I am researching the CREED family of Horry Co. Matthew Creed, carpenter,had a piece of property in 1741 on the Pee Dee about 12 miles above Cheraw which he later sold to Pegues. He then had a piece of property on the Waccamaw, Socastee Swamp at Negroe Field Swamp in 1772. This appears to be adjacent to the Stalvey land. Our branch of the family moved to Orangeburg County about 1790 but apparently the remainder of the family stayed in Horry County until at least 1820's. Names associated with the Creeds are Curl, Darling, Garvin I speculate that he was involved in boatbuilding or at least production of naval stores. The Creeds left a lot of evidence as far as witnessing wills, deeds etc. but so far we are unable to document relationships between: Matthew Creed Matthew Creed, Jr. (son?) Richard Curl Creed (another son of Matthew?) H____. Creed (?) Luke Creed (Grandson of Matthew?) John Creed (GGrandson of Matthew?) Thank You Richard Smyrl Creed P.O. Box 130 Elgin, SC 29045 CREED@compuzone.net

yes helms does,sometimes do that, he used to be the word yrs ago i think considering his advanced age he just does and says what he pleases now, i think he likes creating situations sometimes that bring on controversy and then he just stands back and watches, is that sadistic or what?

thanks julian i totally agree with what your said. it could be his dad . the birthday is abt 1852 but the people that submitted it to the hatcher site, really didn't know. i will follow what you have sent me. once again thanks so much diane

Who was looking for an ancestor named TURTINE lastnameunknown ? Look for Turtine CANNON at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~vhammond/fam03716.htm Jim Owens NOTE: I HAVE A NEW e-MAIL ID: owensjt4@cs.com

hello can you do a look up for me the surname is booth from horry county south carolina thanks richard booth

julian amen and amen. i know i shouldn't have responded to his quip, i won't lose it again. i just get so tired of the south being put down all the time. i say as long as jesse helms lives let the north have a dose of good old southern hospitality.

thank you julian i guess he must have been abt 13 or 14 then when he went in. i will go back to the hchs site now that i have the co . i really do appreciate all you do on this list diane

julian i have nothing on alexander wm chavis except he was born in 1852 in rob co mar to sarah frances hatcher. mar abt 1873 in horry co s.c. i have put out queries but so far dead end. if i get lucky and find some pictures, i wll send you what i have. my gma didn't even have a pix of her own mom. i am working with some one else researching the chavis name, he may have some pixs and things to give you i will email him today diane

It would be so much easier if some format was used for queries and comments. I see writers jumping from grandparents to brothers, back to children, etc. It would help if the request was in order of oldest person with dates, who they married with dates and children with dates. Then add the interesting information. If you are only working on your own line it is not bad but if you are helping many others as I am, it is very confusing. I enjoy all the queries even if they don't pertain to the family I am researching.

Diane, Was your Chavis ancestor from NC? He could have enlisted in a Robeson County unit. I guess it would have depended on how much he looked like an Indian. My Indian ancestors were all listed as M for mulatto in the censuses, so they are easy to pick out. All of the ones I have found enlisted in a regular CSA unit, but I do know that others were conscripted for laborers. In "The Only Land I Know" by Dial and Eliades, they state :"some joined the Confederate Army at the outbreak of the war, though whether they were accepted as Indians or passed for white is unknown. Before long, however, the civil authorities began to conscript Lumbees for labor camps at Fort Fisher and other places on the coast....Many of the Indians in Robeson county refused to serve as forced labor." They continue to explain how this resistance and the conditions at the labor camps led many to flee from the work camps and eventually to help escaped Union soldiers avoid recapture (thus leading to the Lowrie War). At the same time, many others joined the CSA units.

I guess that it wouldn't be wise to fully respond to your info but more yankees come to our poor old misbegotten state each year until we are overflowing with them, so I-95 North is a beautiful sight when traffic clogged.

