Could someone please do a look up for me at the Horry Co. courthouse? I'm looking for information on James Smith, Honor Smith Harris, and John Harris. On a family group sheet done by Janet Woodard of Charleston, SC, she listed the source of information as "Horry co. Deed Book L, p. 363." If anybody goes to the courthouse, could you please copy the info and email it to me? I found some information about James Smith, Sr. (my 4th great grandfather) in the Spring 1983 issue of The Independent Republic Quarterly. Some Facts About the Descendants of James Smith, Sr. of Horry Co. by his great great granddaughter, Kathryne Smith Hurt. In it she writes: "....The Smith family in Horry Co. and South Carolina is large, complicated, and very interesting, It is important that it be understood that not every person bearing the name Smith can be related, and this adds to the intrigue of trying to unwind the puzzle of it all. In our line, the search has been endless, and has already filled more than one book, so I will be able to touch only briefly upon those named. Recently we have uncovered a number of original letters and documents written by some early Smith relatives. I have made copies of some, thinking some reader will find them interesting. All originals have been authenticated, and are now in protective coverings. Also included are a few of the very meny copies of deeds for land grants,etc., relating to these ancestors. It is generally accepted fact that the Smith family came to North America from Scotland and Ireland. Within Horry County, SC, My great, great grandfather, James Smith, bought land and settled near Willow Springs, just outside of town, on what was called the "Sand Road". He was a very large and prosperous farmer. Born in 1793, he and his wife, Honor_____, born in 1795, had several sons, all born near Willow Springs...." Does anybody have any information on this family or know where I can get a copy of the book that Kathryne Smith Hurt talks about? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Carol, Could you please list the spouses of Asa Garden Causey's siblings? Was Emily Beaty Causey's son really named "Dam" or was that just a typo? Pam

Larry, Sorry to beso tardy in answering your email. I may indeed have a photo of my grandpa John Franklin Stevens. Not sure if I have one of grandma Georgia. Grandpa lived with Uncle Pearlie and Aunt Aileen and she may have some pictures. I will ask her when we talk again.

Unfortunately, I do not have any photos.........Deb

Quite possibly there could be a tie. My Mincey info is sketchy at best. I have names (and some dates) for Bryant Mincey (b. 1780)and his children, but don't have any generations after that (just a few names that I have picked up from the Horry County list). If I can make a connection, I will certainly let you know! Deb Thompkins Lowry Charlotte, NC

Kerry McCarthy Wood Boston

Thanks to all who offered suggestions and if others have thoughts on the subject I would be happy to hear them. Glenda: Do you have the address for the Horry County Museum? Can they be reached by email? Carl: I have tried scanning the back of the picture but the pencil marks are just too faint and too much the same color as the backing material to register on the scan. I owned the picture for about 2 years and examined it many times for any clues and only recently noticed any evidence of markings. When holding it at a shallow angle, I can just make out a number which looks something like 1884 but nothing else can be made out. Vicky: The HCHS site would be a good place to display the picture except it doesn't seem to have a place for the purpose. It does have a section for photographs, but they are organized alphabetically by name. Maybe Craig could add a section for posting unidentified photos along with a brief description of whatever is known. (What do think Craig?) Thanks, Robert E. Lewis

Hi James, Thank you so very much for the information on Phillip M. D. McCormick and Sarah Emmaline Brown. I will certainly check out George Commander Brown's lineage through the LDS. Betty

Hi Betty, I was just looking through some old papers I had not seen in quite some time and found this info; This info is on an ancetral file in the LDS library 1. Phillip MacDaniel McCormick's wife was Sarah Emmaline Brown, she was born Sept 11, 1854 in Socastee. There is a very good possibility that Sarah Emmaline and George Commander Brown who married Phillips sister Sarah Eliza McCormick. 2. In- Lawsof Phillip MacDaniel McCormick a) Mary Jane McCormick married Daniel Causee born abt 1833 (thats the way its spelled in the file) b) John W. McCormick married Martha A. Hucks born 1836 c) Alexander R. McCormick married Joanna Stalvey(listed as Ivannah in a census) d) Thomas James McCormick married Helene Hurl e) Elizabeth McCormick married James Mew f) Martha McCormick married William Hurl g) Sarah Eliza McCormick married George Commander Brown h)William B. McCormick married Sarah E. ? 3. At this time the only of these marriages that I have kids for are Sarah E McCormick and James E. McCormick Hope this Helps, James ps I am sure the Lds church has the family of George Commander Brown well documented!

