I have received so many request for information from the book History of Old Pendleton District, by R. W. Simpson that I thought I would post the families that are in the book and everyone would know. Mr. Simpson put very few dates in the book, and it seems that the people he wrote about he was acquainted with. Although there are not many dates, it would give some good leads to people searching the following families, and I will be glad to send all information about their family to anyone who asks. Joseph D. Scott The Dickson Family Jacob Bellotte Josiah E. Smith John L. North Benjamine Savage Smith Burt Family Bee Family Stevens Family Lorton Family Rev. Potter (not much) J. Tyler Whitfield William Hubbard Anderson Burns John Pike Robinson Family Continued next e-mail

I don't find any of them. There is not much in the OPD book. I did find the following in the book "First Settlers of SC 1670 to 1700. I though I would go ahead and post it and maybe someone will tie in. John Chambers, Servant, Carpenter, arrived in August 1671 on Blessing as a servant of John Coming. William Chambers, Sea Cap[tain, Arrived before May 1681 Chambers, William Servant, Planter, arrived in the First Fleet on Carolina from England as a servant of Joseph Dalton. By 1680 he was a planter.

Karen, No connection that I know of, but I really don't have much info back that far. Jean

Not an expert on this subject, but I believe Orr's Rifles was officially known as 1st SC (Orr's) Regiment of Rifles. It consisted of 2 or 3 companies from Pickens District, 3 or so from Anderson District, 1 from Abbeville and maybe one from Marion District. Each company had about 100 men and the regiment had 10 companies, or about 1,000 total. It was organized by James Lawrence Orr of Anderson, a politician. He was elected Colonel of the regiment, but resigned soon afterward in order to serve in the Confederate senate. His replacement was Abbeville attorney, J.Foster Marshall, who had experience having served in the Mexican War. Marshall was killed at Second Manassas. The uniforms were indeed grand, especially at the beginning. They spent their first winter at Sullivan's Island and were teased by other regiments for their parades and entertaining the ladies. Many of them went into Charleston and had their pictures made by the ambrotype process. I have a photo thus made of a 2-great uncle. Their hat was turned up on the left side (although the ambrotype reverses the image). The statue in front of the Anderson Courthouse depicts a soldier of Orr's Regiment. Orr's Rifles became one of the most famous in Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, and its survivors were at Appomattox.

I find reference to an Isham Hester in Laurens County in 1817, but can't make out much of it. It is where Golsby's , Freeman, and Hopper? of Georgia is selling land to a James Cheek a.b. on Ishum, Hester. I find an Elizabeth Hese in Pee Dee in 1756. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I seriously doubt that Central had a city directory. I will look the next time I am at the library. Sonia

The book Threads of Ancestors is a 1956 copyright and cannot be purchased anywhere that I have looked. We have it at our library here in Greenville, SC. I am trying to connect my Richeys to those in Abbeville County, SC which are in the book. My Richeys were in an area out from Pendleton called Six and Twenty Community. IT used to be Rt. 1, Pendleton. James Samuel Richey +Isabell Timms Samuel Robert Richey +Emma Jane McAlister Leila Elizabeth Richey +Reuben Bruce Stegall ( my grandparents) CAn you connect with these? I also have a lot of information from someone in GA but cannot connect with them either. Will share what I have. Sonia
