Hello members, I have a Pendleton deed that was witnessed by Dempsey Kemp in 1799. Kemp was supposedly only 17 yrs. old at the time. What was the legal age for witnessing deeds in Pendleton in 1799? This is important because it would tell me if Dempsy Kemp's date of birth is probably correct or not. Thanks, Ann Researching KEMP/KAMP/CAMP, DEMPSEY, CLEMENTS/CLEMONS in Pendleton District.

Thanks George for the reply. Ann In a message dated 6/20/00 5:02:16 AM, you wrote: <<Ann Coneross Creek crosses the old US 123 in Richland, Oconee Co, SC.

The John Harris family owned some land which is now underwater at Lake Hartwell at the SC State Park ramp. This is the Rev. John Harris family. Had 3 John Harris's, The Rev. , the MD and Probate Judge, and John III. The remaining land is now an island on which the Harris Family cemetery remains.

Hello members, I am new to the list. Jonathan KEMP sold land on CONEROSS CREEK on Aug. 14, 1799 to John HARRIS. Can someone tell me where CONEROSS CREEK is located? Thanks much, Ann KEMP/KAMP/CAMP, DEMPSEY, CLEMENTS/CLEMONS in Pendleton District.

Ann: I don't have an exact location, but I know that it used to run by my in-laws place before Lake Hartwell was built. Their place is in the Friendship area below Seneca. If you look on a map of the area, the area around Richardson Point, that is where it used to be. If you go to http://www.expediamaps.com and type in Coneross Creek, it should take you to the head waters if they still exist.

Lois, I was interested in your posting of NATHANIEL REID/REED (1745-1798). I'm curious about an 1829 Deed (Pickens Dist DB A-1, p 292), CHARLES F. LAY to NANCY REID and her children SUSANNAH, ELIZABETH, SARAH, POLLY & NANCY. This was for 130 acres on "Tomasso" Creek, waters of Little River adj. old Indian Boundary. I'm working on the LAY family. There were TWO men named Charles F. Lay in the same place and time period, and I'm hoping for clues in land records to help me sort them out. If you can identify Nancy Reid and her children, or if you have anything on the Lay family, I'd be interested. Thanks. Alice Hills

For any who may not be aware of it, there is a great map of Pendleton District made in 1820. This can be found here: http://scroots.org/1825pendleton3.html It is very large so will take a while to load. I was lucky enough to find my ancestor's name on the map. If you page down about 1-1/2 pages, you will see "Horse Shoe Robertson's". James "Horse Shoe Robertson" still lived in Pendleton District when this map was made. In 1822, he moved to Tuscaloosa Co. AL. His stories, which he apparently loved to tell, were the basis for the historical novel "Horse Shoe Robinson", well known to history buffs in the area (for one thing, it has caused them lots of confusion!). For those familiar with the area, it may well be relevant that HS's house is shown N of the road rather than S of the road as would be the case for the house still standing (about 3 mi w. of Westminster SC on Horseshoe Bridge Road) that is said to be HS's old house. About 2 miles upriver from Horse Shoe, you will find Shead's Mill. This is almost certainly the property of Wm. Shed, Horse Shoe's brother-in-law. Wm. remained in Oconee until after his wife's death and moved to TN as an old man to live with his son. You need bear in mind that the top of this map is NW rather than N. Since there was only a single "town" and virtually no communities as we know them today, most of the locations are name of the people who lived there. There are a number of mills shown and one "rifle gun factory". You need bear in mind that almost every place a road crossed a stream that it was a ford (or ferry) and not a bridge. I was puzzled that it did not show a location for Col. Benjamin Cleveland who I thought lived there. There is a Cleveland Shoals on the Georgia line. It is part of the 1825 Mills Atlas found on Steven Coker's excellent SCRoots.org page. The maps page is: http://scroots.org/places.html
