List members- Re: Just a suggestion. I think it would be really nice and perhaps helpful to other on this list, especially those who do not live in the Chesterfield County area, if someone who does live there, could, with the list administrator's approval, post obituaries from local newspapers of persons with a Chesterfield County connection. I just contacted the Cheraw Chronicle/Chesterfield Advertiser and the Pageland Progressive Journal and received permission from both to post their Obituaries on this list.

Kline, I would not have anything on the Wilks or Gulledge family members who moved to Alabama. These are not my lines. There is a John T. Wilks buried in the Wilkes Cemetery in Chesterfield County S.C. He was born July 31, 1800 and died February 8, 1889. There is also a Mary Wilks born July 11, 1807 who died February 13, 1889 possible the wife of John T. Wilks. There are several other Wilks born in the mid 1800's in this cemetery and several unmarked graves as well. The Wilkes Cemetery, according to James Piggs' Chesterfield County Cemetery Surveys is located south of Patrick, S.C. To get there you take state road 13-247 south out of Patrick, cross the Mill Pond, go to where the pavement ends, come down to where state road 13-247 ends, approximately .2 miles, dirt road curves to the left. After you cross the Dam Road, currently a gray building on the right side, across from it on the left side of the road is a field. In the back of that cleared off space is a wood road that goes through the woods. Follow old wood road approx. 50 to 75 yards into the woods, cemetery is on the left side of the road. These surveys and direction were as of 1995. As for migrations from the Chesterfield/Marlboro county area of S.C. to Georgia and Alabama. It seems like several families from these area went to the same areas in Georgia and Alabama at about the same time. Some of the Rasco (Roscoe) families from that area of S.C. moved to Washington, Chatham, Campbell, Pike, Coweta, Fayette Counties Georgia and to Randolph, Clay, Talladega, Pike, Blunt, Coffee, and Monroe Counties Alabama. Others moved to Kentucky and Texas. The other part of your original questions had to do with church records prior to 1850. In General,the Methodist, Episcopalian, Catholic, and other such hierarchical churches did require and maintain church records. Some of these records have survived and are housed in more permanent facility today. Some of these records have been micro-filmed by the Mormans (LDS or Latter Day Saints) and can be obtained through their Family History Center Libraries. Some records have been published. The Baptist, being autonomous in organization, have not for the most part maintained their indiviual church records, especilly the small, rural, churches, many of which do not even exist today. Some of the Baptist Churches in the 18th and 19th century were members of various Baptist Associations. Some of these records have survived. Good luck in your research. James R. Rasco Harvey, La.

James, thank you for your response. I descend from John M. Wilks and Mary Gulledge who left Chesterfield County just before 1850. They dwelled a short time in Georgia where their first child was born, then moved to Pike County, AL, where they died in the 1890's. It is believed John M. was the son of John T. Wilks who wrote his will in Chesterfield in 1881. Circumstantial evidence reveals John T. may have been the son of Francis Wilks who appeared on Chesterfield census as early as 1810 and as late as 1850. It is thought that Mary Gulledge was daughter of William Gulledge, Sr. and Mary who relocated to Barbour County, AL, where Mary appeared on 1860 census living with a female Wilks. Any assistance would be appreciated. I am a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and am seeking direct Wilks and Gulledge ancestors who served in that war.

Kline, Which Wilks and Gulledge are you looking for. There are quite a few Wilks buried in the Wilkes Chapel Methodist Church Cemetery on Wilkes Chapel Road at the intersection of State road 13-29 and State road 13-493. There is also a Wilkes Cemetery south of Patrick. Other cemeteries in Chesterfield County have Wilkes burials. The Gulledges seem to have mostly been Baptist with a few exceptions. Many cemeteries in Chesterfield County and Anson County N.C. have Gulledge burials. Tell me who in particular you are looking for and I will check the cemetery survey books to see if they are recorded. James R. Rasco Harvey, La.

Do church records exist prior to 1860? Trying to determine church affiliation of the Wilks and Gulledge families and their burial places. KLINE

Thanks. Don't know why some of them wouldn't work.........my computer has spasms. Joy

Sharlotte, George and Margaret were married in Aug 1890 and had 8 children as follows: Tasher L., Sallie Pauline, M. Lawlee, Mary Elma, Eugene, James Wallace, Colin Edward, and Harvey Leroy. From the names you have mentioned, Sallie Pauline married Wallace Laverne Howell and M. Lawlee married John M. Gibson. Lonnie O. King is not mentioned and I do not find a Nettie. The only reference that I can find to Lonnie King is a Lonnie Flagler King, b. 1899 in Darlington, S.C. He married Cora Lee Gatlin. This doesn't seem to be going in the right direction for your connections. Let me know if I can help. Jim __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Check out Yahoo!

Hi, Jim, Wow, thanks for all the info! I think I now know what I want Santa to get for me. If you could check in the meantime, however, does the book list George Edward King's children, and are any of them Lonnie, Pauline, or Nettie King? If not, is there any reference to a Lonnie O. King or a Nettie King [Neely Riley]? Thanks, Sharlotte Jim wrote: > George Edward King was the son of James Wiley King, > born 18 June, 1848 in Darlington County and died on 15 > April, 1923.
