We support Web Access to Archive Records The petition can be viewed and signed at this address: http://www.petitiononline.com/ethan/ There are at least 18,000,000 family history researchers in the United States alone and it has become the 2nd most popular hobby. But access to research materials for family history buffs is woefully lacking. The records needed for this research are being held by the State and Federal Archives, and has become either overly expensive to access or unavailable for access due to distance. Ancestry.com is the leading genealogy web site in the world and signs up tens of thousands of new subscribers each month. To subscribe to all of their databases per year, the costs are outrageous for fixed income persons. That is minimum $79.95 and maximum $239.70 per person per year. With 700,000 subscribers that comes to $ 55,996,500.00/$167,790,000.00 per year. However, their databases lack original documentation, needed for research. Our plan even with a nominal subscription of $20.00 per year based on 700,000 people is $14,000,000.00 which would well afford archival records to be made available electronically, that otherwise, would remain unavailable to out of state and electronic researchers and genealogists. This could also help the records online be self supporting. I direct you to the BLM website as well for an example of what has, can and could be done for Free Access to Archive Records: http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/ We would further propose the work of the archives be contracted out at a reasonable cost, for scanning and making available these precious records electronically, if the archive is unable to accomplish the task. We are hoping you will see our proposal as a solution for all state archives and the federal archive. I refer you to our petition and the many opinions and pleas of the genealogists and concerned others who have signed it. But the State Archives need funding and personnel to accomplish this!! Please think of it as a long term investment and not a cost, by providing funding for these projects making records available online, you give us a richer history of our past.

My Adams and Marlin lines were in Chester So.Carolina around the 1820-1830's before moving on to White Co. IL. There were some that located around Obion TN but my direct lines went to IL. I know the Marlin line came over from Londonderry Ireland abt 1835 but not sure about the Adams, other than they were here before the Marlins. I have a lot of information but willing to share and always looking for more. My ADAMS family is my brick wall. Janean

Do you have names of revolutionary soldiers buried in Burnt Meeting House Cemetery? First names to go with the surnames found on stones? Dates? Know how we might get this information?

Update to the following message: Thanks for the great response to my earlier message. I have contacted County Councilman Billy Westbrook and he is very supportive of our effort. Through my research(talking with the founders of this movement in 1990). I have been advised to not pursue the road(driveway) but a walking path to keep the teenagers from having an easier access than they already have. I have contacted the current land owner and he is very supportive of anyone visiting the cemetery as long as you realize that it is an "at your own risk" visit. He has kept the path mowed and accessible. He is in agreement about the fencing. He has created a parking area just off the highway for anyone visiting the cemetery. So, once we raise the additional $2,700 we need to install the chain link fence and maybe get some volunteers to help clean off the graves each year we can move onto another abandoned cemetery. I hope we will discuss this cemetery at the "Birthday" annual meeting of the Chester District Genealogical Society on August 7th, 1pm at Russell's in downtown Chester. If you would like to attend, send your $10 check to the CDGS, PO Box 336, Richburg, SC 29729.

I would like some help looking for cemetery information listing a Maybella HENRY, probably dying about 1830 at the age of 25. I have ship passenger information that shows her arriving in Charleston, SC at the age of 20 on December 1824. And in the 1830 Census, her husband, Alexander HENRY is found as A. HENRY with three small children and no wife in Chester County, SC. So I would like to find what cemetery she would probably be buried at. I know they were Assoc. Reformed Presbyterians. Could someone check with the Chester District Genealogical Society, Chester County Library, or with the Chester Historical Society and look up cemetery names? There is a chance they were at the Fishing Creek Presbyterian church. Thank you for any help that you can offer. Shirley Henry Krenzler

l am trying to find the father of Alexander Cowan b. 1824 I believe in Chester, SC. His father I think was either Alexander b. 1795 or Robert b. 1791. They were all members of the Union A. R. Presbyterian Church and left between 1826-1830 and started the Hopewell A.R. Presbyterian Church in Newton Co., GA. Alexander married Rosanna Wylie and in the 1850 GA census his children are listed as Robert, James, Eliza, Rosanna & Mary. Robert married Easten and in the 1850 GA census his children are listed as George, Harriet & Alfred. I believe Alexander b. 1824 married Mary Agnes Stewart before leaving South Carolina. Would like to find record listing Alexander Cowan (1824) parents. Thanks, Anne

