ELIZA ANN JEFFRIES In memory of Mrs. Eliza Ann Jeffries, who under a sudden attack of pneumonia, fell asleep in Jesus on the 14th of Feb. 1880 at the residence of her son-in- law Prof. W.P. McKeller, Childersburg, Ala. Mrs. Jeffries was the daughter of Thomas and Eliza Ann Anderson, was born in Edgefield Dist., South Carolina, Jan. 15, 1807, therefore at her death was in her 74th year. In 1830 she was, upon the confession of her faith in Christ, immersed and joined the Baptist church at the Lester Springs, Edgefield Dist. South Carolina. On the evening of the 12th of November 1833 she was married to H.L. Jeffries by Rev. Chas. D. Mallory. In 1840, preferring to take the bible and the bible alone for her rule of faith and practice, she with her husband united themselves to the Christian Congregation known as Disciples or the Church of Christ, in Augusta, Ga. in which connection she lived in faith, hope and love, until she passed into that divine rest prepared for the people of God. Her pure piety and implicit trust in Christ as her Savior, her love for God her heavenly father, her knowledge of, and love for the word of God, especially the New Testament, made her ever cheerful and happy. Her kindness of heart, social character and ever readiness to excuse, forgive and cover the faults of others, together with her patience, meekness and gentleness, was indeed remarkable and won the love and admiration of all. Dear friends, in our musing, do we apprehend what a glorious event it is for the pure in heart to die. Our Mother, who had long been our guardian angel, changed worlds, and when the sunlght of the eternal world fell upon her brow, we saw in her placid face, the radiance of a smiling angel; when we looked into her tender eyes and gazed upon her smiling countenance, we saw as others did, that her mortal garments had waxed old and feeble, but it was not to us a symbol of decay, for in her long past and within and beyond, we recognized her in all her beauty, loveliness and eternal happiness. Her long life with its youthful romance, its prosaic cares, its quiet sunshine, as well as its trials and troubles, was culminating to its close and as the end drew near, all clouds, fogs, and mists rolled away, she stepped forth with oil in her lamp, accompanied by angels and entered into the brilliancy of God's eternal son. Oh, then we felt that it would be selfishness to weep and could but join in congratulations, for her life was beautiful and her death triumphant. Beside her couch we sat and traced with loving fancy the new life then opening before her, yea, with tears and smiles we recognized it. Doubts never appeared in our view, for from earliest childhood, we have no memories of her inconsistencies, in word or in deed, to that of a true christian. Throughout the last day she said but little, but her serene and happy countenance gave abundant evidence that angels were taking her to their companionship. Without a sign or the move of a muscle, she resigned her worn out body to us. While her immortal soul clothed in the bridal garments which she had woven, washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb, joined the Bridegroom and entered Heaven. Sweet Mother. She is breathing vernal zephyrs now, and with every breath a spring like life and joy are wafted through her being. Mother, beautiful and beloved, some sweet embryo of joy fills the chambers of our hearts, as we contemplate the scenes with which you are becoming familiar; which greatly consoles your aged husband and devoted children.

I have read many lists and emails and have yet to see the Messer name. I am the 5th gr.grandson to James Messer b.1735 in Edgefeild Co. S.C. His children were William, Stephen, John Jr., Jacob, Moses, Sarah, Sion, Prudence, Benjamin and Samuel. John is my 4th gr.granfather. I joined your site hopeing to go back futher to James father and possably the emigrant origon. I did find a will naming two of his son's as witnesses and that one of them later obtaned some of the land mentioned in the will. If anyone has seen the Messer name in Edgefield Co., please let me know. Thank you... Delbert H. Messer Jr. (Del)

Marguerite is at Row 211. She is here based upon the 1900 Saluda census for her family with brothers and sisters attached. George I am unsure of he is not there in 1900. I have not completed work on the 450 families athat are presented on these time sheets. As I need them, I work them. Otherwise they are just accumulated information put in the best place that appears. As we learn more, refinements come. For anyone that has Excel here is the updated Edwards families to the best of my knowledge at this date in time. Are some likely to change, yes. None that do not have RIN numbers after their name are published. I do have an Elizabeth Eva EDWARDS at Line 359. Is she the E. Eves daughter in the 1900 census, very likely but I do not have the time now to work on her to see if she is Preston's daughter or Amanda STACHER and James Madison Edward's daughter. Based upon the April 1888 birth, I believe that she belongs to Preston & Eugenia Edwards. When I go to James Madison, he too has a daughter Eva b. May 1888. So both have the daughter and which is which ?? Will take some work. Eva Elizabeth Edwards (b. 4/4/1888 Edgefield SC, d. 5/14/1965 Saluda SC)[1900](m.

