Thank you Kim, This has to be the Edward Vandiver b.1753 d. 1837 that is my( and Arlene's) ancestor. Thank you very much, I didn't know his birth date. Dianne Brown

Edward Vandiver, a Rev. War patriot who received a pension, was born in 1748 in Maryland; died 1837 near Neals Creek in the Anderson, SC, area. This is according to an old South Carolina newspaper article. See THE VANDIVER FAMILY, An Account of Two Pioneer Settlers of Upper Carolina Prior to the Revolutionary War. April 13, 1900. _....elligencer_, [title of newspaper cut off ]Volume XXXV---NO. 51. Perhaps someone can assist with the name of this South Carolina newspaper. A front page column entitled STATE NEWS refers to "...48 enumerators now at work in South Carolina." Thought *that* was interesting as well as helpful in identifying the location of this newspaper. I am not a Vandiver researcher, but I do have the above in my files : ) ... ... and also this: Rev. S. Vandiver married Mr. Thomas M. Vandiver to Miss Sarah, daughter of Stephen Liverett, both of Anderson District - January 5, 1838. Stephen is my direct maternal Leverett ancestor.

This might well be "The Anderson Intelligencer", which was published in Anderson, SC. Copies of this newspaper are found at the Anderson Co. Library and at Clemson University.
