I'm addressing this because of some questions that have come to me recently. I hope it is helpful to someone. The information recorded on the 1820 U.S. Federal Census includes: a. name of head of family b. number of free white males in the following age brackets- for males - under 10, age 10-15, age 16-18, age 16-25, age 26-45, over age 45 *Notice that there could be an overlap from column 3 to colum 4. Thus any male listed in column 3 would also be included in column 4. The recorded information for females does not include the 16-18 bracket. Information should relect living status on the first Monday in August, not the date the census was actually taken. Source: www.genealogylibrary.com Drew Welch

Good afternoon, All. A number of my cousins from SC went to Freestone County, Texas, from Alabama, particularly about 1850 . Yesterday I stumbled on the Americus L. DANIEL family there in the 1910 census when I was looking for Clara FRYER and husband A. J. BROWNE. Two things caught my attention: the children's names Sumter and Bryan, and that Americus' family lived between two families of my cousins, that of Addison Jubilee BROWNE and wife Clara FRYER, a descendant of Josiah L. and Mary Daniel DANIEL of Edgefield, SC and George W. FRYER, Clara's brother, whose mother Martha Elizabeth "Lizzie" DANIEL, dau of William Frances DANIEL and Frances RIDDLE, lives in his household. The three censuses below track Americus and show his father as "Steven", born abt 1830 in SC. I can't connect him to one of my DANIEL lines, but he may be a son of Stephen DANIEL, b. abt 1793, son of William and Lucretia Bell DANIEL of Edgefield. At this point, I have no other information on Stephen, b. 1793. Any assistance in identifying the family line of this Americus L. DANIEL greatly appreciated. 1880 T9-1304 page 599C S. A.

After McKinney Melton died, she remarried to James M. Davis and went to Attala Co MS with the children of this marriage. She had three additional children from her second marriage: James, Sophia and Joseph. A court case (which went to GA State Supreme Court) between the children of McKinney Melton's first marriage and Harriet as to who should get the proceeds of the estate mentions that Harriet married to an Irving - but I have been unable to find that - only her being married to James Davis. In the court case, the only child not joining in from McKinney's first marriage was Jane, wife of James Cloud (from Edgefield Dist originally). I wonder if Harriet was a Cloud because of this and Harriet seems to have been a name repeated in the Cloud family. Some have suggested she is a Hughes. If she is a CLoud, and since James Cloud is originally from Edgefield Dist, there may be clues there. THanks, Trish Elliott-Kashima

Searching for information on Martha who was the wife of McKinney Melton. I do not believe she was the dau of Daniel Rogers, as she is not mentioned in his probate. She was born 24 Feb 1777, and died ca 1830 probably in Houston Co GA. McKinney Melton was b ca 1777, probably in Edgefield Dist SC. He died Oct 1840, Macon Co GA. I suspect their marriage was ca 1796. Children born to this marriage were: Jane, Elbert William, Polly Ann/Lucretia, Matthew, Henry Sampson, Margaret Mariah, Stephen Jefferson. First mention of them together was as a witness to a bond OCt 16, 1797, Edgefield Dist SC, where McKinney Melton and Marthy his wife witness a bond between Frederick Williams, Isaac Reed, WIlliam Melton, Elisha Wilson, Daniel Rogers and E-- Crow. The people in the bond were heirs to Daniel Rogers Sr. I suspect the witnessing by McKinney and Martha were more a function of a connection between McKinney Melton and William Melton than between Martha and Daniel Rogers. THanks! , Trish ELliott-Kashima

Searching for the surname of Nancy, wife of Matthew Melton. He was from Edgefield Dist. She was born 24 Oct 1800 in SC; died 10 Aug 1868, Marion Co GA; buried Union Baptist Church Cemetery. Marriage date pre 1828 when first known child was born. Matthew Melton was son of McKinney Melton and Martha -----; born 16 Sept 1807 Edgefield Dist SC; died 7 May 1897, Marion Co GA; also buried Union Baptist Church Cemetery. Children to this marriage were: Louisa Jane, Martha Ann, Mary Ann, Richard Wiley. Since the marriage date appears to be when she was over 25 years old, I wonder if she was married before her marriage to Matthew. I have not been able to find Matthew's marriage recorded in SC or in GA. Thanks, Trish Elliott-Kashima

