NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE BANNER", Abbeville, South Carolina for JUNE 1850 NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JUNE 1, 1850 DISTRESSING CASUALTY Mrs. DICKSON, the wife of Rev. Hugh DICKSON, was thrown from a horse on Thursday the 16th of May and fractured both bones in her left leg near the ankle. This was complicated with a complete dislocation of the ankle joint and a division of the soft parts for two thirds distance around the joint. An attempt was made to save the foot, but the injury was so extensive that gangrene commenced 4 or 5 days after the injury, which, it was greatly feared would prove fatal, as she is 64 years of age. The physicians in attendance succeeded in arresting its progress, however they were enabled on Thursday last to amputate the limb, which she bore much better than was feared. Mrs. Dickson is a woman of extraordinary fortitude and we trust she may ultimately recover. ----------- NOTICE TO CREDITORS All persons having demands against the estate of John G.

Special thanks to Candace Gravelle, I have put many of the "Abbeville Banner" Abstracts up on the SCGenWeb Abbeville website. The abstracts are done in a .PDF format, if you do not have Adobe Reader, there is a link on the page to get it. This is still new, so don't look for perfection, but it is up and functioning, will refine it more as I go. For those who do not know the address to the Abbeville County website, it is; http://www.rootsweb.com/~scabbevi/ , and the link is right on the main page under the "Notable" section.

NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE ABBEVILLE BANNER", Abbeville, South Carolina for JANUARY 1849 , FEBRUARY 1849, JULY 1849 & AUGUST 1849 NEWSPAPER Issue of Saturday, JANUARY 6, 1849 MARRIAGES Married on Thursday evening the 4th inst. by the Rev. James Moore, Mr. Jas. IRWIN to Miss Charlotte IRWIN, both of this District. Married on the evening of the 19th ult. by the Rev. T.L. McBryde, Mr. M.B. KENNEDY to Miss Eliza BARKSDALE, all of this District. Married on the evening of the 21st ult. by Samuel Reid, Esq., Mr. Thomas BOTTS to Miss Matilda RIGHT, both of this District. --------- OBITUARY DIED, on the morning of the 27th ult., at the residence of his brother in this village, Lieut. Patrick NOBLE, aged 27 years. The subject of this notice, at an early age of his life, having been inspired with his love of military arms, and desirous of cultivating this spirit of his childhood, entered the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he developed to an extraordinary degree, the predominate features of his mind, and graduated with distinction to himself with honor to his country. After finishing his education the same spirit which moved him in his youth still urged him in manhood. We next hear of him in that celebrated march of General Kearney's to California, distinguished for sufferings and privations of the camp, and fare. We find him there in the foremost of danger in the Indian Warfare, with the confidence of his commander. He was competent in any emergencies, and was called by him the bold, daring and dashing dragoon." It was owing to this march that he was prevented from mingling in the late glorious and brilliant achievements of our arms in Mexico, but it is sufficient that no one regretted it more than himself. It was however, in obedience to an order, sought and requested by him to join a portion of his Regiment in the City of Mexico , that he incurred this disease together with the lamended Kearney, at Vera Cruz, which eventually terminated fatally. Thus has passed one of South Carolina's bravest and best of soldiers, after six years arduous and laborious service in his country. His relatives who are left to mourn their untimely loss, must have the consolation to know that on account of his undaunted courage, a firmness that never shrunk from duty, an affable and gentlemanly deportment and a generous and kind hospitality, encircled around his campfire many near and devoted friends who together with their country, feel his loss. ---------- SALE OF REAL ESTATE OF WILLIAM PYLES, Dec'd James F.

Affliction had been her lot for many years which she bore as also her last severe illness, with patience and resignation and her end was peace. Rarely has the writer met with an instance of such chastened meekness and humility; in whom there was more of the "law of kindness in her tongue". In all the relations of life, she was faithful and kind, and I need scarcely add, that she was beloved.

