Billie Jones Match: Edgefield AND SC Source: KYCARTER-L@rootsweb.com From: Cassy Sommers <foe3643@mac.com> Subject: Re: KYCARTER-D Digest V02 #53 Phyllis, Thank you so much for responding. It would seem to me that there may have been two completely different set of Messer families in Carter County. My Messers that went to Carter County from Knox County and before that they were from Edgefield County, South Carolina. I wonder if the Jacob Messer and Nancy Colburn you speak of that came from South Carolina was a brother to my John Messer. Do you know if this last Jacob is a son of James Messer b. 1735 died 1784 in Edgefield County, South Carolina or at that time known as District 96? Will of James MESSER The will of James MESSER is on file in the office of Judge of Probate at Abbeville, SC. It was probated in 1784. He lived in the 96th District of SC.

I have just finished photographing and indexing and annotating the Horsley Cemetery in Carter Co. Been working on this project far longer than I thought I'd be. (And hopefully in the near future I'll be able to learn how to get all this to the Carter Co. web site !!) Life has been busy, and I've just gotten into church records in Germany on my husband's lines. What a treat!!!! So have spent a lot of time on the Raker and Obertate lines(Carroll Co., KY) Frank, 1874 - 1953, and Pearlie (COLLIER), 1882 - 1966, MESSER are buried in Horsley Cemetery. Horsley Cem. is also called Rock Springs. and Greenup Co. calls it the Zornes Cemetery. Frank is the son of Jacob, 1846 - 1925, and Mary E. (McGUIRE) Messer. Jacob is the son of Jacob Messer, b. South Carolina, and Nancy COBURN. Mary E. 1853 - 1927 is the daughter of James McGUIRE and Elizabeth HANEY. Pearlie (Collier) Messer is the daughter of Newton Collier. Children of Jacob and Mary E. Messer: Morton, Frank, Elizabeth (Green), Eliza E. (Green), Srilda (Newman) Children of Frank and Pearlie Collier Messer are: Ted, William N., Charlie, Elsie, Dove (Archie Adkins) William N. 1905 - 1995, married Margaret E. 1900 - 1978. She was the daughter of John Will and Veria Haney. Children were Cleatis, Otto, Ardith, John F. Adam, Lowell I t is not guaranteed that the above is complete. Some of the information came from death certificates in Kentucky, other info from local people in Carter Co. Let me know if your dates and info don't add up to what I have. Because mine is typed into the index. My interest in Horsley Cemetery is that my great grandparents COUNTS, and their three sons and wives are buried there (one son being my grandfather.)

The "Floyd" families were very numerous in the Mullins, S.C. and surrounding areas, to include Darlington, in the 1900s.

Thanks to all who sent me suggestions for research areas. Since I only have 1 day (Friday) I think I will start out with the Greenville Library. Hopefully I'll find lots of clues to my Meredith lineage. Thanks again, Barb in GA

Hi, I am still seeking information on Jeremiah Hubbard's early days. He was in the area in 1786 as he is listed as witness to a land sale. I am looking for his parents and where they came from before Old 96. Also, I am seeking information on the Levi N. Robins who once owned a piece of land originally granted to Ruben Pyles. According to a deed dated 1810, the sheriff seized the land from him for payment of debt and Jeremiah purchased it at auction. There were two other Levi N. Robins in later years, one born in 1812 and one born in 1852. The elder of the two is son of Albert and Susannah Norton Robins the younger is son of Abel and Rachel King Robins, all of the Pickens District. I would like to see if there is a connection between the elder Levi and the two younger ones. Thanks, Lauren Richardson

Can someone please send me RnBFloyd's e-mail address? I must have copied it down wrong! Thanks in advance, Marty

--part1_1a0.ba8ee3f.2b01dc0d_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sorry, but I failed to send this to the SC-OLD96-L so I am forwarding a copy. I feel these are old historical books and you can only obtain them, many times, through large libraries or ones that are within the Old 96 locality, that folks all over the USA cannot go out and purchase these old books, and many times they are out of print. I have several books that have been reprinted several times over the past 100 yrs. If this can help someone in areas where they have only small libraries and do not have many books on SC (such as folks in Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, etc), I would be happy to look up something for them. Over the years, many, many folks have helped me with giving me information that came out of our of print books, or rare books that I feel a bit obligated to do the same. Since, no copyright clause is written in this 90 year old history book, I will continue until someone who has a family or legal interest this books request that I stop doing lookups.

Johnnie, They object because it effects the marketability of the book. I have the same problem with mine. I am willing to do a look up in my book so that the buyer won't have to buy something that is useless. I don't give out specific information but will tell the interested party if the name is there or not. This has worked well for me but some people still try to give all the info out of the book and thereby negate the sale. These books are self published and cost a great deal, both in time and money. Believe me, there is no profit. You do well to pay for the publishing with nothing for the time. The love of history and genealogy has to be the reward. It also takes a lot of time to do look ups but I would rather have a happy customer.

Hi Rex, According to this site, Jacob and Patsy Lipscomb Kirby's daughter Katie married Sam Porter. The dates and Louisa, VA don't seem to jive with your information, so this tidbit may be wrong also. http://www.surnames.com/haggard/web/d499.htm#P39509 Sam's wife on the 1880 census was Martha. Could Katie be a first wife? You mentioned that Jacob had a sister named Katie ... hmmmm. Melissa --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I am considering a research day this Friday but I don't know where the best place to research for the Old 96 area info. My family migrated through that area in the late 1790's early 1800's. I will be coming from the Atlanta Ga area. Any suggestions? Thanks, Barb

Thank you Tim. I have Sharne Doliante's book and did find Eleanor Pickens information about her marriage to John Prather (no source cited). The book also makes mention of Robert Pickens, mostly in land transactions with John Prather. But those two are the only Pickens' mentioned in her book. Other information about Pickens ancestry appeared in the OPD-database CD that I bought in January of 2000. However I could not find "sources cited" for any of that information. Bill Lindsey has offered information about the Pickens line. I am hoping he can cite sources for me. It is so nice to see a group help other researchers.

I agree from the records I am working on now, that she was second wife and first wife was probably Spragins, and possibly all the children except daughter Hannah were children of Spragins. The Spragins, Bolgers and Gormans were intertwined in some manner that I haven't figured out yet." I have the following as childen, but figure since he died in 1803, that many of these should be attached to his first wife. I need to read the actual will, as abstract is not clear as to which of the named children are 'heirs of (Nancy Nicholson's) body'. Descendants of John Gorman 1 John GORMAN d: Bef. February 1803 . +Hannah SPRAGGINS m: Bef. 1770 d: Abt. 1796 ..... 2 John Spragens GORMAN b: Abt. 1770 in Edgefield county, S.C d: Bef. 1820 in Warren County, GA. ......... +Nancy Fluellen GIBSON b: Abt. 1779 in Warren Co., GA m: December 20, 1794 in Warren Co., GA. *2nd Wife of John GORMAN: . +Nancy 'Annah' NICHOLSON m: Aft. 1796 Father: David Nicholson Mother: Rhoda Whitehead ..... 2 Hannah GORMAN b: March 12, 1797 d: Aft. 1850 ......... +Henry J.

Berry of the Deed Book 27, p. 245, 3 February 1806?) ..... 2 Patsy GORMAN m SCOTT ..... 2 Claborn GORMAN Can you help me sort them? Which children belong to Hannah Spraggins? I know that the 1790 census gives the following; John Gorman 2m 16+ , 2m <16, 2 females , 5 slaves - so he had 3 sons and 1 daughter by 1790, while married to Hannah Spraggins.
