James A. Williams married Nancy Rocinda Pardue, not William Adams Williams. James A. Williams (Sr.) and Nancy Pardue had son James Adams Williams, grandson of James R. Williams. James A. Williams (Sr.) died in 1844 and his widow Nancy moved with son James Adams Williams to Shelby Co., AL in late 1860. See below abstract of document that proves James A. Williams' father as James A. Williams (Sr.) and grandfather as James R. Williams: On May 18, 1860, a Bill for Partition of Land was filed in the York County, SC Court House. It has James R. Williams' six children, John R. Williams, Martha J. Williams, Margaret L. Williams, Benjamin F. Williams, Elizabeth N. Williams, and Palethia Williams Pardue, wife of John M. Pardue, versus James R. Williams' grandson James A. Williams (Jr.), son of James R. Williams' deceased son James A. Williams (Sr.). What is contested in this document is the sale of James R. Williams' estate (land) to James L. Guy. The document also mentions the amount and location of the land as 235 acres on Williams Branch, waters of Turkey Creek, bordered by lands of James Guy, Samuel Kirkpatrick, Givens Gallagher, Williams Kirkpatrick. and W. H. Hardwick. - Court of Equity Papers, Bill for Partition, package 76, page 492, York Co., SC Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Brown (Mary Priscilla Johnson) RootsWeb: SCCHEST2-L [SCCHEST2] Mrs F. H. Brown (Mary Priscilla Johnson) and her parents Mr. Powell I am the great-grand nephew of Elizabeth McNairy, the mother of James Clay Wilborn who married Mattie Brown. According to census records they had 3 children but only one lived any length of time. James Clay is shown as a farmer in 1900, a lawyer in 1910, and an insurance agent/salesman in 1920/1930. I am obviously interested in your info that he was a major and politician. I would appreciate any other information you might have on them and in particular, anything that you might know about their daughter Elizabeth Brown Wilborn, born Jan 1897, and living with her parents in York in 1930. Thank you. Thomas Glascock Hey Thomas! Good to hear from you! I hope that the following helps. PLEASE tell me what you know about the McNairys....I know nothing, yet we have a McNairy family living a stone's throw from my church! Who were Elizabeth Jean McNairy's parents? Where were they from and how are they connected to you? Yes, I knew Elizabeth Wilborn all my life! She was my grandmother's first cousin, and they played together often as children, went to Winthrop College together and in her retirement she and her husband built a house here in Chester at 208 Walnut St on property sold to them by my grandfather and grandmother who lived next door . Actually, James Clay Wilborn is very interesting. I understand JC Wilborn's parents to be James Wood Wilborn (Sept 30, 1820- June 22 1864 ) and Elizabeth Jean McNairy (1829-1872) both of whom were from Randolph County, NC. JC Wilborn was born July 14, 1856, but I'm not sure where (Durham I think). From my records I find that JC had a sister named Carrie Wilborn who married Oscar E. Cunningham. Carrie and Oscar had a son Clayton Carlisle Cunningham (b. Jan 21, 1886 in the Waxhaws and who died in Gastonia, NC on Dec 31, 1962. Clayton Carlisle's wife's name was Gladys Lea Sanford, but I don't know if they had any children. Does this tally with the information you have? II think it might say where JC Wilborn was born in his obit if I can lay my hands on that in my files. He graduated from Trinity College (now Duke University) in 1876 and everyone called him "Clay" I believe. I have a daguerreotype of his graduating class, as well as a silver dollar incised in Greek which was a fraternity symbol, I believe. He came home and his first job in the 1870s was teaching at "Old Pointe" School, which was attached to Ebenezer Presbyterian Church in the Ebenezer community (now part of Rock Hill, SC) The church still exists (in fact I believe this is where many of the Wilborns and Browns are buried) and so does the school building though it is a museum now. It was the custom for teachers to provide their own desks in the 1800s, but JC Wilborn's desk was actually handmade for him by the parents of his students. In fact, I'm selling this desk at auction at Lilly's Auction house in Indian Trail, NC in a couple of weeks at one of the two sales they're having over the Labor Day weekend. You can see it here. --> http://www.chesterscantiques.com/ then click on "photo catalogue" >furniture> 1870s desk. There are several pictures + documentation there. JC Wilborn was very ambitious and climbed fairly high in local politics. He went to study law in 1879 in Statesville, NC with Judge RF Armfield and then practiced in Lenoir, NC where he was elected mayor. He returned to Rock Hill, married Martha Ann Eliza Brown (my great-great Aunt "Mattie"). While living here, he practiced law and was elected Mayor of Rock Hill, too..and then Member of the House of Representatives for South Carolina in 1888, and while there, was elected Clerk of the House. He was again elected in 1892. At some point they moved from Rock Hill to York (about 10-12 miles away) and bought a house at 216 E. Liberty St. The house was built before 1849, by one of the Lt Govs of SC, Robert Gadsden McCaw. The house is now owned by Mr. Zane Abernethy. Aunt Mattie (January 27, 1858-December 