I am trying to find information on Col. George Henry Chapman from the Newberry District during the Civil War, can anyone tell me how he is related to the Chapman line. Thank you, Margie Puckett King

In the records of the immigrants to the Germanna II colony in Virginia, the "first" name of the children were always that of the family's traditional male & female patron saints. So a family might have Anna Margaretha, Anna Maria, Anna Magdalena---of course, the daughters were called Margaretha, Maria, and Magdalena. I have never heard of this "disallowed" middle names before--- that doesn't mean it wasn't true at some point, possibly for some part of the English Colonial empire.

Can anyone tell me more about the family of Mary Allen, daughter of Josiah Allen Sr (1733-1781) and Elizabeth DeLoach Allen (1750-1843) who married Robert Christie. I am unable to prove that she is the daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth, nor that she married Robert Christie, and would appreciate any help there too. I see from a posting on rootsweb that this is said to have occurred, but would like to be able to prove the relationship. Robert Christie had a son named Josiah Allen Christie (my line), so this seems like a good fit. For this reason I have always suspected this relationship between Christie and Allen, but this is the first I have seen where this is reported to be so. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know about that. I know of a few people from well before the Revolution who had middle names and none of them were royalty or even "landed gentry". In the cases that I have personal knowledge of middle names were derived from the surnames of related families (e.g. a mother's maiden name or even the last name of a married aunt, etc.).

I am cleaning up...... you should see my "office".... As I do so, I am finally getting to some of the marked items in several Quills that I In the May/June 2006, p. 63, the obit of John Allen Lott, 86 yrs old , was published in the Edgefield Advertiser Sept 20, 1893. I am trying to place this John Allen Lott, as I have several in my files. Obit reads: "Mr. John Allen Lott - "Uncle Allen" - died on Saturday morning last, under the roof or Wm. Lott, Esq. - a kindly roof that had sheltered the old gentleman for 14 years. "Uncle Allen" was the last of his generation - the last generation of Lotts all of whom were honored and beloved by their fellow men. Before the war we remember "Squire" Allen Lott as a popular Magistrate for Ward best. He was in his 86th year. This would make his birth ca 1807. I did not find a cem listing in the cem. records that I have available to me. I did find the following census listing that might be this John A. CENSUS: 1870 Edgefield Co, SC, Spring Grove township, Lotts PO, p. 500B, HH 444/480 Allen Lott, M W 62, Farm laborer, $500/0 SC America Cullum, F W 16, SC America later married Emory Hanson Rhoden. I do not know the relationships here. Can anyone help me to place this John A. Lott into his family? Did he marry? Please give source to support your conclusions.

Please read this message carefully before taking any action. The migration of the Edgefield list has been rescheduled to 11 September, which might be confusing to some. We know the list as Edgefield, but the official name is SCEDGEFl, so it migrates with the Ss. This list is hands down the largest list I manage. We have 239 regular subscribers and 76 digest subscribers. Some of you may be subscribed in both modes. With the new software, you have to be one or the other, you can not be both a regular and a digest subscriber. If you are both, during the conversion, you will be automatically subscribed to the regular list. If you prefer the digest, you will have to unsubscribe as a regular subscriber and resubscribe as a digest subscriber. If you do not know how to do this, go to rootsweb.com and follow the links for mail lists. The other difficulty is that if you are a digest subscriber, and have been receiving your digest in MIME format, you will have to send me an e-mail requesting me to set you up in MIME format.. Please write to me personally at msvnhrn@jps.net, DO NOT MAKE YOUR REQUEST BY WAY OF THE LIST. Do not take any action, until after I notify the list that the migration has been completed. Wait a few days before moving from regular to digest, if you find yourself on the regular list and you want digest. Unfortunately, I will be out of town when the list is schedulted to migrate. I will have a computer with me and will check on progress or lack thereof. For those of you who need to be changed to MIME for the digest, I may not be able to respond as fast as I normally do, so have patience with me. If I have missed something, please let me know off-list, and I will take care of it. Marleen Van Horne Edgefield List Manager

Billie, maryloo (Marilyn) is a cousin that I just met for the first time a couple of months back when me and one of my uncles drove down to Edgefield to meet her for lunch. Marilyn's grandmother (my great grandmother) was Nancy (Nannie) Belle Owdom who married Ernest Gary Matthews. At the bottom here I'll paste a tree showing the confirmed family as I have it now. I suggested that Marilyn subscribe to the list as I haven't had the time to look very deep into this family beyond what I have. H.C. Ouzts kindly sent me his Owdom spreadsheet a while back which I gave to Marilyn to give her some ideas on where to look and she's working off the assumption that if you go back further than what I have we are descended from a Willis Odom and Mary Watson.