WILSON who died in Mexico, took place at Upper Long Cane Church on the 22nd ult. and was attended by a large concourse of people, who came up with sad hearts to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed one. The procession was formed in the village about 10 o'clock, consisting of the Abbeville Light Infantry, of which the deceased was a member; and the brethren of Hiram and Clinton Lodges, the Rev. James Moore acting as Master of Ceremonies, next followed the citizens generally in carriages and on horseback. In this order they moved to the church where after prayer by the Rev. D.M. Turner, Lieut. Jas. M. PERRIN pronounced a chaste and beautiful eulogy upon the life and character of the deceased. Lieut. PERRIN was his intimate friend in Mexico, watched over him in his sickness and administered to his wants, and finally saw him breathe his last in the land of the stranger. The address was full of feeling and in every way worthy of him for whom it was pronounced. In order to show something of the character of the son, it was necessary to look back to the parents and we would find in the deceased a verification of the proverb, "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older he will not depart from it." His father was born in the county of Antrim, in Ireland; his father was a Convenanter or Presbyterian. At the age of six years he emigrated with his father to this country and settled a farm on Calhoun's Creek, in this District, and died about the commencement of the Revolutionary struggle. At this death, he left two sons, James and Matthew WILSON, the father of the deceased. James being grown, took an active part in the Revolution. He belonged to that independent and patriotic band of partizans who, in the darkest hour of South Carolina's gloom, never desponded. Chased and hunted down by the Tories, who had laid waste our country and bathed it in blood, he and his companions were compelled to make their homes in the forest, returning to visit their families only by stealth. They, however, permitted no opportunity to pass without retaliating upon the foe, and when he least expected it, dashed like a thunder bolt upon him. It was in a rencounter like this that James WILSON and his comrades were overpowered and shamefully put to death. Mathew WILSON was at that time only 15 years old, too young to bear arms in his country's cause, but not too young to serve her. For a long time he was bearer of dispatches from one Whig post to another, a position of great difficulty and danger. After the close of the war he returned to the home of his mother, she having married Robt. BELL. Soon afterwards, he married Elizabeth CALDWELL, a daughter of Jas. CALDWELL, also an imigrant from Protestant Ireland, and settled on Cahoun's Creek and was amongst the first settlers of that portion in our District. He was a member of the Upper Lone Cane Church and one if its strongest pillars; was an elder under Rev. Mr. Wilson and during the pastorship of the lamented Dr. Barr. He had a family of 12 children, 6 sons and as many daughters, all of whom lived to be grown. He died in 1835 in the 67th year of his age. Matthew Hervey WILSON, the youngest of the family, was born on the 7th day of April 1812. He received a good English and classical education from his cousin Robert McMURTRY, when he returned to his father to assist him in the management of the farm. After the death of his father, he still remained with his mother, his brothers and sisters having settled and married....(page torn)........... to break up housekeeping and live with her daughter Mrs. Reid. The deceased then moved to Mississippi and followed the occupation of farming until 1845 when he returned to this district and commenced the study of Law with his brother, and shortly afterward was admitted to the Bar. When the State was called on for Volunteers for the Mexican War, he was among the first to enroll his name. He was attached to the Abbeville Volunteers and served as Sergeant until the Army reached Puebla, where his health failed him and he was honorably discharged. Unable to return home in consequence of communications being cut off, he followed on with the Army and died in the city of Mexico on the 13th of December 1847. At the close of the Eulogy, the procession was again formed and moved to the place of interment where he was buried with Masonic and Military Honors. ----------- OBITUARY DIED, on the 13th and 17th of August, William and Mary COVIN. The age of the former was 21 years, 1 month, 5 days, and the latter, 18 years, 7 months and 4 days. --------- SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, James STERLING has applied for Letters of Aministration on the estate of Ephraim STERLING, who died in the Mexican War and was attached to Co.

