These are my ancestors and information was handed down to me I have not researched but my immediate line to it. But interested in anything about the Boyd, Wood, Voyles family. Jesse Boyd son of Henry W. Boyd and Ellender Wood and grandson of William Boyd. Henry was b. 19 Feb 1786 Franklin Co VA . He died 25 Mar 1875 Walshville, Montgomery Co IL , Ellender b. 1787 Franklin Co VA d. 29 Feb 1872 Walshville, Montgomery Co IL. Both buried in Kirkland Cem, Montgomery Co IL. Henry's father William died in Ky was a Revolutionary Soldier. Any help on the above Boyd/ Wood family would be appreciated. Now Henry Boyd's son Jesse m. Matilda Voyles who was born 08 sep 1811 in Pendleton District SC and she died abt 1874 in Walshville Montgomery Co IL. Does anyone have Voyles family who was her parents.

John McGill was born in Augusta County, VA and died bef. Feb. 1785 in Abbeville County, SC when his estate was administers by his wife Margaret. Margaret was born 1735 in Augusta County, VA. She died November 15, 1820 and is buried at Varennes Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Anderson County, SC. She was first married to Thomas Baskin born 1733 and died 1765 in Augusta County, VA. She and Thomas had two children: 1. Isabella who married Joseph Reid; 2. Mary Baskin. John and Margaret had three children: 1. Elizabeth who married James Thomson; 2. Mary Ann who married John Hamilton; and 3. Sarah Ann who married first Joseph John Pickens, Sr. and second to James Thomson Liddell. It is thought that John was married while still in VA and had three children: !. Samuel who died about 1839. Samuel married Elizabeth Gambrell; 2. Margaret born in 1760 died May 20, 1845 and married Francis Carlile; and 3. Unknown child. Samuel and Margaret were in Abbeville County at least by 1767 when father, John, married Margaret Hartgrove (Baskin). I am trying to prove the connection of John McGill and unknown as the parents of Samuel who is my direct ancestor. A. D. Smith Newberry, SC

Good Morning, I'm looking for information on the family of Samuel Meredith born ca 1775 and his wife Amelia Fox born 1/2/1782. Both were probably born in North Carolina. Samuel and Amelia's first child, Frederick Meredith, was born in South Carolina ca 1803. They continued on from South Carolina to Tennessee and then settled in Kentucky. Any information you have on this family would be greatly appreciated. Barbara Meredith Howard Georgia

Will appreciate any information about this family who was probably in Old 96 and later in Edgefield District. Some of the family migrated to GA in the late 1700s. Thank you, Lora Young

Seeking any bit of information about him, his spouse and children. Have a little about one son, Oran. Thank you. Lora young

