This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zcB.2ACE/52 Message Board Post: Am looking for any info on the above ancestor who moved to Mississippi in the 1830's

Milledge Bonham Lipscomb married my ggreat aunt Mary Florida Bunting in Madison, Florida, just after the WBTS circa 1867. They had a daughter and my ggreat aunt died in 1868. Milledge moved back to Ninety Six with his daughter and must have married Mary Motte. Their graves are located in the City cemetery of Ninety Six, South Carolina. I need help in finding out the name of this daughter and about her life, who she married, children and their families etc. They might also want to learn about the Bunting family and their history from Edgefield to Abbeville to Madison, Florida. Thanks Bill Bunting buntinb@madison.k12.fl.us

I recently found out that my grandfather was married before he married my grandmother. He was married to a woman named Sallie. I find her in the 1910 census of Greenwood Co. She is listed in the family as follows: Rykard, Mrs. JW, Head, F,W, 60, Widowed-Farmer Rykard, JP, Son, M, W, 33, Single-Carpenter Boysworth, Sallie, Daughter, F, W, 30, Single-Not employed Rykard, Wesley, Son, M, W, 28, Single-Farmer My grandfather was Rupert Boysworth. (The name is often misspelled as-Bosworth, Baysworth) He was from McCormick, SC. He lived in the Plum Branch area, which was of course Edgefield Co at the time he was born. He, for some reason, moved to Augusta, GA around 1912. In the Augusta Chronicle in 1915 is a notice of a divorce for Rupert and Sallie Baysworth. I have a copy of the divorce record. It says the defendant, Salle, was not in the state of Ga. My guess is she abandoned him, don't know. I am trying to find any information on her or this Rykard family. Maybe she never remarried, don't know that either. I know nothing other than what I have sent here. I would like to find out where she may be buried, when and where they got married, if they had children; anything I can find on her and her family. ANY information would be greatly appreciated. I haven't looked at any other census records for this family. I have also not been able to find Rupert in 1910. He was living with his mother in 1900 and in 1920, he is living with my grandmother and their oldest child. No clue where he was in 1910. Thanks for any help and/or advice.

Found a bunch of Roper wills and administrations. I have an interest in this family, as I found Nancy COURSEY in the 1850 Edgefield Co., SC Census as follows: A Nancy Coursey b. 1818 can be found living in the household with Julian Roper female age 50 and Benjamin Roper 17, farmer, James 11 and John 9. Need to recheck. I think Benjamin is son, but don't have age for him. Is Nancy her widowed daughter. At this time all this is speculation. Wiley Coursey who had wife Nancy is not found in the 1850 census, so assume he may be deceased. Maybe she is his wife. All speculation at this time. Looking for answers. Also have Benjamin ROPER [too old to be the above Benjamin of 1850] .. +Elizabeth Emily COGBURN b: April 19, 1812 in SC Father: Aaron Cogburn Mother: Sarah Huff Have a whole family of Ropers attached to a Dodd family in Ga. connected to my husband's line.

Riddle-L folks, I am not a subscriber to the list. Please contact me personally: Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net Edgefield Probate Box 44-1860 - Jedathan Riddle.

Catherine Riddle certifies that she has no intention of administering her husband's estate and she wishes Wm Blackburn to administer July 29, [1814] /s/ Catherine Riddle. William Riddle was granted letters of Administration, but he has since died. Therefore, William Blackburn was given full power to administer the estate, August 12, 1814 Bondsmen: Wm Blaklburn. Jesse Frazier, David Burns [signatures] Acct payments mention the following as legatees or receiving a legacy: Catherine Riddle Sarah McBain Jesse Riddle Lewis Youngblood James Riddle John G. Riddle Elenor Riddle ------------------ The two families seem to be connected, Can anyone show an outline of this family? Again, this surname crops up in my Coursey line. It is also connected to the Sheppard line that Hope Creasman is researching. I have bits and pieces of information on the Riddles, and Sheppards and Courseys as shared by Hope and HC Ouzts and from an earlier subscription to the Riddle-L group. I am especially interested in Coursey connection in Edgefield Dist, SC. Does this group connect to Capt. James Coursey who married Winnifred Riddle in VA? If so, how does the Coursey group connect to that line? Or to the Lewis Coursey who married Jeannette Sheppard, Newberry Co., SC?? Billie Jones Camden, SC tjones@camden.net

Daniel, The Index-Journal is on-line and may have it in their archives. It's very doubtful though. If you will go to: http://www.raogk.org/ You will find information on volunteers who look up information for people. It's called Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. You can look in the state and county you need information on people about and they have their names and email addresses listed. Be sure you read the directions and comply.

Can't help you on the Greenwood Mills, but it sure seems like they should. I hadn't thought about that for my own research, but let us all know if you find out anything. If you get a chance to go to Greenwood, try the old Ellis Funeral home Records at the Harley Funeral Home in Greenwood. Harley has their old books, and i found info. about the parents of some of my Greenwood connected families there. Their information is a Gold Mine if someone would just take the time to transcribe them. Have thought about doing it myself, but don't think I have the time. Would be a good project for the 96th dist Gen. society, but I mentioned that and there was a hint that there were not enough folks interested in volunteering to do that large a project. Another possiblity --- hospital care after the accident?
