Hendricks Groups in South Carolina before 1800-1830! Herb_316@Bellsouth.net The following is my synopsis of the Hendrix, Hendrick, Hendricks in SC. 1.) I'm trying to trace down some of the SC Low Country Hendrick/s - Charleston/Colleton Hendrick/s to get a person from that line to get their DNA done. This is the John, William, Daniel, Timothy and James group. This group first showed in Charleston, SC around 1700. Some of this group could be out of Haverill, Essex, Massachusetts which came here to get away from an epidemic in New England. The earliest is a John Hendricks ~1700 in Charleston. The story goes they left the Charleston/ area when a group from Wales moved in ~1735. Deborah Byrd is the expert in this area. The key for me is the James Hendricks d 1757 Christ Church Parish, Colleton Co., SC and the William Hendricks both in the Militia. Also the James Hendricks 1776 Militia of Colleton Co., SC. No DNA sample from this group. There is mentioned in James Hendricks' will of 1757 that he had a son names James and Charles. A Charles Hendricks shows in the 1790 reconstructed census of Elbert Co., GA. (Conclusion only one group of Hendrick/s here) 2.) The early group of Hendricks in Pendleton seems to be of the Frontier Hendricks line from the Spartanburg Co. /Two Mile Creek Hendricks. John Hendrix of Alabama has had his DNA done. He is from Isaac Hendricks m Nancy, Isaac the son of James Hendricks m Elizabeth, where one Isaac shows in Two Mile Creek and later in Franklin Co., Ga. Another James Hendricks shows early in Pendleton Co when it is still Indian Country. Sells some land and moves to Franklin Co., GA in 1797 where he is shown selling land in Pendleton Co., SC. However in Franklin Co., GA he is known as James Hendrix. A James Hendrix is shown as a son of Isaac Hendrix and is a Judge in Franklin Co., GA. Numerous DNA samples from James Hendricks m Elizabeth of Two Mile Creek. Before 1790 Moses Hendricks m Susannah moves into old Pendleton Co., SC. Before 1800 James Hendricks Jr m Jane McGill moves into Old Pendleton District, SC. Conclusion is that before 1800 there were 3 different sets of Hendricks in Pendleton County/District, SC 3.) The Laurens Co., SC group seem to be from the Pamunkey (Virginia) Hans Hendrick wife Margaret line with sons William Winn Hendrick and Micjah Hendricks. No DNA sample from this group yet. If you study the land deed records it seems that possibly one or two of the Two Mile Creek Hendricks owned land in Laurens Co., SC before and after 1800. 4.) The most notable Hendricks in Fairfield was Moses Hendricks, RWS-SC, m Susannah who moved to what is now Pickens Co., SC before 1790. The group of Hendricks on Cedar Creek at the Fairfield - Richland Co line also seems to be from the Frontier Hendricks line. This includes Garrett Hendricks who moves around in SC and is from NC but of the Frontier Hendricks clan. This also include James Hendricks RWS-SC b ca 1750 d 1820 wife Mary, leaves will in Fairfield Co., SC showing all children. This is the Garrett Hendrix d 1823 in Union Co., SC lived to be 107 years of age. No DNA test yet from this group. Conclusion there is no proof so far that Garrett Hendrix and James Hendrix are kin. Also a Jesse Hendricks appears there around 1800 and is possibly from NC. Possibly as many as 4 different Hendricks before 1800 in Fairfield Co., SC. 5.) The Orangeburgh Hendricks group; German-Swiss settlement: the Townships of Orangeburgh, Amelia and Saxe-Gotha. There were also English, Scots, Irish, French, Welsh, Dutch, Swedish and Jewish settlers who located in the area. By the end of the colonial period, however, Orangeburgh, Amelia, and Saxe-Gothe Townships were predominately German. At this time, the Orangeburgh District included Orangeburgh, Amelia (Calhoun County), Saxe-Gothe (Lexington) and Winton (Barnwell)(Aiken/Bamberg, Allendale). Web Site: first generation biographies of immigrant settlers in Orangeburgh District for the time period 1735 to 1773. http://www.rootsweb.com/~scogsgs/ffam/index.htm University of South