In past years I corresponded with Cecil Ray Beam, James W. Green III and Wes Coleman, but have lost track of their current email addresses. Does anyone perhaps have a current address for any or all of these gentlemen? Thanks, Glenna Kinard PS...one thing I need help on Charles(?) Feaster Porter (Max) Coleman (1869-1951), son of Henry Jonathan (Foot) Coleman Jr. and Hattie Eliz Porter Coleman Feaster.

Doylene, I don't have any information on the Grahams that moved out of Fairfield to Alabama in 1830, but some of my Union Co. families moved to Pickens Co. Al at about the same time. Bill. Thanks for the DAR information. Hannah and Thomas Crosby are my ancestors so I was aware of their Rev war service. John and Richard were brothers of Thomas Crosby. I may have know about their service but not sure. I'll add you information to my database though. Thanks, Susan -- Susan C.

Of possible interest in regard to not finding any Crosby names in Fairfield/Chester. The following is a database search of DAR records. If this does NOT list your patriot then you might want do go a step further by looking up his wife and kids and see if he or anyone with his name receive a pension. I forget the exact year maybe 1832 the government started giving out pensions for service if the soldier had the required length of combat time. In each case listed below there is a genealogical record for one or more, usually many more, ladies who filed for membership. These records require a fee for copying but can be had and are VERY valuable as they frequently had thousands of hours of work done such that all you have to do is boilerplate your line into the member's ancestry. Several look interesting. The "A" number is the application number of a lady who filed. I'm surprised that more than one isn't listed but sometimes more are listed when you request the file. A local history librarian or a LDS genealogy room in a local LDS church can explain how its done. I am NOT LDS but find that they usually have the inside stuff on how to get at the records.

The Crosbys were enumerated in Fairfield and Chester Counties. They lived near the border. I suspect that James Park came from Scotland or Ireland, but in the 1880 Fairfield Co. census, Charlotte Parks Crosby indicated that her father was born in SC. I noticed though that on the page all of the parents were born in SC, so don't know if the census taker just put SC or if James was in fact born in SC. My Parks line ended with Charlotte so I don't know what happened to the other children. BTW, Thomas Crosby and Charlotte Parks Crosby are buried in the Stephen Crosby Cemetery, in extreme northwestern Fairfield Co. SC off Hwy 215, near Chester and Union Counties. Here is my line from James Park to my father. James PARKS (1760 - 1829) Charlotte PARKS (1805 - 1881) born and died in Fairfield Co. m Thomas Crosby - David CROSBY (1827 - 1899) born in Chester/Fairfield Co. SC m Emmaline Nevitt Elizabeth "Bettie" Nevitt CROSBY (1851 - 1940) Fairfield to Union, SC m Elias Clark David Crosby CLARK (1873 - 1927) Anderson, SC to Union, SC m Essie Jones Robert Lake CLARK (1915 - 1991) my father As you can see my family stayed in SC although many siblings moved away to AL, MS, TX Some of my other Fairfield names are Coleman, Nevitt and Hutchison. I've been able to trace their ancestry back to the original immigrant. Parks is my only Fairfield mystery. Thanks, Susan -- Susan C.

Hello Susan, I checked a local census taken in 1829 and found neither any Park/Parks nor Crosby listed. However, if the family lived near the county border it's possible they were missed in that census, which, as I understand, was taken for tax purposes. In the 1790 census, there is a James Parks, showing a household of seven. There's also a John Parks, likewise with a household of seven, and a John Parker with seven, and a William Parks with a household of three. None were slave owners. No Crosbys were found, so perhaps they moved there later. It's a pity the early censuses didn't give much detail If you haven't already checked, you should look at DAR records because James Park was certainly of age by the time Cornwallis invaded Fairfield County toward the close of the Revolutionary War. Many able-bodied men were in the militia at that time, as was my own direct ancestor, William Gardner Ford, who resided in Fairfield County. I have a few of the books of "indents," which were pieces of paper given to each Revolutionary War soldier in South Carolina as proof of his military service. I'll check for your ancestor there. If someone has joined the DAR in your family line because of your ancestor's military service, you may be able to get records from the DAR in Washington DC. The local 1829 census is taken from Fitz Hugh McMaster's book, "History of Fairfield County South Carolina," It was first published in 1946 by The State Commercial Printing Company, Columbia SC. Sad to say, the book was printed without an index, and no one so far as I know has taken up the task of indexing it. I'll check through it more thoroughly and get back to you. It would be helpful to know if your ancestors ever left Fairfield County and if so, when. There was a big out-migration in the 1830s as land opened up on the frontier, especially to Alabama's western lands when they were opened up following a treaty with the Choctaw Indians. If they landed in Alabama, there's a good chance they moved to Greene County, then to Sumter County, or headed further west later on into Mississippi. Also, where do you live? If you're planning a trip to SC, I recommend the Fairfield Museum's collection in Winnsboro, the county seat. The name of the museum director is (Ms.) Pelham Lyles. There is a large DAR collection there but I'm not sure if that section of the museum is staffed just now. In addition, the SC State Archives has a limited number of records on line--mostly, however, it's indexes to records, but if you find anything on line about your ancestor, you can order a copy from the Archives. I caution you, however, that sometimes I've executed an online search of the Archives to no avail for records I know are there because I got copies of them when I was at the Archives. Please write back and let me know if you've traced your Park line after they may have left Fairfield County. I'll also check the transcripts I have of Fairfield Will record books just in case I find Park or Crosby there--my copies aren't complete, however. Best wishes on your research and if you'd like to talk about your research, send me your phone number and a good time to call. I have Vonage phone service so it costs me nothing to call.

