Posted on: Anderson County, SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Anderson/1465 Surname: Brown, Phillips, Dickinson, Robertson, Skelton ------------------------- Who is the father of William Penn Brown (son of Alamine Atkins) and John Brown (son of Catherine LaFoy George) listed in the Will of John Brown of Anderson Co., SC in 1851? (For Reference - See Will Book B, page 354 - Anderson Co., SC). This John Brown (writer of the will) was married to a Mary Bell. She died in 1846. Both are buried in the First Presbyterian Churchyard, Anderson, S. C. Excerpts from the Will: "I bequeath to my Daughter Hannah Smith, the wife of Robert Smith, the tract of land, Known as the Burford tract, and the prices added to it. Whereas my son, Joseph Brown, having been removed by Death, as also his wife, Mary Brown and they having left five children, viz. Susan B. Brown, Eliab Brown, Nancy Brown, John Brown, and Samuel Brown. Therefore, I give and bequeath to the said five children, the tract of Land whereon the said Mary Brown resided, on Broadway Creek, containing three hundred and three acres... Fourth, I give and bequeath to my Daughter, Nancy Moore, during her natural Life time, the two tracts of land whereon She now resides, one tract containing one hundred and fifty acres, which tract was purchafsed by me from Col. Eliab Moore, Senr...I also give to my said Daughter Nancy Moore, one other tract of land adjoining the above tracts containing one hundred and fifty seven acres...known as the Bowen tract... I give and bequeath to my son, Robert B. Brown...the tract of land which I purchased from Peter Acker... Sixth, I give and bequeath to John Brown, a Son of Catharine Lefroy (now Catharine George) a Negroe Girle named Mary, (a child of Anna's)... Seventh, I give and bequeath to the four children of Alamine Atkins, viz. William Penn Brown, Jane Czarena Brown, Martha Ann Brown, and Elvira Brown, All of my household and kitchen furniture, of all and Every Kind whatsoever.

Tenth....Procedes thereof, together with all monies, notes and dues belonging to my Estate in any way to be equally divided amongst My children....Son Daniel Brown, Daughter Hannah Smith, Son Samuel Brown, children of Son Joseph Brown, Daughter, Nancy Moore, Son Robert B. Brown, Daughter, Elizabeth Smith. Eleventh...appoint James Gilmer and James Gunnin, Executors of this my last will and testament by me heretofore made." 18 Nov 1851 John Brown (Seal) On the 1850 Census of Anderson Co., SC listed in the household of John Brown, age 79, is Elmina Brown, 45, William Penn Brown, 11, Czarena Brown 9, Martha Ann Brown 8, Elvira Brown 6, and John Brown 21. I know this is a very lengthy query; however, I felt excerpts from his will would help in connecting William Penn Brown and John Brown to the John Brown (writer of the 1851 will). Thanks for your help. Rachel Brown

Cordelia, I am researching Campbellton, SC. And found in the Edgefield census of 1790, A John Stewart, and a John Stuart. Also A William Little. (the census takers misspelled many of the family names) I don't know if you have ever checked the Edgdfield area before or not. What I found was that Campbellton was the largest town in Edgefield at that time and many of the families from that area moved to Abbeville and surrounding areas even to Pendelton in the early 1800's when the town of Campbellton started to die. By 1850 Campbellton was no longer the link shipping goods down the Savannah River. Augusta grew and Campbellton did not keep up. Many reasons why. To any extent a large wagon train left the area in 1849. abt. heading west. Our family was in this wagon train. Some settled in Ga. others traveled to Al. and on to Texas. We have a George Washington Steward in our group. Also a Patterson. I hope this may help you. I know it isn't much but when you've hit a wall anything is worth a try. By the way we have family in Generostee, also. But most of our Campbell's are from Abbeville, The Nation's area. And many are at rest in Bell's chapel Cemetery.