Carolina Law Library Hans Henrich No identifiable living Hendricks from this group. NO DNA test. 6.) Another group is the Chesterfield/Lexington Hendrix group which is defined at the Lexington Genealogy Exchange. Mostly Tobias Hendricks m Margaret Spreckel (? sp) Frontier Hendricks from PA. (2x check of DNA however a difference of 4 mismatches so one is not from the Tobias Hendricks Family) Lineage is constructed forward except for Henry Hendrix and Samuel Hendrix who disappeared from SC, so says author, after signing 1807 deed when Tobias m Margaret died. An Archibald Hendrix shows briefly in Lexington, SC from about 1830-1843, tested DNA but no kin to the frontier Hendricks. The Amos Hendricks m Elizabeth (she the daughter of Tobias Hendricks m Margaret Sprenckel has not been DNA tested. There is another William Hendricks there apparently not in the Tobias Hendricks family which also has not been DNA tested. Conclusion from the period of 1780 when Amos and Tobias Hendricks first got land grant to a bout 1843 there seems the possibility of there being at least 4 groups of Hendricks in Lexington Co., SC. 7.) The Jabesh Hendricks group that shows in old Edgefield Co., SC is from the Eastern North Carolina group called Daniel Hendricks of Bertie Co., NC. This group which went on from Edgefield Co., SC to Bullock Co., GA has had two DNA participants which match. This group also matches to the Daniel Hendrick of 1634 MA who married Dorothy Pike (7 DNA participants in this group) Please note Patti Mulnix of Statesboro, GA researched this Hendricks Family and found there were two Hendricks in Eastern NC. Davenport had put all the families into what he called the Francis Hendrickson of Albemarle Co., NC. John Henry Hendrix of Midland, TX supported this work. We have one of these Albemarle - Francis Hendrickson participant's DNA tested but it does not match to the Daniel Hendricks of Bertie Co., NC group. Data from this family shows them arriving in Edgefield Co., SC before 1785 moving to Bullock Co., GA, fleeing the Indian Raids in GA and back to SC. However they went back to GA. However there appears an unidentified Hendricks there around 1800 through at least 1840. So there might have been one of the Jabesh Hendricks that stayed in SC or someone else moved in. For a time around 1830 the Garrett Hendricks of about 1815 Newberry lived either in Edgefield or Abbeville Co., SC. Also in the land deeds there is a John William Hendricks listed about 1800-1810. Possible three sets of Hendricks in Edgefield before about 1830 8.) The group in Chester Co. are an unknown to me, I discovered a couple of Hendricks there my last trip to SC Archives. One was a James Hendricks. Later work seems to indicate these might be connected to the Pamunkey (Virginia) Hendrick clan. No DNA participant from this group yet. Conclusion only one set of Hendricks in Chester Co., SC before 1800. 9.) The Darlington Co. group seems to be connected to a Joseph Hendricks who first shows on the 1800 Census of Darlington Co., SC. Davenport seems to think this group came into Darlington from NC and are Frontier Hendricks. No proof of this. A publication sold by the Darlington Chapter of SCGS is about an Ephraim Hendricks but no effort was made to document where he came from or who he could be kin to in terms of his ancestors. There seems to be other Hendricks from this Darlington area such as a Hasting Hendrix but no DNA participant. No DNA participant from any of these groups. Conclusion there could be more than one group of Hendricks in Darlington, SC area before 1820. 10.) The Newberry Co., SC group at first seemed to be all Frontier Hendricks per Davenport. We have tested the Henry Hendricks wife Jane DNA participant and found them to be Frontier Hendricks. We have tested the Henry Hendrix m Martha Marput and he only matches DNA wise to the Archibald Hendrix mentioned above in Lexington Co., SC. My Hendricks line from Newberry James Hendricks, sons David and Henry has been DNA tested (5 participants) only match within the family. There is also a Garret Hendricks on Beaver Creek, near Henry Hendrix who married Martha Marput who we have traced but have not found a DNA participant. Conclusion there could be 4 sets of Hendricks in Newberry before 1815. 