    1. [SC-OPD] Robert C. Nevitt 1836-1862-Obituary
    2. Susan, Thank you for sharing that with us. Martha From: Susan Johanson <djohanson@mindspring.com> To: SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-L@rootsweb.com Date: Fri, 12 May 2000 07:59:17 -0400 Among the many brave and noble slain in defense of the right and liberty of our Southern homes, few have been more regretted, or deserve more praise than Robert C. Nevitt, of Anderson, SC. The blood-stained field of Seven Pines contains no more gallant form than his, which sleeps on the dark soil far away from home. Whilst pursuing his education at the Military Academy in this village, he ever won the highest regard of his teachers and pupils for his upright character and his genial disposition, being admired for his oratory in the exhibitions which the students frequently gave here. Being too a devoted member of the Baptist Church at this place, his relations and friends looked to him with the hope that he one day would make his mark on the age, and fill a high and noble destiny. But alas! how are all these fair promises and expectations blighted forever! He was among the first to follow his teachers and fellow-students with many of our brave fellow citizens into the ranks as volunteer into service of his country. At the beginning of the war, bravely resolved to do his duty to the last, he joined our village company, the "Palmetto Riflemen" in which he held some office, attached to the Fourth South Carolina Regiment, which was among the first to be sent to the defense of Virginia, and has been ever among the foremost in the battles fought on that historic soil! At Manassas they sustained the first onset of overwhelming numbers, and bravely repulsed the daring foe. There our young friend acted the part of one of the standard bearers of that regiment, and he was one of the first to plant his colors on the far-famed Sherman battery, passing through all those scenes of danger with many narrow escapes unharmed, and received universal praise wherever known for his deeds of cool daring on that occasion. When our troops were called on to volunteer at the beginning of this year, he was the first member of his company to step forward and pledge his life for the war and nobly has he kept that vow so far as God permitted. This and other companies from that regiment now attached themselves to Jenkins' regiment of P.S.S. and since then he with the others have most gloriously sustained their reputations as "heroes in this strife" in that now distinguished regiment. At Williamsburg he did his duty bravely, and at Seven Pines, May 31, 1862 whilst at the close of that brilliant day's triumph, on that desperately contested plain, and among thousands of other gallant dead, among the foremost in making the gallant charge on a battery, 'tis said, fell pierced through the forehead by a ball, and without a groan, with his face to the foe, he fell to rise no more on earth. In the very morning of his manhood, in the hour of our country's need, when his friends were looking forward to his success and safety with such certainty for he looked too strong and well and brave to die as soon, yet a just providence decreed it should be so, and he is gone, forever gone from the scenes of earth. To the great regret of his friends, his body was left on the field where it fell, and at the moment, it could not be secured; and the enemy overunning that portion of the battleground, he with others slept there, among the host of dead and dying foes, but slept as peacefully, no doubt, as if lying 'neath the old popler tree where his mother was laid to rest in the family burying ground. He expressed a wish to rest beside her if he should fall in battle. His relatives have used every exertion to recover his remains, and I believe his body has at last been and may be removed at some future time. They can rejoice in the knowledge of his preparations for that immortality of bliss of knowing that he has joined the loved ones above, and the many noble spirits--his companions in arms, some of his intimate friends, he had offered up too their lives on the altar of the South--where there will be no more sin, or death or war forevermore. August 10, 1862 My Aunt Francis told me that her grandmother Bettie Nevitt Crosby Clarke said that a wagon was sent to Virginia for his body. Robert Nevitt was brought back and buried in the Nevitt Family Burial Grounds in Anderson, SC beside his mother Elizabeth Hutchison Nevitt. Six years later his father William Miles Nevitt, Jr. was buried there under the Poplar tree. Robert Cornelius Nevitt was my ggg-uncle. Susan C.

