I have never seen one of these Landownership maps, how detailed are they, and do they just show the owner's name on the plot? This is new to me. Thanks for your insight.

His son Frank Jr. was the infomat. Anyway, Frank Vance would be my great grandfather, who according to Abbeville 1880 census he was the husband of Sophia, father of Allen Vance, Frank Vance, Mary Vance. Mary Vance born about 1877 was my grandmother. She married a Joe Evans also of Abbeville, he was born about 1867. They had three children: John Eugene, Ike, and Jessie. John was my father, born about 1896. Okay, now what I am looking for are the descendants mostly of the Vances of Abbeville. Thanks.

I wonder if the earlier maps were burned along with all the other records for Abbeville in the big fire. Since I live in Florence and won't be able to get to the Abbeville Library anytime soon, would there be anyway you'd be willing to scan a small portion or make me a photocopy of a small portion of the map? Even if it is done in pieces, that's o.k. I'll gladly pay any expenses beforehand. I'm interested in the area right around the county line between Anderson and Abbeville Counties, near the Savannah River, near Gregg Shoals Dam. This would be the area where the Diamond Springs Hotel was located, which was built by my great-great-grandfather, John W. Brown. The road was earlier known as the Bowman Ferry Road, but today is known as Rupert Scruggs Road, off of Gregg Shoals Road. It is near the Barnes Station area. The area of interest would also include the next road over, the Piney Grove Church Road, also off of Gregg Shoals Road. Gregg Shoals Road turns off of Barnes Station Road between Union Baptist Church and Lowndesville. If you have any questions regarding the ! area, please let me know. Please write me back if you'd be willing to scan and email this area to me, or photocopy and mail it to me. If you wish to mail it, I'll send you a postage paid, addressed envelope ahead of time. Thank you so much for your help. Joanne B. Revell Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Can anyone confirm the data below, also would be very interested in more data of this group if available. Is this the same John Davis that shows up in the 1820-1830 census. Is this the same John Davis that was with David Christopher in 1818 bonding two minor children to David Christopher?

All the legatees of the said John RICHEY are hereby notified to appear before the Ordinary at Abbbeville court house on the second day of March 1854, as a final settlement of the said estate will be made on that day. B.P. HUGHES, Administrator --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, FEBRUARY 2, 1854 ADMINISTRATOR'S SALE The property of the late Mrs. Jane DONALD, deceased, will be sold at public auction at the late residence of the said deceased, on Wednesday the 5th of February, consisting of several likely negroes, horses, cows, hogs, a quantity of salted pork, corn, fodder, cotton in the seed, plantation tools and many other articles to numerous to mention. Francis ATKINS, administrator with the Will annexed. Jan. 25, 1854 ----------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, NOVEMBER 23, 1854 DESPERATE BATTLE WITH A DEER Not long since, two little boys, sons of J.F. CRAWFORD of this District, one seven years of age and the other nine years of age, were returning from school when they were fiercely pounced upon by a tame buck roaming at large over the county. The first attack was upon the younger boy who stood his ground with the resolution of a Camisard; the older one in the meantime was coming to his assistance. The little fellows after a few passes, however, discovered to their dismay that the long horns and sharp feet of the enraged deer were very dangerous weapons, and the one first attacked was quickly hurled to the ground exhausted and bleeding. The maddened animal then turned upon the other who urged his little brother to seize the opportunity and make his escape across a neighboring fence. He sprang for it with his remaining strength, and was in the act of leaping over when he was again set upon and received a deep wound in his back. At this moment, a negro man coming up, rescued the young combatants from their perilous situation, and they were carried home bruised and bleeding from head to foot. Besides the wound in the back of the younger brother, the older one had received a horn in his mouth which penetrated the cheek near the ear, producing an ugly gash. Their clothing, even to their socks, were stripped off of them in shreds. ------------- MARRIAGES Married on Tuesday evening, Nov. 14th by Rev. James Moore, Mr. James A. CALDWELL of Cass county, Georgia to Miss Sarah A. MAGER, of Anderson District, South Carolina. ------- OBITUARY DIED, in Abbeville District at the residence of his brother-in-law Rev. W.H. Davis, on the 23rd ult., Edward Randolph MORAGNE, youngest son of Isaac MORAGNE, deceased, aged 19 years. He was about finishing his academic course with the view of entering college this fall, but in one short week, was hurried to the grave. And such is life! "Man is a transient fading flower, that even in blossoming dies." The remembrance of one so gentle and affectionate, so guileless and trustworthy, will be pleasant tho' mournful to the memory of those who knew him well. In his life, conversation and manners, he was remarkable for purity and simplicity which are too seldom seen in this corrupting world; it is not known to his friends that he ever uttered a profane or vulgar word. In his last moments, his patient endurance and lovely submission endeared him still more to the mourning hearts around him. He had not previously made an open profession of piety; but it was apparent that the teachings of his pious mother had not been lost upon his serious and reflecting mind. He received the consolations of religion with a simple and childish fondness. Nearly his last breath was spent in an earnest desire for that "eternal life" described to him as a state of immortal rest and happiness. The solemn and interesting scenes of his dying hour will not easily be forgotten by the many who witnessed it, so calm, so rational, so free from earthly wishes, it seemed indeed, "quite on the verge of Heaven." ----------- RANAWAY Ranaway from the owner James SMITH, in Anderson District, a negro boy BOB, about 30 years of age, about 5 feet 10 inches high, black complexion, medium size, weight about 160 pounds. The said negro left on Sunday evening the 14th inst. The owner is now on his way to Texas.

