I am the 5th gr.grandson to James Messer born 1735 in Edgefeild Co. S.C. I have read many lists and emails and have yet to see the Messer name. James Messer's 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's 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 in the Edgefield area mentioned in the will. If anyone has seen the Messer name in Edgefield Co., please let me know. Thank you... Delbert H.