22, 1934) was, I understand, the prettiest of the Brown daughters. She was also quite talented artistically. In fact, you can see some of her paintings that we're selling also on the ChesterSCantiques.com website. (They won't be in the Labor Day auction though) Growing up and seeing them in Cousin Elizabeth's house, I always thought they were rather naïve. However an art historian in Atlanta who was visiting thought they were pretty interesting because, being painted in the 1870s, girls in that age learned to paint by looking at engravings in newspapers and magazines like the Harper's Weekly, so that when they were assigned to paint the Alps, for instance, they had only a grainy black and white engraving to go by. So I suppose that judged by that standard she really was quite accomplished. She really DID excel at painting flowers and birds. In addition to lots of paintings, we have a handpainted screen with four painted panels of marsh birds and plants that she did. That piece is exquisitely 1890s. Elizabeth Brown Wilborn (Jan 27, 1897-March 10 1976) was their only daughter and I surmise that she was a little spoiled growing up. I remember hearing that Elizabeth had always been very particular and possessive about her clothes and knew the cost of everything. I've got a picture of them around 1905 at the Grand Canyon, where they had rented a mule...Elizabeth was on the mule looking slightly peeved, while her father held the reins and her mother looked on. Elizabeth grew up something of a 'blue stocking', an old term used to describe overly well-educated women. She was very clever and became an elementary school teacher in North Carolina and was a very firm one, I'm sure! When the depression hit JC and Mattie faired rather badly. I don't know many of the details, but from letters that she wrote to Elizabeth, I do know that they had to take borders to make ends meet and that Aunt Mattie's health was not very good, and in fact she died in 1934. I imagine that this is when Elizabeth moved back home to take care of her father. Around this time I believe that she met and married Joseph Lindsey Miller (March 13, 1895-July 23, 1972) who was one of the sweetest, gentlest people I've ever known. I think he was a bit henpecked though because Elizabeth definitely wore the pants in the family, though this was a moot point since Lindsey was deaf as a doorpost and just smiled serenely through it all!! Elizabeth and LIndsey were faithful members of Purity Presbyterian Church in town and sat in the pew just in front of us, and woe unto me if I was fidgety! <G>. Over lunch at my grandmother's house I was guaranteed to get 'the look' from Elizabeth, who was in her 70s at that point but never forgot she was a school teacher. I don't want to paint her too severely; she was a very educated, lovely woman and a wonderful cook to boot. (I'm thankful I've turned up her recipe for buttery angel-yeast biscuits...those are gold-standard, let me tell you.) Elizabeth and Lindsey never had any children. My grandmother was her closest living relative, besides her sister in law, Corinne Miller (again just a wonderful, wonderful old lady-- just as consistantly sweet as Elizabeth could be slightly tart-- and a dear friend of my Grandmother). When Elizabeth died, almost her whole estate went to my grandmother, and since we never seem to throw anything away, I ended up with most of it at my mother's death. grace and peace, Fred J Powell III Chester, SC ------------------------------------------------------------------ Greensboro, NC

The name Lee is sometimes spelled Lea in documents. I have wondered if there is a relationship to Sam Houston's wife Margaret Lea (who was an Alabamian) but I haven't found one.

Timothy, The only George that I know of in our family tree was George Elam Thomas born 1861, who was the son of David Elam Thomas of York County, SC. But like you I believe there must be a connection somewhere. My gg grandfather lived in Mississippi for about half his life, but he was Thomas McGuire who was from Choctow Co. I remember when I was little my grandfather talking about going to Mississippi. I always thought it was the McGuire family he was talking about, but there could be some Thomas' in there too. Unfortunately my grandfather passed away in 1985 and his brothers, in later years. There is no one living now that I know of who could tell me anything. My grandfather's brother would talk about family and where they came from all the time, but I wasn't old enough then to realize the importance of all that information and don't remember much of what he said. I wish I'd had a tape recorder..... I have my family tree on Ancestry and if you'd like to look at it, please send me yo! ur email address and I'll send you an invitation to look at it. Maybe you can see something there that rings a bell with you.... The Thomas family originally came to South Carolina via Maryland then North Carolina then to SC. There were many son's all the way down the line and I'm willing to bet that your George Washington Thomas is in one of those branches somewhere. I mostly have the info on my direct line. I have strayed from that line a few times when the information is passed on to me from other members of the Thomas family, but most is just my direct line. You're welcome to look though, just let me know.
