This is to let any and all concerned know that the annual family gathering of the descendants and extended family of William Edward and Sarah Rebecca [WEST] ELLIOTT of the Kershaw County area will be held on Sunday, 25 June 2000 in Kershaw at the Kershaw Recreation Department. It is scheduled to start at 1:00 P.M., and all are requested to bring a dish and drink of choice. You are also asked to bring along any family information and/or memorablilia that you wish to share with the family. For any of you who may wish to share information about the family, I would very much like to hear from you since I can not make the trip. I have gathered some info on the family thru the years, but could still use a lot more. Bill Hughes [email protected]

The earliest Harris I have is Darlon Elmer (or Elbert) Harris, born July 26, 1897 and died Nov. 2, 1976 in Lancaster, SC. He was the son of Edward Elmer Harris (or A.E.

Other family names: Eubanks, Miller, Haire, Lucas, Hayes, Ogburn, Rollins, Faile, Funderburk, and Robinson.

My husband's middle name is Harris and we always wonder where it originated. He is related to the Failes, Funderburks and Robinsons. He was born and raised in Lancaster Co, till he escaped the cotton mills for the Navy. :-) [email protected] wrote: > > Hi, > > Thank you for any replies to my inquiry. > > The earliest Harris I have is Darlon Elmer (or Elbert) Harris, born July 26, > 1897 and died Nov. 2, 1976 in Lancaster, SC.

Jacque Ott wrote: "My ancestor WILLIAM WILEY DEASON and wife NANCY CAUDLE also moved from Lancaster Co. to Monroe Co., AL. Do you have any information indicating the route they might have taken or any information on other families that might have been in the group." ***** The Fortenberry Families of Southern Mississippi: With Early Records Concerning the Faulkenberry/Fortenberry Familes of the South, by Adrianne Fortenberry Criminger, of Clarkston, GA, published by Southern Historical Press (Easley, SC) mentions another family to migrate about 1819. The Faulkenberry or Fortenberry family was in what became Lancaster County, SC in the early 1750s. A 1789 petition from residents of Great and Little Lynches Creek was signed by Benjamin Deason and several Faulkenberys. A 1794 petition was signed by Abraham Deason, Benjamin Deason, William Deason, and several Faulkenberrys. Israel Falkenberry was born in Lancaster Co, SC in the early 1780s and died in Monroe Co, AL in 1861. His wife Tabitha may have been a Williams. They named a son Deason Falkenberry in Alabama who lived ca 1825--1864. Deason Falkenberry and wife Eliza Ann Nettles Holloway named a son Judge Deason Falkenberry (1863-1943) who is buried at the Philadelphia Baptist Church cemetery. Israel's brother William went to Mississippi. Their father was John. As for routes, the book says only: "By looking at the map showing the most likely route taken by settlers going to southern Mississippi, it should be noted that the area settled by Israel's family is less than ten miles from Burnt Corn, Alabama. Burnt Corn was the location of the intesection of many early trails and roads." (page 281) The place they actually settled was near Tunnel Springs, AL. The copy at which I looked is at the library in Lancster, SC. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

1850 Flat Creek/Hickory Head Township, Lancaster Co. census, lists at house #513, Mrs. N. Reynolds, age70, M. SUTTON, 50 female, S. SUTTON, 21 female, and J. SUTTON, 19 male. At #514 is E. SUTTON, 22 male, C. SUTTON, 20 female, and E. SUTTON, 6/12 male. Another source has these folks in the 1860 census, in the same location, and their first names are Edmond, Caroline, and Edward SUTTON. I believe M. SUTTON is Mary SUTTON, Zachariah's mother. There is an October 9, 1859, local Lancaster, S.C., newspaper article, of P.T. Hammond, local atty., publishing an executor's notice, indicating Zachariah SUTTON, had applied for letters of administration, on the estate of Mary SUTTON, deceased. Zachariah SUTTON, his wife Mary Ann Phillips SUTTON, and their children, have been located in the 1860,1870 Flat Creek/Hickory Head Township, Lancaster Co., S.C. census. Mary Ann Phillips SUTTON, listed as a widow, with two children, has been located in the 1880 DeKalb Township, Kershaw Co. S.C. census.

A young male, Edmund, age 13, is listed last, out of sequence, and I am not sure of his relation. Their neighbors are the John Clark family, and the Rainy Williams family. All three men are listed as farmers. In the 1880 census, Mary SUTTON, a widow, has moved to the DeKalb Township, Kershaw Co., S.C. and living with her, are two children, George Franklin, age 16, and Sophronia Matilda, age 10. Their neighbors are the Harry H. Hall and John Yalin families. Both men are listed as farmers. Sarah Frances SUTTON, b. 1-6-1860, d. 1-2-1920, married George Washington Watts. Eliza Ann SUTTON, b.4-20-1862, d.9-10-1907, married James Hazelton Hopkins. Both are buried in the Hepzibah Church Cemetary, Bishopville, S.C.