This is a wonderful service you are doing. Thank you. I am wondering what the earliest date of the newspapers that you are posting is? Most of my people left Abbeville in the late 1830s and early 1840s. Thank you very much for doing this. ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

The deceased was a native of Ireland and emigrated to this country some between before the commencement of hostilities. At the age of 15 he took up arms with the colonies against the mother country and fought with that noble band of heroes through the War of the Revolution, achieving for their descendants those liberties which they now enjoy. After peace was declared, he settled on Calhoun's Creek in this District where he resided until 1831, when he removed to Troup county, Georgia, and again in '42 or '43, to Alabama where he finished his earthly pilgrimage, leaving 9 children, 36 grandchildren and 23 great grandchildren. ----------- MARRIAGES Married in this District on the evening of the 10th inst. by Dr. F. Branch, Mr. Aquilla F.P. DOUGLASS to Miss Rebecca HINTON. ---------- CITATION South Carolina, Abbeville District Court of Ordinary Whereas, L.T. SHOEMAKE has applied for Letters of Administration on the estate of L.G. SHOEMAKE, deceased; this is to cite all kindred and creditors of said dec'd to appear in the Court of Ordinary to be held at Abbeville courthouse on the 28th inst. to show cause why said Administration should not be granted. This 12th of February, 1848, David Lesly, Ordinary --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, FEBRUARY 23, 1848 UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT We regret to learn that Richard WATSON, one of the gallant soldiers of the Forlorn Hope at the storming of Chapultepec has met with a serious accident. He had recovered sufficiently from his wounds, to walk about without much inconvenience to himself, and in riding out last week, his horse ran away with the buggy, throwing him out upon his wounded leg, which has injured it very much indeed. He informed us that the sufferings he experienced from his wounds were nothing in comparison to this. ---------- MARRIAGES Married in this District on Thursday the 17th inst., by the Rev. James M. Chiles, Mr. M.W. COLEMAN to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Larkin REYNOLDS. Married in this District on Thursday the 17th inst. by the Rev. Thos. L. McBryde, Capt. R.L. HARDEN to Miss Mary BOWEN. Married in Anderson district on Thursday evening the 13th ult. by the Rev. W.P. Martin, Mr. N.C. MATTISON to Miss Mary Emaline, daughter of Phillip LEE. Married in Anderson district on Thursday evening the 10th inst., by the Rev. W.P. Martin, Mr. Jesse P. MAGEE to Miss Lucinda E., daughter of James EMERSON. ------- OBITUARIES DIED, on Friday morning the 18th inst. at the residence of her son-in-law Thomas L. Hill in this District, Mrs. Obedience LIPFORD, in the 76th year of her age. On the morning before she died, she appeared to be in her usual health. About 10 o'clock she complained of pain in her breast. Medical aid was procured but to no purpose; her probationary state was about to close, and in about 24 hours her spirit left its mortal clay to appear before the Judge of all the earth. The deceased was for a number of years an acceptable member of the M.E. Church. ------ DIED, on the morning of the 16th inst. at the residence of James Carson, in the 43rd year of his age, Mr. Robert RICHEY, a native of this District but recently of Jefferson Co. Fla. Influenced by a laudable ambition, to secure a competence for his young and rising family, he had purchased a home upon the fertile plains of Florida, where he hoped he would soon be surrounded with all the comforts of this life. But alas, the destroyer came. Sickness seized upon himself and family and cast its gloom and shade over all his cherished hopes. With a heavy heart, he returned to this District, where his affectrionate wife and numerous friends were anxiously awaiting his arrival. That insidious disease, a chronic diarrhea, had seized upon his vitals and unconsciously to himself, he had but returned to be buried, by the graves of his parents. Some weeks before his death, he became deeply impressed with the necessity of securing an interest in the ever blessed Savior, and often and earnestly