I also printed your letter at the museum & gave it to Mark Rigsby who is a Museum substitute for the curator & is on the board of the Fairfield Historical Society. I think I will let others answer what the Historical Society does in the way of preservation. They did paint their historic markers & I think that has them in the red. They were given the old theater that is beside the Museum on the south side of the Museum. It has problems, so the Fairfield Historical Society is looking for money. If you all snail them, you can find what their goals & needs are. I am waiting for them to type up such for me & maybe your letter will stimulate them to do that for the web. But, they do not meet again until after August I think, so probably won't do anything, but I hope they will. Mark is planning to give me stuff for the web. He says the museum has some old photos & maps he'd like to put on the web, but though they have a computer, they have no Internet provider & no scanner so it will be some time before we get much on the web. I have a camcorder & a capture device for it so I can put some low quality stuff on the web from video tape but it is not suitable for maps. I tried that. >PS. FYI...if you want to see an ancestor at the >Episcopal Cemetery, it is locked. I guess you >would have to contact the church in advance.... If you'd called me, I could have brought ladders. <grin> I am serious. I know how disappointing it can be. I thought the wall on the sides was low enough to jump up & pull oneself up & climb on top & jump into the cemetery. I can still do such at 49. But since that hurts old knees & ankles it would be better for me to call & find who has keys & put on the web who to contact at places that are locked. Another example is Feasterville's church, school, gates, & boarding house. I (as a Coleman descendant, officer of the reunion that is local, & who was painting tables) finally after 25 years have a key to the school & one gate. You all remind me in about 2 or 3 weeks & I will see if I can find who all has keys & will come. Some may want to be reimbursed for gasoline if they get many requests. Some may be too old to help. Think up the places you want access to & I will see if I can find who is keeper of the keys. Perhaps the inside of some churches like Ebenezer ARP? I guess what you all could really use is access to the museum's genealogy room. Well mulling this over it is getting deep & involved so I will close. Dad used to have a key to old Crooked Run Baptist church (built 1836) since he & I restored it in 1976. That's our family church since Buffalo Bapt. burned about 1917. Maybe his key still works. The partition between the slaves & master is visible, but was cut out. It was used until 1976 & the flue holes for stoves is still visible. I said restored. I should have said some sills were repaired & rods added, stone removed & painted. BTW, Feasterville needs painting & I know they like donations & I know the association's address & contributions are tax exempt. But if your ancestors are not from that area, I'd think you all would rather help the Historical Society. If I was a prospective donor of big money, I'd like to know how it was going to be spent & what they spend money on. -- James W.

I found Wateree Creek in northern Richland County flowing into the Broad from the west. You taught me something. :-) Creeks south of the Enoree River flowing into the Broad River from the west that are shown on the current county maps are: from Newberry County Map Hellers or Second Creek. Cannons Creek Rocky Creek (which Crims Creek flows into) continuing from Richland County Map Wateree Creek Boone Creek Hopes Creek Nicholas Creek I do not think I'd heard of any of those in Richland County. They are tiny creeks. >On the Fairfield side of the broad between Little >River and Beaver Creek is shown Wilkinson Creek. On the 1876 map of our county the creeks flowing into the Broad River starting with Beaver Creek & going south are: Beaver Creek Rocky Cr. Terrible Cr. Wilkinson Creek Good Oaken Cr. Harris Br. Mile Br. Hunts Br. Little River Looking at the 1908 map: Beaver Creek Rocky Creek Terrible Creek Pole Creek (at Dawkins) Frees Creek Mayo Creek Little River I cannot easily match all of the above creeks on the 1876 map to the creeks' alternate names on the 1908 map. If one of you can track down these maps and scan them in, we could have them on the web. 1908 is well over the 75 year limit of copyright so neither are under copyright. I would put them on the web but have no scanner. I will provide the web space or make a link. Besides having no money to buy a scanner, the Historic Map of 1970 has me busy. Reprints of the 1876 sell for about $18. If interested, I will put up a web page for the vendor Col. Hinnant. >Regarding Diltchman/Dutchman Creek on the Catawba, >I reviewed the map referenced in your email, then >rechecked the spelling on the map I referenced, >and find it to be one and the same.

