Please include me in the discussion of the Regulators. My ancester, Captain Messer, was one of the six hung at Hillsborough, after the Battle of Alamance in May of 1771. How were the Regulators of NC and SC connected? >From my research, I have read that one of the major leaders, at least in NC, was a Herman Husbands. Has anyone been able to find a history on this man...where he came from...family, etc? The story I have found was that when the six Regulators were captured by Tryon, Messer was sent to find Husbands, he being the one most thought who could get close to Husbands and persuade him to surrender for the others sake. Messer's family was held hostage to force his return. Husbands refused to surrender. Messer returned and he and the other five were hung, maybe drawn and quartered. This had to be the same movement in SC, too. Was Husbands involved in SC, too? Does anyone know what happened to him? Thanks for bringing this subject up and supplying the web sites for more information. Donna Lonon

Janice, I find the best source on the Regulators is the book "The South Carolina Regulators" by Richard Maxwell Brown. 1963. He later did another one, I understand. He says the Regulators are responsible for the passage of the Circuit Court Act of 1769 which established courts in the "back county". Cambridge, at Ninety Six, became the court house for the 6 counties (to start with) that were in the 96 Dist. Other districts in SC got their own court houses. Each district took care of several counties, so we started out small until 1785 when our county court system began & locals could record deeds and wills in their own court house within their own county. The surviving records of Cambridge Ct. House were transferred to Abbeville, thus the name of the book "Abstracts of Old Ninety-Six and Abbeville District Wills and Bonds" by Pauline Young. The pardon is dated 31 Oct. 1771 in which several Kirklands are named. Personally, being from the "back country", I give them a vote of thanks as most of my ancestors were poor and could not make trips to Charleston for court battles, nor to record their records, which was required. However, some of the Regulators took a little too much on, as they were working outside our laws to start with, but these laws were not working for the back-country people In other words, we were ignored until the Regulators did something about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2004 9:30 AM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Regulator Pardon of 1771 > Margie, thanks for showing us this great old document.

If I remember my South Carolina History correctly, the Regulators were a vigilante group of settlers in the up county, that took upon themselves the authority to police the territory and control activities of the Licensed Indian Traders and the Native Americans. The Crown didn't provide a lot of protection to the frontier settlements. Deborah Byrd PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

I have found a couple of sites that help explain this "uprising".

Here are a couple of sources on the Regulators. From: "North Carolina Research, Genealogy and Local History", by Helen F.M. Leary and Maurice R. Stirewalt "As a rule, regulation movements (that is, private citizens banding together to regulate fellows of lawless disposition, disorderly lives, and evil conversation) occur on frontiers. On the Pacific frontier of the 1850s such bands of private citizens were called Vigilantes; on the South Carolina frontier of the 1760s they were called Regulators." From: "The Pendleton Legacy, an illustrated history of the district", by Beth Ann Klosky "During this period the frontier was plagued by cattle thieves, aided and abetted by Indian stragglers remaining in the area. The back country's only legal authority was a justice of the peace. There was no court nearer than Charleston; thus cattle thieves could not be brought to trial even when they were caught. When the situation became intolerable the settlers took action on their own. By written agreement they formed a committee similar to the Vigilantes of the West, calling themselves Regulators as opposed to a group known as Scovils, who claimed the right as British subjects to trial in court. When the state was divided into Judicial districts in 1769 and court was established in Ninety Six, the dispute was settled temporarily, but upon the outbreak of the Revolutionary War the Regulators became Whigs and the Scovillites became Tories." I hope this helps. Bunnie Gilmer Bonnie S. "Bunnie" Gilmer [email protected] BSG Genealogical Research http://www.kendawg.net/genealogy/

Margie, thanks for showing us this great old document. I hope someone can explain it with certainty by I think one avenue of research could be that the doc addresses a group of "Regulators". Was that a position appointed by the King...or one they gave themselves for purpose of self-government? Also, there is the sections that states..."....did thereupon desist from the illegal practices...peace & tranquility...restored...in the back settlements of our said province."..... Looks like it was something that took place in outback of SC, and not overseas. Looking forward to other explanations, Janice

