    2. I would like to find out who Caroline Johnson's parents were. She was married to William H. Bruton. He was born in November of 1842. I have no idea when Caroline was born.

    1. Re: [SCHORRY-L] Johnsons that lived in Conway
    2. Olive Callie Housand's parent were Addison Luticious Housand b. 4-10-1867, d. 4-1-1952 and Amanda Louise Edwards b. 5-1-1871, d. 6-30-1961. I believe she married a Johnson, but he died shortly thereafter. Then she married Summers Olin Jenerette. Their issue were Wilber, Louise, J. Alton and Summers Olin . Summers Olin Jenerette b, 1883 d. 1925 Callie Housand Jenerette b. 1890, d. 1953 (Patterson Cemetary, Horry county) Callie and Olin had one of the first stores in Loris, SC.

ASA GARDEN: and Francis Martin Causey's 10 children (best available evidence): 1/ Henry Dudley "H.D." married Mary Francis Martin 2/ William Francis "Uncle Billy" married Caroline Olympus Brown and then Laura Hardee 3/ Ozella "Zell" or Ella married R. Thomas Jolly 4/ Sarah Alive married George A. Mathew Brown 5/ Francis Ella married William Henry King 6/ Charles nathan married Mary Brock and then Martha Jane "Missy" Hardee 7/ Frederick "Fred" believed to have married Donna Young 8/ Asa Ole married Anne Gertrude Peters then Mary Vera Shaw, and the Roberta Bennett 9/ Samuel "Sam" R. possibly married Dora Jordan 10/ Clara Lou married William Curtis Brock, Jr. Asa's second wife was Emily Beaty and her father was named Thomas S. Beaty. Emily had a son named Dam and her brother's name was William Beaty Asa was the son of Zebedee and Jane Causey and his brothers and sisters were William G.,Ezekiel Dix, Matha Jane "Patty" (wife of James Perry Jordan), Charlott, Ara, Temperance, Sarah Margaret. Zebedee Jr. "Sonny" 2. JAMES PERRY JORDAN: married Martha Jane "Patty" Causey and they had 7 known children as follows: 1/ William Thomas "Tom" married Mary Merle 2/ Zebedee, one of honorees died in Jackson Confederate Hospital, no know kids 3/ Orilla Jordan married Calvin King and then Cornelius Sarvis Beaty 4/ Lafayette "L.F." or "Fate" married Sarah Margaret Brown 5/ Mary Jordan, no records, must have died young 6/ Melvina "Mellie" Jordan married Benjamin Berry Hardee 7/ Perry C. Jordan, no records, must have died young James Perry Jordan's father was belived to be William, brothers William Perry, John, and Hugh Jordan. Not much else is known re. the Jordans except that I have noticed a number of List members are researching that surname. Please let me hear from you if any of these names "ring a bell" and you would like to attend the gravestone ceremony mentioned below for February 26, 2000, however, all interested parties are invited but please contact me ASAP so that I can get a head count. Thanks----Julian Dear Asa Garden Causey and James Perry Jordan Descendents: Please take notice that on Saturday, February 26, 2000, at 11:00 A.M. ( this date is definite but time of day is only probable), we will be holding a three tombstone dedication ceremony at Campground Cemetery in Conway, to honor Asa Garden Causey, James Perry Jordan and his son Zebedee Jordan. It would be wonderful to have as many descendents and related lines turn out as possible. We have obtained three tombstones from the Veterans Administration and they are in Conway awaiting their erection. We have, in addition, obtained two Confederate iron Crosses to mark their graves which will also be erected for the ceremony. Please contact me so that I can get a head count of the expected attendees ASAP and for further details as to the ceremony. All available data points to Asa Garden being buried in Campground along with his second wife, Emily Beaty, her brother, one of his brothers and two sisters etc. and numerous Causey kin. We do not, however, have conclusive evidence as to his burial location and urgently urge anyone that does, to please contact me ASAP. James Perry is buried next to his wife, Asa's sister, Martha Jane "Patty" Causey Jordan. James' and Martha Janes' son, Zebedee Jordan died in Jackson Confederate Hospital in Richmond, VA on July 31, 1864, so his stone will be a "memorial" or cenotaph.

    2. Tom Donnelly and Sharlotte Neely
    3. Hi, Paul and everyone, I hope you're in the mood for a real mystery! So imagine you're Sherlock Holmes and its a spooky, foggy night for all genealogists. This may be a shot in the dark, but you and others on the list may be able to help me solve a mystery about my Neel(e)ys and even the Bow(d)ens and Kings. I suspect my late paternal grandparents, the Neelys, may have intentionally tried to disguise to future generations who they were and exactly where they were from. After all sorts of research, including a trip to the archives in Salt Lake City, Utah and state archives in Georgia and the Carolinas and interviews with my father and uncle, here's what I am sure of. My grandparents, Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. and Nettie King Neely Riley, changed their ages and birth places and spelling of Neely when they moved to Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia before 1920. They changed the spelling from "Neeley" to "Neely." He added years to his age, and she subtracted years. They said they were from Wilmington, North Carolina, but they were from South Carolina. For years Joseph was the successful owner of an Indian motorcycle company. Even when Joseph died (in 1928) and the depression hit (in 1929), Nettie and her sons went hungry rather than contact any family. As her children grew up and asked about their family and ancestors, Nettie refused to tell them anything, except that they were French (probably French Huguenots). The children also assumed they had some Irish ancestry as well. The one exception to contact with family was a one-time trip, about 1930, to visit Nettie's brother, Lonnie King, and his family in Saint Paul's, Robeson County, North Carolina. (I have photos of all of them, and they all seem to have olive skin and straight black hair.) In my research I found Joseph Bowden Neely, Sr. (1888-1928) was from Bayboro, Horry County, South Carolina and that Nettie King (1896-1958) was almost certainly from somewhere in South Carolina, too. Census and other records indicate that Nettie and Lonnie King were the children of Eddie King and Marguerite (maiden name unknown), both from somewhere in the Carolinas. Joseph had two sisters, Ada and Ruth, and they were the children of Joe Neely from North Carolina and Charlotte (Sharlotte) (maiden name unknown, but may be Lee) from South Carolina. Joe's mother was from North Carolina, and his father was from Virginia. Sharlotte's parents were from South Carolina. On the Neely side "Bowden" (maybe "Bowen") was the middle name of my father and grandfather, and I suspect it was a family name from back in Virginia. My grandparents are buried in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, and all their children and grandchildren were born in Savannah. Years after Joseph's death, Nettie remarried, to Harry Riley of Savannah. I know in genealogy research one can hit deadends, but the Neelys seem more like a case of intentionally concealing information. If so, why? Were they trying to hide something? Were they Lumbee Indians passing for white? Is there something awful they were hiding? Whatever it is, I want to find out. I hope some of you can help me solve a real mystery. I would appreciate any help or ideas. We do have a family genealogy page (listed below), and the Neely/King/Bowden data I do have can be found under the report on "Ancestors of Joseph Bowden Neely, Jr. Thanks.