11.) Turner Hendrick/Kendrick, etc are unknown entities to me at this time. There is plenty of Kendrick data available but could not fit it into any Hendricks I knew about. Turner is a Revolutionary War Soldier in SC. We have not traced this family group. 12.) The Alexander Hendricks (Irish Immigrants 1767- Jane Revill's book.). This group in Union Co., SC in the 1790 census and includes an Obadiah and Richard. We have not found a living DNA participant but we do have some family connectivity here. About 1800 John Hendrick, son of Tory Captain William Hendrick m Margaret Evans is found for a while in Union Co., SC and seems to disappear. John Hendricks brother Thomas Hendricks also moves there and takes up some of the land owned by John Odell m Eleanor Hendricks. Some of the land was bought from Moses Hendricks m Ruth Odell (from Newberry to Pickens Co., SC area before 1809). Thomas Hendricks moves family to Arkansas 1850-60 and dies on the way. See Mary Hunt Copeland files for more details. We have DNA proof that John and Thomas Hendricks are frontier Hendricks. Conclusions two set of Hendricks in Union Co., SC before 1820 13) We have tested the Benjamin Hendricks and others from this group in Chesterfield Co., SC and found them to be Pamunkey (Virginia) Hendricks. Conclusion there seems to be only one group of Hendricks in Chesterfield Co., SC before 1810. 14) We have tested four from the Moses Hendricks RWS-SC b bef 1760 d 1837 m Susannah group who lived first in Fairfield Co., SC and moved to Pickens Co., SC area where Moses died. 15) James Hendrix 1750 petition for land grant for services rendered under Col Van der Sussesson (sp) in fighting the Spanish in FLA. He got his 50 acre land grant which seemed to be somewhere near the old Indian Trail near the Savannah River. Not traced - no one found.

I have been thinking a little about my own notes, just thought I'd throw this into the mix. When Ambrose Christopher lost all of his land in Virginia, his son Ralph said he turned to drink and never recovered. Then in Rutherford County, NC., Ralph said they lost his mother, Elizabeth Griffin, and Ralph also says that the had a LARGE family, while we only have 5 children listed, it seems we are missing some. I wonder if some of the ones we are missing might be David and William in Abbeville 1820 Census? I can't help but wonder, though it doesn't make sense, the two Christopher boys, Wm., and Buckner Griffin, were they orphans, or were they maybe passed on to their brother David from Ambrose Sr.? We know that Ambrose Sr. did leave NC and go into Georgia, I don't know when he showed up, but I remember him getting in trouble because of his drinking. So did Ambrose leave his two youngest son's with David as he passed into Georgia? The Buckner Griffin name can be a hint, I am just thinking out loud. Did Elizabeth Griffin Christopher die in childbirth, leaving Ambrose to raise the two youngest, was David Christopher in Abbeville a son of Ambrose, maybe a nephew? Maybe David and William Christopher in 1820 census are cousins, which would allow for Wm(William?), and Buckner Griffin to be son's of Ambrose Sr., otherwise 2 Williams, same family? If I remember right, I think William shows up in Franklin County, Ga. later,1830-40?, you'd think that would make him father to John Davis Christopher, who also goes to Franklin County, Ga. So I think we should try and find William married to a daughter of John Davis? I seem to remember something from "The Abbeville Banner" about a William: STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Equity Wiley PULLIM and others vs. Thomas BYRD and others Bill for Injunction It appearing that Frances MITCHELL, Anna COOPER, John PULLIM, Zachariah PULLIM, Robert PULLIM, Harriet WARE and James WARE her husband, Caroline STEWART and Mark T.

