I do appolized. I did not know this happened until my email list started having all the gen web mailing list coming up on my computer.

Help!! Does anyone know the names of the parents of Bathsheba Jame Tidwell, born 1811/12 in Fairfield Co, and married to James Jameson, 04 Aug. 1831? Think the family may have been connected to the deGraffenreid family. Believe James and Bathsheba moved to Georgia after marriage. She is my g-g- grandmother who died in Ft White, Columbia Co FL in 1870. Thanks, JBell

Good morning, All. Below are my General Notes on Jose DANIELL of the Congarees. If anyone can link to Jose or others mentioned in the information below, please let know. In my effort to learn more about him, any other mentions of Jose, family links, or personal associations, would be greatly appreciated. Because associated surnames are spread among a number of SC Counties, I've posted to more than one list, kindly pardon that. Robert --- General Notes on Jose DANIELL: Seven references to Jose DANIELL (1757-1799), son of James DANIELL and grandson of William and Frances O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia, have been found. All name him as "Jose". Jose DANIELL was born 6 Dec 1757 (probably SC, maybe VA). His birth was recorded in the Bible of his father, James DANIELL of Fairfield County, South Carolina and Hancock County, Georgia. James DANIELL was a son of William O'DANIEL of Stafford County, Virginia. The 1790 Census lists Jose DANIEL in Richland County, Camden District, South Carolina with no family and 28 slaves. No record of Jose being married or having children has been found. Jose DANIELE is the last person named in the index of the 1797 Last Will and Testament of John MIERS of Richland County, South Carolina. Others indexed as in this Will are John MIERS, Patsy MIERS, Jacob MIERS, Cathareine (sic) MIERS, Nursessee (sic) HARRISON, Ann Harriot HARRISON, William GOODWYN, Nan (Slave), Martin H. LARY, William HOLLADAY, John CULPEPER, Jose DANIELE. (Source: MSS WILL: BOOK C, PAGE 151; Estate Packet: Box 21, Pkg 512) (2 Frames). (The "LE" may be "LL" on the original, the second "L" being mistaken as "E" when transcribed. RLD) Jose DANIELL, along with his brother, Levi DANIELL, and William HARDWICK Jr. were named executors of the 1797 LW&T of James DANIELL of Hancock County, Georgia in which he was given "three hundred acres of land lying on the Congaree River and 400 acres in a place called 'The Ridge' and ten Negro slaves viz Buchrage and his wife Magga, and their three children, also a Negro man named Sippia and Judy his wife and their children Sarah, Stepney?, and Long Tom and Shaba, also one feather bed to him and his heirs forever." The death of Jose DANIELL was reported in the South Carolina Gazette of April 5, 1799: "Died in Charleston, on Tues. the 26th ult. Mr. Jose DANIEL of the Congaree." Jose died about 14 months after his father, apparently unexpected and intestate. A record of suit against the estate of his father James DANIELL is recorded in Hancock County, Georgia, Deed Book C, p. 543. "We, James TAYLOR and Matthew HOWELL of South Carolina, and the said HOWELL being an administrator of the goods and chattles of Jose DANIELL, deceased, have appointed Doctor Robert HENRICK (HENDRICK) of the same place, our true and lawful attorney, for us, in our names jointly, to ask, demand, sue for, recover and receive such legacies & c which said James TAYLOR and Matthew HOWELL jointly or either in own right or as administrator for the said Jose DANIELL, may be entitled by law to receive from the estate of JAMES DANIELL, late of State of Georgia, deceased. This 8th Jun 1801. Wit: Peter BREMER. Recorded 15th Jul 1801." This Deed of Conveyance, said to start on Edgefield South Carolina Deed Bk. 29, page 494, was transcribed by Robert Daniell from electronic copies of original pages graciously provided by Martha Taylor of La Pine, Alabama. Portions of the edges of the pages were not visible, causing missing page numbers and omission of words where indicated by "..."

Capt. James TAYLOR, a brother-in-law, married 2 Dec 1772 in Columbia, SC to Sarah DANIELL who died 6 Dec 1793. James DANIELL's will included bequeaths: "Item. I give and bequeath unto my son-in-law James TAYLOR three Negroes, (viz) Jack, Hannah, and Jane to him and his heirs forever. Item. I give and bequeath unto the heirs of my daughter Sarah and James TAYLOR five Negroes viz: Hollon?, Jubiter, Abram, Solomon and Prince to them and their heirs forever." "Mary HOWELL the Relict of William HOWELL" appears to be Mary DANIELL, Jose's sister who apparently married second Dr. Robert HENDRICK. Matthew HOWELL, not known, possibly a child of William & Mary Daniell HOWELL, or a brother of Jesse Malachi HOWELL (son or Malachi and Martha Epps Goodwyn HOWELL) who married circa 1798 Patience TAYLOR, Jose's niece, daughter of Capt. James and Sarah Daniell TAYLOR. Dr. Robert HENDRICK, brother-in-law, married to Mary DANIELL, 21 May 1795, in Columbia, South Carolina. James DANIELL's will included bequeaths: "Item. I give and bequeath to my son-in-law Robert HANDRICK one tract of land on Alligator Creek which land he has my titles for. Also 50 acres of land on the Broad River to him and his heirs forever." and "Item. I give and bequeath to my granddaughter Patsy HANDRICK three Negroes viz Joe, Ruker, Fillis? I also give her one half of the Negroes that I have lent to my wife after the death of my wife, to her and her heirs forever." William HARDWICK, Jr. was a brother of Nancy Hardwick DANIELL, widow of James DANIELL. Phil. E. PEARSON, a grandson of John PEARSON and Mary RAIFORD of Camden Co., SC, and 1st cousin of Martha Pearson COOK, wife of Jose's brother, Levi DANIELL (deceased Dec 1800) of Richland Co., SC and Hancock Co., GA Peter BREMER, unknown, likely a son of John BREMER/AR, a neighbor of James DANIEL/LL indexed with James on numerous land transactions in South Carolina. Moses KIRKLAND was the husband of Patience RAIFORD and a neighbor of James DANIELL. The MIERS appear to have been Jose's neighbors. William GOODWYN possibly a cousin through the GOODWYN, RAIFORD, HOWELL, PEARSON and DANIELL (DANIEL) marriages .