I am looking for any information on James Park( c1760- 1829) who was living in Fairfield Co. SC from at least 1790 until he died. His wife was called something like "Heney" as far as I could make out from his probate papers. His probable daughter Charlotte Parks Crosby ( 1805-1881)is my ancestor. James Park is listed right beside Dennis Crosby, uncle of Charlotte's husband in 1810 and would have had two girls Charlotte's age. James lived in the area of Fairfield Co. close to Chester Co. where the Crosbys lived. Another possible son or nephew is Robert Park/Parks (1784-1853) of Fairfield who married Mary "Polly" Crosby, an aunt of Charlotte's husband Thomas. According to the census he had about eight children. There is an Alexander Park in the 1810 Fairfield Co. census between 16 and 25 who could be another son or relative.

Does anyone know the middle name or middle initial of David Crosby (1827-1899) who was buried in the Crosby family Cemetery in Fairfield Co. SC. David married Emaline Nevitt and probably lived in Winnsboro and then moved to Anderson, SC sometime before their last daughter was born in 1869. David was the son of Thomas Crosby and Charlotte Parks Crosby. I have in my records that David Crosby served in the Civil War, but I don't know whether he enlisted from Fairfield Co or he was in Anderson by then.

Susan,  I checked on the site Fold3.com, which has civil war muster rolls. There are about 15 separate sheets in one David W. Crosby's folder.  This one was in Co. F, 11th Reg't SC Infantry.  Last sheet shows this "David Crosby" died in service "Killed at Swift Creek Va. May 9, 1864." Each of the sheets show he enlisted at "Pocotaligo" by W. W. Elliott, Aug 5, 1861. ------------------------------- D. D. (Daniel D) Co. F, 11 South Car. Infantry. mentions enlisted at Pocotaligo. ------------------------------------------------------- Daniel D [same file] shows "Died of wounds received at Swift Creek, Va. May 9, 1864. ---------------------------------------- So, I think it must be Daniel David or David Daniel... ???  same death date, same battle. Pocotaligo is in Jasper, Co, SC. These were the only David's shown at this site. ________________________________ From: Susan Johanson <scjohanson5@comcast.net> To: scfairfi@rootsweb.com; scanders@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, November 22, 2011 12:43:47 PM Subject: [SCFAIRFI] David Crosby Does anyone know the middle name or middle initial of David Crosby (1827-1899) who was buried in the Crosby family Cemetery in Fairfield Co.

Allen Coleman was the son of Robert Coleman, Jr., who is said to have been the son of Robert Coleman, Sr., although Robert Jr. was not mentioned in Robert Sr.'s will although he was still living, not even to get the one shilling the girls could get "if demanded"! I've seen some researchers list a lot more children for Robert Sr., than he mentions in his will, and I am not sure if there is any actual proof that they really were his children. Someone else got copies of all Robert Coleman's deeds and his will for me. If that person found ALL of those deeds Robert Coleman made made a few days before his will giving away slaves to his sons-in-law and children, he did not give slaves to all of them. And Chloe and whoever her husband was didn't get any. Neither did Sarah, Susannah and Morening (all mentioned in the will). And in the will, Mary, Chloe, and Susanah, were among those who were left one shilling if they demanded it. Maybe all of the deeds he made have not been found. Or maybe he handed these children cash instead of giving them slaves. You didn't have to execute a legal document to give someone cash, as far as I know, though you might ask for a receipt. Maybe he was just mad at those three girls and didn't give them anything, for all I know!!! I believe all the many Mobley's have wives accounted for, though I haven't done the research myself. I haven't worked on the Colemans for at least 5 years., partly because I have been researching other lines, and partly because there were so many brick walls in my Mobley line that I couldn't get anywhere at all. And after I managed to get copies of the bounty land application of my ancestor Robert C. Moberly, it appeared that he wasn't the same Robert Moberly as the one who apparently migrated with Isaiah Mobley and his wife, Frances Coleman, to Warren Co., KY, and who, I believe was Isaiah's son. That Robert paid taxes as a male over 21 in 1808. My Robert C. Moberly claimed to be 52 in 1851. Unless he was really lying about his age, he couldn't have been the same person as the Robert who paid taxes in Warren Co., KY, but he did marry a girl whose parents lived in Warren Co. I assume the girl lived with her parents. So, I was wondering if my Robert C. could have Chloe's Coleman's son. Robert C. lived in TN for a while, then moved to Lawrence Co., IN. There were at least 4 other Moberlys in that area. They have one thing in common. No one researching any of them has ever been able to find parents for any of them. Nor has anyone ever found a document indicating a relationship between any of them. One, Edward, had the same middle initial "C" as Robert. And when two different families give their children names like "Winchester" and "Edwin Emmett", you can be sure they are acquainted with each other, if not related. And I think it highly unlikely that we are searching for 5 different sets of unknown Moberly parents! Some of the 5, if not all, must have been siblings. Chloe Coleman could have been born anytime between say 1745 and 1785. All we know about her for sure is that she was married to a Mobley when her father wrote his will in 1795. Some people have more or less made up an estimated date of birth for Chloe, but as far as I know, they're just guessing because they want neat genealogy reports and trees.

