With permission of the Dillon Herald I am posting the following article I found on the microfilm at the Dilllon Library. Can anyone tell me more about the Sarah Moody mentioned in the last paragraph. Helen Moody The Dillon Herald - June 29, 1933 No indication of author. William Stackhouse Founder of the Stackhouse Family of This Section At the recent Stackhouse Reunion some local history was developed which may be of interest to our readers. The Stackhouse family originally resided in the village of Stackhouse in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The original Stackhouse home in this village still stands and a recent picture of it was shown at the reunion. In 1680, two brothers, Thomas and John Stackhouse, came from Yorkshire to Pennsylvania with William Penn. Both settled in Bucks County, Pa. Robert Stackhouse, the third son of Thomas, was expelled from the Quaker society for horse racing. He and his family then moved and became scattered. William Stackhouse, the seventh child of this Robert Stackhouse and his wife, Margaret Stone, settled on the John S. Thompson plantation between Dillon and Little Rock. William was born in 1736 in Bucks County, Pa. He married Mary Bethea, a sister of Buck Swamp John and Sweat Swamp William Bethea. It is not known whether he married her in Nansemond County, Va., where the Bethea family originally lived or whether he married her in South Carolina. At the time of her marriage to William Stackhouse she was a widow with three children. Her first husband was Dred or Ethelred Rogers. They settled on the Thompson plantation in 1760. The first house was built back near the river and stood for many years near where the old Stackhouse Cemetery is located on the rear of the Thompson plantation. Later a new house was built near where the Thompson residence now stands. Part of the original house was incorporated into the new home. Later Honorable T. F.. Stackhouse a great grandson of William, built a new home, on this spot and again put part of the original home into the new home. Still later the late Dolph Stackhouse remodeled the T. F. Stackhouse home. Still later Mr. J. S. Thompson still further improved the residence but at all times the part of the original William Stackhouse home was preserved in the alterations. William Stackhouse and his wife, Mary Bethea are both buried in the old Stackhouse cemetery. No markers for their graves exist. Both of these died about 1805 William and Mary had two sons, John and William. John married Celia Atkinson of Gallesboro - now Marion. John and his wife, Celia, are both buried in the old Stackhouse cemetery. There are markers to their graves. This couple lived on the same plantation. They raised six children Herod, Isaac, John, Tristram, Nancy and Hugh. The son John was twice married but had no children. Tristram was a minister, a member of the South Carolina Conference. He never married. He is buried at Murray's Chapel, near St. George, S.C. where he died in 1829. Hugh was drowned in Little Pee Dee River as a young unmarried man. It is probable that both Hugh and John the younger are buried at the Stackhouse cemetery but no markers are there for them. Herod Stackhouse married Nancy Roper. Both he and his wife are buried at the Roper burial ground between Dillon and Little Rock. They are the ancestors of John Hugh and Marvin Stackhouse and that branch of the family. Isaac Stackhouse married Martha Roper, a sister to Nancy Roper, Herod's wife. Isaac was the father of Hon. Hugh Milton Stackhouse and the ancestor of Bascom Stackhouse, Dolph Stackhouse and others. This couple is also buried at the Roper burial ground. Nancy, the only daughter of John Stackhouse and Celia Atkinson, married Allen Gaddy. They are also buried at the Roper cemetery. They were the ancestors of the numerous Gaddys around Latta, in Marlboro and elsewhere. These three, Herod and Isaac Stackhouse and Nancy Gaddy, are the ancestors of the family in South Carolina, now numbering over 700 members. Isaac Stackhouse lived on the plantation now owned by J. B. Gibson, lying on the Dillon-Little Rock highway just this side of the Thompson plantation. This house was built in 1824, the year of the birth of Col. E. T. Stackhouse. The lumber in this house was hauled from Fayetteville by team. It was later owned by Robert B. Stackhouse,who died in 1874. It was then acquired by James H. Berry who married a daughter of E., T. Stackhouse. The house was destroyed by fire about 1897. William Stackhouse, the younger, married Sarah Moody of near Marion. They had two sons and six daughters. The oldest of these sons, James, married Sarah Ann Crawford of near Marion. William Stackhouse and his entire family first moved to Edgefield District, S.C., and from there to Copiah County, Miss. All of the children, except James, married in Mississippi. William and his wife are both buried in the old cemetery at Crystal Springs, Miss. Their descendants live in Mississippi and neighboring states today.
