Barb, Back again.I just happened too look back on another E Mail from you and Spotted the ..Gossett.Name.I am not sure if the Site is Still Active or not but there WAS a GOSSETT page that was up,and if my Memory is correct,the Page Reffered too a SMITH Family that was associated with them as one of the Smiths Photo was on it. The Smith Photo had something too do with Wade Hamptons Connect or one of His Brothers. These Smiths were also somewhere tied too our Smiths out of Anderson County,SC.,alomg the Little Saluda River.My Smiths were related too the Martin fAMILY CONNECTS. RICHARD

My family is referenced in various census reports as:RIVES/RYVES/REAVES/REEVES/REID/REEVE, etc......What's your relative's name and age (spouse too if you have it) and I'll see if we can connect somewhere in the past. Sure hope so. I've been blocked from ASA back for more than a year.

Is your Elizabeth WILLIAMS a descendant of Hezekiah or Charles WILLIAMS. The parents, Hezekiah and Sarah ABBOTT WILLIAMS, of these brothers were from NJ and some of the descendants migrated to SC GA and TN. On Nov 7, 2005, at 5:32 AM, Debbie Spencer wrote: > .

Hi Ellen - I have some ancestors that are from that area, and I'm full of things that I get in the mail, but I always find the small local types like yourself the absolute most valuable in research aids. I have ancestors that I'll probably never find that are from that area, such as the following surnames: GASSAWAY WILLIAMS WATKINS GODFREY I'm not sure of a solid starting point for finding additional information outside of combing ancestry.com, usgenweb's county site (sadly enough I haven't had any luck on that site), etc. NC Archives has a book on the Gassaway family from your area that you cover, but the book is full of incorrect information. My Isaac 'Ira' Gassaway married Elizabeth Williams, both of that area and settled in Grassy Creek, Polk Co TN (in the Copper Basin, cousin to Fannin Co GA.) I suppose the copper mines drew them up there. I'm interested in being a member if it's something that will produce results. As you might imagine, I could spend thousands a year in subscriptions for my clients and myself! I belong to over 15 currently, and find them all wonderful, but that's because I chose to limit myself to that number. What do you suggest?

Perhaps this issue names some of the other surviving Rev. War soldiers. Is anyone on the list able to get a copy of the 15 July 1829 issue?

Beverly, Thanks for asking this question. I had said I did not have the time right now to get in on the Copelands due to family matters, but perhaps I can explain this, since it is my DAR papers from the 1950s that has everyone so confused and I feel guilty. Capt. William Copeland DID NOT have wife Sarah Harper. She was the first wife of William, Jr. When she died, Jr. m2 Mary Nichols, my ancestor. These two marriages were in the time frame of both Williams and my mother, who did the work, had a question mark after Sarah Harper marrying the Capt. My grandfather had said the Copelands called the Harpers "cousin", but he did not know how they fit in. We did have two deeds a few years apart, one with wife Sarah and one with wife Mary. The registrar of the DAR filled out the papers and left this question mark off. All I did was sign the papers, as I had nothing to do with the work. My chart has the question mark. I kept wondering where everyone was finding the proof, so when you see this printed in many places, just disregard. I actually saw my papers about 3 years ago and was astounded to see that Sarah Harper was down absolute as the Capt.'s wife. So much more information has now been printed and become available and it is proven that Sarah Harper was indeed the first wife of Wm., Jr. who was born 1791 in OPD, not Chester Co. The William in Chester Co. was an uncle to the Capt. and he had a son Wm., also. These Copelands all landed at the same time and the Capt. is listed as the William, Jr., while the Wm. of Chester is just William. The name was spelled Coapling. Thank goodness the DAR in now much stricter on documented proof. So, to answer your question, no one that I have ever heard of has found the true name of the wife of William, Sr., the Capt.,(who was called Wm., Jr. when landing from Ireland), not even her first name. Perhaps some day it will be found in a record.

Guy - saw you mentioned Hembree - which family was this? Diane -----Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 3:28 PM Subject: [SC-OPD] B. Nelson Several widows, with their children, traveled after the war via wagon train, from Old Pickens District, SC, to Sevier County, TN. Some of the surnames were; Sanders, Lumpkin, Emory/Hembree/Emery, etc. You mentioned Gossett as one of you lines. I have a letter written in the 1880s from H.J. Gossett, a preacher, to Elisabeth Smith Sanders. The letter was mailed and received in East Tennessee. ----- Original Message ----- From: "B Nelson" <distler5@charter.net> To: <SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 2:14 PM Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] William Copeland, Sr. & Jr. > Please tell me where I may see or purchase this publication.