I have a copy of a "Regulator Pardon" by King George the Third in 1771 giving his pardon to various SC people for committing acts of violence before the sixth day of August 1768. Can anyone tell me about the circumstances surrounding this pardon? Was this an uprising that happened in SC or is this a pardon of acts committed in Britain, France or Ireland before these people came to America? The website to read this pardon is: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sc/regulatr.txt

Sandel, Here is the only info I could find on the Charleston Library...seems I didn't keep any E-mails from them, but I'm sure you can find it on their website: Main Library: 68 Calhoun St. Charleston, SC 29401 ph. 843-805-6801 website: www.ccpl.org Try doing a google search for SC/state and when you get to their site just keep clicking on things until you get their state archives. They are in Columbia, SC. I am sure that one of these locations can help you. Regards, Janice

Thank you so much. My Asa was b: Pendleton Dist between 1794-1802 (m: Clarinda (unk)....son: Hiram Reeves).....I can't get past Acy, (Asa, Ansel, etc.) no matter how long I work at it.

Hello, I'm also researching the same area for my gr gr gr grandfather Nicholas Briskey/Brisky and his wife Elizabeth Mark/Merk. Around 1789. Anyway in my researching I found that many of the families seemed to migrate together around 1830's land grants and land lotterys became available. Many moved to GA and then onto Chambers County,AL and arounding areas. I have a book called the Heritage of Chambers County,AL by Heritage Publishing. You maybe able to obtain a copy to look at through your local library inner library loan dept. It's usually free. In the Index lists several pages of hawkins,Kelly, I don't see Looper. I have found many decendents for other families through this book. And names and addresses of decendents who submitted the materials are their for contact. Great book. And also, a good book to get is "Reason for the Tears" By Bobby Lindsey chuck full of valuable info on early settlers of the area. And also 1832 Gold Lottery Book through inner library loan. Countless names (In alphabetical order) and lots of info on the lottery land grants. I know how the famous brick walls are. Good luck Sandel [email protected] Seattle Surnames; Briskey,Brisky,brisque,demastus,sutton,meadows,hodnett,moore,mcintosh,leverett (States SC, GA, Chambers County,AL, washington State, TX and france)

I am looking for Hawkins', Kelly's and Looper's living near each other. I specifically am at a brick wall on my Kelly and Hawkins lines. I have: Samuel S. Kelly b. 1826 SC, m. Eliza A. Hawkins, (b. 1826 SC) 1850 Benton (Calhoun) Co., AL. Trying to find their parents and hoping siblings married siblings to help me on the trail. One of them may have been part Native American. I am inclined to think the Hawkins side. Their daughter married Jeremiah Washington "Jerry" Looper and I have that information from that point, but not beyond 1850. Any help appreciated. Thanks. Beverley

You know we found old records at the lafayette Court house in Lafayette AL that we're of my gr gr gr grandfather's estate papers on the plantation. And they'd been stored in boxes in an old store room, and they get so damp. I think it's really a shame because they do get eligeable. That comes with the territory unforunately. But I know how you feel. We paid $1.00 a sheet and there we're like 60 pages. I think LDS church was going into film them also. But they should get all those records turned over to historical societies for preservation before it's all lost. Always thought that was such a waste. Sandel [email protected] Seattle

I request the Hertiage of Chambers County from my local library, I have not gotten it yet. If it is not too much trouble, would you look and see what Chambers are in this book? Thank you Elaine [email protected]

Thanks Janice, I appreciate the help. Sandel

Yes there are in the Heritage Book of Chambers County, By Heritage Publishing Co. 1999. You can possibly obtain a copy to look at through your local library inner library loan dept. Great place to get things out of print. Sandel [email protected] Seattle
