Calvary Lutheran church, near Ridge Springs today with my mother. It was our first visit and we are not actually of the line of most of those who were there. Were you there today? My great-grandmother Hulda Rauton is the sister of Yancy Leonard Rauton who married Savannah Lott. Several individuals gave me some information to help me get started on the research on the Yancy line. I have the earlier generations, which I will share with you researched pretty well. Of course, it will never be finished, as I am sure there will always be something that is missed. The PROVEN direct line of Rauton/Rottons down to Yancy is as follows. Direct Descendants of John Rotton, Sr. 1 John ROTTON, Sr. b: Abt. 1770 in SC d: January 29, 1852 in Edgefield Co., SC . +Mary [GREEN] b: Abt. 1776 in SC d: July 11, 1855 in Edgefield Co., SC ..... 2 Willis ROTTON b: Abt. 1805 in SC d: Abt. April 13, 1859 in Edgefield Dist., SC Burial: May Cemetery, Saluda Co., SC ......... +Miranda "Mary" MAY b: Bet. 1815 - 1818 in Edgefield Co., SC m: Bef. 1838 d: Aft. 1870 Burial: May Cemetery, Saluda Co., SC Father: Charles May Mother: Mary (Polly) Ann Loveless ............ 3 William S. Rauton (ROTTON) b: Abt. 1838 in Graniteville, Edgefield Co., SC d: Abt. 1890 ................ +Elmina BURNETT b: December 10, 1848 in SC m: March 25, 1865 in Edgefield Co., SC d: May 05, 1888 Burial: Graniteville Cem., Graniteville, Aiken Co., SC Father: Thomas Jefferson Burnett Mother: Emily Holloway ................... 4 Yancy Leonard RAUTON b: Abt. 1872 in SC d: October 1937, GA I am not sure, but I think I understand that you descend from Yancy Leonard Sr's son Yancy Jr. Is that right? Mel Rauton gave me the following names today as children of Yancy Sr., which includes a son Yancy L. Rauton Jr. Descendants of Yancy Leonard Rauton 1 Yancy Leonard RAUTON b: Abt. 1872 in SC d: October 1937 GA . +Savannah Elizabeth LOTT b: Abt. 1874 in SC Father: Jesse Allen Lott Mother: One of Two Wives? ..... 2 Barbara RAUTON ..... 2 Iola RAUTON ..... 2 Azalee RAUTON ..... 2 Ernest RAUTON ..... 2 Bunyon RAUTON ..... 2 Yancy RAUTON, Jr. ..... 2 Jesse William RAUTON Without dates, I cannot put them in order yet. Savannah Lott Rauton's family seems to go like this: Direct Descendants of Lewis Elbert Lott [From the files of HC Ouzts] 1 Lewis Elbert LOTT b: Abt. 1795 . +Fereby BUSH b: Abt. 1795 m: 1815 in Edgefield Co, SC ..... 2 John Henry LOTT b: Abt. 1825 in Edgefield Co, SC d: 1865 in Chattahooche River TN [CW] ......... +Barbara E. SENN b: October 14, 1826 d: March 10, 1898 Burial: Dry Creek Baptist Church, Saluda Co, SC ............ 3 Jesse Allen LOTT b: August 22, 1849 d: February 25, 1911 ................ +Two WIVES ................... 4 Savannah Elizabeth LOTT b: Abt. 1874 in SC Since Jesse Allen Lott married twice and all I have is an 1880 census record with his second wife, I cannot yet determine which children belonged to which wife, so I have not listed them. If you have any records that would clarify that I would love to hear from you. Some additional folks from todays interviews fit into the family as follows: Descendants of Yancy Leonard Rauton 1 Yancy Leonard RAUTON b: Abt. 1872 in SC d: October 1937 . +Savannah Elizabeth LOTT b: Abt. 1874 in SC Father: Jesse Allen Lott Mother: Two Wives ..... 2 Barbara RAUTON ..... 2 Iola RAUTON ..... 2 Azalee RAUTON ..... 2 Ernest RAUTON ..... 2 Bunyon RAUTON ............ 3 John Daniel RAUTON b: in Lyons Co, GA ............ 3 Albert Bunyon 'AB' RAUTON b: August 21, 1833 in Lyons Co, GA [source of the info. on his line] ............ 3 Alla Lee RAUTON b: August 21, 1833 in Lyons Co, GA ............ 3 Barbara Ellen RAUTON b: in Lyons Co, GA ..... 2 Yancy RAUTON, Jr. ..... 2 Jesse William RAUTON ............ 3 George 'El' RAUTON b: January 01, 1934 ............ 3 Mel RAUTON b: January 01, 1934 in Lyons Co, GA [source of the names of gen. 2 and the children of Jesse] ............ 3 Jesse William RAUTON, Jr. b: in Lyons Co, GA ............ 3 Virginia RAUTON b: in Lyons Co, GA ............ 3 Harry RAUTON b: in Lyons Co, GA ................... 4 Gail RAUTON ....................... +Butch FOGLE [source of the name of his wife and who she connects to. I have his email, so hope to get more info. soon. That is all that I have at this time until I get somewhere, such as the Greenville Co. Public Library (3 hrs away) that has GA census records. Someone in the area of Lyons Co, Ga. could go to the court house and get wills, deeds, marriage, death, etc records that would prove information on the family. Let me know what you are interested in and please share the info on your direct line. Please include sources for me, such as Bible records, birth certificate #s, and as much detail as you can. I will add them to the files and send you the updates. Good to hear from you. Hopefully others on the 3 SC lists above will be able to help us both. Any additions and corrections are most welcome.
