-------- Original Message -------- Subject: {not a subscriber} South Carolina Connection For Alabama McClintons Date: Tue, 3 Oct 2000 09:42:41 -0700 From: AlGaTnRay@aol.com To: <SCANDERS-L@rootsweb.com> In some genealogy research notes for the Alabama McClintons, I found the following: "Our McClinton's came from South Carolina to Alabama. It seems that Samuel mcClinton born 1800 SC, William F. McClinton born 1804 SC, Robert P. McCliton born 1807 SC, and James E. McClinton born ca. 1810 SC must be brothers or cousins as they all appear in Clarke and Marengo counties (Alabama) about the same time. There are alao Henry McClinton born 1817 SC, a Benjamin McClinton who married in Marengo County in 1839 (married at age 20 maybe - born 1819), a Nancy McCLANTON who marries there in 1834, and Mary McClinton who marries there in 1843. Miss Arrie Singleton of Bratt, FL, grandaughter of James E. McClinton, Jr., says that James McClinton, Sr. came to Alabama in 1819 with sons Samuel; James E. Jr.; Henry; Wiley (?); William F.; Robert P.; John B; Benjamin and daugheter mary. she is probably correct, but we have not proved this." I obtained the document this information is in at a McClinton reunion held in Bratt, FL on Sunday October 1, 2000 from a McClinton relative. I will inquire as to who compiled the document and when it was compiled. I would really appreciate any information or leads from anyone that can help me tie any of the above listed McClintons back to their roots and relatives in South Carolina.

Posted on: Anderson County, SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Anderson/1677 Surname: Wilhite, Baker, Hilley ------------------------- In the Old Silverbrook Cemetery, Anderson, SC are buried Cora Hilley Wilhite Baker, wife of W F Baker and two of their children Leila Augusta Baker(age 14 mos) and Cora Wilhite Baker(age 1 yr). According to the Anderson Co SC 1880 census, there were two other children left to live with the Wilhite grandparents when the mother Cora died, probably about 1879. One was Lillian Baker (age 4 in 1880) and the other was Philip W Baker (age 1 in 1880). These two grew up and are slightly remembered by aging relatives, but no one now knows what became of them. Lillian is thought to have lived at one time somewhere near Duke University in Durham NC. Does anyone know of these two children? Any leads on this family would be appreciated.

Posted on: Anderson County, SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Anderson/1665 Surname: Moon ------------------------- I am searching for information on my grandfather Paul Moon. He was born 21 Nov 1924 in South Carolina; and died 27 Aug 1986 in Honea Path, Anderson County, SC. I am hoping to find information on his parents, ancestry, and any other family members.

Anderson County, In truth, I think every thing west of the Seneca River was once claimed by Georgia, even some of southwestern North Carolina and was Cherokee lands during much of the 18th century. The resolution of the boundary involved granting the Savannah River to Georgia. The point may be moot. In any event, I have never seen a land grant or deed in Pendleton District that makes any reference to Georgia or Franklin County. Jim McConnell

Hello, Since Anderson and Oconee Counties are part of what was originally Franklin County, I am taking a shot in the dark. I am looking for anything on the HESTERLY and PENNINGTON families, who would have been the area aprox 1750-1800. I realize this is a big time period, but it is the best guess on my part. Any help, even the smallest will be gratefully appreciated. Hal Hesterly in FL

Hal, there is a Pennington list for rootsweb.com. Try it .. They are very helpful. I am almost certain that Sarah was not from Newberry Penningtons but then I could be wrong. Try Pennington search on ancestry.com also. I once belonged to the Pennington association but decided i might know as much as they did. there is a Bob Pennington that sometimes answers inquires and he is around Cherokee Co. SC. He is very knowledgable.
