I am searching for information on Michael Kinsler who married Sarah Barnett. I know that Michael was from Germany and have found him in Anderson County, SC in 1850 census. I also found a Sarah Barnett living with her mother (I think) but I cannot read the census. I think it may say Miravela Barnett. The only problem is that this Sarah was 12 years old at the time and Michael as 45 years old. I do not have any other information on this family line and would appreciate any information that anyone can provide. Lori Lindsey

The death of French P. Willard (1845-1869) is mentioned in "Early Anderson County SC Newspapers, marriages and Obituaries 1841-1882" and "A Collection of Upper SC Genealogical and Family Records." Both publications include brief abstracts of the event and the inquest. Apparently the inquest records which are listed as being found in Pack 564, #1 at the Clerk of Court office have long since disappeared. The last time I was there I was told that people frequently ask for that pack but they have not surfaced. French's death involved a barn fire, horse theft, problems with brothers Wallace and Edward Boggs (in spite of two Willard sisters being married to Boggs men), and, ultimately, several shots fired and French dead on the ground! Is anyone fortunate enough to have seen the actual court records? I descend from a younger brother of French, Eubank Moman Willard, who second wife was a Boggs as well. He was involved, or at least present, at the deadly altercation, and to paraphrase, threw a pistol to the ground where it discharged. I have always been curious if this act perhaps initiated the fatal gunfire? My ancestor Eubank must not have been the family favorite, as his father's 1897 will left considerable cash and land to all other children, with Eubank receiving only $1! Would love to know more. Much to share on the family. helen wall, houston, tx

It's possible he could have been born in the Pendleton District. Richard's parents would have been born somewhere else as this area was not open to white settlement that early. I don't have any Holdens. My Whitakers arrived in this area shortly after 1800. I wish I could help in more detail, but my schedule is rather busy right now.

Hi George - I do not know of someone doing OPD research professionally but I certainly would like to exchange info with you. I too am seeking parnts of Holden twins b 1795 whose mother was named Jane . We do not know maiden name or husbands name. Could you tell me more about your Jane? She just eludes us all. The one I am looking for was born approx 1770+ and died at age 90 . Place and burial place unknown. Her Holden and Rackley children have descendants in N.Ga. One of her sons did go to Texas in the early 1800's but I do not know which county. Jane could have been there when she died. Do you have names of other children? Are you related to the George Holden whose photo appears on the Holden page in Ancestry's My Family page? That particular George looks so much like my Grandfather that it is almost eerie. Thank you for your help.

Dianne, here is one for OPD, but I think there are several other good OPD sites. Someone on this list should have those, and I hope they will post them.

George, A good friend and author Bill Whitten is writing a book on the Holdens in Pendleton Dist. SC. He has already written on several families in this area. He has books on Corbins and Nicholsons I know. He probably has info that you need on your Holdens and I have a few on my website below. His name and address is: William C.

Sonia, I am interested in any children listed for Mary A. Burris (c1820-?) and William Nevitt Fant of Anderson Dist. SC. They were married 10-8-1840 in Anderson Dist. SC. Also, I have a Annie Burris (c1848-1872) who married John H. Clarke of Anderson on 10-8-1867. Does the book say who her parents were? Also were there any other Clarke/Burris marriages?