On 31 mar 1795, Robert Coleman of Fairfield Co., SC, wrote a will mentioning daughters "Cloey Mobley Fanney Mobley Nancy Mobley". It is well known that Fanny (Frances) Coleman was married to Isaiah Mobley and that Nancy Coleman was married to Isaiah's brother William Mobley, but what Mobley was Chloe Coleman married to? As far as I know, no one has ever solved the mystery of the identity of Chloe Coleman's unknown Mobley husband. Over the last 10 years, I have corresponded with many people searching for the unknown parents of their Mobley/Moberly ancestors, and most of these Mobley ancestors were born between 1780 and 1815. Many of them lived in KY or IN at some point. Suppose Chloe and her unknown Mobley husband had 10-15 children. It might knock down a few brick walls for a number of researchers if Chloe's husband and children could be identified. And if we speculate that Chloe's Mobley husband died and she remarried, it would explain why many of these Mobleys with unknown parents don't show up in any records until they are adults. If they had a stepfather, who knows what the name of the head of household would be on a census! A few days prior to writing his will, Robert Coleman executed a number of deeds in Fairfield Co. transferring slaves to his children. In the case of his married daughters the slaves were actually deeded to the sons-in-law instead of the daughters themselves, presumably as a woman's husband actually had the legal control of his wife's property at that time. On 25 Mar 1795, Robert Coleman executed a deed giving his son-in-law William Mobley a slave girl named Delsey. On 8 Oct 1797, William Mobley of Fairfield Co. deeded the slave girl Delsey to his sister-in-law, Chloe Mobley. I'm not sure if this is actual proof that Chloe (Coleman) Mobley was a widow by that time. I obtained copies of the above documents several years ago. In the book "The Robert Coleman Family From Virginia to Texas 1652-1965", page 118, is a transcription of the will of Allen Coleman of Chester Co. SC, written 11 Feb 1844. In this will he bequeathed to one of his daughters the slave "Delse" and her three children. If this woman "Delse" with 3 children is the same person as the Delsey, referred to as a girl in the other two documents, could her transfer from Chloe (Coleman) Mobley to another owner maybe provide a clue as to what Mobley Chloe was married to? If her husband were alive at the time, wouldn't he have had to execute the deed of sale or gift himself, unless she was bequeathed to someone in his, or his wife's will? Is there anyone who has access to the records of both Fairfield and Chester counties who could try to locate the deed or will that would have been made when Delsey was transferred from Chloe (Coleman) Mobley (or her Mobley husband, given name unknown) to either Allen Coleman or another person if there was another owner between those two?

What an interesting mystery. I don't have access to anything that would help, but want to know how this turns out. I'm intrigued! I looked up Allen Coleman of Chester Co, SC in the 1840 census and he is 60-70, so born 1770-1780. Was he a son of Robert Coleman, Chloe's brother? Also looked at the 1790 Fairfield Co census for Robert Coleman Sr. There sure are a LOT of Moberly's living around him -- Levy, William Sr, Samuel, William, Thomas, another William, Colin, Micaijah, and that is just on that page. Are all of these men accounted for, ie their wives knowns? I am inclined to agree that she was a widow in 1797 from your description. In which case, she might have had very few children. She would have been young in 1797. You mentioned that Robert Coleman executed a number of deeds in Fairfield Co transferring slaves to children -- in Chloe's case, did he deed directly to her. I look forward to seeing what comes out of your post. Delsey seems like a very interesting lead. -----Original Message----- From: scfairfi-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:scfairfi-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Carol Anne Sent: Sunday, November 20, 2011 6:28 PM To: SCFAIRFI@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCFAIRFI] Chloe Coleman's Unknown Mobley Husband and Tracing the Slave Girl "Delsey" On 31 mar 1795, Robert Coleman of Fairfield Co., SC, wrote a will mentioning daughters "Cloey Mobley Fanney Mobley Nancy Mobley".