I have a picture which I would love to be able to identify. Its one my father had and when my brother and I noticed it, my father's memory had slipped too far for him to remember who the subject is or where he got it. He could only remember that he got it from "someone in the family". Does anyone know of a place where such photos can be posted where they will be seen by others who might be able to identify them? List rules don't allow attachments. The HCHS has a section for pictures but its organized for displaying pictures of known persons. There is some faded writing on the back but the only thing that is still legible is "1884". The picture is mounted on a cardboard mount which is gray on the back side - about the same color as pencil lead! Anyone know of a practical technique to bring out faded pencil marks? I'm reasonably sure the person must be someone from Horry or there about. Thanks, Robert E. Lewis

Cheryl- I have a John E. Ransom, born Sept. 1857 in SC who married a Harriet Amanda . (b. 1858). Their children were: Sallie, John W., Florence, Lawrence W. John Ransom's father was John G.

Rob, Thanks so much for such a thorough review of the book. That was far more comprehensive than I had any right to expect. Now if only someone knows where a copy might be found. It sounds like it could be very useful to anyone working on a Horry county Lewis line. (You're right regarding the similarity of our names - I suppose we'll have to continue using the middle initial to help avoid confusion.) Robert E. Lewis

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.

Lewis > > - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - >>>>>>> Hi, Robert: Do you think that we might be confusing some of the list members with our names so close in spelling, etc? The book was copywrited in 1960 by Charlotte Stevenson and was printed by The R.L. Bryan Company, Columbia, S.C. It has a Forward and an Introduction of 4 or 5 pages and then the book proper is 181 pages in length and appears to be fully indexed. Charlotte was/is the daughter of the author, Mary Lewis Stevenson and finished the book after her mother died. There are nine chapters titled as follows: 1. William Lewis of Horry County, S.C. 2. The Eleven Children of William Lewis 3. Descendants of Isaac Lewis 4. Descendants of Hardy Lewis 5. Descendants of Jonothan Lewis 6. Descendants of Joel Lewis 7. Descendants of Patrick Lewis 8. Descendants of Polly Lewis Nichols 9. Descendants of Zilpha Lewis and William Gerald Those chapters cover 140 pages leaving 40 pages for an all-name index. It is easy to use and has quiet a bit of information concerning birth, death, burial, education, marriage, and occupation and possibly other facts such as migration. The period covered appears to be from about 1725 or there about to the late 1950s. I am having no success in remembering from whom I got the book. I think that it was someone on the SCHORRY-L list some 3 or 4 years ago but it could have just as easily been on the LEWIS-L list. My understanding was/is that the book is no longer in print. I have found the book to be very useful in expanding my database but, alas, it didn't tell me when nor from where or whom my GGGrandfather Gilbert LEWIS originated. I'll do some limited look-ups in the book for those persons who make such a request, but I must warn in advance that I can sometimes be slow in returning messages. Later, ROB Robert G.

Betty, I believe that Mayham Mishoe is Francis Mayham Mishoe. He was born on 12 Aug. 1875 and died in 1932. He is the son of Joseph Mishoe and Eliza Ann Hurl Mishoe. I have Dozier's death certificate #2587. He was 23 years old and died January 3, 1918, from accidental drowning, frozen to death, died hunting - body was found February 14, 1918, in Georgetown County, SC. His father is listed as F.M. Mishoe and his mother is listed as Lillie McCormack. This information was given by F. M. Mishoe of Myrtle Beach, SC. He is buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

You will notice that some of my dates are different from yours, but my information is copied from the tombstones. Some of what I have here may be erroneous, but it is the best I can do for now. What I would like for you to do is review this information and tell me what you find wrong and to add any additional information that you may have. Also give me complete names and dates including the day date. There is no longer any doubt in my mind that this is the correct Hellen, the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth Inman. Helen Inman married David Ward (b. 1834) the son of Simon Ward and Sally Cartrette (b. 1806). They had the following children: I.

(b. 4-6- 1895;d. 2-16-1959), William H., Jr. (b. 7-20-1904;d. 12-18-1962) and Helon (Ethel ?) (b. 11-28-1909;d. 7-3-1987). It is believed that James m. Tizzie McDowell (b. 5-6-1894;d. 3-9-1980). Archie was a veteran of WWI. He m. Charlotte McDowell (b. 11-11-1903;d. 2-18-1976). They had an infant daughter (b.&d. 1930). William m. Blanche Cox (b. 4-20- 1905;d.7-16-1988).

Robert G. Lewis, In your response to Sandy Metz regarding Celia Lewis you mentioned a source titled "William Lewis of Horry County, SC" by Mary Lewis Stevenson. Would you please elaborate on this source. How useful, is it in print, where available, etc? Thanks, Robert E. Lewis

Sandy, I should have read your message more carefully before sending my previous reply. On reading your request again, I see that the date of birth does not match, the spouse name does not match, and this Celia did not go to Miss. Sorry for the false lead. Robert E. Lewis
