Hi Brenda, You are in for a real treat when you are researching the Skippers! lol! I too, am researching my mother's family (Skippers) in Horry County. The biggest problem I have run into with my Skippers is the fact that there seem to be two separate groups of Skippers from that area. My Skipper was actually a Sheffield before he married an Indian girl in 1820. He was disowned by the Sheffield family and changed his name to Skipper. I know that this Skipper and his wife had 7 boys and 1 girl and I suspect that this is where the Native American blood got into the family. I only have information on my ggg-grandfather but I suspect that your Arthur may have been his brother. I would be glad to send you what I have on this family if you like and you might can figure it out someday. If you ever do, please share!!!!! Hahaha!

Hello, I am researching my mother's family in Horry County. I am interested in the ancestors of Mathew Mckinly Skipper born in Cool Springs on 10-9-1844 and died on 3-4-1924. His wife's name was Mary J. Floyd. His fathers name was Arthur Crawford Skipper born 2-7-1823 and died 6-7-1906. Arthur's wife's name was Mary( anyone know her last name?). Does anyone know who Arthur's parents are? I am seeking any and all information about this family. I am also seeking any information about Native American connections. My great grand mother Eliza Tilda Skipper was Mathew McKinly Skippers daughter and she really looks like an Indian. I would really appreciate any help. Thank you, Brenda B.

Hey Everybody, Thanks to a list member I sat down and wrote out how to take a list of files and with a few simple DOS commands turn them into one large text file. People who use McIntosh computers do not have DOS so ya'll can go ahead and stop reading. I just don't know how McIntosh does it. For the rest of you PC users (stands for Personal Computer and it doesn't matter what kind) here goes: Scenario: Let's pretend you have gone to the Horry Web Site and have copied and pasted a bunch of cemetary files. Let's say you want to pull out all of the cemetaries that have a Thompson in them. (Note you can also just get Thompson's by doing a site search on the cemetaries but if you are downloading all cemetaries because you want other surnames too this may help you). Put all your Cemetary files on C drive in a file that says Cemetary (or something less than 8 letters as DOS doesn't like folders with longer names). Next go to "Start" then "Programs" then the MSDOS prompt. Type the following (except where it says Thompson you would put the surname your interested in and at the end where it says Thomcem.txt..put what you want to name the file you are creating. copy C:\cemetary\Thompson\*.txt C:\cemetary\Thomcem.txt DOS isn't case sensitive I just added the caps but it could be all lower case as well. The first part tells the computer to go to C:\ file folder "Cemetary" and then to the next folder inside that "Thompson"..the *.txt tells it to take all those listings and make them into one big text file and call it Thomcem.txt and put it in the Cemetary folder. Also, on this command line (don't know if you can tell) there is a space before each capital "C". There are no other spaces. You can not copy and paste this line into the DOS prompt so alt/tab back to this letter or write it out. Next step is press enter. You will get a list of the files to be added as one big txt. type exit and press enter to get out of DOS If you go to the Cemetary folder you will see Thomcem.txt in your cemetary txt. I did this as I wrote this to make sure it worked and pulled 15 cemetaries out of a list of 93 and put them all in one big text file. The next step would be spiking the Thompsons out of that file. Please make a copy first as spiking cuts it completely out. The following is from an earlier letter I wrote the list: Spiking cuts what you are copying from the text and copies things to a > clipboard in the order you cut them without having to stop and paste each > thing separately. Then, when you paste it, it will come out like you took > it off. I do know before we got Windows 95 I was using spike so anyone who > has word (whatever version) might try this. BTW, you can't spike in email > or any of the other programs that I know of except WORD. > > To spike in WORD you highlight what you want then hold the Control key down > while clicking on the F3 key (this key is on the row on the top line of > your keyboard). > You know you did it right if that text you highlighted dissappears.

