I'm new to this list and looking for a Mary Shockley who may have been born or lived in Old Pendleton about 1793. She may be Indian. May have had a son James there about 1824. Apparently they migrated to IL by 1834, then IA, then MO by 1850. Barbara

I'm looking for everyone who may related to the Riddles of Pickens, SC I'm the granddaughter of Fred RiddleJr., lives on shadey grove Rd. I would like to trace this as far back as possible Thanks for any help I can get.

For more on Pendleton's Clement family, see http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Trails/7497/fam00528.htm I'd appreciate it if anyone can add to what I've compiled here. I'm particualrly interested in deeds for Isaac Clement (1777-1860) and William K. Clement (1811-1883) who lived in the area of Big Creek and Shady Grove churches.

Thanks to CTUCKER for replying to my query about legal age. To Lee and Billie: Thanks for your info, but I haven't done much with the Clements line. I don't have any info on Issac or Rachael Clement, but I have added these names to my data. If I find anything about them I will post to the list. Sorry that I can't be of more help on this. Ann

I am searching for any information on the descendants & migration path of Robert CRENSHAW, son of Abraham CRENSHAW who died in Pendleton District in 1807. Robert was to live with his mother Nancy HESTER but she remarried before 1813 to William HARPER. What happened to Robert? Did he have an IL sojourn. Was he the same R. CRENSHAW living among HUNT & HESTER families in 1830 Autauga Co, AL? Carol Shrader Virginia Beach, VA

Hi Folks, For those of you who have been around awhile I know you've had your share of list discussions about copyright. So this message isn't intended to begin a conversation with the whole list about copyright. It is intended for all the new comers who have recently joined our group. Some of you have probably seen a lot discussions which seem to conflict when the subject of copyright comes up. There is an awful lot of problems with understanding what the law really says and means (which are sometimes two different things). However, there is a web site which has admirably put together a good commentary on the subject and that's the purpose for this email. Brad Templeton has, in my humble opinion, put together some good old fashioned common sense combined with a unique ability to clarify a complicated subject. So if you're a new comer or an experienced writer I think you'll enjoy his articles. Be sure to check out his article on "10 Big Myths about copyright explained" Its worth every minute you might spend reading it. Here's the address: http://www.megawebtools.com/copyrt.htm Enjoy, donna list admin
