Who were Andrew Weems daughters? Gloria Donaldson Wells [email protected]

I should have included that, they were James Weems (1776-1827) and Agnes Elizabeth Gray (1774-1865). James was a son of Bartholomew and Margaret Rosemond Weems. Andrew was my gg...uncle.

I copied several obituaries from the Southern Christian Advocate, including this one. I know the Weems family was originally Presbyterian so I wonder if a particularly good Methodist preacher held a revival in Abbeville around 1825. Elaine Oakes ANDREW J. WEEMS was born in Abbeville Districe, S.C., May 11, 1807, and died of nervous prostration in Bartow County, Ga., December 18, 1878. He embraced religion and joined the Methodist Church when he was eighteen years old, and spent the remainder of his life in its communion, filling various offices in it, and contributing freely in every way to the claims of the Church. He was three times happily married -- twice in South Carolina and once in Georgia. Each of the two former unions resulted in several children that have matured into useful men and women, one of them, Rev. David J. Weems, being an efficient member of the North Georgia Conference. In 1851 he moved from South Carolina to Georgia, where he lived and died. After his removal to Gerogia he lost his second wife; in 1864 he married his third wife, who survives him, and with whom he leaves five little children. Such a man, living so long and doing so much in the interest of the Church of God, should not be forgotten. With his large and promising posterity he has left an unsullied name -- a life beautifully consistent, closed by a triumphant, happy death. He was a warm and constant friend of the preacher, a life-long supporter of the institutions of the Church: the missionary and Conference claims had in him a ready and liberal contributor, the Church paper a constant subscriber and reader. While he would have willing lived, had the will of the Lord so indicated, he was quite ready to die. During his illness of more than eight weeks he manifested the highest type of Christian patience. Not unfrequently was his soul lifted above the sufferings of his emaciated body and made to rejoice in the power and presence of that grace which alone is able to comfort in such a trial. On the 13th day of December he died. W.F. ROBINSON

There is Robert Dunlap that is missing from the family. He might have been in Bibb or Tuscaloosa. Do you have him anywhere? Kay

The Dunlaps and Pettigrews (in-laws) moved to Greene County AL and then to Chickasaw Co., MS and stopped in Texas about 1860. I know there were other Dunlap families. I don't even know when mine came over. If they were born here or not. James born December 6, 1759 is from his tombstone. There might be a connection to a David Dunlap from County Cork but that doesn't look good. What do you know about your family? There didn't used to be many Dunlaps and now that I research them, there are so many. Kay

Kay, and then where did your Dunlaps go after 1818?. I too have a Dunlap line of James Sanford Dunlap and son Alexander Simpson Dunlap.Alex was born in Laurens SC in 1809 and married in Bibb Co,AL in 1833, died in Monroe Co Arkansas in 1866 having narrowly missed the slaughter there.His sister Nancy Dunlap also married into my line when she married as his second wife, Andrew Shular Green in 1846 Shelby Co AL. Nancy died in Miss.Any connection? Maryellen ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 4:07 PM Subject: Re: [Abbeville] Re: Rev.

My gggrandfather named his first son James Crouther. I have wondered whether he was named for this man. The Dunlaps lived in Abbeville until 1818 but I don't have much information on them. Kay Dunlap

There is an estate admin. for "Chas. Thomson," probably THOMPSON, Box 91, Pack 2246 Dated Oct 16, 1784 by Margaret Thomson, Old 96th District. I checked with the SC State Archives web site but they do not have this on their online records index. I'm fairly certain this is my Charles Thompson who died about that time and his wife Margaret (nee Clark) Thompson. It also mentions an Abby Thomson. Does anyone know how I can get the full copy of this document? Thanks in advance, Charles Barnum
