All of the Rascos listed below were born in South Carolina according to all the Federal Censuses where they are enumerated. At the Time of their births the only place I have found any Rascos living in South Carolina is in the Marlboro/Chesterfield Counties. LODOWICH RASCO he was born in 1808 in S.C. He was mentioned by name in an inventory of the personal property of the estate of Doctor Archbald Fairly's estate in 1827 Richmond County N.C. per research by Myrtle Bridges. By 1828 Lodowich was residing in Pike County Georgia. By 1840 he was residing in Coweta County Georgia. He removed to Brazos County Texas about 1858 and was enumerated there in the 1860 census. He later moved to Grimes or Madison County Texas. JAMES RASCO he was born in 1810 in S.C. Was likely a younger brother of Lodowich Rasco. Was in Pike County Georgia where he married Ann Cropin January 10, 1837. Enumerated in Pike County Ga. Census in 1840. Was living in Monroe County Alabama when the 1860 census was taken. MARY RASCO she is the mother of James Rasco listed above. She was born in S.C. about 1765. Her maiden sur-name is unknown. She was a widow when she married a widower named John Cameron in Pike County Georgia August 27, 1828. In 1860 she was again a widow residing in the home of her son James Rasco in Monroe County Alabama. JONATHAN RASCO he was born in S.C. about 1807-1808. He first appears in the Pike County Alabama census of 1830. Have not located him in the 1840 census. He was married to his second wife, Sarah Ann Crawford June 6, 1849 in Talladega County Alabama. They were residing in Shelby County Alabama when the 1850 census was taken. They were in Blount County Alabama when the 1860 census was taken. Have not located them after the 1860 census. JOHN RASCO he was born October 23, 1808 in S.C. and died May 9, 1887 in Clay County Alabama. He is probably the same John Rasco who was in Chatham County Georgia in 1830. Was in a Georgia Militia during the Creek Indian War inlisting in Fayette County Georgia about 1838. By 1840 he was in Talladega County Alabama. His first wife was Clarrisa unknown also born in S.C. in 1806, died in Alabama in 1865. DANIEL RASCO he was born in South Carolina about 1808-10. He married Charlotte Morris August 19, 1834 in Hickman County Kentucky. Charlotte was born in Richmond County N.C. about 1812. Daniel died after 1870 in Hickman County Ky. I have reason to believe that Daniel Rasco was a son of Alexander Rasco who was listed in Marlboro County S.C. in the 1800, 1810, 1820 censuses. JESSE DARDEN RASCO he was born in S.C. about 1814. First located in the 1850 census of Blount County Alabama. By 1860 he had moved to Walker County Alabama. Moved from Alabama to somewhere in Mississippi by 1868 and was in Van Zandt County Texas when the 1870 census was taken. He had a very large family. He died in Van Zandt County Texas sometimes between 1880 and 1900. AQUILLA RASCO he was born in S.C. about 1796 and died in Richmond County N.C. after 1870 but prior to 1880. He left a will in Richmond County. Aquilla Rasco sold 170 acreas of land on Lightwood Knot Creek North of Brightsville in Marlboro County S.C. February 2, 1826 and removed to the Wolf Pit District of Richmond County N.C. The land was sold to James Steen and recorded in the Marlboro Deed book "M" page 370. JAMES RASCO from S.C. was in a Georgia Militia in Washington County Georgia in the late 1790's. He settled in Chatham County Georgia where he married Elizabeth Mall. He was a butcher by trade. He died in the mid 1820 in Chatham County Georgia. WILLIAM RASCO from S.C. was awarded a partial of land in Monroe County Georgia in the Indian Land lottery of 1821. William sold the partial of land in 1824. At that time he was a resident of Chatham County Ga. No futher records of him. I have extensive files on most of these Rascos but have not been able to prove who their parents were or how they were related to each other. I have no doubt but what they are related to each other some way or another. In the 1790 census of the Cheraw District there were households for James and John Rasgo (Rasco). By 1800 Alexander Rasco was added to Marlboro County. In 1810 a household for Delilah Rasco was located in Chesterfield County and in 1830 Haywood Rasco was in Darlington County. There are hints that there were other Rasco (Roscoe) families in Marlboro and Chesterfield Counties in the very early 1800 but they are not included in the censuses and may have been residing in household with heads other then Rascos. I am researching all branches of the Rasco/Roscoe families and would like to communicate and exchange data with any others who have simular interest or data. James R. Rasco 2000 Alejo del Sur Harvey, La. 70058-2901 < jrrasco@aol.com >

James and Kaye, Better words were never written. We need God in our lives more than ever now. Happy New Year. Patsy

Donna, I have never been there but as I understand The Bethesda United Methodist Church in Chesterfield County is located at the intersection of S13-44 (Evans Mill Road) and S13-22 (Hunts Mill Road). This is due North of Patrick, South Carolina, South of Chesterfield, Southwest of Cheraw. If you can pull up a county map of Chesterfield County you can find where these state roads intersect. It is my understanding there there are two cemeteries. The one at the current church and the one in the woods, across the road where the original church once stood. I believe the current Pastor of that church is Rev. Charles R. (Ronnie) Caulder. I have his address, phone number and e-mail address. If you need that, contact me privately and I will give you this information. If there is someone buried in that cemetery that you would like to know about and if they have a headstone, I might be able to give you the data. James R. Rasco

Does anyone have a list or know names of local or nearby furneral home(s) during 1960s? Thanks in advance. donna in TX

I'm so excited! I've got the 'skeleton' of my new Chesterfield County page on line! The temporary link is http://207.150.192.12/temp/cheste3/, and for the moment, the search engine & the email links won't work. But within a week, it should be happily moved into its permanent home. Then you'll be able to find it at http://www.chesterfieldroots.com/. Feel free to come on over, poke around, and see what we're going to be doing! Merry Christmas, everyone! Angie

To all the member of this list: >From our house to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year. God Bless all of you and please remember to keep Christ in your Christmas but more importantly in life, words, and actions. Love your neighbors and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. James R. and Kay Rasco