Ok, let try and talk Abbeville for a few minutes and see what we know, what we think we know, what we might learn. We know that in early Abbeville there was a James Christopher from 17?2 - 1783. We know that Ralph Griffin Christopher, son of Ambros Christopher and (Elizabeth Griffin Christopher(died in Rutherford County, NC Abt 1798-99), Ralph left Rutherford, NC and went to Abbeville(Abt 1803) with one of his sisters and a brother-in-law. We know that Elizabeth Christopher, daughter of David of Mecklenburg County, Va., who married William Finch, dies in Abbeville after 1791. 2. Elizabeth CHRISTOPHER (David CHRISTOPHER1) died in > Abbeville, SC. She married William FINCH 21 JAN 1780 > in Mecklenberg Co., VA, son of Brothers FINCH and > Sarah VAUGHAN. He was born ABT 1753, and died 11 APR > 1811 in Clarke Co GA. > > Children of Elizabeth CHRISTOPHER and William FINCH > are: > + 3 i. John FINCH died 1831. > + 4 ii. Brothers FINCH was born ABT 1785 in SC. > 5 iii. Christopher FINCH was born ABT 1790 in > Newberry Co., SC, and died ABT 1859 in Scott Co., MS. > He married Elizabeth DUNGAN 24 FEB 1818 in Clarke Co., > AL. She was born ABT 1795, and died AFT 1870. > + 6 iv. William FINCH was born ABT 1791, and died > BET 1881 AND 1882 in Clay Co., GA. > 7 v. Sally FINCH. She married Anderson BURT 20 >MAR 1809 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. > 8 vi. Elizabeth FINCH. She married Samuel BYRD 2 > SEP 1809 in Oglethorpe Co., GA. We know that David Christopher was made guardian of two minor Christopher boys, William, and Buckner Griffin Christopher in 1818. CHRISTOPHER, (MINORS) -- Box 106, Pack 2692: On Apr 6, 1818 David CHRISTOPHER, John DAVIS, James COBB bound unto Taliferro Livingston Ord. Abbeville Dist. sum $2,000. David CHRISTOPHER made grn. of Wm., Buckner Griffin CHRISTOPHER, minors under 14 yrs. We know that in Census data 1820/1830 Now in the 1820 census David is on the same page with a John Davis, John Davis appears as over 45 years of age with a female also over 45. David Christopher is on the same page with 3 male kids under 10, 1 under 16, himself under 26, 1 female under 16, and his wife I assume, also under 26. William Christopher is also on the 1820 census, different page, 1 male, 2 females all under 10, while both he and his wife are under 26. We know that Ralph Griffin returns to the Abbeville area, Newberry district in 1820, and in 1822 married Miss Anne T. Chiles, daughter of Thomas Chiles Esquire, Abbeville District,. In 1830 Daniel Christopher shows up right over a John Davis, John is under 75, as is his wife, but there are 2 other people in their home, 1 male, 1 female, both under 30. Now Daniel, who is listed just above this John Davis has a house full, Daniel showing up in the 40-50 bracket, with the oldest female(wife?) being in the 30-40 bracket. 1 boy under 5, 2 under 10, 1 under 15, 1 under 20, and 1 under 30. 1 female under 5, and another under 15. ------------- So who was James in the late 1700's, is he the son of William, brother to Ambrose?

Description: DAVIS, JOHN OF ABBEVILLE DISTRICT, WILL TYPESCRIPT (2 FRAMES) (MSS WILL: BOOK 2, PAGE 294; ESTATE PACKET: BOX 27, PKG. 612) Names Indexed: DAVIS, JOHN/CHRISTOPHER, JOHN DAVIS/DAVIS, JOHN TIMOTHY/DAVIS, ELISABETH/MCCALISTER, MARGARET//DAVIS, NANCY/DAVIS, POLLY/WHITE, JOHN/JONES, STEPHEN/BASHIER, JOHN A./ Locations: ABBEVILLE DISTRICT/GEORGIA/DOOLY COUNTY, GEORGIA/ Who is John Davis? Who is he married to? In his will in 1831, he names a grandson as JOHN DAVIS CHRISTOPHER. John D. Christopher is found in Franklin County, Ga. in the mid 1800's. John D. Christopher is family to Gerald Rimmer, one of our Texas researchers. Gerald Rimmer geraldrimmer@sbcglobal.net Researching John D. Christopher b.abt 1814 S. C. He was on the1850 Franklin Co. GA. census and appears to have a wife named Amelia. By 1860 he was in Hunt Co. TX Chn: Amelia A.R. b. abt 1836 S.C. Benjamin F. b. abt 1837 S.C. Nancy b. abt 1839 S.C. Martha b. abt 1841 S.C.

His mother is surely a Davis, daughter of John Davis, but who is she, and which Christopher did she marry? ------ Let's not forget, much of our information will be got by looking at cross lines, who are they, why were they here? Grigg(s), Finch, Davis, Hall, Griffin, and Cobb, just to name a few. This is where our success will lie, family records, many of the records in Southern States were destroyed during and after the Civil War. Following the Revolution, settlers began to pour into upper South Carolina, and the yet formed Georgia. Most were from Virginia and North Carolina, bringing their hardscrabble ways and their religions with them, moving into land grants, head right's, many would be indian fighters, as most of Georgia and the upper Carolinas still belonged to the indian nations. -------- We can go on and on in this, and I hope we will, but not all today, all this typing wore me out. Also, lets not forget, there are Christopher's coming out of Abbeville well into the 1850's. Lets not forget George Ambus Christopher and his sister Jane Christopher. ----------- Anita Warren-Hendrix, anita@warren.net Researching George Ambus (abt 1812) md.

