    1. Re: [SC-OPD] Re: STEWARTS (Stewards/Stuarts)
    2. Hi, Lee and Billie, I do not have anything in my Stewart file that shows Garrett connections, but I know that there was a Dickeson Garrett in that part of Old Pendleton District in that part that is now Anderson Co., SC showing Males 2-0-0-1-0 Females 1-1-0-1-0-00 at No. 941 on the list and in the section that is now Oconee Co., in Wm. Stewart analysis of the 1800 Old Pendleton District Census there is a note that says: 'When John Stewart from Rockingham Co., NC leased his farm in Pendleton in 1814 to Daniel Garrett, adjoining landholders were Wm. and Stephen Clayton, Jr. and Wm. Heath, all from Stokes Co., NC families. This statement follows the listing for a Warren Clayton, household # 167 on page 22 of the census. I think that I may have told you previously, that there is a Garrett or Stewart household in Tippah Co., MS....northern part, I believe, and for the year 1860, if I recall correctly. Whichever the household is Garrett or Stewart, it has members in the household by the other name. The Stewarts are not mine. Will print your inquiry and put it in my "Other Stewarts" file, in the event we get a break through. Cheers, Cordelia

    1. [SC-OPD] Re: SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-D Digest V00 #226
    2. Coredelia, Thanks so much for posting your Stewart information. My connection is Rachel Stewart Hamilton Edens. She is my 4th great grandmother. She was married first to Jacob Hamilton and then to Jacob Edens. I am descended from James Edens, the son of Jacob and Rachel. As to who her parents or siblings, I am searching. As the children of Jacob Edens and Rachel Stewart were born in South Carolina, and other researchers have said that it was Pendleton District (my ancestor, James Edens, was born in 1796), I assume that Rachel's family must have lived there in the 1790's. Any clue will be greatly appreciated. Sherry Lowery

    3. The Mobile Public Library in Mobile, AL, has the Augusta Chronicle on microfilm and there is also two or more index books to that very early newspaper. A visit to the coast might be in order! <G> Seriously, I assume other major libraries that feature a genealogical section would have this as well. Good Hunting! Charlotte *in* Alabama

    1. [SC-OPD] Eliza Robinson nee Blassingame photo
    2. Eliza Blassingame, daughter of Gen. John Blassingame, married Dr. John Robinson in Greenville in 1818. They lived in Pickensville and Pendleton, and she went to Anderson after Dr. John's death. Descendants have seen a photo of Eliza (John Wallace, a 'photographic artist' was living at her boarding house in Anderson in 1860), but I can't find a copy of photo. Does anyone on this list have a copy? I think photos might have been given to her sibs, Esther Blassingame Benson, Mary Blassingame Cleveland, Caroline Blassingame Wickliff/Wyckliffe, Ann Blassingame Sloan or ??? My 'ancestor wall' is not complete without this photo. so any leads would be appreciated! Lila Niemann Garner

    1. [SC-OPD] New reprint of "Horse Shoe Robinson"
    2. John Robertson
    3. For those who may be interested, there is a new reprint of "Horse Shoe Robinson", John Pendleton Kennedy, 1835. It is available from Amazon.com. Price $100. This is a reprint of the 1937 version. It is full text, but has some minor modernizations (spelling, punctuation, etc.). I do not particularly recommend its purchase. Just thought some would be interested. It is still possible to pick up used copies if you are patient enough. Around 1819, Kennedy heard my ancestor, James "Horse Shoe" Robertson tell his RevWar tales over a period of several hours. Kennedy was not a professional writer, but a lawyer, Sec. of Navy, etc. The book was notable in that it was well-written (for the time), but that it was the first such epic to be written with Americans as heroes, and written from that viewpoint. It is not history, although it has often been confused as such in SC (there are some SC DAR members in whose company I would not utter such a thought!). It is historical fiction. It gives some great descriptions of what the forests and streams were like before we 'civilized' them. I believe the real Horse Shoe to have been a story-teller, and that he did not tell these stories with himself as the hero (although that was likely true for a few of them). It is historical fact that he was captured at Charleston, was a POW on Sullivan's Island, and escaped after only a month and made his way back from Charleston through British-controlled territory to his home in the SC 'backcountry' on Thicketty Creek, near Grindal Shoals, about 12 mi. s. of Gaffney. Getting back must have been a story in itself. That is a hard 4+ hour drive today at interstate speeds. The RevWar fought there differed from that fought anywhere else. It was an intense, widespread, bitter and very violent civil war. (The recently released "Patriot" movies takes that as its theme). He served the last two years primarily in the Thomas Brandon regiment of SC militia who was typically in the thick of things (and this is where all the stories came from). During this period he also served 42 days (a 6-wk enlistment) in the Vardry McBee's company, a company very local to the area of his home, described as "minutemen". I do not recall any stories being based on his prior 4 years served in the Continental Line. His step-father after the age of 12 was 'Captain' James Terrell (called so the rest of his life for his militia service) of Spartanburg/Union district. HS remained in the area until around 1790, when he moved to Pendleton District (now Oconee County). The 1825 Mills Atlas (1820) shows the location of his home (close to the time when Kennedy met him). In 1822, HS moved to Tuscaloosa Co. AL, where he died in 1838. When portions of the book were read to him a year or two before he died, he diplomatically said that the stories were "true in their rightful place and time" but that the author had "mightily furnished them up". He disavowed any knowledge of the women Kennedy incorporated into the story. The old man became a media-hero of the time/area since the book went thru 6 printings (and was reprinted later) despite its enormous price of $0.75 for the two big volumes. The spelling of the surname is up for grabs. His father went by Robertson. His grandfather, Israel is given as Robinson, Roberson, Robertson (and I think I recall Robyson and Robison, also!). I usually just use Rob*son, and let others fill in what they wish. There is a house still standing about 3 miles w. of Westminster SC on Horseshoe Bridge Road that is reputed to be that of HS, with a huge burdock tree reputed to have been planted by him. The solid-hewn-log structure is now covered with clapboard, with tv antenna and modern bathroom added and in use as a rental house. Replete with Rebel Flag on the back porch! However, the 1820 map shows the house on the other side of the road and closer to the river bend. So there you have it, our own ROB*SON 'Patriot'! John Robertson
