Dear Wyndell, The reason I bothered to reply to the comments about Leonardo Andrea's work can be very well documented by going to Rootsweb dialing up the Major family, put in John Major and Martha Eliza Epps as his wife and see what you get. By persuing through the files you will find a 1999 publication on this that in great depth quotes Leonardo Andrea's work. If Leonardo had gone to VA and looked in the VA Archives he would have found two books one published in 1915 by James Branch Cabell and the other published in the 1937 by Julian Neville Major on the Major families of VA. The work he did for my Hendricks relative Mary Lee Robbins of Longview, Texas was done in the 1950 and 60s. James Branch Cabell's book has to my knowledge only one mistake in his text which is well documented from official records. Cabell did not have access to a Major family record of 1777 on the will of Bernard Major that was not put into the VA Archives until 1955 by J. T. Major of Charles City Co., Va. These books should have made Leonardo Andrea wonder about his quotes on John Major of Newberry and Abbeville Co., SC being a Pvt in the Revolutionary War from Virginia. At that time John Major was like John Smith is sorting them out, but it can be done. See Virginia Archives file 35792, Major Family Genealogical Notes. A follow up on Julian Neville Major's book has recently also been published in 1998 by James Russell William Major, a retired professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Ga. which offers not much new genealogically but a lot of more details about the King and Queen, Caroline and Culpeper Major families. Being a Major family researcher I has found records where family members searched back to the US Archives in 1900 to solve the mystery of John Major of Newberry and Abbeville Co., SC. However with better mobility and access to records the current SC Genealogy records on this John Major marrying Martha Elizabeth Epps were refuted years ago. One way you do it as there is an Eppes Society in Virginia which has every record conceivable well documented on the Epps Family. Not until 1834 did a Major family member marry an Eppes. SC Major researchers keep saying Martha Elizabeth Epps is the daughter of Richard Epps. Just read the records as to who his daughters married. Also chase down some of the John Major men in Virginia and see where they are and where they went, it is fairly easy with more records accessibility than ever before. However people keep going back to old family histories and using them over and over again never taking the trouble to find out if they are correct. Some people never even get out of SC in their record search. Some people never try to correlate all the various family connections that one family has with other families. Doing this gives you a clue many many time what may not be right or may be wrong. This gives you a hint to dig into real records that have some meat in them such as official records of Counties and states. When I was growing up in the Pendleton area of Anderson Co., SC, there was a person in upper SC who used to write stories of the old times. They were fun to read and to let your imagination run wild but they were not factual. Some of the stories are still available. That is what you find when you read a lot of the old SC family histories. Those who go to SC Genealogy meeting and learn how to do research find the fruits of their work often rewarded with actual records that are often surprising. When you just live in old verbal family history you have just what happened to Moses Hendricks m Susan (Glen?) of Pickens, SC and my John Major of Newberry and Abbeville Co., SC. God Bless.

Thanks, I looked at the Leonardo Andrea files in The South Carolinia Library. I also corresponded with his sister when I started in the late 1970s. I learned quickly to take everything with a grain of salt. My comment was based on research by the Hendricks Family Organization and my own research in Virginia on the Major where I have lived for the past 41 years. I am a native of Old Pendleton District. Leonardo Andrea passed on to Mary Lee Robbins (my Hendricks descendant) my grandmother Hendricks family records without much if any credit. That was about all he got right on the Hendricks. If you search Hendricks another good file in the South Carolinia Libray is one by Emme Odell Bannister a Hendricks descendant from Anderson, SC. HerbHendricks [email protected]

I would like to agree with Herbert. Although the Andrea files are a wonderful tool, they must be used as a starting point for research. Please do not accept what they say without further research. I am very grateful to Mr. Andrea for doing some research on the Hall family. But much of it contains conclusions based on very little. Much of it is what he was sent by others, and much of this is incorrect. The records are very worthwhile reading as long as we know that we must prove our line. Which is the way it should be anyway. As long as we prove each step as we go, we will do just fine. Some of the Hall information has been proven wrong, some has been proven doubtful, but this information is still circulated on the internet as facts. The Leonardo Andrea records have been microfilmed and are available in some genealogy libraries. They are available on microfilm in Clayton Library in Houston. I have also seen sites on the internet that list every name he has information on. If interested one can do a Google search and find them easily. This will only be an index.