I'm trying to find information about my Adams/Marlin families. They were in Chester District. Is there anywhere I can find records and/or information about that area prior to and including the time period of 1820. My immigrant Adams died in the 1830's and I'm looking for some kind of documents; wills; etc. They were presumably members of Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church. There is a record (which I have not seen) that John and Rachel Marlin joined the Hopewell Associated Reformed Church and another record of Union Associate Reformed Church on May 8, 1847. In Nov of the same year a Mr. Adams joined. A John Adams purchased land adjoining the church in 1847. In the records of the Catholic Church for 1841 Willy W. Adams was received into membership by certificate from the Presbyterian Church of Fishing Creek. In Nov. 1845 William W. Adams and wife Mary M. Adams applied for certificates of dismissal as they were "about to remove to the western country." William and Mary's children were born in S.Carolina 1848; 1851 & 1854 (4 mo after father's death) Mary with 3 small children migrated to Illinois. I need locations of places that hold records and what kind. Thanks, Janean

I am seeking the graves of John W. Lineberger (1908-1980) and wife Anne Lineberger (1908-1993). They both resided in Great Falls, SC and are likely buried in the large cemetery in Great Falls.

Very interesting reading....... -----Original Message----- From: Paul M Kankula - nn8nn [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 6:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [SCGENWEB] SC Cemetery Laws - A Need For Change For your information. I'm the coordinator for the "Golden Corner" of South Carolina - Anderson, Oconee & Pickens counties. During the past 7 years, I have listened to one sad cemetery story after another. Either a cemetery has been desecrated by the landowner and/or visitation and maintenance is not being granted to family members. Then I have joyously watched Eagle Scout candidates restore desecrated cemeteries for their service project requirement in my area. Most landowners are very sensitive to descendant request and welcome family visitations and cemetery improvements. However, there are a handful of "mentally challenged" individuals who have earned my "Excellence of Stupidity" award..! - One landowner fell trees on top of their cemetery in order to hide it. - One landowner built a house on top of their cemetery. - One landowner used their field-stone markers for building a chimney. - Several farmers have planted crops on top of their cemeteries. - One landowner used their field-stone markers to build a water damn to help stop soil erosion. - One landowner stores his hay in their cemetery's fenced in area. - Several farmers are letting their livestock slowly destroy their cemeteries. - One fool even took 43 pioneer tombstones to the public landfill for disposal! (The landfill manager wouldn't accept the material. We assume that there now on the bottom of some lake) When descendants complain to their County Sheriff, they are told that nothing can be done... they must catch the landowner in the act. Their also told that the cemetery desecration might have taken place before there were cemetery laws in place and that nothing can be done. I just love this recent "toothless" law. South Carolina Code of Laws, Title 6, Chapter 1, General Provisions, Article One, Section 6-1-35 (a) Counties and municipalities are authorized to preserve and protect any cemetery located within its jurisdiction which the county or municipality determines has been abandoned or is not being maintained and are further authorized to expend public funds and use county or municipal inmate labor, in the manner authorized by law, in connection with the cemetery. (b) As used in this section, the term "preserve and protect" means to keep safe from destruction, peril, or other adversity and may include the placement of signs, markers, fencing or other appropriate features so as to identify the site as a cemetery and so as to aid in the preservation and protection of the abandoned cemetery. When descendants contacted their County Board of Officials and asked for help, they were told the county has better things to do with their time & money. Just because they are authorized to do something, that doesn't mean that they'll do it. How discouraging! Then there's these recent bills. S-0760 Bill 12-02-03 To provide an easement for the relatives and descendants of any person buried in a cemetery for ingress and egress for the purpose of visiting the cemetery. FAILED TO PASS S-426 Bill 2-27-03 To provide that it is unlawful for a person who owns property on which an African-American cemetery that has been designated as historic by the Department of Archives and History is situated to remove or disturb the graves, or develop the land, and to provide a penalty. H-3473 Bill, 1-30-03 To provide that it is unlawful for a person to steal anything of value from certain repositories of human remains. I must be missing something here... Are our existing SC Cemetery Laws so bad that amending bills of this type are needed to be passed? Is this an example of my hard-earned tax dollars at work? Must be. Here's something that I'll never understand. People are allowed to bury their love-ones in their front yards - complete with large memorial markers. Now landowner visitation problems will surely continue for years to come... It's time for public outcry... The continued passing of amended bills and then moving on to something else needs to be stopped. Good laws need to be passed that don't always need to always be amended. Until someone sits down and compares SC's current cemetery laws to that of other "more technically advanced" states, SC is always going to have flawed laws! Obviously, our lawmakers are simply lacking in cemetery knowledge. The governor really needs to hire an outside consulting firm who knows their stuff and will make intelligent change recommendations. Public rage is growing in my area and I'm sure that it will be spreading towards yours. Actually, I would be surprised if its not already there. I encourage individuals and Genealogical Society members to contact Governor Mark Sanford directly with their concerns and constructive criticism. I assure you that Governor Sanford will get involved, if, enough people request his help.
