Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other genealogical mailing list available, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message as quickly as possible. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding to the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.

Dear Fellow Old Edgefield District Researchers. The following Bible record was sent to me because it contained one of my key search words, Rotton. It was transcribe by Steve Stone and proves the Maiden name of Nancy Rotton, wife of John.W. Rotton, son of William Rotton and Lydia Loveless of Old Edgefield Dist, SC. John W. moved to AL. I am a desc. of John Rotton, uncle of John W., and brother to John W.'s father William. My line remained in Old Edgefield Dist, and I was born in an area of Aiken Co. that was once in Old Edgefield Dist, about 25 miles from where I find these folks. However, I do work with several William Rotton desc. and we are specifically trying to prove the father of William, John and Tarleton Rotton, and develop the next earlier generation. I was very excited when I received the information from Steve Stone. Before this, I had been sent speculations that John's wife was a Freeman or a Smith, by various researchers. But this STRONGLY supports the name TAYLOR. I received permission from Steve Stone to post these records to the various lists. I hope this helps many of you William Rotton md. Lydia Loveless folks. Steve tried to contact Carol Hardy Bryan but got back in touch and was unable to get in touch. Therefore I am posting this for him. I commend Steve on the wonderful way he described and analyzed the data. Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Transcribed in May, 2005 by: Steve A. Stone P.O. Box 1175 Pascagoula, MS 39568-1175 228-769-4906 StoneSA@supship.navy.mil Steve Stone is a Ward Taylor descendant. His decendancy: Ward Taylor: Moses Taylor: Ward Taylor II: Marion DeKalb Taylor: Fleming Moses Taylor: Lois Eustacia Taylor Stone: Steve Vance Stone: Steve A. Stone. Ward Taylor was the father of Josiah Taylor of Edgefield SC. A STUDY AND SPECULATION ON THE JOSIAH TAYLOR FAMILY BIBLE [Transcribed by Steve A. Stone] This article is a speculative analysis of the Bible I will refer to as the Josiah Taylor Family Bible. Below is a description and transcription of the Bible and its family pages, along with some assumptions and questions raised by the text. This is not definitive, and the author makes no assertion that the assumptions and conclusions are accurate. The Bible was documented by a series of 20 photographs taken by Steven E. Stone, of Alexander City AL. The photographs are available upon request to researchers of this family line. Josiah Taylor was a son of Ward Taylor of Edgefield Co. South Carolina. He was born in 1768 in Edgefield Co. and died there on October 19, 1821. He was married to Susannah Glanton, who was born in 1773, presumably in South Carolina, and died on February 22, 1860 in Heard Co. Georgia. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY: Photographs of the Bible pages were digitized by Steven E. Stone and E-mailed to the transcriber as JPEG files. Examination of each photo image was performed, using Microsoft Photo Editor to vary the image size and contrast. The transcription is a literal recording of the images, with undecipherable text noted. Handwriting analysis was performed based on examination of significant characteristics of penmanship and apparent pressure application. The examination is an amateur effort and should not be considered conclusive. FACTS ABOUT THE BIBLE: The Bible is currently in the hands of the widow of a Josiah Taylor descendant. She is not named here to safeguard her privacy. She is a resident of Alabama, and her late husband was a bona-fide member of the family. She granted access to the Bible for the purpose of transcribing and photographing it, but wishes to limit invasions of her privacy and access to this fragile book. The frontspiece of the Bible indicate that it was published by Mathew Cary & Son of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia PA in 1817. The Bible contains a concordance of the New Testament by John Brown. The covers of the Bible are mostly detached and the pages are somewhat curled and frayed on their edges, and yellowed with age. Some pages have evidence of exposure to water, but damage is not extreme. The pages are fragile, but most of the writing is clearly evident. Some pages appear to have been written on by a child who was learning to write. There are 5 family pages with text. The pages are divided vertically by a hand-drawn line, and edged with a printed beaded pattern design.