I am unclear as to the setup of the Edgefield Village Cemetery. The Edgefield Co. Cem. Book Vol. I published by O.E.D.G.S. 1997 shows a map of the Edgefield Village Cemetery and divides it into 4 sections to facilitate location of graves. They then say the Edgefield Village Cemetery grave listings includes the Trinity Epsicopal Cemetery, Edgefield Village Baptist Cemetery, and Willowbrook Cemetery, noted as "a private cemetery which adjoins the Edgefield Village Cemetery"). Which sections (#1-4) correspond to which named cemeteries? If I have an ancester buried in "Section I" is he a Baptist or an Episcopalian, or other? Can someone clarify how the "sections" as listed in the book correspond to the various cemeteries incorporated into Edgefield Village Cemetery? Thanks, Mary Lou Perrin Bailey

You would expect complexity about families named Smith or Jones. The surname Gallman is normally not so difficult to pin down...except in Edgefield in 1770 and later, where one finds descendants of three unrelated Gallman families. In the 1750's, there were two unrelated Henry Gallman families living a couple of creeks apart in Saxegotha. One Henry Gallman arrived from Zürich in 1735. His history is summarized in a family biography posted at www.palmettoroots.org. The other Henry Gallman arrived in Saxegotha in ~1750. On 1 Sep 1752, he petitioned for 300 acres of land on behalf of himself, his wife, two children, and two slaves. He did NOT apply for a Bounty grant, so he had not emigrated directly from Europe to SC. His birthplace is unknown. He might have been born in one of the colonies, or else immigrated first to a province other than SC. The Henrys can be hard to tell apart. "Zürich-Henry" is associated with Congaree Creek and Savannah Hunt Creek, was sometimes called Capt. Henry Gallman, signed his name in full, died in 1767 with an estate of 800 acres on which his heirs paid taxes, and almost all of his (many) legal documents were witnessed or executed by one or more of his Geiger in-laws. "Other-Henry" is associated with Tom's Creek, was sometimes called Henry Coleman/Gallman Jr. in order to distinguish him from the slightly-older and unrelated Henry who lived just up the river, marked his documents with an X, died before 1767 with an estate of 550 acres on which his heirs paid taxes, and none of his (few) legal documents was witnessed by a Geiger. Both of these Saxegotha Henry Gallmans had descendants in Edgefield in 1771 and/or later, where they all lived near a third unrelated family called Goleman in the 18th-c., but Gallman later. Sometimes genealogical puzzles can get VERY interesting! The Henry Gallman you asked about (married to Catherine Heller) was a resident of Newberry and Union counties, and was a grandson of the "other Henry of Saxegotha". Naturally, he had some relatives in Edgefield! Information about his descendants is posted at www.rongallman.gallman.com/genmain.htm. The information is mostly accurate from the Eighth Generation page on down. Family of the "other Henry Gallman of Saxegotha": The two children he had by 1753 included daughter Elizabeth, who married George Keith in 1759. There is indirect evidence that the other child was a son named George, who did not survive to maturity. A son (probably born soon after 1753) was named John. Henry Gallman/Coleman Jr. died before 1767, left no will or estate papers. His widow Kesiah died in 1766. Daughter Elizabeth Coleman and her husband George Keith, as next-of-kin, were granted administration of the estate on 7 Jan 1767 (Probate Records of SC, Vol. 3, Journal of the Council of Ordinary 1764-1771, p. 31). If son John had been aged 18 (probably even 16) by then, he would have been the legal "next-of-kin", so he is certain to have been born in 1749 or later. In ~1770, John Gallman married Christina Gray, oldest daughter of George Gray of Cannon's Creek in the Dutch Fork (current Newberry Co). She was born after 1753, when her father arrived from Germany with his parents (as a single man). John and Christina settled on land on Cannon's Creek--adjacent to his in-laws--which he'd purchased from local Dunker minister David Martin. He was apparently a successful planter, since he was listed as a Grand Juror for the region in 1778-9, immediately following the names George Gray Sr. (his father-in-law) and George Gray Jr. (his brother-in-law). Neither they nor John Gallman chose the winning side during the Recent Unpleasantness, but John's brother-in-law Frederick Gray was a militia captain on the Whig side under Col. Philemon Waters. The family had all bets covered. John and Christina Gallman had three (known) surviving sons: 1. George (b. ~1772, d. 1807). He married Ann Elizabeth Ruff, daughter of Christian Ruff. Her gravestone in the Gallman cemetery east of Newberry says "died 30 September 1844, aged 74 years", so she was born in ~1770. George is buried there with her, as are his parents John and Christina Gallman (although their stones include no dates). George's 2-page will is filed in Newberry Co, section 1805-1826, "Loose will", Page 4. 2. John (b. ~1776, d. 12 Feb 1826) married Susanna Gray (3 Dec 1787 - 6 Apr 1852), daughter of George Gray Jr. and Catherine Dewalt (so his first cousin). They are buried in the DeWalt-Gray-Gallman cemetery in Newberry Co. There's an interesting footnote about their family. His daughter Lavinia married Sam Cannon, owner of a large plantation with many slaves. This family apparently did not practice the "Simon Legree" method of forcing slaves to work themselves to death. One of Lavinia's freed slaves, Sim Greely, survived until the early 20th-c., when scholars began collecting oral histories from former slaves. Mr. Greely's recollections of "Miss Viny Cannon" were remarkably warm, and he refused to leave her following Emancipation. Greely had a near-photographic memory of the events of 50 years previously, since everything he reported about which Newberry-Gallmans went to war, which of them came back, who-married-whom, etc., is precisely what the 1860's muster-rolls and other documents say. His experience was very-evidently different from that of most slaves. A Google-search on <"Sim Greely" Gallman> will locate his story. 3. John Henry (b. ~1780) married Catherine Heller, daughter of John Heller and Catherine XX Glymph, on 26 Apr 1798. They moved from Newberry to Union county by 1816. John Gallman (b. ~1754) died in 1788. His will, signed 3 Sep 1788, is listed on pp. 30-32 of Newberry Co Will Abstracts Book A (1787-1796). The will of his father-in-law George Gray (Sr.) is dated 9 Nov 1795, pp. 350-354 of Newberry Co Will Book A. Daughter Christina, widow of John Gallman, was left 150 acres adjacent to the land of her late husband on Cannon's Creek. The Dutch Fork genealogy site at http://dutchforkchapter.org includes (referenced) biographies of many of the families with collateral connections to the Newberry/Union Gallmans: Gray, Ruff, Heller, Cannon, Glymph, Counts, etc. If one of your Edgefield Gallmans has a Newberry connection, this is a good site to check out. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2004 1:51 PM Subject: Henry Gallman and Catherine Haller > What Gallman line is this Henry Gallman off of?Any one have dates on this Henry Gallman? > > Debra Maddox Wilson > Greenback,Tn