did he pray for the spiritual applicaton of his atoning blood. We rejoice that we have every reason to believe that he obtained the forgiveness of his sins, and that while we shed the tear of sorrow over his mortal remains, his immortal spirit is trimphantly happy in the presence of his Savior and his God. The writer of this brief notice knew him and loved him well and had recently partaken of his hospitality at his Florida home. All that a husband, father, brother, friend could be in kindness, fondness, affection and aver abiding constancy, he was. He left no enemies in this world, and we rejoice in the prospect that he will meet with none in the world to come. ----------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, MARCH 1, 1848 TRIBUTE OF RESPECT At a meeting of the East Beat Company of the 6th Regiment, S. C. M., held at its muster ground, on the 19th ultimo, for the purpose of paying a tribute of respect to the memory of Jesse M. NORWOOD, Capt. P. Jones was called to the chair and K. Vance requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman reported the following Preamble and Resolutions: Whereas, it has pleased God to take from his brave companions at arms, at Puebla in July last, Jesse M. NORWOOD, one of our company and an Abbeville Volunteer, who was a sober, industrious and useful citizen. Therefore, be it resolved; that we heard with deep regret of the death of Jesse M. NORWOOD, in whose death this Company has lost an ornament, and Abbeville District a useful citizen. Resolved; that in respect to his memory, we will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days. Resolved; that we deeply sympathise with the family of the deceased and that in token thereof, a copy of these proceedings be forwarded to them. K. Vance, Secretary P. Jones, Chairman ------------- OBITUARY DIED, at Puebla, Mexico on the 25th of August last, in the 19th year of his age, Theodore Pinckney SIMMONS, the only son of Enoch SIMMONS of this District. The deceased was a young man of excellent moral character, possessing in an eminent degree those traits which endeared him to his friends and acquaintances. At the age of fourteen he professed his faith in Christ and united with the Baptist church at Mount Moriah, forming an instance of the exemplification of the Prophet's remarks, "it is good for man that he bears the yoke in his youth." His conduct gave abundant proof that he was what he professed to be, a christian, which is the highest style of man. He was also a patriot, for when his country called for the services of her sons to defend her rights against the invasion of a foreign foe, he volunteered his services and leaving his affectionate parents and sisters, joined the Company of this District, under command of Capt. Marshall and marched for the battle field. Thus foregoing the comforts of home, to share in the privations, hardships and dangers of a soldier's life. In common with his fellow soldiers he suffered greatly from the diseases of the climate. These sufferings he bore with christian fortitude until they terminated in death. He has left a father, mother, six sisters and a few more relatives and numerous friends to mourn this sad calamity. It is the statement of the bereaved father that they "sorrow not as those with no hope" for he was an orderly member of the church, giving satisfactory evidence of the sincerity of his profession by a well ordered life and godly conversion. He was a dutiful son, a faithful and affectionate brother, a benevolent friend and respected by all who knew him. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." ---------- STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court of Equity Jane ROBINSON, Frederick ROBINSON and others vs. Rebecca BOGGS, Henry ROBINSON and others Bill for Partition and Accounting It appearing that Henry ROBINSON, James ROBINSON, Presly ROBINSON, the widow and children of Samuel ROBINSON, deceased, David McCREARY, Mary McCREARY and her children, Mary Ann McCREARY, William McCREARY and Joseph McCREARY, defendants in this case, reside without the limits of this State. It is ordered that the above named defendants do plead, answer or demur to said Bill of Complaint within three months from the publication of this order, or a judgment will be taken Pro Confesso against them.

