I found the following in the minutes for the Anderson Co. Court of General Sessions. Harvin Vandiver (b. 1804) was a Baptist preacher, son of the Rev. John Vandiver. This D. K. Breazeale was likely b. 1834, son of Williamson Breazeale. All the witnesses lived in the Belton area of Anderson County. My question is: who was murdered? kimwilson@mail.utexas.edu ----------- SCDAH #AN 429, Anderson Co. SC, Sessions Journal, 1859-74, 29 May 1872, State vs. Wm. M. Davenport and Harvin Vandiver, Indictment murder. (Original indictment also included David K. Breazeale and Robert Vandiver.) State's wits: W. S. Norris, Z. D. Chamblee, E. K. Pepper, W. L. Davis, E.

Kaye - I have a copy of a lineage chart from the Greenville Chapter of the S.C. Genealogical Society that shows an Alfred Willingham b. 1817, married Martha. Son Alfred Lewis Willingham b. Jan 1844, d.Nov 1910, buried in Belton Baptist Cem.; married Nancy P. Willingham in Sep 1865. Her father was John Newton Willingham, mother Nancy Marcus. Alfred L. and NancyP. had a son John Franklin, b. 1869 in Anderson Co., d. 1952, buried in Belton Cem. He married Nancy Elizabeth King of Whitefield, Anderson Co. Their son William Burris Willingham was born Jun 1898 in Hopewell, d.1970, buried at Belton also. He married Bessie Martin of Easley. and they had a daughter Sara Jane Willingham. This was submitted in 1997 by Sarah Willingham Thompson of Belton, S.C. Don't know if these are any ones you want, but I have a cousin named Willingham, and the name caught my eye. Betty Alleman

Vandiver, _History of Anderson County_, p. 42: "One of the negro members [of Big Creek Baptist church] named Caesar was rather an unusual character. He was a preacher of considerable influence. He had been a slave who saved enough to buy his own freedom, and later bought his brother. The land just above the place where Rush and Vandiver's planing mill once stood, was owned by Caesar. He was buried in a field just in the rear of the old Williamston Female College buildings." ------- 1) Does anyone know where the old Rush and Vandiver's planing mill once stood? 2) Is Caesar's grave marked behind the old Williamston Female College buildings? 3) Does anyone know which surname Caesar took, or the name of his brother? Thank you, Kim

Everyone should know that the mail below is some kind of hoax. I sent my familyhistory.com spam letter to the email listed below (abuse@prodigy.com) and it was returned because this is not a valid email address. This should not have been posted to a genealogy site to begin with. I am very confused as to why the sender posted this spam. It appears that several of the Rootsweb email groups have been getting this. Please do not pass it on yourself to anyone.