Thomas J. Mathews and Jane Adeline Mathews were also brother and sister. Thomas and Jane were the children of Capt. Joseph Calhoun Mathews and Margaret Brough, Abbeville, SC. I descend from Thomas. I am trying to find out the parents of my Christophers. -------------- Thanks, David PS; I know theres more, but this is a start. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Luggage?

This 5th day of April 1856. William Hill, Ordinary of Abbeville District --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, APRIL 17, 1856 MURDER AND SUICIDE The Pickens Courier of the 12th inst., states that Mr. KUTHMAN, near Walhalla, after a shooting a negro woman belonging to Mr. RILEY, committed suicide. -------- OBITUARIES DIED, at the residence of her father near Abbeville C.H., on the mornng of the 6th inst., Mrs. Mary Norwood LOMAX, consort of Mr. William James LOMAX and eldest daughter of John A. CALHOUN, all of this District. She was born at Abbeville C.H. on the 30th of March 1834 and was just twenty-two years and six days of age. Having been brought up by a mother admirably qualified to impress upon a daughter's character the excellent virtues which adorned her own, and educated with exactness, care and thorough discipline of mind at Dr. Mark's celebrated Female School in Columbia, where she graduated with the highest honors of the Institution, she entered upon the responsibilities of married life with a superior understanding and finished cultivation, and was, altogether, one of the most lovely and accomplished women of her age. About two years ago, she joined the M.E. church. From then up to the time of her death, she was a consistent Christian. Her religious principles were solid, based upon revealed truth and singularly influential, producing a beautiful harmony of grace and virtues of character, humility, blended with dignity; trust in God, with self supporting energy; reliance on God with a holy, consistent walk. She had the vital warmth of heart which could attach to her all who came within reach; the purity simplicity and sincerity which threw a charm over her while intercoursing with society and the clear, strong, practical understanding which challenged respect and admiration. In the little world of her home,she was felt by him who mourns her untimely departure, to be a faultless christian. And how fully was the truth of this opinion exemplified in her last moments. Upon being asked by her companion in life if she was afraid to die, she promptly but calmly replied "No, death has no terror for me." Shortly after which remark, she gently sunk to sleep supported by those thoughts which hallow the couch when true piety dies. Her body now lies entombed with slumbering millions and her spirit has returned to God who gave it. Her friends and relations mourn her departure and weep over the resting place of their darling child. But father, mother, brothers, sisters and above all, husband, ought you thus to repine at your fate, when you reflect upon the many christian graces that glittered in splendid imagery around her dying couch, like the enchanting beams of the setting sun upon the western sky. In the last ebbings of nature, did she not afford you the cheering consolation that the highest beauty of her life was of its retrospection? Are you not convinced then, that your temporal loss has been her eternal gain? Are you not satisfied that her soul is now bathing and basking in the broad sunlight of celestial bliss? Do you not believe that her name is now sparkling and glowing in characters of living light, high up upon the immortal columns of the New Jersusalem? Is not now Heaven her Home and Etermity her lifetime? If then, you entertain Christian views of life and death, instead of mourning, ought you not rather to rejoice that she has been freed from the pain and anxiety and trouble and perplexity and anguish, of this vale of tears? The deceased left two children, a son and a daughter. They are both too young to feel her loss. Dear little innocents! That "the choicest blessings of Heaven may rest upon your heads and its purity always exist in your hearts" is the prayer of your dear Mother's Friend. ------------- DEPARTED this life, yesterday morning at 3 o'clock, Mrs. Virginia Elizabeth WESTFIELD, wife of Edward WESTFIELD of this village, after a protracted illness of six weeks. Several years previous to her death, Mrs. Westfield connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal church; lived a consistent pious life, was faithful to all the duties which devolved upon her, as a Christian, a wife, a mother and a friend, and died in hope of a blessed immortality. Her sorrowing relatives may safely appropriate to themselves the precious consolation" that their loss is Heaven's gain." The deceased leaves a devoted husband bowed to the earth under the heavy affliction, which in his own language "strips him of his all", a tender babe, her only surviving child, whose existence bears date with its