JORDAN has applied for Letters of Administration on the estate of John WHITE, deceased; this is therefore to cite all kindred and creditors of said dec'd to appear in the Court of Ordinary at Abbeville courthouse on the third Monday in January to show cause why said Administration should not be granted. This 3rd day of January 1848. David Lesly, Ordinary ---------- ADMINISTRATOR'S NOTICE I do hereby notify those having demands against the estate of Archibald ARNOLD, deceased, to appear at the Abbeville courthouse on Tuesday the first day of February next, as that is the day on which the estate will be finally closed in the Ordinary's office. Those having demands not already presented will present them previous to that time either to me or to the Ordinary. Those indebted either by accounts or notes will please come forward and settle, as indulgence no longer can or will be given. James A. ARNOLD, Administrator, Jan. 5, 1848 ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, JANUARY 12, 1848 THE GALLANT DEAD The remains of Col. BUTLER and Lieut. Col. DICKINSON arrived on the steamer New Orleans and have been carried on to Columbia, also those of Sergt. MATISON of the Abbeville Company but we have not ascertained as yet what disposition has been made of them. They were not in Hamburg when the remains of Lt. J.B. MORAGNE were removed. ------- LIEUT. JNO. B. MORAGNE The remains of this gallant young officer were received in this place on Monday last. The citizens being informed that the body was some little distance from the village, immediately collected in front of the Court House and formed a procession which moved in solemn order, preceeded by the hearse some mile below the village where it met the remains. They were then removed from the wagon to the hearse and the procession returned with them to the village. At 7 o'clock in the evening, a large meeting was held at Mrs. Allen's where the remains were deposited, to consider the most suitable manner of honoring the dead. A Committee was appointed to wait upon the family and inform them of the fact and to confer with them as to the time and place of his burial. The Rev. D. McNeil Turner being called upon by the Chairman of the meeting, Mr. Perrin made some very feeling and appropriate remarks upon the occasion. It was with no ordinary feelings that we gazed upon the coffin containing the mortal remains of his noble young officer; when more than twelve months ago, he left this place with the most flattering prospects before him; little did he or his friends expect that his return to this country would be under such melancholy circumstances. His life has been offered upon the altar of his country. In the battles of Coutreras and at the storming of Chapultepec and the Garita, he was distinguished for his coolness and bravery, and nobly fell at his post. Let us now give him a "green grave in the land of his fathers" and ever cherish his memory in our hearts. ------------ FUNERAL OF LT. J.B. MORAGNE The remains of Lieut. J.B. MORAGNE will be interred at Willington church on Thursday the 20th inst. A funeral discourse will be delivered by the Rev. D. McNeil Turner at 12 o'clock, immediately after which the burial will take place with suitable Military Honors. The day previous, the remains will be conveyed from the village to Mt. Carmal, attended by the Abbeville Light Infantry. At 10 o'clock, Thursday the 20th, the funeral procession will be formed at Mount Carmal under command of Col. Tolman. The Abbeville Light Infantry and the Artillery will be in attendance and act as escort. The two companies of Cavalry attached to the Regiment are invited to join the procession and attend the funeral, as also the Militia, the Military and the citizens generally. J.F. LIVINGSTON B.Y. MARTIN J.H. WILSON ----------- CORRESPONDENCE TO THE BANNER National Palace, Mexico October 28, 1847 Mr. Editor, As an opportunity now offers of sending letters to the States, I feel it is my duty, although painful as it is, to communicate through your paper to those of our friends who have always taken a deep interest in the fate of the Abbeville Volunteers, the deaths of those young spirits who so nobly and gallantly came forward last December and tendered their services to their country. An All-Wise God destined that large majority of those who have died, should not fall on the bloody battle fields, but under the malignant diseases of the country. Would that the bitter cup of dying in a foreign land, without even the consolation of seeing those who could have soothed their suffering in the last hour, could have been removed; but they yielded up their lives a willing sacrifice upon the altar of their country, thereby erecting for themselves a monument more lasting than that made by human hands. Others have fallen upon the bloody yet victorious battle fields of Chapultepec and the Garita Belen. In the charge upon Chapultepec and whilest driving the enemy from the Garita Belen, they were conspicuous for their coolness and gallantry under the heavey fire of grape and canister, and by their fall, their native District has been deprived of some of her best citizens, as well as the Abbeville Volunteers of some of our best officers and soldiers. Though they are dead, yet the name of MORAGNE, of MATTISON, of DEVLIN and PATRICK, will long be remembered by the citizens of their native district. Some have been discharged in counsequence of disease incurred in the service, yet I am proud to say that their services have been rendered in a foreign service under severe afflictions, with such promptitude and devotion that can only be equalled by Carolinians. It affords me much pleasure to say that the rank and file, under my command, behaved during the storming of Chapultepec and the driving of the enemy from the Garita Belen, with great coolness and evinced a determination under the heavy fire of grape and canister which fell in our midst like hail, to conquer or die in the attempt. Although many have fallen and many more severely wounded, yet the few that are still left under my command deserve much of their country in common with the Regiment, and I take pleasure in recommending them individually to the favorable consideration of the citizens of their native District for the efficient service rendered in the battles before the city of Mexico. Lieut. SELLECK who has been acting as Lieut. of the Ordnance, came out and took his post and behaved with great coolness and gallantry during the storming of Chapultepec and the driving the enemy from the Garita Belen. Lieut. STEWART, though he is no more, yet true to the reputation he had acquired for himself while acting as Orderly, was at his post during the battle of Contreras and rendered me great assistance during the engagement. The following are the Rank and File who behaved with great credit to themselves during the storming of Chapultepec and the advance upon the Garita Belen: Sergt. HIGGINS Sergt. BEALL Corpl.