It is doubtful that William KERR came over on "Chichester", which carried many emigrants from Ireland to South Carolina in the mid 1700's. It would have to had an unusually long working life it was that vessel. Of course, there was no doubt more than one vessel by that name. My HATHORN/HAWTHORN ancestors sailed to Charleston from Belfast aboard "Chichester" in 1767, and settled in the Winnsboro area. They were from Monaghan. As the vessel sailed out of the Belfast Lough, it apparently drew passengers from all over eastern Ulster.

Although I do not know if he came over on the Chichester, William Kerr (1823 - 1898) was from Co. Armagh, Ireland. This is on his headstone. Several headstones in Sion Cemetery in Winnsboro have inscriptions stating that the person buried was from County Antrim.

In January 1768 the brigantine Chichester, captained by William Reed, master, out of Belfast, Ireland arrived in Charleston, SC bearing emigrant families and single men who were destined for land grants in the buffer country. Some of these emigrant families received land grants in what is now Fairfield County, SC. I would like to know if anyone on the list is a descendant of or knows anything about any of the land grant recipients listed above. I have been trying to find out where in Scotland or Ireland any of these emigrants might have originated from. My forbearers on the "Chichester" were Robert and James Steele Kind regards, Harry Steele

I am also searching for a PHILLIPS family in Fairfield County, SC. I have learned that Mary Jane Phillips (1831-1868) was the first wife of my ancestor, Thomas Perry Ligon. She is laid to rest at Bethel ARP cemetery in downtown Winnsboro, SC beside her parents and brother. They are John B. Phillips (about 1785-1862) and wife [name unknown] (about 1798-1863). Her brother, Edward Phillips, was born in 1836 and died 1863. I have found "Jane Phillips, age 19" in the 1850 census when she lived in a Winnsboro hotel. I have no information on when she and Mr. Ligon were married, but I have to presume that it was after the 1850 census, and before he left for Tennessee to join the Confederate forces. Neither of them appear on the 1860 Fairfield County SC census.

I may have found the gravesite of Capt Eber A Rabb who died at home in FF County in Oct 1864.

Dear Lee Ann, Could you tell me more about this John Harbirt? I'm intrigued because, just as you lose track of him, I have someone with a similar name who shows up a few counties away. It may be a long shot, but I have a John Halbert (later Holbert) who appeared in Rutherford Co, NC around 1800 (listed in 1800 census as John HOLBUT) and whose origins are unknown--he doesn't match any of the Holbert or Halbert families in NC, SC or VA. This is about the same time that another of my families, the ARLEDGEs, came from Fairfield Co, SC to the same area of Rutherford County (now Polk), NC--the two families settled in adjacent mountain coves and their children intermarried. First land records I've been able to find for John Halbert are 1803-1804 in Deeds of Rutherford County: Vol 25 p52: Indenture dated 11 Jan 1803 between William Hix of County of Buncombe and state of North Carolina and John Halbert of County of Rutherford and state of North Carolina...for L 200 .....tract in Rutherford county containing 100 acres on both sides of Alston Creek of Green River...etc.. /s/ William Hix Witness: J Miller John Lewis Vol 25 p 37: Indenture dated 21 Nov 1804 between William Tilghman and Peter Stephen Dupancane, Esqrs. Abm Kitsing, Junior, George Worrell and Tench Cox by Peter Fisher, their attorney-in-fact, 1st part and John Halbert of the county of Rutherford, State of North Carolina, other part .... for $150 tract of land in Rutherford Co., at head of Alstons Creek including his own improvements beginning at a hickory on the east side of a branch below his house and his own corner...containg 50 acres with all ways, woods, waters, members and appurtenances to the dam..../s/ William Tilghman, Peter Stephen Dupancean, Abraham Kinzing Jr, George Worrell, Tench Cox By Peter Fisher If my hunches are correct, this John Halbert married Sarah Steel in Amherst Co, VA in 1792. However, he doesn't appear to have been from that county--there are no records of his family in that area previously. This is an ongoing mystery to a large group of us researching this family, so I'm willing to pursue any trail to try to solve it. Thanks for sharing what you know on your John and Thomas Harbirt/Harbert.

Does anyone know anything about Thomas Harbert or John Harbirt. Thomas owned a considerable amount of land south of Jenkinsville in the 1770s-1780s. John appears in the 1790s, then I lose their trail. They lived near the Cooks and Pearsons and Longs about 1/2 way between Jenkinsville and Miles Creek near the Broad. Thanks! Lee Ann
