Good to hear from you, there is only 1 LDS Cemetary,so you have the correct one. There's a church on a dirt road on the right ,just before the LDS Cem.Where Crowley and our family and many older that the LDS Cem are buried. Also, the LDS Church in Hartsville has a genealogy library open to the public.

Trying to locate the family of origin of our Sallie POSTON who was married to John L. HUGGINS of Chesterfield County, SC. Sallie was mother to my maternal great-grandfather, William Jabius HUGGINS, as well as Dock(ery) Gilbert HUGGINS and Book(a) HUGGINS. Sallie POSTON was born ca. 1830-1835 and died sometime after the birth of her last child in 1871. Have as yet been unable to identify her siblings and parents. Would be interested in exchanging ideas or information with other POSTON researchers looking in Chesterfield County, SC. Cindy Gallagher

Hi, my name is Trisher Smith. My mother's family comes from Chesterfield area,but we have none of your relatives in our line. Have you tried the Irish records ? I will look up my listings of our church cemetary where many early settlers in Society Hill are buried. The Crowley family are buried there and a cemetary near there. That is the only connection I have for now with you.We all belong to the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the cemetary I refer to did belong to the church,but since the church is gone they gave it to our family organization.Go to the www.LDS.org and get into the genealogy section and check things out. Also, our churches have genealogy libraries in each area open to the public. Hope I can help you.

It look like this site is not to busy so I will post my request once again hoping that there is a connection out there somewhere. I am interestered in the Roscoe families of Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington counties South Carolina and Richmond, Anson, Charlotte, Cabarrus, Cumberland, and other North Carolina Counties. In particular I am interested in Oliver Roscoe who was born in Chesterfield County South Carolina about March of 1824 and died about 1900-1901. He apprently married Caroline "Linnie" Steen about 1844. Oliver served in Compamy "C", 1st Regiment, South Carolina Infantry during the War Between the States. Oliver Roscoe appears first in the 1850 census of Chesterfield County and in each census thereafter through the 1900 census. In the 1850 census it appears that Oliver and Caroline had not had any children. His first child, Annie was not born untill about 1852. The other persons enumerated in Oliver Roscoe household in 1850, other then himself and Caroline, were Mindu or Minda Roscoe a white female age 60 and Rachel Roscoe a white female age 17. The children of Oliver and Caroline appears to have been: 1. Annie Roscoe, born about 1852. Married her cousin Thomas Roscoe. 2. Catherine Roscoe 3. James "Jim" Roscoe born 27 Feb. 1856, died 30 August 1923, married Annazilla Gulledge about 1884. 4. Alexander Jackson Roscoe. 5. William "Dock" Roscoe born 8 August 1864 or 8 July 1865, died 1 Dec. 1928, married Rachel Bowen or Boan about 1892. 6. Nancy Roscoe 7. Beedie Roscoe, believe her 2nd husband was John W. Crowley. 8. Mack or Mark C. Roscoe born 14 August 1874, died 23 March 1943, married Nancy Brown. It is believed that Oliver had at least one brother (possibly others) named Riley or William Riley Roscoe. William Riley Roscoe sr. was born about 1830 in Chesterfield County. It is believe that he served Company "K", 4th S.C. State Troops during the War between the States. His first wife was Julia (1850 census) sur-name Cross or Cook. His second wife was Isabella (1870 & later censuses). William Riley Roscoe family appears in all the censuses beginning in 1850 through 1900 in Chesterfield County. William Riley and Julia Roscoe appears to have had six known children: 1. Sarah Roscoe 2. Isabella Roscoe 3. William R. Roscoe 4. Thomas Roscoe b. 13 April 1852, d. 28 July 1919, married Annie Roscoe. 5. Ann E. Roscoe b. abt. 1853. married James Council Cassidy. 6. Harrett Roscoe William Riley Roscoe and his second wife, Isabella had six children but only four are known: 1. Emoline Roscoe 2. Laura Roscoe 3. Manda Roscoe 4. John Roscoe I would like to correspond and exchange information with anyone who is descended from or has knowledge of these Roscoe and their Ancestors and descendants. Would like proof of who the parents, especially the father, of Oliver and Riley Roscoe was. Need exact dates of births, deaths, and marriages of Oliver and Caroline, William Riley and Julia and Isabella. Need the names of the parents of Caroline (Steen) Roscoe, Julia (Cross/Cook) Roscoe, and Isabella (?) Roscoe. Last of all I would like to know from where this line of the Roscoe family came from prior to their arrival in Chesterfield County or South Carolina. Any help would be greatly appreciated. James R. Rasco

Karen, I believe your line may be: Albert B. Parker son of Samuel James Parker and Hannah Lee married Roseanne Brock. Roseann died 12 Sept 1915. I don't have the father of Samuel James Parker. I am not a Parker researcher, I have the data because it connects to my Brock line. Samuel James and Hannah had 10 children. The names match those you have listed. !MARRIAGE: Samuel J. PARKER & Hannah LEE at the residence of James C. GAINEY , St. Davids Parish, near Cheraw, on September 15, 1859. "St. David's Parish, South Carolina, Minutes of the Vestry 1768-1832, Parish Register 1819-1924, Brent H. Holcomb, C.A.L.S., 1979, Southern Historical Press, Greenville, SC, Page 106". Charlie

He fought for the British, met Easter Brock in Chesterfield Co. ( the area was later called Brock's Mill). "Took off that red coat through it down a well and started fighting for the colonies. After the war he was given a land grant in Chesterfield Co." per Lloyd Parker, a descendent. I have not found the land grant. Stephen Parker came to the Pee Dee area of S C from Va. around the mid 1700s.

This was sent to me by a lady from another list. Now I have an answer for those who ask me why am I so interested in the genealogy. They tell me not to waste time on the past but I see it as finding out who I am and why I am the way I am. I am a story teller. I want my family to know where they came from and why. Jane Foley Cornelius, NC "My feelings are in each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as it were by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors you have a wonderful family you would be proud of us? How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do? It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying I can't let this happen. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are them and they are us. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones." (unknown)
