Bill, Leonidas Lowry was a Baptist Minister from the White Plains area of Chesterfield County. In a letter he wrote his brother in Mississippi he said that some of his neighbors were upset with him about the service. I will look at his papers in a couple of day and will scan them, if I learn to scan, if not will email. Carolyn

First of all, let me apologize to those of you who will get this more than once. I am cross posting to a number of the SC lists at the same time. I am looking for any/everyone who might have connections with and/or information on the family of ESTRIDGE [sometimes seen as EASTRIDGE]. They seem to have popped up out of the ground in Lancaster County in the late 1700s or so and then vanished into thin air a couple of generations later. Any help at all with this family would be greatly appreciated. R.W. [Bill] Hughes ©¿©¬ [email protected] Please See My Homepage At: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bhughes/

Thanks for your response. I have no information on their route. Am working on that now. If I find any information, I will keep you in mind. I have found mention of Falkenberry family on same census page. Some of the children intermarried with this family after move to AL. Have no proof that it is the same family, only speculation.

Thanks for your response. I cannot tell you the excitement I feel over the possible link. I have been searching for six years to find family of William. Will be happy to swap GEDCOM with you. I am not good aboput sending them by computer though. I usually end up sending them by snail mail. My Helton research is 100 pages. William Joseph was born in Lancaster County, SC in 1799(Church records from AL) 1798 by family legend. He married Elizabeth Moore, born abt. 1800 in SC where she was also born. I find he and Elizabeth in AL(Monore County) in 1830 Census. There is also William Helton listed on 1830 Census Index for Lancaster County, SC. H 435 Lancaster Co SC Helton William M-019 173 083 NdRcd. I still have to get a copy of this actual image to see if description might fit my William and Elizabeth. Their first two children were girls, Mary N., bornAugust 5, 1824 and Rebecca, born 1826. My information on location of birth for the two comes from 1850 Census Records that say AL was birthplace. Family history says the two girls were born in SC before they arrived in AL. Do you think it posssible for William to be counted on Census in SC and AL for 1830? I do not have a month for 1830 Census project in either place. William and Elizabeth had nine children : 3) William Joseph, Jr., born 1830 ( 1880 census states AL) 4) Isaac M., born Nov 22, 1831 ( 1880 Census states SC) 5) Jeremiah F., born 1835 in AL. 6) James Monroe, born Jan 22, 1837 in AL. 7) John Alexander, born May 10, 1839 in Tunnel Springs, AL(My great grandfather) 8) Sarah J. born 1842, a twin. 9) Thomas born in 1842, a twin. Elizabeth died of complications from childbirth of twins in 1842. William married again in 1843 to Mary Ann White, daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth McCammon White. Thomas died in Fishing Creek(Chester County, SC) Mary Ann was born in 1822. William and Mary Ann had five more children. Henry Clay born in 1847; Joseph White born in 1849; M. Sophronia "Phronie" born Dec 24, 1856; Maryan G."Mamie"; Jefferson D."Jeff" born Aug 12, 1861. All six of William and Elizabeth's sons fought for the Confederacy. Thomas was killed. I wonder if the naming pattern has any resemblance to naming pattern in your link. William appeared to have money because he bought land right away in AL. Hope to hear from you soon.

I do have him in Company K, 4th SC (1863-64) and would love to have what ever you have. Dates and places of birth, death, and burial will definately be appreciated. If you search the 1864-76 index for Brasington (3rd Junior Reserves, Company A), you will see where I am going on all these units. Did he live in York County or Lancaster? All my paternal lines are in Lancaster and Kershaw County and I see some familiar surnames in his company but not enough to think it is out of Lancaster.

My late mother-in-law told me her 3rd great grandfather was a Turk. She was born, raised and died in Lancaster Co. SC. Both her materal and paternal parents were FAILEs. Anyone know of families in the area descended from Turks. I do know there was one or two groups in Colonial SC. RW Hughes wrote: > > We have moved my webpage and updated it some. Please check it out.

I apologize if you have received this message more than once but I am sending to all the lists I belong. During the war years, many men served in South Carolina reserve units. I have built a site of all such units I cab find, most with rosters of the men who served. I have built a web site at http://www.geocities.com/screbels_1864/SC_Militia.html with some data about the troops (some more than others) and wish to have more. I have some battle and field assignments. If you have data on any of these units and/or the men (and boys) who served, I would love to hear from you. I would love to know what county each was raised from. Researchers have generally over looked them but every county contributed to these units. If you send data, let me know whether you wish for me to add your email to the page or not (your choice). Anyway, take a look and honor their service on this Memorial Day. W A "Bil" Brasington PS. The 1864 units (my special interest) is included on the above link and can also be reached at http://freeweb.pdq.net/Bil_Brasington/SeedCorn.htm to steal from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research.

First of all, let me apologize ahead of time for those of you who will see this more than once. I am cross-posting to several of the SC lists at once to save effort. I am trying to find information on the parents of either one or both of these folks. John Rochell HORTON [12 May 1781 - 14 Sep 1863] was married on 11 Mar 1807 to Elizabeth STANLEY [9 Jan 1775 - 22 Feb 1851]. I have a fair bit of descendancy from them, but nothing at all [zero] on the ascendancy of either one of them. Can anyone help? They were "probably" in the area of Chesterfield/Kershaw/Lancaster County, just not really sure........yet. Thank you Bill Hughes [email protected]

First of all, let me say that this is being cross-posted to several lists, so if you see it more than once.....I'm sorry. I am looking for any information on the ESTRIDGE family of the Lancaster County area during the 1800s. A maternal line 2xgreat grandmother was named Mary Delila ESTRIDGE [1 Nov 1855 - 18 Jan 1938]. Her parents were Thomas Wylie ESTRIDGE and Mary BLACKMON. This is "all" that I know on this family, and would love to be able to add some to it. R. W.