Page 1 First Column: The upper left hand quadrant was written by two different individuals, based on the unique characteristics of certain letters. The "S" in the first entry for "Silas" is formed differently from the "S" in the second entry for "Spivey" and the "S" in the fourth entry for "Silas." The "S" in the second and fourth entries are formed the same way, indicating that they were written by the same hand. The "W" in "Was" is identical in the third and fourth entries, indicating they were written by the same hand. The fifth entry in the column was written by yet another hand. The "R" in "Rotton" is very different from that of the third entry, and also, the third entry spells the name with one "t", whereas the fifth entry shows two. The last entry of the column is dissimilar from any of the others. The hand is not as neat. But there are distinctive double-lines in the capitals for the words "Louisa" and "Born." Second Column: The first entry evidences the same "S" and "W" style as that shown in the second, third and fourth entries of the First Column. The capital "T" in "Taylor" is made exactly the same as the one shown in the fourth entry of the First Column. This entry appears to be from the same person. The second entry does not match the writing style of any of the other entries on the page. The third entry shows similarities to the fifth entry of the First Column, in that the capital "R" in "Rotton" appears similar, as does the "W" in "Was," which has a peculiar tail. The "y" in "year" is very similar, and both entries have a distinctive curl in the final stroke of the letter "d" in "Lord." The conclusion is that these two entries were made by the same hand. The fourth entry is not clear enough to determine distinctive characteristics of hand. The last three entries of the page were certainly made by the same hand. The tone and clarity of the ink, size of the script, and near-exact replication of the style of the hand indicates the entries were made at the same time. Page 2 All entries on the page were written by the same person. The handwriting is distinctly different from any of those appearing on Page 1. The script is bold, large and clear. The spelling of "bornd," the inconsistence of capitalization of the months of the year, and the consistency with the small-case "lord" are distinctive. Page 3 First Column: This entire column was a continuation of Page 2 entries, and was evidently done by the same hand at the same time. Second Column: The column is written by several different people, with entries at different times. The entries were made after-the fact, as evidenced by the lack of chronological sequence to the dates. The first, second and third entries were made by the same person. The appearance of the letter formation in the word "born" is consistent and the formation of the numerals in the year entries is also consistent. The handwriting is overall consistent with that of the author of the last three entries on Page 1, Second Column. The second and third entries may have been made on the same day, based on the degree of similarity in the script. But, the first entry is in a different ink and appears to have been entered at an earlier time. The entry for Oren Swilvan is difficult to analyze. The handwriting appears very similar to the entries on Page 2 and the First Column of Page 3, but the distinctive loop on the letter "d" in the word "Lord" indicate it could be a different hand. Also, all entries for Josiah Taylor's children have a lower case "l" in the word "lord." The next most similar handwriting is on Page 1 in the first column. The entry for Josiah Rotton shows the same loop in each "d" and the word "Lord" is capitalized. It cannot be conclusively determined that they were by the same hand, but these two entries are the only ones that appear with the two distinctive characteristics noted. However, the first entry on Page 4 noting the death of Wily Taylor appears to have been made by the same person who wrote the Swilvan entry. The Wily Taylor entry also exhibits the exact same formation of the letter "T" in "Taylor" as for all the entries on Page 2 and the First Column of Page 3. The conclusion is that all the entries noted herein were made by the same hand. The fifth entry on the page, "Elisa Beth Spivey," appears to be a unique entry. The "loop-back" characteristic of the "W" in the word "was" is very distinctive, as is the cross-loop of the letter "A" in "April." These characteristics are not seen in any other entry. However, upon closer examination, the "S" in "Spivey is made exactly as the "S" in "Susan" in the fifth entry on Page 1, the word "born" is written exactly as the same word in the last three entries of Page 1 and the first three of this column, leading to a conclusion that the same person wrote all these entries. The final entry of the page bears remarkable similarity to the entries on Page 4, Second Column listing all the "Rotten" children. It is likely that this entry was done by the same person. Also, the entries are all faded, and could either be pencil or a very light ink. Page 4 