Delores, I have been at this since 1963 and I am now almost 74. I can wait until you have time. Thnaks, Cordelia

Cordelia, Well, I'm reading my emails backwards for some crazy reason! Just now finding your info on the STEWARTS, and reading the questions about the PRINGLES. Oddly, there was a Francis PRINGLE who was in Sumter Dist., SC, for a very short time who disappeared, and the name James was used also. I am the owner of the PRINGLE rootsweb list and am searching every PRINGLE known to man, all over the globe. As a matter of fact, one of my favorite PRINGLE researchers is in Austin, too. I will write you more on this later. My Pendleton books are compiled works of deeds, wills, etc. Let me see what I can find on your John. He may just be hanging out in some of that info. I agree with you about the "canned" genealogy. I guess I was lucky in the fact that I started this when I was 8 or 10 yrs. old with my grandmothers and can't quit - I'm now 53. More later. I'll see what I can find and get back to you. Godspeed... Dolores Miller Pringle

Jim, After all the postings I have made in search of Stewarts, your e-mail is the first one to confirm what I "partially" know and want to add to and verify. Do you happen to know what the next court higher than a county inquiry or coronor's inquest would be? Thanks so much. A word of encouragement helps!. Cordelia

Generostee, I found your e-mail interesting because the location and family names and ARP Church turn up in my family research. Can't add anything to what you already know. My Great great grandfather Samuel Franklin McConnell bought property on Little Generostee Creek at the boundary of Dark Corner and Savannah Twp. in 1870. The property had belonged to William Hewin and was foreclosed on by William Sherrard in 1869. Mary E. Hewin asserted her dower right in court in 1875. John Sherrard and Samuel Franklin McConnell were Trustees in the land transactions for the Grove ARP Church. Jim McConnell

I am reserching the marriage of Hut Loftis and Maude Scoggins Loftis in 1870. They had one son Charles Wheeler Loftis. CW Loftis married Ella Partridge. I am interested to find any kin on this line. My gg grandmother is Maude S. Loftis. Bill Scoggins

Hello, My name is Bernice Hope Doyle, and my GGGrandfather was S.C. Scoggins, born 1833 in NC. He married Amanda Priest (b.1834 GA). They moved to Bridgeport, TX, Wise Co. and raised 17 children, one of which was my GGrandmother Mary Lucinda Catherine Scoggins. I didn't find a Maude on my tree but there is a Charles Edward, b. 1879 in Texas. If your family tree runs toward Texas, please let me hear from you. Best, Bernice