All persons interested in the estate are notified to be present. Robert DUNN, Andrew DUNN, Administrators, January 4, 1855 --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, JULY 12, 1855 OBITUARY Departed this life on the 24th ult., in the 48th year of her age, Mrs. Martha HILL, consort of Rev. W.P. HILL, of Greenwood, Abbeville District, South Carolina. Few individuals possessed as many excellencies of character as the subject of this notice. All those natural virtues which adorn the female character, seemed to unite in her. Added to these were the graces of the Holy Spirit, which, blended with her natural qualities, rendered her not only an amiable female but likewise a humble and devoted Christian. Truly, she was "adorned with a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God, is of great price." The possession of these virtues qualified her for the performance of the serveral duties arising from the relations of life, as daughter, wife, mother, sister, friend. These duties she discharged in such manner as to secure the confidence and esteem of all who knew her. Yea, of her, it might be said, "she had not an enemy." Her kind and affable manner gained her friends, her prudence and fidelity retained them. The kind attentions which the citizens of the community in which she had lived fifteen years, bestowed upon her during her late illness, gave evidence of the high respect which they entertained for her. These were gratefully appreciated by her, as she expressed to the writer and others. To her husband she was indeed a helpmeet, not only in his domestic engagements but also in his ministerial vocation. And her three children now know and feel that they have lost a mother. For more than twenty-two years she was a consistent member of the Baptist church, enjoying a lerge portion of personal piety and exerting a holy influence by her placid disposition; her punctual attendance on religious exercises, her pious conversation, and her uniform deportment. Her last illness furnished an oaccasion of putting to the test the genuineness of her piety and the sincerity of her profession. Attacked violently with that painful and alarming disease, Dysentary, which in her case baffled the skill of physicians and the power of medicine, her sufferings were indeed intense, yet not a murmur escaped her lips. The writer of this brief tribute of respect, conversed with her with regard to her future prospect, and on one occasion remarked "it is necessary that we should make outselves familiar with death, as that we may always be ready, and not be alarmed at its approach." To which she replied, " I have long ago put my trust in God and feel entirely resigned to his will, and ready to depart whenever he may call me away. Christ is precious to me as a Savior." For twelve days she bore her sufferings with great fortitude, her confidence in God growing stronger daily. The chief anxiety she manifested was to see her husband who was absent on ministerial duties, and who was enabled to return in time to witness the fortitude with which she bore her sufferings, to converse with her upon her preparations for death, and hear the exhortations she addressed individually to her children, to meet her in Heaven. For, she said " I am going there." About the rising of the sun on the morning of the Lord's day, the happy spirit of our dear sister took its flight from its earthly house up to that "building not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." She has left a husband and three children, a mother, sisters and a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn her decease. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors and their works do follow them." J.M.C. ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary In the Matter of the Last Will and Testament of Harvey H. NELSON, deceased Whereas, application has this day been made by Louisa E. NELSON, the widow of said deceased, requiring the paper purporting to contain the Last Will and Testament of the said Harvey NELSON, to be proved in due form of law.

CHEATHAM vs. Jane SIMPSON, et. al Billf for Sale of Trust and Estate Pursuant to the order of Chancellor Johnston in this case, I will sell at public outcry at Abbeville courthouse on Sale Day in August next, a likely family of negroes, viz: a woman Fanny and her five children, Charlotte, William, Sarah, David and Frank.

It is interesting that in the article below the newspaper picked up the name as "McSwain" when it was really just plain "Swain." Here is another reference to the same lawsuit. (William R. Swain was married to my great-great-grandfather's sister, Susan Watson Williams.) Carolynn Waldon from "The Wests and the Rays and Allied Lines: Southern Families from the Colonies to Texas" by Nan Overton West (FHL book 929.273 W52wn), pg. 145: "William Wyatt Swain (may be William Rosson Swain, b. 1783, who later moved to TN and MS and md. Rebecca (?) Williams dau of John Williams." and the following about William's step-mother, Anna: "Following Anna's death (7 Nov 1851) a lengthy legal case was filed in Abbeville by Joel Smith and others vs. William R. Swain and Jesse Swain. They sought to attach part of William R. Swain's inheritance to collect debts to his father-in-law, John Williams, and to Joel Smith, which William R. owed prior to his removal from Abbeville to Mississippi [Abbeville Equity Court Records, Box 15, Pkg. 411-426, South Carolina Archives -- transcript in Andrea papers]."

Dear Candace, thank you so very much for the work that you are doing for those of us who cannot get to the South Carolina records. I hope you realize what your e-mails mean to us. I live on the northwest coast, far from the actual records of my ancestors in the Carolinas. I read your e-mails carefully and have found my families' names in the abstracts.. Since my attempt to commission a professional genealogist was a disaster, having someone like you actually copy the records on-line is a great service for me and others.