    1. [SC-OPD] Baskin-Patterson Connection [SC [OPD]
    2. Listers, I offer the Baskin-Patterson connection with JOHN PATTERSON, Sr.'s LWT in the hopes some of you may find it useful. John Patterson, Sr. ws born circa 1730-35 Co. Antrim, Ireland[ imported into VA by Wm. Baskin, Sr., from PA to Augusta Co., VA, where their names appear for land. Ref: Raymond Bell's Baskin Families in PA, VA. and SC (1963). John Patterson, Sr., married Margaret Baskin, Ye Younger, in VA; she the d/o Wm. Baskin, Sr. and his wife Mary Stuart. Ref: Headwaters of Freedom, Baptisms by Rev. Craig at Old Providence Presbyterian Church and Tinkling Springs Church, located near Staunton, VA. The LWT of JOHN PATTERSON, Sr. (1730-35-1808) is recorded and proven in Elbert Co. GA Will Book L/F, 1804-1809, pages 65.66. & 67., Office of the Ordinary, Elbert Co., GA. "In the name of God, Amen: Know all men by these presents that I, John Patterson, Senior, of the State of GA and the Co. of Elbert, being very sick and weak in body but of perfect mind and memory and calling to mind the mortality of my body and knowing that it is appointed for all men once to die, revoking all others do make and ordain this my last will and testament that it is to say Principally and first of all I give and recommend my soul unto the hands of Almighty God who gave it and my body I recommend to the Earth to be buried in decent Christian burial at the discretion of my Executors, and as touching my Worldly Estate wherewith it hath pleased God to bless me, I give and dispose of in the following manner and form.

Also my negro fellow named Dave I give and bequeath to my son Samuel Patterson to him to be possessed as his own right and property.

    1. [SC-OPD] Protect Yourself
    2. Donna
    3. Hi folks, I don't usually do this and I ask please don't send a lot of messages to the list about it. I hope that some of you will find some protection from this virus. So protect yourselves with the information below. donna list admin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Attachments, Viruses and Outlook Express 5 Provided by Jon Back Don’t be totally dependent on your Anti-Virus software. There are simple things you can do to protect yourself. As made perfectly clear by the recent and still dangerous "ILoveYou" virus, when a new threat appears, it takes time before a cure appears. Since many of the recent virus problems are related to getting attachments through your e-mail, here is a quick and easy fix for those of you using Outlook Express. Outlook Express allows you to create "Rules" about what to do with incoming mail files. For example, I recently created a rule that checks my mail before it gets to my computer. If I get mail from anyone, and it has an attachment, Outlook Express doesn't touch it. Instead, it is left on the ITexas mail server until I can verify that it is safe. This goes a long way toward preventing a virus from attacking my computer, because it never arrives. When the rule is in effect (because you can turn it on or off), you will occasionally need to check your e-mail by using Internet Texas WebMail at http://webmail.itexas.net. If you have any mail waiting, you can scan down the list and clearly see the title, the sender and whether there is an attachment. You can now make an informed decision about viewing or deleting the message. Here is how to create the rule: Open Outlook Express. It doesn’t need to be connected to the Internet, but it won’t affect it if it is. When open, click on the Tools menu bar choice, then drop down to the Message Rules bar. On the right, choose Mail… . In the Message Rules menu, you now click on the New button. In box number 1, scroll down the list near the bottom and put a check mark in the box for Where the message has an attachment. In box number 2, scroll down the list and select the choice Do not Download it from the server. Last step is in box number 4. Give the new Rule a name. I would suggest something like: "Leave attachments on Server". Click on OK to save the rule. It will now show in a list with a checkmark. If you ever need to retrieve e-mail that has an attachment, and you already know it is safe, do Step number 1 above, and remove the check mark from the box. You can now retrieve the mail. Replace the check mark when finished to restart your protection.

    3. I only have one James and he was a purchaser at the estate of David Bradley. I have some info on a Dickie family in which a James Vaughn is mentioned. I have a James 1815 mentioned in estate of Ezekiel Roland, and a Craddock Vaughan and daughter Martha of Virginia. Martha is who married a Dickie and I have where a Rev. James C. Vaughn performed the marriage of a Herndon. Nothing else. If any of this ties in with your Vaughan's let me know. Doubtful though.

I have seen some reference to some of the materials you included, but I simply cannot at this point straighten them all out. I did a BLM GLO search for AL for Liddells, plugging in every Christian name I could recall. I found a William in Monroe Co. AL fairly early, which might make census searching somewhat easier. I believe the date was 1820 or thereabouts. I also did the same thing in MS, using every Christian name I could think of. I did find a James in the Choctaw cession (Noxubee Co.) and a later one for James A. Liddell out of Jackson, MS. These of course do not give any genealogy, but might make searching for a will or estate settlement somewhat easier. Would early Pendleton records come under the Washington Judicial District?