First Column: The first entry of the page is discussed in the Page 3, Second Column discussion regarding the entry for Oren Swilvan. The second and third entries were made by the same person; possibly at the same time. The ink appears to be the same hue and have the same degree of fade. The "T' in "Taylor" and the "D" in "Died" are made exactly the same way, with distinctive characteristics to each. The first entry bears the same characteristics in the "S" in "September" as the second, third and fourth entries of Page 1, First Column, and the first entry of Page 1, Second Column. The conclusion is that the same person who made the Page 1 entries also made these. The fourth entry of this page, marking the death of Silas Taylor, appears unique. The characteristics of the capitals "L," "T," "A," and "D" are not seen in any other entry. Also unique is the formation of the numeral "8." Second Column: The Second Column contains entries from three different hands. All entries in this column were made by the same person. The "B" in "Born" of the first entry matches the script style of the "B" in "Birth" of the second, third, fourth and ninth. The ink appears to be the same, as does the pen pressure. No entries on any other page appear to have been made by the person who wrote these. The capitals are distinct, with similarities shared by several entries with the formation of the letters "J" and "R." The last name is spelled "Rotten," which is repeated consistently through the entries. The last entry on the page was written in a different ink, and with a different pen, but the characteristic "step" in the formation of the capital "R" in "Rotten" as well as the formation of the "B" in "Born" and the formation of the word "the" indicate the same hand No other page has entries by this hand. Page 5 There are actually 2 entries for this page. One is a pencil copy of the ink entry; probably done by a child. The entry on the page documents Jonathan Holston Almon's birth. The handwriting is unique to the Bible pages, indicating it was the only entry made by the writer. The script is very even and controlled. The spelling of "Almon" is correct, according to the accepted version of his name, unlike the double-l spelling (Allmon) of the other family entries. Capitalization and the comma inserted in the date give an impression that the writer was well educated. CONJECTURES AND QUESTIONS: The Bible appears to have changed hands several times. Or, it was held in communion among several of Josiah's children. The entries are not consistent with respect to dates, indicating that some entries were made years after the fact. On Page 1, the first Almon entry is for Nancy Ann, though the citation doesn't include her last name. She was born in 1830, but the Allmon entries that follow are in chronological order, starting with Susan, who was born in 1824. The fact that only 1 of Josiah Taylor's several wives was mentioned by name - Mary Brown, on Page 3, First Column, may indicate that the entries for Josiah's family were made by one of Mary's children. Conjecture is that the Penelope Taylor and Jarol (Jerald?) Taylor entered in above Mary Brown Taylor, were children of Silas. If fact, it may lend credence to the notion that the Bible was owned by Silas. The entry of Mary Brown Taylor at the bottom of the family list for Josiah Taylor could indicate that the Bible was originally kept by her, and that she passed it to either daughter Delaney or Elizabeth, who made subsequent entries and passed it down through their families. This author believes the Bible was given to Delaney and Jonathan Holston Almon, based on it 's known recent history. The Bible raises several questions beside who originally owned it: 1) Who were the 3 unnamed wives of Silas Taylor? 2) Were Penelope and Jerol Taylor children of Silas, or of another member of the family? 3) Who was Marthy Glanton, and how was she related? 4) Who was Oren Swilvan, and how was he related? 5) Who was Virginia Louisa Spivey?

I am posting my response back to what I hope is the original sender and the Aiken, Barnwell, and Edgefield,South Carolina, and Richmond County, Georgia, e-mail lists all to which I subscribe because the query mentions all of these areas. Owens is definitely an old Barnwell District(names changed from districts to counties after 1865)South Carolina, surname. The Owens along with a lot of other families lived in that area of Barnwell County that was taken over by the Atomic Energy Commission and its successors in the early 1950's for the Savannah River Project. On old maps this is the Upper Three Runs area. There are a number of people on these lists who are researching families from this area. I am finding more and more, after 38 years of research, that there was a lot of migration about and within these areas and over to Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, and into other surrounding counties. Cousins and neighbors married each other back and forth like "crazy." Several people of one family would marry several people from another family making lots od double cousins down the line, etc. I