Dear All, I would add a caution to using the Leonardo Files for the Hendricks and Major families of SC. There are numerous conclusions that are not valid as not much research was done on these lines out of SC. Leonardo Andrea's work for Mary Lee Robbins of Longview, Texas is a good example of drawing conclusions without researching Virginia Data. This data is readily available to day to conclude the lines of the Major family back into Virgina are incorrect. A good source for Hendricks Families is Frontier Hendricks I & II, the Pamunkey Hendrick and the Albermarle Hendricks by Dr. John Scott Davenport. HerbHendricks [email protected]

If you have not used the Genealogy files of Leonardo Andreas you certainly might be missing a great resource for learning about your family specialy if you live way off and cannot access the SC Archives etc. These are available only in the largest best libraries and in the Family History Centers of Mormon churches i. e. Church of Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, look up in your local phone book. The only ones I know of on line are the MILLERs if you know of others on line please post them for others's benefit. So I can tell you where to go look at the MILLER section of files and you can see what has been done already and that you should go access these files in your search for whatever surname you are looking for in SC. See the rundown below to learn what is available for MILLERs and apply that to your situation; The Andrea Files originate from Leonardo Andrea a professional Genealogist of the 1940 era. After his death it has been said that his daughter donated his files to be used by people all over the world searching for their ancestors. We are indebted to her for her generousity. Andrea took these files from the records of the local court houses in various counties of SC, GA and elsewhere. His methodology seems to be to copy all the records on MILLER when he was in a county searching for a particular individual so that he would have the information available whenever he needed it the next time. Anyone who had MILLER relatives in SC or went through SC on their way westward will find these documents helpful. MILLER is just one of the many surname files that you can find in your local library by Andrea. If your ancestors were South Carolinians go see the Andrea Files. He copied wills, deeds, grants and court docs that he thought might help identify the MILLER individual and all members of his family as well. He spared no peripheral identities to document spouses and their parents when he could find them. As all human beings Andrea could have made a mistake or two so we suggest that you make your own conclusions from the data available here rather than accept in whole the conclusions drawn by Andrea. We are indebted to Debra MILLER Haston for the extensive time spent retyping these files into readable/searchable text. Although the text is searchable for the first name you are looking for we suggest you read all the material for a given location rather than concentrate solely on the name you are seeking. The files are in 6 Sections as follows: Section [1] is a summary of all the files and functions somewhat like an index. Section [2] covers the MILLERs in Lancaster, Clarenden, Kershaw and Richland Counties of SC. Section [3] covers Fairfield, Chester, York, Union counties and portions of old Camden District. Section [4] covers old 96 District and the counties of Union, Laurens, Anderson, Oconee, Picklens, Greenwood, Spartanburg, Newberry, Edgefield, Saluda, Abbeville, and McCormick as well as portions of old Pendleton and Old Edgefield Districts. Section [5] is a short compilation of the Switzerland MILLERs entering the country at PA, NY, VA, and other ports then some of whom migrated on to SC and other places. Section [6] covers the Georgia MILLERs but only a few counties that overlap the SC MILLER files he worked on. WE suspect that there are other MILLER files in other counties that are missing [but these are all that are known to us]. Andrea had a particular interest in the MILLERs as he had bit of MILLER blood too. To view the MILLER sections go to; http://www.geocities.com/webbercreek/ Charles C.

Hello do you know if Martha is related to the famous Pat Garrett (Billy the kid fame)? I'm also researching the area and I have found that many families migrated together around 1830's some to GA and then decendents or families to Chambers County,AL. I have a copy of a book called Heritage of Chambers County,AL book by Heritage Publishing. You can go to your local library and see if they can order you a copy to look at through their inner library loan dept. Usually a free service. Great resources and families names and addresses of those who wrote the article are in there for contact. I have found many decendents from SC, GA area in this book for other families. I wish you good luck.
