Thank you so much. I am trying also to see if there was anything on Alexander Richie Haig and his parents Hezekiah Maham Haig and Agnes Richie Haig. I think that the Hezekiah Maham Haig that you gave me was a son of Hezekiah Maham Haig and his second wife Elizabeth Mott.(half brother to Alexander Richie Haig) This is really driving me nutsy!!!

Looking for any infomation on the following family found in the 1850 census in Charleston, SC James McCabe married to Isabella There children are shown as John (17), George (14) (my great grandfather), Edward (9), Bery F (4) Don Flowers dc32666@aol.com

Greetings y'all, Does anyone have STARLING and/or BROWNFIELD history they don't mind sharing? I'd appreciate it and am happy to reciprocate. I'd also appreciate it if there is anyone who can help me with more information on HENRY STARLING in the 1790 SC census, and STARLINGS in Laurens District. "Clues" I have are below. My 2nd Greatgrandmother was ELIZABETH STARLING BROWNFIELD. Her married surname was LOWNDES. She was born about 1850, and lived into the 1900s. She died in Pittsburgh, PA where her daughter GRACE STARLING LOWNDES lived. (Miss Grace Lowndes died 1956 in Pittsburgh.) We have photos of my 2nd Greatgrandmother. She sat for her portrait at least 2x in her life. Elizabeth Starling Brownfield Lowndes was a racially mixed African American. I'd like to learn more about her family. Elizabeth Starling Brownfield's husband was CAESAR DUNCAN LOWNDES. The family had ties to "the Islands" as they spoke GULLAH or GEECHEE. They were teachers who taught in the islands or among island families, maybe living around Charleston. Their eldest daughter, Miss Grace Lowndes, carried on this family tradition in her social work in Pittsburgh PA where she was a founder of the Pittsburgh Urban League and was a liaison with local courts. I believe Elizabeth and Caesar Lowndes also lived in COLUMBIA (Richland Co.), because Caesar Lowndes was doorkeeper in the state legislature. By the late 1880s or 1890, they moved to EAST TENNESSEE - Chattanooga (Hamilton Co.) and Maryville (Blount Co.) Caesar Lowndes was a Civil War veteran. He's listed in the 1891 TN Veterans' Schedule, living in Chattanooga. Sometime later they lived not far away in Maryville TN. It was in Maryville that their daughter DAISY met her future husband, Reverend George Richard Brabham, also from SC (my Greatgrandparents). Daisy Starling Lowndes' real name was HESTER DEAS LOWNDES, but she didn't like it so she changed it. There are BROWNFIELDS in the Georgetown area according to census info; and the first STARLING is in the 1790 SC CENSUS, as follows: HENRY STARLING, Charleston District, St. Andrew's Parish. There are 11 enslaved persons in this household along with "free white females including heads of families: 2", and "free white males 16 yrs & upward including head of household: 3". I would like to find more info on the slaves and members of this family. I found an earlier, white Elizabeth Starling in Laurens District mentioned in "estate divisions" records for 1825 to 1834. Details are on page 19 of South Carolina Magazine of Ancestral Research (SCMAR), vol. 14, winter 1986, number 1. If someone has access to this article, would you kindly share the info with me? What it says in part is: "JAMES STARLING" deceased. "Real estate. Elizabeth Starling widow" [in a family legal dispute with] "DAVID Starling, LARKIN Starling, JAMES Starling, [and] EPHRAIM Starling". It says JAMES SMITH was estate administrator for this case. Thanks for any other info and suggestions.

Thank you so much again, Bill. This confirms my notes that my great-uncle was named for this particular WILLIAM WIGHTMAN. The reference to the chancellorship of Southern University cinches it. My great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather lived in Greensboro, AL at the time [1859-67]; the future Bishop WIGHTMAN was a neighbor to the latter, REV. JOHN DUBOIS. It was interesting to note that Bishop WIGHTMAN edited Bishop CAPERS' autobiography. The CAPERS family and DUBOIS family had been plantation neighbors outside of Charleston, and my great-great-grandfather wrote that it was from Bishop CAPERS' father that he got a start with his education. I am further pleased to find out that you discovered the info on Ancestry.com. Time I returned to researching there more often; I have had better luck there than anywhere else online, and would sneak in a comment that I for one am not disappointed in the recent merger of two fine organizations.

I am feeling the same way about HAYWARD/HEYWARD/HEAWARD. It is so frustrating especially the researching of slaves and black genealogy

Back from my first vacation in three years that did not involve genealogy or the internet, I am trying to catch up on the waiting e-mails. My grandfather's second oldest brother, WILLIAM WIGHTMAN DUBOIS, [1859-1932], was apparently named for this WILLIAM WIGHTMAN, a fellow Charlestonian Methodist. Although my DUBOIS branch of the family moved to Alabama in the 1820s, strong ties were maintained with their SC friends and families. I would love to know more about WILLIAM WIGHTMAN in the hope of finding any new clues. Does anyone have more information?