Delores, Your kind and generous offer to check for something on John Stewart of Pendleton's Twelve Mile Creek area while he was working in his gun shop is accepted. I do not know how much of the previous postings on John Stewart and Stewart land transactions you followed. I believe that he is my immigrant ancestor in the Stewart line. Many individuals have e-mailed me on Stewarts, Stuarts, and Stewards for that period in that area, but none of the information is documented and none seemed to be aware of that particular Stewart. I know this much from family records, deeds, wills, sessional records, and censuses. Someone fathered the following Stewarts: John Stewart who married Ann Partain. I have neve succeeded in getting a birthdate for him, but he survived until 5 September 1865. He married a 2d time to what is believed to have been a widow by the name of Hewins, Huens, Hughens, or some variation. By his 2d wife he had two sons, whose names are not known to me nor were they known to descendants of his union with Ann Partain. Ann Partain Stewart is buried at Generostee ARP cemetery near Iva and Star in Anderson Co., SC, in 1856 in her 60th year. In the late 60's and early 70's I made two trips to the area and read the inscription for myself. I was told by a man living in the area that there was an older cemetery that the Generostee one. Name of it is unknown and location is unknown.....possibly it was flooded when Hartwell dam was constructed. The John Stewart who married Ann Partain and thier children are pretty well documented by their descendants and were thirty years ago. One of the descendants was the late Mrs. Edgar Ellis Strong (nee Julian Elizabeth Stewart) whose husband wad a Presbyterian minister. Julia is buried at Due West, where she lived out her latter days in the home of a son who was superintendant of schools at Due West. John who married Ann Partain had two brothers and two sisters. One brother James G. Stewart who married and had family before he moved to Tippah Co., MS in time to be in the 1850 census. His first wife's name is unknown to me, but his 2d wife was Mary Ann McKinney. She was not much older than his older children by his first wife. One of his daughters, Catherine Berthira Stewart (born after the 1850 census) married my g grandmother Mary Catherine Harrison Snell's younger half-brother, Thomas Caldwell Harrison....both Harrisons were from Mecklenburg Co., NC James died in 1855 and his family I have pretty well documented. The other brother of John who married Ann Partain was Samuel Stewart (12 Feb. 1801-6 July 1875). Born in Pendleton District, SC, he and his brother James G. Stewart moved to Tippah Co. together circa 1845; first locating temporarily in Tishimingo Co., MS and then settling permanently in Tippah Co. MS. The two sisters of these three Stewart brothers were Nancy who married John Sherrard, a brother to Alexander Sherrard. I knew that John and Nancy Stewart Sherrard moved to "near Atlanta". I found them in the 1850 census of Cobb Co., where Nancy is reported as age 60 (hence born circa 1790) and birthplace is reported as Ireland Ann Stewart who married Francis Cunningham I have never located in a census. Perhaps she was dead by the time of the 1850 census, so finding her is unlikely unless some of their descendants are into genealogy. I know that a John Stewart brought land from Andrew and Jean Liddell (sometimes mis-spelled Liddle)...it appears both ways in the deed. Samuel Stewart (1801-1875) my gg grandfather had a daughter Esther Jane who married a younger Moses Liddell and they, too came to MS in the "mass migration." My Samuel Stewart;s next to youngest child was Ebenezer Pressly Stewart who was a school teacher and Presbyterian minister, without title of Reverend because he was not a seminary graduate.) He appears in the Centennial History of the ARP church (circa 1900). At that time he was living near Altus, Oklahoma and pastoring a church near Blair and teaching school at the time. I have some of Ebenezer's children and descendants. I have gone to more than great length to explain my desire to investigate the murder of John Stewart as reported in the Pendleton Messenger. Since it was a capital crime and the Governor offered a reward, it is possible that all papers relating to the prosecution and punishment of the perpetrator of the crime was handled at a court that today we would probably call a district court. No papers are on file in Anderson Co., relating to his death or dispostion of his estate. I have always been somewhat amused that Brent Holcomb never latched on to this story. I have seen much of his work, but I have never seen a reference by him to the case. When my gg grandfather Samuel Stewart died, his obituary was carried by the ARP church paper, which was published at that time in Due West. A Pendleton paper picked up the obituary from the ARP account and reported his death.....this 30 years or so after he removed from Pendleton to MS. My g. grandfather Wm. S. Patterson Stewart was born in Pendleton District in 1827-1910. He was for 37 years the sessional recording secretary for Tippah, an elder, but I have no papers from his estate that mentions what I believe to have been his grandfather and the nature of his death. Ebenezer Pressly Stewart's ( son of Samuel and Rebecca S.Elizabth Patterson Stewart) little biography in the ARP history says that he was born "within the bounds of Pendleton Courthouse." I know that this is far more about Stewarts than you wanted to know. I just want to get the record straight. I may never know the truth, but I do not want anyone's "canned" genealogy, which I am afraid is what is happening to some of the newer people to genealogical research. Too often they buy into a genealogy that when scrutinized offers no logic or documentation. The internet is a wonderful tool, but it is only that.....the research is basic. Thanks again and if any of your Pendleton area books should be able to shed some light on this John Stewart, I will be forever in your debt. Cordelia Snell Holem Austin, TX I go to the Arhives here in Austin regularly. If you would like me to do any research for you there, I would be more than happy to do so.
