Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=947 Surname: PRICE, MCDONALD, WEST ------------------------- Researching COLLETON CO. for the ancestors of O'Brien Smith PRICE and Charlotte MCDONALD, who married about 1850. The name O'Brien S. PRICE (seems to be several generations) appears on the Colleton census in multiple years. The one who married Charlotte MCDONALD was born about 1832 according to the census. Charlotte seems to have been born about 1837. At least one of their children was born in or near Jacksonboro, and she married Robert Gaston WEST. Can anyone help me with O'Brien and Charlotte's parents and/or siblings?

The New York Times is seeking information about which newspapers _currently publishing_ contained advertisements or announcements of slave auctions during the 18th and 19th centuries. You can send any information about this to the NYTimes at: [email protected] or [email protected]

It is a T-Shirt that has a 4 generation chart on the back of it so you can fill it in. I thought this would be a good idea for a family reunion.

DISCOURSES OF SLAVERY AND ABOLITION: WRITING IN BRITAIN AND ITS COLONIES, 1660-1838 A Two-Day International Conference at the Institute of English Studies University of London, United Kingdom 6-7 April 2001 Proposals are invited for short papers. SUBJECT AREA: This conference aims to bring together scholars working on the literature of slavery and abolition in the long eighteenth century. For almost two centuries, between the formation of the Royal Adventurers to Guinea in 1660 and the complete emancipation of slaves in British colonies in 1838, the effects of slavery and the slave trade were evident at every level of British society. Accordingly, there existed by 1838 a considerable body of literature concerned with slavery, abolition and emancipation, a body which included political tracts and pamphlets, newspaper and periodical reports, biography and autobiography, and novels, poems and plays. This literature is often viewed merely as historical source material, an approach which often precludes a more subtle discussion. The conference will raise questions about its form, genre, rhetorical strategy, its place in the wider context of literature in the long eighteenth century as well as its historical, political, and theoretical context. POSSIBLE THEMES FOR PAPERS: * Fiction, drama, and poetry of slavery and abolition * Journals, letters and diaries * Individual authors * Individual abolitionists * Black self-representations * Rhetoric of abolition * Theories of race and empire * Slavery and Augustan, sentimental, or Romantic literature * Race and gender * Newspapers and periodicals. * Pro-slavery writing * Travel writing * Images of Africa and Africans * Writing the Caribbean * Colonial encounters * Women and the abolition movement * Slavery beyond the Atlantic PROPOSALS: Proposals should be approximately 300-400 words for 20 minute papers. They should be submitted to the conference organisers by 31 October 2000. E-mail proposals are preferred, but typewritten copy is also acceptable. Informal enquiries can also be made to the organisers. SUBMISSIONS TO: [email protected] or Brycchan Carey Discourses of Slavery and Abolition Conference School of English and Drama Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London Mile End Road London E1 4NS United Kingdom FURTHER INFORMATION: The conference webpage will be regularly updated: http://sites.netscape.net/brycchan/dsa.htm

SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=939 Surname: Price ------------------------- I am searching for any information on an O'Brien or O'Brian Smythe Price.

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=938 Surname: Polk, Rentz ------------------------- Looking for the parents of Isaac Oliver Polk Sr (perhaps his father was Thomas Polk) and parents of Isaac's wife, Ann Elizabeth Rentz. Isaac and Ann Elizabeth lived in Colleton County SC, as did Isaac's father, and as did many of their descendants (and perhaps many descendants still do). I am not sure of the home county of Ann Elizabeth's parents. I think the Polk family were in old St Bartholomew's Parish (does that make sense?) and many of the children of Isaac and Ann Elizabeth were in Islandton in Colleton County.

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=937 Surname: ADDISON, CAMPBELL, BEARDON ------------------------- I have a little information on Mary Linnie ADDISON (b. 23 Dec 1865 d. 11 Feb 1932). She was buried in Live Oak Cemetery, Walterboro, Colleton County, SC. She is buried next to her husband Daniel Portious CAMPBELL (b. 17 Aug 1863 d. 23 Dec 1895), her son John McCants CAMPBELL (b. 23 Nov 1889 d. 31 Dec 1963), and his wife Gordelia BEARDON CAMPBELL (b. 8 Dec 1885 d. 6 Oct 1966). Gordelia's parents were James Wilburn and Julia S. Hays BEARDON. All this is according to the tombstones in the cemetery. There is also a Daniel Portious CAMPBELL II (b. 9 May 1887 d. 30 Jun 1948). I assume this is also one of Mary Linnie's sons.