The census states, all of the family are native to S.C., and that Mr. SUTTON, is a farmer, renting a mortgaged property of 140 acres. The neighbors to each side are the Vernel Outlaw family on 130 acres, and the B.F. Johnson family, on 141 acres. Later children of this first marriage, are Anne Belle, b.1901, Lucille, and Ansel. Upon the death of Anne Elizabeth Mathis SUTTON, George Franklin SUTTON, married Mary Elizabeth FIELDS, b.4-12-1885, d.10-30-1932, in 1906. They had the following children: Annie E.

There are no service records that I have ever been able to find on the 4 regiments raised in November (Junior Reserves). There are some official records on the unit level but nothing on soldier level. What data I have has come from newspaper articles and the occassional county history. If you ever find, please let me know where so I can visit on my next trip back home. The Senior Reserves are a different matter. 95% of the names there came from Microfilm of Compiled Service Records. Unlike the Junior Reseves, the Senior Reserves were mustered into CSA service, which may account for a more records. Would not expect much but he does have one. The only referebce I have ever seen on the Stognerville Home Guards is in a mention in a book about the county. I am not even sure whether it was a recognized part of the militia. The SC Archives has a book on the AnteBellum militia units and does not list, though it is obvious not complete. Any data will be appreciate. I would like date/location born, died and buired, giving a more human face to these units. It is still under construction and I home to be able to add more.

I am still working on my Stogner family book, which includes a Brasington, or two. I know your have the information on my 2nd great grandfather, John Crawford Stogner, who was in the group of 16-year-olds from Lancaster Co., SC, Company I, 3rd Regiment State Troops, organized Sept. 1864. I have not sent for his service records, but really need to since I am in the process of also ordering a headstone for his grave, which has none, at Fork Hill Baptist Church Cemetery. But sure you let people know that the veterans that served in the Civil War, or any other war, for that matter, are eligible for a marker from the government. That's the least they can do.. Also, William Jackson stogner, born ca 1819, previously served in Stognerville Home Guards as a 1st Lieutenant. Seems when we write for service records, they don't show anything on William, but he was listed in the 5th Battalion of State Troops, Senior Reserves, Company E, Lancaster Co. Do you know anything about records on the Homeguards? Do you think he would also be eligible for a marker, in that case? You're doing good work trying to preserve this.

Hi Freda, I'm wondering if any of these early Butler Co., AL Fails moved there from Lancaster Co., SC. As you know, I am trying to prove my Butler Co.

Freda, I don't have any Failes in my line, but there were, during the 1960s and before, some FAILE families near Warrior, AL. I believe it is in Jefferson Co. Don't know where they originated, but maybe this will help. Arlene

It will be greatly appreciated if someone out there has any information concerning the Wright's listed below. I am trying to identify the parents of William Wright and the parents of his wife Sarah.

William Wright b: March, 1826, SC d: after 1900 in Lancaster County, SC Burial location of William and his wife Sarah is in Lancaster but actual place is not known. William Wright was a Laborer and and farmer in Lancaster Co. William Wright married abt 1844 to Sarah last name unknown b: abt 1830 d: bef 1900. William and Sarah Lived in Lancaster County, SC per the 1860 census Pleasant Hill Dist. page # 208 and in the 1870 census Taxahaw Dist. page # 364. William was a laborer, He nor Sarah could read and write which was not uncommon to Southern farmers of 19th century America. William was living as a boarder with many other people including a sister, sister-in-law or cousin named Rebecca Wright b: Jan-1820 of Lancaster at the Caskeys boarding home per the 1900 Lancaster Co., census, Gills Creek Twp., ED # 60, sheet # 16, line # 66. Rebecca may have been the wife of Eli Wright. William Wright enlisted in the Confederate Army at Lancaster, SC on April 16, 1864. He served as a private in Lt. Col. Brown�s 5th Battalion, Co. E, South Carolina Reserves. The Confederate Reserve Unit he served was ordered into service on September 15, 1864 and stationed at the Military Prison in Florence, SC. The Confederate stockade at Florence was the facility to house Union Soldiers which has not received the same notoriety as Andersonville but some historians state by many accounts Florence was worse. Note: 1-There is a William Wright per The Confederate Records of Lancaster District, SC, compiled by C.W. Author Frances Reeves Jeffcoat that list William Wright on the pension rolls in 1902. (page 193) 2-Another William Wright from Lancaster County, SC was also married to a Sarah, but this William Wright was killed in action at Gettysburg in July 1863. (page 39 of Jeffcoat's Records).

I could not find my Luke Faile in any of the SC military records, but knew he had lost a leg in the War. It seems he enlisted in Mississippi, while visiting relatives there. There must have been strong migration patterns from SC to MS. So if you are missing any ancestors check MS or AL.
