Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=845 Surname: Crosby, Haddock ------------------------- Is a Charles, or Benjamin Crosby listed in this book as they were brothers of James. My mother-in-law, said that her father, James doesn't have a marker, that he's buried next to a church under a big oak tree. Sometimes I think all cemeteries have big oak trees, so that's not much help, but again there can't be that many older churches in Ruffin. I'm still sure that it must have been a family plot, otherwise, why would he be shipped from Florida to Sc for burial? Hopefully, when I get up there I will find the poor man.

There were no dates in your family bio so I cannot tell how your MAY folks might fit in with mine. Could you please provide dates for your Progenitor, Charles May? Many Thanks!

Hi, I have never seen this book so I don't know how useful the info in it will be but I thought someone might be interested in it. I don't have the book and I don't know the seller. Let me know if you object to me letting you folks know that this book is available. Jane http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=304324799 Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 [Rev. William Martin and His Five Shiploads of Settlers] by Jean Stephenson c. 1971, softcover reprint in mint condition, 137 pages - --------------------------------------------------------------------Per our publisher "This book began as Jean Stephenson's effort to validate the family tradition that her great-great-grandparents emigrated from Belfast to South Carolina under the leadership of Covenanter Presbyterian minister William Martin in 1772. The author was not only able to authenticate the crux of the story, but, in the process, to place nearly 500 Scotch-Irish families in South Carolina on the eve of the Revolutionary War. The impetus for the colonization was the combination of exorbitant land rents in Northern Ireland, sometimes provoking violent resistance, and the offer of free land and inexpensive tools and provisions tendered by the colonial government of South Carolina. For instance, each Scottish Covenanter was entitled to 100 acres for himself and 50 acres for his spouse, and an additional 50 acres for each child brought to South Carolina. Faced with this crisis and opportunity, Reverend Martin persuaded his parishioners that they had nothing to lose by leaving Ulster, and before long he was in charge of a small fleet of vessels bound for South Carolina. This story is recounted by Ms. Stephenson from the records of the South Carolina Council Journal and tax lists, passenger lists, church histories, and other sources housed at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History. Genealogists will want to pour over the land evidence assembled by the author from entries found in the Council Journal, namely, authorizations, survey abstracts, wills, deeds and other records which demonstrate where each family settled, or was entitled to settle. The families, which are grouped under the vessel they traveled in, are identified by the name of the household head, names of spouse and children, number of acres surveyed, county, location of the nearest body of water and the names of abutting neighbor, nd the source of the information. For the reader's convenience, there is not only an index of the persons found in the list of survey entries and a separate subject index, but also a table of spelling variants. A work of exacting scholarship, Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772 is a crucial source on settlement of the Palmetto State on the eve of the American Revolution." - -------------------------------------------------------------------- Book rate $1.13, Priority $3.20 and thanks for looking!

FYI - I looked on bookfinder.com to see if Cemeteries of Upper Coll. County was available and while it wasn't there was a surprising number of books for sale (used) in the $20.00 range. Such as "Narratives of Coll. Co.," 1850 Census, Wadboo Barony, etc. I also typed in the county names of other areas I am searching in the title field and found some good resources.

Dear Colleton County, South Carolina area genealogists: I recently contacted Mrs. Evelyn Bryan and ordered her book, "Cemeteries of Upper Colleton County" from her for $50.00 (Florida residents add $3.25 tax). She still has copies available. She is very nice to talk to and gave me permission to provide her name and phone number to the list. If you just want to order the book, send her a check ($50.00 or $53.25 for Florida residents) with your name, address and the name of the book ("Cemeteries of Upper Colleton County") as she has authored several books and she will send it to you. Mrs. Evelyn Bryan 1596 Lancaster Terrace, Unit 3-B Jacksonville, FL 32204 Phone: 904-358-2736 Sometimes her responses aren't quick, mainly because she suffers from macular degeneration and it is necessary for someone to read her mail to her and then her dictate a response to the letter, so allow a few weeks.