Do this > until you are ready to paste all that you have cut. When you are ready to > paste open up a new document, hold down the Control and Shift keys at the > same time and click F3 again. > . Let me know how it goes or where you get stuck and I will try to help. Hope this isn't to confusing! Have fun! Wanda

Thanks Bonnie and Glenda for your responses regarding my Barnhill ancesters. I have exchanged email with Dianne Moore who it turns out is a cousin through both my Lewis and Barnhill lines. She has sent me a lot of good information on both lines which I am still digesting. I am happy to exhange whatever information I have but I think you are both way ahead of me already. Robert E.

News and Courier Mar 22, 1945 Charleston, SC S.C. Birthday Born in Charleston, March 22, 1846, Frank E. Taylor was educated at the Charleston High School and Hillsboro Military Academy in North Carolina. Leaving school, he joined Company A of the Hampton Legion, efficiently performed scout duty in Virginia, and served in many engagements. Refusing to surrender at Appomattox, he escaped with a group of men under General Mart W. Gary, intending to join and follow Jefferson Davis. After the latter's capture, Taylor took his parole at Augusta, May 1865. Returning to Charleston he entered George W. Williams & Co., cotton factors and wholesale merchants; later, he was with Robertson & Taylor. In 1868 he married CLARA SCOTT WILSON of Williamsburg. As vice president and general manager of Ashepoo Fertilizer Company, for more than 30 years he was active in the mining of phosphate rock. One of the most efficient and competent men in this business, his opinions as an expert were often requested. Also, for much of his life he was in the cotton business both as a factor and a manufacturer. For years he was president of the Charleston Cotton Exchange. He was a captain in the Sumter Guards, a member of the Hugenot society, New England society, South Carolina society, and Sons of the American Revolution, also first vice president of the Washington Light Infantry Survivors' association, president of the Howard association, trustee of the William Enston Home, member of the Port Society of Charleston, and a director of the Carolina Art association, Pacolet Manufacturing company, and the Carolina Savings bank. Mr. Taylor died May 18, 1913. ######### This is my gg-grandfather; if anyone knows anything about this line, particularly his son, DR. JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR (my grandmother's long lost father), your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Kerry McCarthy Wood kmcwnu@aol.com Boston

Charleston, SC FRANK E. TAYLOR PASSES AWAY (The News and Courier 5/19/1913) DIES UNEXPECTEDLY AT RESIDENCE ON RUTLEDGE AVENUE (Charleston, SC) Prominently Connected with Phosphate Industry for More than Thirty Years, Being One of Pioneers - Served in Confederate Army for Four Years, Taking Part in Important Battles - Retired from Business Recently. Mr. Frank E. Taylor, for many years prominently identified with the phosphate industry, died suddenly late last night at his residence, No. 67 Rutledge Avenue. He was about 70 years of age and had been in poor health recently, though it was not thought that his condition was very serious. He retired from active business about a month ago. Mr. Taylor was on the streets yesterday and his friends thought he was looking quite well. Mr. Taylor was among the pioneers in the phosphate industry in lower SC. He was one of the owners of the Ashepoo Phosphate Company, becoming vice president and general manager about fifteen years ago, when Peter B. and Robert S. Bradley became interested in the concern. He was considered one of the most expert men on phosphate. He was in the business for more than thirty years. Confederate Veteran Mr. Taylor served for four years in the Confederate army, being an officer. He was present in a number of important battles, always proving himself a brave soldier. He showed very keen interest in latter years in the affairs of the Confederacy. One of his sons is the Reverend James H. Taylor, pastor of the Central Presbyterian Church in Washington, DC, the church where the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, and his family worship. Mr. F. E. Taylor was particularly pleased when it was formally announced that Mr. Wilson had decided to become affiliated with his son's church. He was appreciative of the distinction. He is survived by a widow and eight children, Mrs. Armstrong, who lives in China; the Rev. James H. Taylor, DR. JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR, Mr. Herbert Taylor, Misses Alice, Nettie and Ruth Taylor, and Mrs. Tristam T. Hyde, Jr. The funeral arrangements will probably be announced today. ######### This is my gg-grandfather; if anyone knows anything about this line, particularly his son, DR. JOHN EDWARD TAYLOR, your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Kerry McCarthy Wood kmcwnu@aol.com Boston
