I am replying to the following query about ALLEN families in Mecklenburg County, Virginia, in the 1760-70's era that appeared on the Edgefield District/County, South Carolina, list. I am cross posting to several Georgia lists as well. My Phillip Allin (Philip Allen) S31514 received a pension under the Pension Act of 1832 as a Rev. War Soldier as a resident of Clarke County, Georgia. Information in his pension claims that he was about 72 years old (b.c. 1760). Was born in King and Queen County, Virginia. First elisted in 1776 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia. He was serving in South Carolina in 1781 under General Greene and others. He apparently died in Clarke County, Georgia, c. 1838-40. I am not sure when he moved over into Georgia. He was probably in Wilkes or Oglethorpe or Greene County, Georgia, prior to showing up on the Clarke County, Georgia, taxlists on Robinson Creek in the section of Clarke County, Georgia, that became Oconee County, Georgia, as early as 1810. His post office was Watkinsville where Parmenas (sp?) Haynes was postmaster. Haynes and a Jeremiah Daniel were his character witnesses on his pension application. Haynes had previously appeared in Greene County, Georgia, land records around Woodville and Temperance Bell Crossroads (Jeremiah Lindsey's 200 acres of land). In 1819 Clarke County, Georgia, he married Sarah Robinson b. c. 1790 d. between 1870-80 Clarke County, Georgia. This was more than likely not his first marriage. Was Robinson her maiden name or from a previous marriage? They had several children gleaned from the census. He owned land, but appears to have either lost it or sold it by c. 1832. Their daughter, Mary Frances Ann Allen, m. James Crow in Clarke County, Georgia, in 1846. These were one set of my 2-great grandparents. Any early Robinson information would be appreciated. Any connections to the Allens of Mecklenbury in the query below? Anyone researching my Philip Allen?

Robert and Aaron were neighbors in Edgefield SC, and as far as I can tell have no other connections in Colleton District. Robert went on to name his first son Josiah Allen Christie, so I suspect a connection somewhere. I do not know the name of Robert's first wife and Josiah Allen Christie's mother, but have always suspected her to be a daughter of a Josiah Allen.

Sketches: Old Rds and Early Families by Margaret Watson, Attic Press, Inc., Greenwood, SC, 1970, p. 322, he died in young manhood, apparently unmarried. On one of my roaming trips with my mother where we stopped at every cem. we saw, we found a small old graveyard containing a Bud Caid Matthews dates 7/26/1798 - 10/28/1820. Could this fit here as sited by the Greenwood Sketches book. The cem. is located on hwy 246,, Greenwood Co - on the right from Saluda.

Dear List Members, I am replyng to the FRANKLIN/MARTIN query copied below that was posted to the Edgefield County, SC, list. I am cross posting my reply to the Aiken and Barnwell lists. I am interested in proving or disproving any early FRANKLIN/TOOLE connections in this area. I have a double TOOLE line out of Barnwell District/County, South Carolina. I have a genealogy file with just these Toole lines in it along with other connections in the area. There is a written down story that I got through the Toole Lawyers in Aiken that Isaac Toole married a sister of Benjamin Franklin. I have never been able to determine the original source of this complete story other parts of which do not match the facts found through genealogical research. It also claims that another Isaac Toole married a Cherokee Indian. Have not been able to prove or disprove that either. If he did it was more likely Tiscorouah (spelling??) from North Carolina. I and other Toole researchers have only found proof of one Isaac Toole in the Orangeburg-Winton-Barnwell Area c. 1778 from Bertie Precinct/Chowan area of North Carolina. When Isaac died in Barnwell c. 1812-14 without a will, his apparent widow was Keziah [_?_]. I am presuming that she was the mother of most or all of his children because the name of Keziah (with various spellings and misspellings) has come down in the various branches of the family. The times, names, and places are all wrong for a connection to the BENJAMIN FRANKLIN of Pennsylvania and the Revolutionary War era activities. The only proven connection, if it is, is that Benjamin Toole, son of Isaac and presumed Keziah [_?_], and Susan [_?_] named their oldest know son, Giles Franklin (G.F.) Toole. Other passed down information claims that Susan was a Heath. No proof of that either. There was a Giles Frankin I found mentioned in early Edgefield District/County records, I think an early deed as I am writing this from memory. A Bible record states that Benjamin Toole died October 18, 1841 in the 64th year of his age making him born c. 1777-78. Benjamin's tombstone apparently gives him the middle name of Franklin and other info may give him a middle initial of F. I suspect that the stone was put up at a somewhat later date than his death. Most Barnwell markers do not date back that far. My Toole line comes from Stephen Toole b. c. 1780 d. 1863 Barnwell District, South Carolina. Was there a blood connection between the Tooles of Barnwell and the Franklins of Edgefield/Barnwell??? Or were they just neighbors.

While I was at the local library today, I found this in the book A GENEALOGICAL COLLECTION OF S. C. WILLS AND RECORDS, Vol. 2, compiled by Miss Pauline Young, Copyright 1984, Southern Historical Press, Inc.. pg. 157 Estate of Thomas Brough Box 4 Pack 75, 1834 Abbeville Courthouse, South Carolina "Abbeville District I Thomas Brough of the state and district aforesaid being of sound mind and disposing memory do make this my last will and testament. Item 1st I give and bequeath to my wife Nancy Brough a negro woman named Fanny and at her death, the said negro woman Fanny to the property of my daughter MARGARET MATHEWS. I also give to my wife a negro boy named Pompey, two hundred dollars cash, a bed, bedstead and furniture and any other piece or pieces of household furniture she may desire to retain or to own, and at her death all of this property, except the above named negro woman Fanny, to be equally divided among my children. Item 2nd I give and bequeath unto my son James L. Brough a negro woman named Sally, also the tract of land he now lives on, but if he should have no legally begotten heirs of his body at the time of his death, then said tract of land to be equally divided among my children. Item 3? (I must have missed this because I go directly to ) Item 4 I give and bequeath to my daughter Nelly Scott, a negro woman named Dinah. Item 5th I give and bequeath to my son-in-law Peter Revil two hundred dollars in cash. Item 6 I give and bequeath unto my grandson John Lewis Brough three hundred dollars in cash. Item 7 All my personal property not otherwise disposed of, to be equally divided among all my children and my grandson John L. Brough. Lastly I nominate Joseph Mathews and Peter Bevil? (Revil?) , executors of this my last will and testament Witness my hand and seal this fifth day of August one thousand eight hundred and thirty- four and the fifty-ninthth year of the independence of the United States. Signed sealed and delivered in the presence of Joseph Callhan his Emanuel Wiss Thomas Brough Henry H. Townes mark Expenditures March 1836 Paid to Peter Bevil Bequest $200.00 Paid Nancy Brough Senr.

So this does show that a Margaret Brough did marry a Mathews. Hope

The Tompkins Memorial Library is on the square next to the public library. It is a wonderful library; the staff and volunteers are excellent. I was there in June. Be sure to eat at the Inn off the square; it was a delightful meal in an old antebellum home. June

I was at the SC Archives in Columbia in June. All of their info is indexed; one types in a word on a computer, and all records with notes containing that name are listed and where they're to be found at the library. The library staff were excellent. This is their website to access at home: www.archivesindex.sc.gov This site was down for awhile, but it was up the last time I used it. June

There are excellent Texas maps available online. I'll have to look up the address. I never go to the site for them because I have them here at home.

I found these two records at the SC State Arcives and believe it to be the probate record of Wiley Roper based on his beloved companion Margarite, who very may be Peggy.