Kershaw County map going south along the Wateree River I find Singletons Creek Beaver Creek Stillhouse Branch White Oak Creek Grannies Quarter Creek I guess I was just looking to quickly & only on the Fairfield side of these rivers. >Again, I hope I didn't cause any confusion, only >wanted to be helpful. You cleared up possible confusion by us over the 2 Wateree Creeks. I think it is helpful for us to know our creeks since creek names are how our ancestral lands' locations are described & they are often buried on their own land. Maybe we should stick to the Fairfield side of the rivers, though my 1st Broom in SC got 150 acres on Little Cedar Creek in what became Fairfield probably plus 400 acres on one of those creeks you mentioned in what is now Newberry County, all 550 acres in one grant & one Memorial! I don't know why the acreage was split into 2 locations. It is very important to know there is another Wateree Creek nearby but not in Fairfield County. That Wateree in Richland County being west of the Broad River should be in 96 District, rather than Camden District. (Thank heavens for small favors.) Is that right about it being in 96 District? The grants some times list the county we are in (Craven) & sometimes list the District we are in (Camden). When the grant gives the county or district it keeps us from confusing 2 creeks of the same name which are not in the same jurisdiction. Right? Right! :-) Wateree Creek of present Richland Co. & Wateree Creek of Fairfield Co. were settled at the same time & I am surprised if some Fairfield folks did not get grants on Wateree of current Richland Co. just like my Brooms got land in Fairfield & Newberry at the same time. So Mr. Leitner has warned us about Wateree Creek in current Richland Co. That would be old Lexington County. I checked by looking at the county name given on the edges of Fairfield County on the Fairfield County maps of 1876 & 1908. After 1908 Richland got hungry & ate Fairfield's Blythewood (old Doko) in 1912 I think & sometime in the 1900s ate a bit of Lexington Co. west of the Broad River. >I agree, "It was interesting." > >Robert Leitner -- James W.

Wateree Creek & its tributaries Big & Little Wateree Creek & their tributaries cover most of the NE 1/4 of the county as you all see on the maps. I have colored most of the creeks of NE Fairfield County blue tonight. Hit refresh/reload. Where Wateree Creek flows into Catawba River, Catawba River ends & Wateree River begins. The Catawba Indians lived on the Catawba River & it seems the Wateree Indians lived on the Wateree River (& creek?). Where Big Wateree & Little Wateree Creek flow together, I would call the result, Wateree Creek. I suspect what the plats & grants call it, vary. Many creek names can only be found on plats and grants & no one now knows the precise location of some of those grants & so do not know which creeks those creeks are unless someone succeeds in tracing the title from the time of grants down to the present. The 1876 map of our county calls Big Wateree Creek, North Prong Wateree Creek & calls Little Wateree Creek, South Prong Wateree River. Where Wateree Creek (alias River) flows into the Catawba River, I wonder how the flow of each compares in cubic feet per minute. I bet the Catawba has at least 10 times more water than the Wateree where they merge since Catawba has at least 10 times of the drainage area. This must be one of the oddest places to change the name of a River, naming the result for the smaller of the 2. I suspect the name change was due to the tribes' names on the river at those points at the time of naming of rivers. >I looked on the map you just posted (wonderful!) >near Blackstock (Chester Co.) but did not see >Wateree. There are 2 gifs on the web. One gif is of the west half of the map & shows Blackstock. The other gif is of the east half of the map & shows Wateree Creek. You will see Wateree labeled on http://www.rootsweb.com/~scfairfi/fairhise.html or to see the area better view it at half size: http://www.rootsweb.com/~scfairfi/fairhise13.html The table at the top of the map lets you change the viewing size. You say "Blackstock (Chester Co.)". Blackstock is on the county line of Chester & Fairfield County. Blackstock is on high ground naturally & not on a creek. Rain falling on the SE parts of Blackstock flows down hill into the creeks SE of Blackstock which are branches of Big Wateree Creek. You all may want to print & tape the east & west gif of the map together or order a map of the county. It is subjective as to which branch SE of Blackstock should be called Big Wateree so I cannot label any of them. I expect you all to tape the maps together & make your own decisions as to which tributary is Big Wateree Creek, until you can put the plats together to identify what the original settlers called each tributary. >Hugh Young's Land Grants were on Little River, >so I am thoroughly confused. It would be nice if we could control our ancestors & only allow them to buy contiguous land, but alas I am afraid they did not. Notice that the watershed of Little River touches the watershed of Wateree Creek. 100 acre tracts straddling US 321 south of Woodward would have acreage on both drains. So people that had land within maybe 2 miles of US 321 might easily work their noncontiguous land on both drains, very easily walking or going on horse back between tracts daily. >I am having difficulty in finding burial sites of >Hugh, his wife, Margaret and their daughter, Jane >Young Rosborough who was the first wife of James >Rosborough. Thought if I could pinpoint exactly >where his property was, I could concentrate on >those churches and cemeteries nearby. I agree the Youngs were Presbyterian so would be more likely to bury at churches than my Baptist ancestors. But in 1796 my Presbyterian Alexander Robinson was buried on his farm 3 miles west of Winnsboro. I only recently found his tombstone after 20 years of living here. By the time I found it, it had been vandalized & the vandal broke the stone where his age was. If you can find where the land was you might find his family burying ground. The cemetery that Alexander Robinson was in had been copied & was in the 3 volume cemetery books, but his stone was not recorded in the volumes. They overlooked it. So good luck in finding the graves before the vandals & ravages of time. The stone of Alexander Robinson is shown at: http://www.emcee.com/~green/Cameron/robertsongrave.html I am assuming you have asked the Cemetery lookup volunteer to see if the stone is recorded in the 3 cemetery volumes. I am still hoping that the grave of Caleb Powell will be found. The family remembers cleaning it in the 1930s but for the last 25 years they have been unable to find it. That cemetery is only about 3 miles from me. As to finding the mets & bounds of the land, it gets pretty hopeless with merging & dividing land without making plats or even deeds & lines changing by greedy neighbors & long gone marker trees & poor surveys. I tried to trace the title on my William Broom's 3,000 acres back to the grants & failed. Too much of it passed by wills & too much of it was acquired without recording deeds. But I will try again some day. -- James W.

