Thanks to everyone for your reply. The problem must be on my computer, as no one else has reported to me that they are/were getting the double messages. Some have suggested that I wasn't looking at the heading, but I was; all double identical messages came from the Spartanburg list, and Nancie was not the only person that I received double messages from. For the present, things seem to be back to normal, as I got a single message from all members of the Spartanburg list who responded. Jim Webb

Dec., 1860 OBITUARY Died- At his residence at Louisiana, Pike Co., MISSOURI, on Saturday, the 18th of June, after an illness of 7 days, MR. JOSEPH CARROLL, in the 79th year. MR. CARROLL was born in York District, S.C. on the 25th of Sept., 1781. At the age of 29 was married to MISS ISABELLA HENRY. He joined the Seced?er Church in 1812, since which up to the time of his death he lived a member in that Church. In 1817 he moved with his wife and 4 children to PIKE COUNTY, MISSOURI and settled on a farm on Buffalo Creek, 5 miles west of this city[ he was present at the raising of the first house in the town of Louisiana]. There in the quiet of his rural home, he fought the battle of his life. Amid the difficulties and privations of a new country, he succeeded in raising up and educating a large and respectable family of sons and daughters. A true Christian pioneer, he never yielded to the apparent necessities of complying with the customs around him but ever stood aloof from all that would mar the character of the Christian or degrade the man. { wow..wish all had an obit. like this one in the papers !] --- MARRIED- on Tuesday, 11th, by A.S.

In the Hart Family papers at the Historical Center of York County I find that my g-g-grandfather Abraham G. Smith (9 Jan 1789-6 Jul 1851) married Ruth Brown Taliaferro (1 Mar 1803-21 Oct 1876). After his death she married about 1854 a cousin, William Moore, who d. 18 Oct 1859. Her parents are said to be William Taliaferro (b. ?, d.abt. 1817) who married abt1801-1802 Margaret Moore (20 Sept 1785-after1846). Margaret Moore Taliaferro married second William Clarke, who d. 1845. William Moore and Margaret Moore are descendants in the Geyan or Guyon Moore family of western York Co SC. Additionally, William Taliaferro is said to be the son of Richard Taliaferro (23 May 1759 Amherst VA - ?14 May 1806 York Dist SC) and Mildred Powell (23 May 1762 - aft 1840 Pickens Co. AL), who came from Amherst Co VA after the Revolutionary War. Richard was the first Clerk of the newly formed Chester County Court in 1885 and later lived in York Co. I am trying to document a marriage between William Taliaferro and Margaret Moore, as well as William Taliaferro's parentage. Any thoughts, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

A batteau or bateau (preferred spelling) is a light river boat with flat bottom and tapering ends. Enjoy, Jim Webb