February 14, 2000 Dea Dianne: I have Alex Chavis as being in the 26th SCV Inf Regt., Co. "D". Also, a big bunch of other Chavis surnames. It looks like he made through the War but is not on the Appomattox Surrender roster so he must have been captured, probably during the retreat from Petersburg. I'd encourage you to look-up his name on the HCHS pension list and if there get his pension ap and papers from the SC Dept of Archives and History in Columbia which are usually very helpful with genealogically related data and his Compiled Service Record from Columbia or the National Archives for more details.

Capt William L. LITCHFIELD and Andrew J. LIITCHFIELD, b. 4 Dec 1822, d. 27 Dec 1906, apparently were from Little River, Horry Co, SC. (W. L. is abt 10 years older.) Capt W. L. LITCHFIELD and his wife are buried at the Little River Methodist Church Cemetery in the HOLDEN plot. I think W. L. and A. J. are brothers and that a John LITCHFIELD, d. abt 1844, whose Estate was probated in Horry Co, is their father (I hope.) In their lifetime both W. L. and A. J. lived in Brunswick Co, NC around Lockwood Folly and, I think, Little River, SC. John LITCHFIELD appears to be the oldest LITCHFIELD found in Horry County and about the only one at that time--my only proof so far. I am tracing the A. J. LITCHFIELD line and am trying to prove that John LITCHFIELD of Horry Co is his father. Their are a few LITCHFIELDS along the NC coast and a few in Berkeley Co. A. J. LITCHFIELD left Brunswick Co, as an old man and died in Berkeley Co. A. J's first wife was Susan from Brunswick Co. and he married Matilda in Berkeley Co. They are buried at Berea Methodist Church Cemetery in Bethera, Berkeley Co, SC. W. L. had a boat and I suspect was up and down the inland waterway. He might have seen active duty -- in the Conf. Navy?-- during the Civil War? Any help or insight will make many folks in the LITCHFIELD Family happy. Thanks, Al of Raleigh, NC (My wife is one of these Litchfields.)

If you are looking for Confederate Pension Records for folks who lived in Texas, get on search the web, type in Confederate Pension & the first one is the Texas site that will look up the name & county to see if one was issued. Then you can order by email & they will bill you for same. I ordered 6 and the whole thing was $10.40. This is for those wanting Texas pensioners.

thanks i must have been heading in the wrg. dir. i going toward the state of s.c. now blessings diane

i guess you were trying to be funny, yes the war is over but certain prejudices still remain concering north vs south. i had a yankee fat. ct and a southern mom n.c.so i have been personally in on some comments made by both northern people and southern people .as a child i would hear how the yanks won over the dumb rebs from the north, and mom would say the only reason they won because they blocked the boats preventing the sale of cotton and on and on. i hear soldiers from ft bragg come here and talk abt the dumb southerners and how our schools , hosps. doctors etc. are so inferior to theirs, and how the southerners don't know how to manage their money, or else the good old boy syndrome. i even had a soldier tell me in my own house (dating my dau.eating my food and riding in my car) that he had a high vocabulary, but he was slowly losing it living in fayetteville. i found out later, he could barely spell and from the great state of calif..my southern dau still in high school aced him out in every subj. he could not even attempt to help her with her homework cause he'd never had college prep courses or was an honor student, so in reality he made a fool of himself talking abt the south.i born in ct think the state is beautiful and dearly love my yankee kin. i also dearly love my southern roots from my mom, not everyone can be blessed with having the gifts they bestowed upon me concerning my heritage. i would give anything to hear my yankee dad talk that yankee accent that i inherited and hear that soft southern drawl of my moms. they died in 1983 yes in some peoples minds the war goes on. diane

thank you once again. this is a long shot, considering his age b. 1 1852 in rob co nc. living in horry co during war. his name alexander william chavis. i have no other info on him, but feel that maybe his dad was in the war. i have found naomi cooper hatcher chavis family my great etc grandmother, but have hit a brick wall on alexander, i guess i need to start putting out requests on the horry list. thanks so much. diane
