Hi Cynthia, The following is taken from Pendleton Dist SC Deeds 1790-1806: On Jun 4 1791, a David Caldwell witnessed a deed from John and Eleanor Warnock to Joseph Moss. Recorded 1792 in OPD. On Jun 25 1792, a David Caldwell witnessed and made oath concerning a deed from James Anderson to John Woodall. On Mar 2 1793, a David Caldwell witnessed a deed from Andrew Perkins to John P. Caldwell "for love and good will for John P. Caldwell ... horses, cattle, tools, furniture on condition that Andrew Perkins have use of same as long as he shall live." David Caldwell made oath to Justice of the Peace Jan 2 1796. Same as above except that grantor is listed as William Drennan and grantee named John Perkins Caldwell. An 1803 deed from Joseph Land to Charles Willson is described as bounded by James Willson, David Caldwell, Wm. Drennan and William Lesley. James Caldwell of Abbeville Dist for $100 sold to James Gilliland of Pendleton Dist 177 acres of both sides of Rocky River bounded by David Caldwell, John Still, Thomas and Joseph Drinnan, Charles Wilson. Witnesses: James Caldwell Jr., David Caldwell. David Caldwell made oath to John George J.P. 4 Jan 1804. Prior to this, we find a David Caldwell in Old Ninety Six District. You may want to do a search online through the records at the South Carolina Archives and History http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/search/default.asp There are several wills in which David Caldwell is mentioned. I don't find a James Rusk in the OPD records. Hope this helps, Melissa --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta.