What I have started doing in this case is, (Outlook Express) I set up my "message rules" (in tools) to automatically "copy" all my surname and county, etc emails to a separate folder, (similar to the way a spam filter does incoming spam), and occasionally open that folder and use "find" and search all my surnames and any other search words that pertain to my lines. I get dozens of mails a day from many different lists and it's might near impossible to read them all. Obviously everyone's incoming stuff would vary so just use your imagination on how to set up the most efficient sub folders so you can catch as much info as possible. You can refine and improve your methods whenever you see fit. Or: Periodically you could just drag and drop all gen mails into a folder and use your search words. Or: Flag or color incoming mails that contain certain names/words in the message body. It's not perfect but I have caught little things that would have slipped by otherwise.

What Gallman line is this Henry Gallman off of?Any one have dates on this Henry Gallman? Debra Maddox Wilson Greenback,Tn

Mr. Daniell: In the post below there is reference to Nicholson - Norris Cemetery. I now believe that my families of NORRIS and JOHNSTON migrated from the Edgefield/Aiken Counties of South Carolina to Lincoln County, Tennessee. My gg grandfather was Howell JOHNSTON and he married Orphia NORRIS. I am interested in the Nicholson-Norris Cemetery in this post and if any JOHNSTON / NORRIS family that I may be descended from may be buried there. Is this a small family cemetery and has it been maintained? If there is a connection to the THREEWITS family would there be a possibility that the NORRIS and JOHNSTON families were originally from Brunswick County VA. before coming to Edgefield County, SC?