    1. [SCHORRY-L] Gore-Graham Confusion
    2. Jan Neal
    3. I found two websites from Horry Co. that showed the family of John George GORE, and I believe that the family in those databases is the same family found in household 860 of the 1850 Horry Co. census. I'm not sure, but I suspect that Sarah E. GORE, b. abt. 1842, was my great-grandmother. A distant, older relative of mine told me that my great-grandmother was raised by a George GORE (a preacher). The story is really strange. Sarah's granddaughter-in-law said that Sarah was really George GORE's sister's child, but George raised her as his own. I searched the census awhile back looking for a Sarah E. GORE shown as a child of a George GORE who was the right age in 1850 to be newly married to my great-grandfather by 1860. This was the only child Sarah GORE at all in the 1850 census of Horry Co., and she was the right age and shown as the child of John George GORE. To make it even more interesting, the names of her mother, father and siblings are many of the same names my Sarah GORE gave to her children - Annie, Mary, Jane, John, Dorcas. Children in the database were Charity, Eliza, William Edward, Charles P., Dorcas, John Oneil, Sarah E., Martha M., Annie Jane, and Prudence. Children on the census were Charles P., Dorcas, John O., and Sarah E. The others had grown up and moved away from home by 1850. The only hang up to my theory is that the database I found shows that Sarah E. GORE married William GRAHAM, but it also shows that her sister, Eliza GORE, married William GRAHAM. I thought it possible that this was a mistake, or, by some odd chance, two sisters married men named William GRAHAM. My Sarah E. GORE married Robert T. BOYD, Jr., and I think she married him fairly young (maybe 18 or so). I suppose she could have married William GRAHAM prior to marrying Robert since they did marry quite young during the 19th century, and perhaps he died. I wrote to the person who owned the database to see if there was documentation to support the Sarah GORE-William GRAHAM marriage or to find out where it came from to check. The person with the database did not respond. I found the same information in another Horry Co. database, but I did not contact that database owner . I did download the GEDCOM, and when downloaded, Sarah's marriage to William GRAHAM was not included. I found that John George GORE's only sister, Susannah, married a cousin and had multiple children. It is interesting that Susannah died in 1842, the year Sarah was born, leaving her husband, Col. John GORE, with 7 children ranging in age from 16 to 3. I suppose it is possible that Susannah's brother (who was Col. John GORE's cousin as was Susannah who married her cousin) might have taken and raised a newborn because he had a wife, Mary Ann, to care for the child. I checked the census further. There was no Sarah GRAHAM married to a William GRAHAM in the 1860 Horry Co. census (the next census after the 1850 census that found Sarah E. GORE to be 8 years old). There was, however, in the 1850 census, an Eliza GRAHAM, age 22, living in the JENRETT household no. 150 (an older child of John George GORE & sister of Sarah who had already married and moved away from home by 1850?). William GRAHAM was not there. Maybe Eliza GORE did marry him, and he died. I've run across two people who have the book Lets Meet The Gores by Otis PRINCE. I think it should be titled Let's Confuse The Gores. One person told me that she looked up Sarah E. GORE, daughter of John George and Mary Ann GORE, and it says she married William GRAHAM and that her sister, Eliza GORE, also married William GRAHAM. Another person told me that the book does not list a Sarah Elizabeth GORE but that there is a Preacher GORE, son of John GORE and Minney UNKOWN or Unknown MINNEY, who married Mary Ann COX (this would be the same family as the one identified in the databases I found and the census). But this person says the book indicates that George GORE and Mary Ann COX had three children, Herman GORE, Martha GORE, and John R. GORE. Only one of these children's names match the census or database names that have, heretofore, matched up exactly. I would appreciate it if anyone who has this book can confirm what is really in there about the family, and whether anyone knows if this Sarah E. GORE did, in fact, marry a William GRAHAM, or if that was unsubstantiated information in the Prince book. I am also particularly interested in whether Mary Ann, wife of John George GORE, was a COX since I believe my gggrandmother, Elizabeth, was a COX. If my Sarah E. GORE grew up in Horry County, she had to be somewhere, and this child of John George GORE is the only child Sarah GORE in all of the 1850 census I've been able to find. Thanks for any help. Jan

    3. I'm interested in finding out if "Dock" was Dock Martins given name and who his parents were. He had a daughter named Mary Alma who married a Robert (Bobby) James. She and her husband are buried in Juniper Bay. Any suggestions or information appreciated. Thanks, Sonja