mother's last illness, and many near and dear relations and friends. Our departed friend filled a large space in the affections of the people of this community. The vacuum in their regards which her death creates, cannot be readily supplied. Our village has sustained a great bereavement. ------------- DIED, on the morning of the 31st ult., Mrs. Susan E. BLACK, wife of James W. BLACK, in the thirty-sixth year of her age. Suddenly, did this mournful and unexpected event overwhelm, in the most intense pain and grief, her husband and little ones, to whom the loss of such a wife and mother is irreparable. Verily, "in the midst of life, we are in death." The deceased was a most devoted, affectionate and faithful wife and mother, whose love and care of her husband and children ever modestly and tenderly pervaded all of her actions. She was one whose charity was ever active without display and she was kind to the poor. She lived on the most friendly terms with all with whom she had social intercourse and has left many friends who will long kindly cherish her memory. She was a humble and consistent member of the Methodist church, to which she had been attached for the past sixteen years. She leaves a husband and eight children to mourn her removal, with the consoling hope which we have reason to feel, that their loss is her eternal gain. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, APRIL 24, 1856 LAND FOR SALE The subscriber, wishing to go West, offers his land for sale, lying nine miles above Lowndesville on the Anderson road, containing 450 acres, about 300 acres in woods and 20 acres of good bottom land in cultivation.

Norwood in Troup County, Georgia, by the Rev. William Cunningham, Mr. J. Ellison PATTERSON of Stewart county, Georgia to Miss Louisa H., daughter of Dr. W.C. NORWOOD of Cokesbury, S.C. ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, Andrew H. CALLAHAM has applied for Letters of Administration on the goods, chattels, rights and credits of John R. CALLAHAM, deceased. This is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said dec'd to appear at the Ordinary's Court of said district, to be held at the Abbeville courthouse, on the 29th day of May, to show cause, if any, why said administration should not be granted. This 14th day of May 1856. William Hill, Ordinary of Abbeville District ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, MAY 22, 1856 GOLD We were shown, a few days since, a lump of gold, taken from the premises of Lewis RICH in this district, worth, we suppose, six or seven dollars. The appearance of the rock as described to us, near which it was found, affords the strongest evidence of an auriferous vein in the vicinity. Sometime since, we were shown specimens of ore from the plantation of Mr. CUNNINGHAM; but as we learned, it was the intention to test its quality, we omitted to mention the fact, expecting soon to hear the results. We have also heard that a valuable mine has been discovered upon the premises of Col. Jas. E. CALHOUN. Who knows but that old Abbeville may yet prove as rich in this precious mineral as the hills and plains of California. ------------ AWFUL OCCURRENCE Mr. James BURKHALTER in the neighborhood of Coopersville, Edgefield District, came to an untimely end a few days since, in the following shocking manner: He was attending to his mother's business and returning with the hands from the field, he mounted one of the mules just taken out of the plow. From some cause, the mule took fright and ran away, unseating the rider. In falling, Mr. Burkhalter's leg became entangled in the gear and he was dragged a considerable distance over much ground. When extricated, he was found to be horribly injured and died in a very short time. The Edgefield Advertiser ----------- MARRIAGES Married on May 12th 1856 by the Rev. Joseph Gibert, Mr. R.W. CARPENTER of Elberton, Georgia to Miss Samantha PRATHER of Lowndesville, S.C. ---------- OBITUARY DIED, of Scarlet Fever at Poplar Hill near Cambridge, on Wednesday the 30th of April 1856, Buel Anderson, eldest son of James and Eliza H. McCRACKEN, age 12 years, 4 months and 4 days. And, died on Wednesday, May 7th of the same fearful disease, James Blair, the second son,aged 11 years, 1 month and 5 days. Seldom have the hearts of fond parents been stricken under more painful circumstances or by the loss of more interesting children, than in the sudden death of these promising little boys. Just on the threshold of young manhood, intelligent, active and trained with the anxious care of a pious, educated parentage, human foresight would have promised long life, and a proud reward of wordly usefulness and success. But that God whose thoughts are not as men's thoughts, and whose ways are past finding out, decreed otherwise. They were both remarkable for their obedience and love of truth; the last act of little Buel, an effort that proved the proximate cause of his death, was an act of obedience. James was a boy of uncommon talents and gave promise of a brilliant future. Early taught to reverence the work of God, it was his delight to study it himself and read it to the servants and younger members of the household. The bereaved parents have the heart felt sympathies of a large circle of friends and acquaintances. