What a great idea! The main waterways are Broadmouth Creek and the Saluda River. Honea Path was built on the high ridge which lies between the two (also running through Pelzer and the former nineteenth-century communities of Stantonville and Calhoun), which made the ridge an ideal bed for the Columbia and Greenville Railroad. William Honea's home place was on Big Creek, a little further north than Honea Path, but he also had land on Little Beaverdam, and, perhaps, in Greenville Dist. There appears in the record both a William Sr. and Jr., which I have not been able to sort out. Also related are Tobias, Thomas, and Abner Honea.

There was a James Cobb Sr., Thomas Cobb, And Delpha Cobb in Edgefield County in 1790. Don't know if this helps any of you.

Let me make a correction to my earlier post about the William A. Honea family. I just found this family listed in the survey of East View Cemetery in Westminster, Oconee Co., SC. Carrie is listed on her tombstone as Lucinda Craig Honea, and her correct date of death is Aug. 25, 1919. She was born Jan. 17, 1864. William A. Honea was born Mar. 9, 1861, and died Mar. 7, 1920. I hope this helps someone. Bunnie Gilmer

Hi - this is a long shot. SC and NC and VA were originally almost one area. Then SC and NC had ties - have you looked in these other states? I have about the same problem with William Gambrel, b ca 1770. He has lots of land dealings in NC. I don't know if this William in NC was perhaps the father of the William born c1770. William 1770 was in the SC Pendleton census for 1800. He had married Winnifred Elkins of NC, and they and their children moved to Kentucky c 1802. I can't find any birth records for William 1770. - Muriel -----Original Message---- From: Billie H.

My great uncle was Robert Benson Honea, b. 1886. He was the son of William A. Honea and Carrie Craig Honea. These folks lived in Westminster, Oconee Co., SC. Carrie Honea died there Sept. 1, 1919, but William A. was still living at the time. R.B. Honea died in Westminster in 1973. I don't have any information on the ancestors of William, but I do have his children, as listed in the obituary of Carrie Honea. Bunnie Gilmer

Hey, Donna: I am new to the List and I had no idea you were putting all this up from the State of Texas. I subscribe, or have subcribed, to lists in CA, MO, TN, GA, NC and a pile of lists in SC.

Hi John, Yes, sir, we connect. The parents of Earnest S Spearman were Jesse S. Spearman and Martha Jane Satterfield. The parents of Jesse S Spearman were Edward D Spearman and Elizabeth McDaniel. The parents of Edward D Spearman were Davis D Spearman and Elizabeth Christina Slaton. And this is where we connect. Edward D Spearman was born 1835 in Brushy Creek, Anderson County, SC, and was a younger brother of my great great grandmother Mary Jane Spearman. The parents of David D Spearman were David Samuel Spearman and Nancy Clardy. The parents of Elizabeth Christina Slaton were William Slaton and Sarah Honea. The parents of David Samuel Spearman were Edmund Spearman and Dinah Oldham. Edmund Spearman was born 1773/1774 in Virginia. The father of Edmund Spearman was Thomas Job Spearman, Jr. His mother is unknown. The parents of Thomas Job Spearman Jr. were Thomas Job Spearman and Elizabeth Martin. The parents of Thomas Job Spearman Sr. were John Spearman and Susannah (? Cattlet) The first mention of John Spearman was in "Old Rappahannock County, Virginia. Which is another list I used to host.......... (I been all over these lists.) Another list I started and left in good hands was the Spearman mail list. You will find a fine group of cousins there. You will be busy with this for a few days. If you will subscribe to the Spearman list, just about everybody there will be your cousin. Good luck with your research, donna Your TX Cuz

Maybe John Rodgers was her father and if so then who was her mother? OPD folks did not gossip and they kept their family stuff private but if someone can help me with Hamilton and Rodgers, I would appreciate it. >> Just a suggestion, one alien descendant to another: Have you checked Abbeville/Upper Long Canes settlement and Andrew Hamilton's family? Born in 1741, he came to upper SC from Augusta Co., VA (along with many other Augusta migrants) ca. 1865 and lived there until 1835. "Reid" is a well-known name from Augusta/Rockbridge Cos., as is Hamilton. I would look, then, in the surrounding counties (Abbeville & Greenwood) for Hamilton family data.