have a double Toole line in the Barnwell SRP area and some of the Tooles married Owens. Keziah(various spellings Kisanna/h etc.)Toole b. 1832 married George McDonald (G.M.)Owen/s b.c. 1833 sometime prior to 1863 when George McDonald Owen/s was the administrator on the estate of her father, Stephen Toole, Sr. You can find this family on the 1870 and 1800 Barnwell Census. She was a whole sister to my double ancestor, Richard I. Manning A Toole who married Mary D. Green shortly after 1850 census. The Greens are still a "stonewall." My double ancestor was called "Manning" and referred to in records as R.I.M. Toole. Richard I. Manning was an early S. C. Governor I later found out. The initial "I" threw me for years because it often looked like or was written like a "J." I have some children for George McDonald Owens and Keziah Toole entered into my genealogy computer program, but nothing else on him. I probably have other information buried in my paper files which might take me days and weeks to find. You can find G. M. and Keziah Toole Owens on the 1870 and 1800 Barnwell census. Please let me know if you or anyone reading this on the lists finds proof of any other Tooles/Owen mariages or any Toole connections that I might not have found. I get the impression from reading the original posting that the researcher is relatively new to research in this area and noter very far back on her lines in this area. I am suggesting some good research sources for you to check for information on these area families, of course, other thatn the standard courthouse searches. One is the Manning Papers at the U. of S. C. in Columbia, The Caroliniana (sp?) Library. The other is the published cemetery surveys of Aiken County and the moved cemeteries that were published by the archeaology (sp?) teams for the SRP. You can buy the Aiken County Cem. Books from the Aiken-Barnwell Gen Soc. For more information about the SRP cemetery books, I suggest you contact Tonya Taylor at the Old Edgefield Gen Soc. Archives Building in Edgefield, Edgefield County, South Carolina. She was Tonya Browder when she worked on these cemetery books and two other books published by SRP. Either as a graduate student or paid employee I am not sure. SRP books were free at the time I got mine. The addresses I had are probably out of date or they are out of print. I traded a Georgia church minute book I had done to a worker at the Barnwell County/City Library for a copy of the SRP New Ellenton Book that happened to be left over from a workshop that Tonya or one of her co-workers had done there. That was about five years ago. I have had the other SRP books much longer than that. Hope this information helps. This response is my random act of genealogical kindness for the day.

Regarding Bodie graves in Wagener area of Aiken County, there are several Bodies buried in a private cemetery on Rocky Grove Church Rd. near the town of Salley, SC. Rocky Grove Rd. is off Highway 330 between the towns of Salley and Perry (Wagener is the town past Perry on 330). Bodie names on tombstones include: Arthur Clifton Bodie b 3/23/1898, d 6/15/1899 (s/o J. T. & Annie M. Bodie - might Mary's first name be Annie?) John T. Bodie, b 5/20/1848, d 3/6/1911 Mary Bodie, b 10/27/1846, d 12/19, 1896 (wife of J. T. Bodie) Josiah Bodie, b 10/9/1872, d 8/21/1874 (s/o J. T. & Mary) Nolie Bodie, b 10/24/1904, d 1/15/1906 (d/o J. A. & Hattie Bodie) Rebecca Bodie, b 10/14/1877, d 6/15/1872 (d/o J. T. & Mary) There were two more Bodie graves I didn't record. Also several graves with cement blocks marking head and foot but no info. The cemetery is overgrown and in poor shape. It is a small private cemetery with about 25 gravestones and is located some distance off a paved Rocky Grove Rd. To reach the cemetery one must go down a dirt road that has become overgrown. The property was recently timbered, and the dirt track was no longer passable by car when I was last there June 2005. Other names in cemetery: Axson, Cooper, Smith, Courtney, Williams, Ables. Pat Bonneau Seneca, SC I'm researching the following families: Allison, Axson/Axon, Blume, Bryant/Wright, Champanare, Cook, Cooper, Corbitt, Courtney, DeLoach, Fanning, Fogartie, Gunter, Hill, Hook, Johnson, McColphen, Mills, Pool/Poole, Walker, Watkins, Wells, Whetstone, Williamson and Ellis.

Is Pine Grove Cemetery included in the 4 volumes of Aiken County Cemeteries? I am searching for my grandparents's graves. Their death certificates indicate burial in Pine Grove (Baptist Church?) Cemetery. James Robert (Rob) Hatcher, born Aug 20, 1881 in Darlington County SC, died December 30, 1926 in Bath SC. Mamie L. (Bucky) Weeks Hatcher, born April 8, 1888 in Sumter SC, died April 30, 1933 in Bath SC. Both worked in the mills. The 1910 Census for Langley Township indicates children Freddie (age 2) and Willie (age 4 months), but these children are not listed in 1920 and I don't think they survived. They later had 2 other children who did survive (but are now deceased): Ruby, born around 1911, and James Brantley (Buddy), born 1921, died 1959. Does anyone know anything about these folks?