I'd like to hear more about the 20 miles. 20 miles downstream from the confluence of the Catawba River & Wateree Creek might be lake Wateree's dam.

Maybe the Corps of Engineers or USGS has designated Lake Wateree to be on the Catawba rather than both to simplify matters. >This map shows a Diltchman Creek and Beaver Creek >just down stream of Wateree Creek.

I have recently discovered a new ancestor: George BELL of Fairfield and Chester Counties, SC. I would like to know his wife's name and who his four daughters married. I don't know when/where he was born, but he died in 1803. According to his will (signed in 1802), he had Agnes, Mary, Jean, and Elizabeth, and a son who was obviously deceased before 1802 and left two daughters named Mary and Sarah. ANY info on this family would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thank you for posting the obituary of Saray M. Gayden GLADDEN. This is one of the families I am researching in Fairfield County. Can anyone tell me more about her spouse, Jesse Gladden? I am also researching the STOKES family who lived in Fairfield County in the 1830's. Betty Helms Vinski [email protected]

When I was at the Museum in Winnsboro last month, I saw a copy of a 1910 special issue of the local paper, commerating Fairfield County's contribution to the War. They had pictures of as many of the surviving CSA veterans from the county that that could locate. Amongst them was a picture of my great grandfather, Milton C Harrison, the only known picture of him. If your CSA ancester survived to 1910, you might find his picture there. This would also be a GREAT project for someone close enough to the library to spend a little time there to prepare a list of those Vet's pictured in this special edition and their unit. Posting it on the WEB page would be a great service to those of us who do not have ready access. This picture made my trip there a great success.

Obituary of Sarah Margaret Gayden Gladden ---- Newspaper clipping from The State, Columbia, S.C., year-date of publication not incl., but by-line has month & date of Dec. 29. Some classified ads on back mention year 1929, so it appears that probable death date is 28 Dec 1928. Transcribed by Michael L. Crocker, Oct. 1998. [not related to Mrs. Gladden as far as I know, but Mrs. K. Ladd was my Gr-Gr-grd'mother.] ---- Mrs. S. M. GLADDEN. Special to The State. Winnsboro, Dec. 29. - The entire community was saddened Friday morning when it became known that Mrs. Sallie Gladden had passed away; however, her health had been such for the last few months that her death was not unexpected since she had suffered a stroke of paralysis in May and a second stroke a few weeks ago. A woman passionately devoted to her family and to her home it was there she was always to be found giving untiringly of her time and strength to the many duties that devolved upon her. Her friends, and she numbered them by the score, were from all classes, nor was there any discrimination as to color. Mrs. Gladden, whose maiden name was Sarah Margaret Gayden, was born in Chester county, being the oldest child of Hilliard J. and Margaret GAYDEN, December 2, 1846. She received her education at Mrs. Katharine Ladd's school and is survived by only one of her schoolmates, Mrs. N. E. PRESSLY, of Winnsboro. At the age of 22 she was married to Jesse A. GLADDEN of Rocky Mount, Fairfield county, who died 31 years ago. >From this union there were 12 children, nine of whom are living and were with her in her last illness. They are, James A., John G., H. G., R. T., W. L., Ernest and Bratton GLADDEN, Mrs. O. B. WEEKS and Mrs. R. H. McDOWELL. She is survived by one brother also, John M. GAYDEN, of Columbia. Funeral services were held at Bethesda Methodist church, conducted by her pastor, the Rev. W. A. FAIRY, assisted by Dr. Oliver JOHNSON of Winnsboro and the Rev. Henry STOKES of Great Falls. The interment was in the old family burying ground at the church. The many and beautiful flowers were a symbol of the love and esteem in which she was held. ----------

Hello; I'm researching BRITNELL's and STRINGER's. The earliest reference I have to Britnell is Peter Britnell, b. about 1735 in Fairfield District, SC. He had sons James and John. James, my gggg grandfather, served in the NC militia in the Revolution, and returned to SC afterward. The family appears in the 1790 and 1800 census, but are gone by the 1820 report. Family history says they went to TN, probably Bedford County, before going on to Franklin County, AL. This family left few traces before arriving in AL, and it has become frustrating searching for information. Any information would be appreciated...