This 13rd of Jan. 1848. David Lesly, Ordinary ----------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Wednesday, JANUARY 26, 1848 ANOTHER DEATH We regret to learn by a letter received here recently from Mexico, that another of the gallant spirits who left in the Abbeville Company has found a grave in Mexico, M.H. WILSON. He was a young man of noble principle and commanded the respect and esteem of all who knew him. At Puebla he was discharged from disability but his health being somewhat restored before the Army left the Capitol, he determined not to leave his comrades in arms and followed them to the city, where he was again attacked with chronic diarrhea and died on the 13th ultimo. ----------- TRIBUTE OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF M.H. WILSON At a meeting of the Abbeville Bar, held on the 24th instant, B.Y. Martin was called to the chair and W.A. Lee requested to act as Secretary. Mr. Perrin explained the object of the meeting. After alluding to the beautiful features which formed the character of the deceased, his high moral worth, his firm adherence to principle, the suavity and courtesy of his manners and his amiable deportment in every relation in life, he submitted the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Matthew Harvey WILSON, Esq. having died on the 13th of December last, in the City of Mexico, it becomes our sad privilege and duty to render some testimonial of regard for his worth, and in common with his many friends, to mourn his loss. He was a young man of rare endowments. His character was a beautiful whole, in which the high purpose and inflexible principles of the man were blended with the softness and simplicity of the child. The kindness of his heart and the generosity of his disposition endeared him to a large circle of friends, whilst his rare moral worth, and the manly independence of his character commanded their respect and esteem. Amiable and courteous in his intercourse with his fellow men, with clear perceptions of right and wrong, he was firm and unyielding in his principle. As a friend he was warm and true, as a soldier brave and chivalrous, and as a lawyer, though he had just entered his profession, his many amiable qualities combined with a clear perception and strong intellect, gave indications of future usefulness and distinction. Resolved, that we deeply deplore the loss of one so highly gifted as our deceased friend. Resolved, that we sympathize with the family of the deceased in their sad bereavement. Resolved, that it is a consolation to us to be assured that although our deceased friend died in a foreign land far from home and kindred, he was yet surrounded with all the comforts and consolations, which friends in that trying hour could render. Resolved, that the family of the deceased be furnished a copy of these proceedings. Resolved, that the proceedings of this meeting be published in The Banner. B.Y. Martin, Chairman W.A. Lee, Secretary ------------- MARRIAGES Married on the evening of the 18th inst., at the residence of David Wardlaw, by Dr. F. Branch, Mr. William ADAMS to Miss Agnes D.

MAYS, consort of Meedy MAYS Sr., leaving a devoted husband, nine children and many other relatives and friends to lament her death. The deceased was indeed pious and in her last hours expressed a willingness to depart and be with Christ; thus, while she has gone to join the countless millions of people of the mighty dead, her immortal spirit has been transferred from the kingdom of grace to the kingdom of glory. --------- EXECUTOR'S SALE Willb be sold on the 28th inst. at the house of Andrew MANTZ, one road wagon, a horse, 2 or 3 bales of cotton, some cattle, hogs and corn, the Estate of Mary STEIFLE, deceased.