Lorene, I have had several inquiries about the Porter Cemetery which seems somehow to have been overlooked or at least the last time I checked I did not find it listed among Spartanburg Co or Cherokee Co. cemeteries but that has been a while ago. So in answer to your note I am taking the liberty of sending this reply to the Spartanburg list and Old96 list in the hopes this old cemetery will be recognized and perhaps restored if possible. I have added some additional information for those who might be interested. In July 1978 I visited Ms. Lucille K. Pegram in Gaffney. I believe her father was Robert Kirby. She was the one who gave me directions to the Porter Cemetery, which I believe now lies in Cherokee Co (since 1897). I went out Hwy 150 between Cowpens & Pacolet just before you get to Thicketty Creek. I’m not sure I made a note of the distance but the cemetery was on a little hill across the road from Dwayne Kirby’s house [don’t know if he still lives there or not] but when I asked his wife about the cemetery she called him at work and he came home. I visited with him a little. His grandfather was Josh Kirby but he didn’t know much about the Porter Cemetery. My 1978 notes: “The cemetery is mostly grown up in trees and brush. There are quite a few rocks that appear to have marked graves at one time. This cemetery has been abandoned and forsaken for many years. There appear to be as many as 20 or 30 graves but most of them are not now marked with legible markers. The Cemetery is in the edge of a pasture and the cows tromp through here and rest under the shade trees without any regard for the departed. Even the utility crew that is stringing power lines tromped through the cemetery, kicking stones out of their way as they walked.” I was able to read a few tombs, some of which were just rocks with names and dates scratched in them. I found the following: Jacob Kirby, Feb 27, 1803 – March 14, 1880 M. D. K. 1859 Sam J. Porter Jan 13, 1880 – July 15, 1880 Smith Porter Jan 22, 1877 – July 16, 1877 Infant son of S. P. and M. R. Porter, born Jan 23, 1867. The notes I found did not have any other names or dates listed but I’m not prepared to say the ones above were the only legible tombs or markers. I had been given information that the Kirbys and Porters were somehow related so I may have limited my notes to those two families. For what it might tell us, the Spartanburg Co, Deed Records have the following entries: Benj. Wofford, P. J. to Jacob Kirby, 211 acres, deed dated 1875, filed 1879 Jacob Kirby to Sam Porter, 46 acres, deed dated 1875, filed 1879. Robert H. Kirby to Samuel Porter, 23 acres, Blue Branch, deed dated 1875, filed 1879. R. H. Kirby to Samuel Porter, 35 acres, deed dated 1877, filed 1879 Jacob Kirby to Sam P. Porter, 68 acres, deed dated 1879, filed 1879 Jacob Kirby to Samuel Porter, 1 acre, deed dated 1879, filed 1879 My guess is from the infants buried in the Porter Cemetery, that the cemetery is located on this land. However, the grave for M.D.K, 1859 puzzles me and I am now wondering if I read the date right. I haven’t figured out what M.D.K. stands for although Jacob Kirby and Patsy Lipscomb Kirby has a daughter named Martha and one named Mary. Also, at the moment I don’t remember what “P.J.” stands for in the original deed. Will have to look that up. I haven’t found any other deeds into or out of Jacob Kirby but Robert H. Kirby or R. H. Kirby is a different story, perhaps later. I would like to know the relationship, if any, between Jacob Kirby and Samuel Porter, if anyone on the list knows. Also, whether or not this cemetery appears online or in any publication by Spartanburg Co or Cherokee Co researchers. More than you asked for and probably more than you wanted to know so for now I’ll go back to my shade tree. But thanks for asking.

Hezekiah Watson died c 1828. Think his wife's name was Gillie "LN Unknown". Could she have been a Hodges. Hezekiah is buried at Hodges Cemetery and Hodges are mentioned throughout his probate papers.

OOOPS!! Just spotted a mistake after I sent the following message! It's not Ann Eliza TELFORD --- it's Eliza Ann TELFORD. ******************************************************************** Taking Eldon's suggestion, I'm reposting this. Does anyone have information on James Milton TAYLOR, born 1823. Most likely born in Anderson County, but can't verify it. About 1849, he married Ann Eliza TELFORD (b. 1825). Purchased property in Belton in the 1850s. In 1860, Ann Eliza and four children (Caroline, James H. , Thomas and Mary) are enumerated on the census in the household of Robert TELFORD and his wife. No mention of her husband, James Milton TAYLOR. She and at least 2 of the children migrated to Suwannee County, FL sometime after 1860, I believe with her brother, William Brazelton TELFORD. She died there in 1868. Any help greatly appreciated. Bette Taylor Harrison

Hi I have been trying to research a James SWAN moving to Logan Co, KY from SC (Little Beaverdam Creek of the Tugaloo River) c1800. James SWAN was in SC as early as 1790 (1790 SC census) and maybe earlier since some of his children listed their birthplaces and dates as early as 1777 in SC. James SWAN's wife at his death was Elizabeth. Names of his possible children are: 1. James Jr, b. ca 1777, still alive in 1860 (m. Nancy BROWN) 2. Sarah/Sally, b. 1781, d. 1871 (m. Jacob BROWN) 3. Francis Godfrey, b. ca 1784, d. 1848 (m. Elizabeth CHAMBERS) 4. Margaret, (m. Joseph BROWN) 5. Mary (Polly) b. ca 1792, d.1870 (m. Peter L. MCCLANAHAN) 6. Elizabeth, ca 1795, d.? (m. John BROWN, Jr) 7. Alexander, b. ca 1796, d. ?. 8. Samuel, b. ? d. ? 9. John, b.ca 1790, d.? 10.Hyrum, b. ca 1799, d. ? The three BROWNs that married James SWAN's daughters were probably sons of a John BROWN also of SC and I believed also lived on the Little Beaverdam Creek of the Tugaloo River and he moved to KY about the same time as James SWAN. William C. Stewart's "1800 CENSUS OF PENDLETON DISTRICT SOUTH CAROLINA" suggests, without any supporting data, that James SWAN "probably" came from Chowan Co, NC??? It would really be super if anyone has any information that might help me continue this search. Thanks again, Tom Holmdahl holmdahl@televar.com > --