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, MAY 29, 1856 DEATH OF MAJ. WM. L. KEITH It is our painful duty to annouce the death of this aged gentleman. He breathed his last at his residence in this village on Tuesday night last, after an illness of several weeks, during which time his sufferings were great. His disease was thought to be an affliction of the heart. Maj. Keith was in some respects a remarkable man. He held the office of Clerk of the Court for this District by re-election for nearly twenty-eight years and was a most efficient, attentive and courteous officer. He also discharged the duties of Commissioner in Equity for several years. The deceased was in his 61st year and his death is mourned by a large family connection, and many friends and admirers. The Keowee Courier, the 24th inst. ------------- MARRIAGES Married on Sunday morning the 18th of May by the Rev. Mr. Smith, A.F. WIMBISH of Abbeville, S.C. and Mrs. Susan BURTON of Elberton, Georgia. "May their hearts united prove, in mutual joys and faithful love." ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, John A. HUNTER has applied for Letters of Administration on the goods, chattels, rights and credits of James M'CREE, deceased. This is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said dec'd to appear at the Ordinary's Court of said district, to be held at the Abbeville courthouse, on the 11th day of June, next, to show cause, if any, why said administration should not be granted. This 27th day of May 1856. William Hill, Ordinary of Abbeville District ----------

I have quite a few records on Elisha BROOKS, which turned out to be several, but feel like the name was carried down to the one we see so often in the court records in Upper SC. For anyone who would like to see these, I can post. Would do it in increments as not to flood the Lists. Audrey

I would be very interested in corresponding with anyone that can trace their linage back to one of the immigrants found on the following list of land bounty recipients. Boonesborough Township is located on (or near) Long Cane Creek in Abbeville County. I would like to know if anyone has any proof as to the name of the vessel they arrived on. Boonesborough Township Council Journal 29, page 13 Meeting of February 10, 1763 His Excellency the Governor acquainted the Board that a vessel was arrived in the Port of Charles Town with about seventy persons from Ireland who were come into this Province on the encouragement of Bounty given by an Act of Assembly passed the 25th day of July 1761 That in order no time might be lost in settling those persons in either of the two new Townships lately laid out for foreign Protestants he had ordered those people to attend with their petitions. His Honor the Lieutenant Governor thereupon observed that in order to distinguish those townships from the others in the Province name should be given them and proposed that the one at Long Cane Creek should be called Boonesborough and the other Belfast. The council agreed in opinion with his Honor and it was Ordered accordingly. The petitioners were thereupon call in when they were severally sworn to their family rights and having produced Certificates of their being Protestants the same were read and approved to. The following petitions for Warrants of Survey of land & ca were then presented and read VIZ NAME ACRES John Forsith 100 Andrew Seawright 300 Richard Brown 100 David Martin 100 Mary Martin 100 James Seawright 100 James Wason 100 James McElrath 100 John Dickson 100 William McDowell 250 Michael Dickson 200 Elizabeth Seawright 100 David McCrory 100 Jean Dixon 100 Robert Thompson 100 Alexander McCraken 100 Henry Templeton 350 Elizabeth Mathews 100 Hugh Kingan 100 Francis Martin 250 James Campbell 100 Matuerin Colvill 100 Samuel Paxton 250 George Seawright 100 JAMES R.

Winn, Thanks, good to hear that others enjoy reading it, as do I. I have read it over and over, trying to sort out some of the family connections that still elude us. But when I start reading the bio, I soon forget why, as I get pulled back to 1800.

1. John HALL (William, Jr. HALL4, William HALL3, Samuel HALL2, Richard HALL1) was born Abt 1750 in VA, and died 1808 in Anderson, SC. He married Ursula GREGG\GRIGG Wft Est 1769-1794, daughter of M. GREGG\GRIGG and Alice CARTER. She was born Abt 1753 in VA, and died 1814 in Anderson, SC. ---------- If John Hall Va. married Ursula Griggs, that might may another aspect to look at as David Christopher of Mecklenburg married Elizabeth Griggs, and it also seems that a lot of the Griggs line came to Carolina. What the heck, lets just claim that we are all one big family and leave it there, heh........
