I am descended from Robert Richey and Rebecca Belton through their son William, born in South Carolina 1 Feb 1796. I am looking for parents and siblings of Robert and Rebecca. A note from the files of Leonardo Andrea says "William Richey had a son, Robert Ritchey b. 1775 married Rebecca Belton (Dtr. William Belton) of Laurens and they had a son, William Richey b. 1796 m. 1820 to Margaret Adair b. 1808 in Charleston and said to have been the daughter of Thomas Adair b. 1771 and his wife, Margaret Adair. Robert Ritchey resided at Newberry County near Laurens line." Do you have any information on this William or any William Richeys from about this time? I would appreciate any help.

Dear Paul, Thanks for replying to my query. I don't have much on Catherine Green, but I wonder if she's the Catherine who seems to be the widow of Robert Green, per his 1805 Abbev. Dist. estate (box 39, bundle 831). If so, it's interesting that I find members of the Calhoun, Caldwell, and Trimble family in the estate records. All tie into the kinship network of my John Green family, which makes me think that Robert could well be a relative of my John Green. About the Olivers: the John Green (1768-1837) about whom I posted married Jane, daughter of Samuel Kerr and Mary Calhoun. Jane had a sister Ruth who married William Oliver. I don't know much about this family except that they had children James and Mary Calhoun Oliver. I also find a 25 Sept. 1816 Pendleton Dist. deed in which the heirs of a James Oliver--Wm.

Lydia, wife of Peter, renounces dower. Whether the Wm. in this deed is the man who m. Ruth Kerr, I don't know. I hope this helps a bit, and will gladly share my information, if you think it would be useful to you in working on the Martins. Best, Bill L.

Bill, There seems to have been an Abbeville connection between the Greens and the Martins, and also, possibly with the Olivers, do you know anything about the Catherine Green who was living next door to a Margaret Martin in the 1830 census? Was this the same Catherine Green who was associated with the Ester Woods estate settlement earlier? I don't mean to cause you trouble but in my Martin research I have wondered about this question.

Dear Abbeville List, Seeking information on a Green family who appear in the Long Canes settlement by 1768. My earliest proven Green ancestor is John Green, who was b. 21 Jan. 1768, probably in the Long Canes settlement, and d. 18 March 1837 in Bibb Co., AL. Around 1788, probably in Abbeville Co., he m. Jane, daughter of Samuel Kerr and Mary Calhoun of the Long Canes settlement. Jane was b. 8 Oct. 1768 in Abbeville Co., and d. 2 Nov. 1855 in Bibb Co., AL. I've done extensive work on John's ancestry, without being able to prove conclusively who his father was, but I have narrowed down the candidates to two men who came to the Long Canes settlement in the 1760s, and who may well have been brothers--an older John Green, and Benjamin Green. Bob Thompson recently kindly sent me a transcript of a 1798 letter of Felix Hughes of Natchez Dist., LA, to Ebenezer Miller in (Abbeville Co.?), which notes that Thomas Marston Green, with whom Hughes was then living as a tutor for his family, was asking about John Green. This is evidently my John Green, who had moved over by that time to Pendleton Dist., where he settled on the east side of the Keowee near his wife's uncles John Ewing Colhoun and Gen. Andrew Pickens. It seems possible that Thomas Marston Green was related to the John Green family. I have quite a bit of information on my Green family in Abbeville Co., and will gladly share it with anyone interested in this family. I'd also be happy to hear from anyone with information to share.

Surnames: CLARK, RICHARDSON, KIDD Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GeB.2ACI/978 Message Board Post: Looking for James Clark's family.

WHEN James came to GA is unkn but he had to have been in GA for 2 years to qualify for a draw. His draw was a lot in Muscogee District. The lot eventually became Marion Co. GA. He had Kidd and Morrow children who were b. in SC in his household from 1840-50 to 1870. (William and Rebecca Jane Kidd, John Morrow.) William and John left the household before the 1860 census. William married Sarah Redmond and John went to parts unkn. Rebecca married after the 1870 census and moved to AL. These children have a possibility of being kin to the Clarks. My research has been in Union, Chester, Abbeville, Laurens co. and Long Cane Creek area. Nothing so far. Any ideas, clues, possiblities, or relatives?
