons - John James, Zachariah, Cade, Abram, and Thomas. Of these, John and Zachariah were lieutenants in the Revolution. Thomas was the father of the late Hugh Godbold of Marion Co. SC. Hugh d 1859 and was possessed of a large and valuable fund of information as to the early settlements on the Pedee and their s! ubsequent history and extraordinary tenacity in genealogical details used in this book. Thomas, the third son, married Martha Henson? and had four sons: Stepeh, David, Thomas and Ely. Of these Thomas was the father of Asa Godbold of Marion and Ely, who left a son bearing his name. John Godbold was a member of the Church of England and died in 1765 at the age of more than 100 years." josie > > From: Ted and Freda Noble <tnoble@mcn.org> > Date: 2002/05/23 Thu AM 01:27:43 EDT > To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com Researching my Southern Families: Roberson/Robertson/Robinson,Bonner, Blakely,Wright, Sills, Thornton, Canterbury, Godbold, Solomon, Pate, Grice, Herron, Regan, Sims, Boles, Jones. > > > ==== SC-Genealogy Mailing List ==== > To contact the list maintainer > SC-Genealogy-admin@rootsweb.com > >
