Does anyone know of any relationships between the above families in Chester Co SC????? Also........Davis, Hardin and Pressley/Pressler??? Does anyone know where the above families lived before coming to Chester Co SC????? Rachel Clarentine (sometimes called Clementine or Clemmie) Downing married 1st Moses Smith Mitchell and 2nd John Lee Scott. I know that Moses was the son of Henry Mitchell and Nancy Boyd Jones (Jones = first husband). I think that Nancy Boyd Jones' sister may have married a Smith.......can't remember and I'm doing this from memory -- which is ALWAYS a big mistake!! Anyway, John Lee Scott was the son of John Thomas Scott who married Jamima Smith. However, my understanding is that John Thomas Scott had been married a first time to the woman who was John Lee Scott's mother. And some people think she was a Harris. But I don't know that for sure. Can anyone give me more information about Skull/Scull Shoals - UNION Co - where Rachel Downing Mitchell Scott is buried? Somehow I think that the Downings must have known some of these families before the actual marriage of Rachel C and Moses Smith Mitchell. Does anyone know where these families were living before coming to CHESTER Co? Rachel C. Downing - and her mother Rachel Downing - were dismissed from Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church (CHESTER Co) in 1841. I think that James A. Downing (brother and son respectively) seems to have stayed behind and kept membership in that church. Since she was married a short time later to Moses Mitchell - I am assuming that she and her mother must have moved to where the Mitchells were living. Can anyone fill in the blanks?? Maria
