Good morning, Fran. It is marvelous of you to take the time to answer my request. I have been looking for my greatgrandfather and his ancestors since 1995 and found out about them day before yesterday from a lost cousin in Germantown, Maryland. I had some information on my grandfather William Massey who was born in 1827 in SC. I will be headed for Taxahaw in September. If you would, kindly remember me in the future if you run across anything else. I do not want to be a pest but I started from scratch trying to find out about my ancestors as no one in the family seemed to care a hoot about ancestors. I have traced one line, my grandmother Sarah Estelle Perry, all the way back to William I The Conqueror King of Englamd and on back to Adam and Eve. I take this with a grainof salt because I think it would be hard to prove most of the entries. I got the info from the Internet but cannot vouch for it reliability....but it wa fun searching. I was born and raised in McKinney, Collin Co, TX. Thank you again for helping piece my existance together. Have fun and take care of yourself. If I can be of any help to you please let me know.

Gloria, When were you told that the Lancaster County Pictorial History was sold out? The reason I ask is that the original edition was sold out some time ago but the Chamber of Commerce reprinted last year and I have not heard that they have sold out of the second printing.

Gloria, Ref your message..."I have two books on the Cemetery Data from Lancaster Co. - they are not complete - a third book was to be done, but never printed. But I would be glad to search for a name...". Would you mind checking it for SUTTON. Especially, Edmon, Zachariah, Mary and George. Thank you, David T. Sutton Hendersonville, N.C. [email protected]

Calvin - I was told this book was out of print and all copies sold - from the Lancaster Chamber of Commerce. The books - I think there were two - are in the Lancaster Library. If you ever find a copy for sale - I would like to have one, also. Thanks I have two books on the Cemetery Data from Lancaster Co. - they are not complete - a third book was to be done, but never printed. But I would be glad to search for a name, if that would help you. I only live 30 miles from Lancaster and go there quite often to do research, as that is where my family is from. Gloria

Vickie, I don't understand. When I go to the addresses I listed I come to a page with a listing of *.gif files. When I click on one of the *.gif files I come up with what appears to be an actual census page?

Sue, Thanks, but it is the index to the 1810 that is online rather than the census itself. Take care. Vickie Elam White

I made this offer on the SC-GENEALOGY list and it fizzled faster than one of those old 3 for a penny bottle rockets you used to get............SO......I'm gonna make the offer here on these lists. If you see this more than once, it means you're on more than one list. Good on ya!! Since so many of the early settlers into SC came down from further nawth, it stands to reason that at least some of them spent some time in NC way back when. I have the "First State Census of NC, 1784-1787" and will do lookups under certain guidelines. I need the full name of the person requested, not just "send me all of the JONES' "...........which reminds me, if it's a common name, a really good guess at the county would be most helpful...........no more than three [3] FULL names per request.......................AND, if you request one of my family surnames, expect interrogation by return e/mail. This offer for lookups is good until this coming Sunday afternoon. R. W. [Bill] Hughes ©¿©¬ [email protected] Peoria, AZ Please see my homepage at: http://lightning.prohosting.com/~bhughes

Susan, was going to suggest looking into York County, but, see that you have been researching that. Only other thought, is that when researching one branch of my family in Union County Nc, found some of them in Lancaster County Sc. They were on the line and depending on paperwork, some of them shown in Union county Nc, and some in Lancaster County Sc!. Do know that there is a large group of Lyles in/around Rock Hill Sc (york county).

Hi, I have been to the courthouse in Lancaster and the SC archives and have come to a dead-end which has ended with burned courthouse records. My ancestors were in Lancaster County, SC but I was wondering if anyone researching in other SC counties may have come across these unusual names. Has anyone researched or come across info on the Lyles families of Lancaster Co., SC in the 1700-1800's? I have an ancestor (Minor Lyles) who appears with Charlotte Adams - widow and Elizabeth Lyles - spinster along with his brothers Duren and Michael. Minor and Duren would have been born in the 1840s. All of the brothers show that they were born in SC as well as their parents. I am assuming that they were orphaned and then went to live with Charlotte and Elizabeth. A James Lyles, of an age to be a sibling of Elizabeth's, lives next door. I am assuming that Charlotte may have been a Lyles before marriage as well. I haven't been able to find the boys' parents. With names like Minor and Duren you would think that I could trace them. Dure n married Sarah Elizabeth Blackmon but had no children. Minor married Rebecca Hinson and moved to Gadsden, Alabama in the 1890s. Michael married Mary ? and moved to York County, SC. Minor had a granddaughter named Lily/Lillie and Michael had a daughter named Lily/Lillie. Minor named his 2 sons John Franklin and William Riley. Is there any info on where the Lancaster Lyles clan may have migrated from or been related to? Has anyone seen these unusual first names or maybe a Riley/Raley-Lyles connection? Any help or leads would really be appreciated! Thanks Susan

Cuzzin Aileen, I have NO idea as to the story behind her name. What I have is a printed copy of the 1880 Federal Census for Lancaster County, taken from the LDS microfiche. Someone had apparently transcribed it from the original handwritten copies. Her name appeared: Reuel (?) L. on this copy. Please keep me posted. Cuzzin Bill

HI folks We are changing email addresses. Please send email to [email protected] If you would make this change it should be a "permanent" email address for Cliff and Sheryl Townsend Thanks thats [email protected]

On the Roster of 5th Battalion, Senior Reserves, Company E, put on the net by Bil Brasington, I found my Ervin Knight and his son J. J. T. Knight. They are both serving there. This was a son by his first wife, the only name we have came from the census records, which list her only as C. E. (wife). Anyway check out his list it is great. There are a couple of others on the list that I think could be mine but I have to research them first. Thanks Bil. Aileen

Thank you all for the help with the census on Lancaster 1850, 1860 and 1880. You have been most helpful. Cuzzin Bill, thank you so much. The census record for 1880 which you sent me is my boy! Also Donald Maring send the 1850 data. Thank you so much. Cuzzin Bill, The William J. age 15 was actually a step son of Ervin Knight. The son was a Williams. Ervin Knight's second wife was Nora Nancy Stogner who was the widow of William Williams a Yankee who left her in Lancaster County to go back up north to sale some land. He was not to be gone very long, but she never heard from him again. No one knows what happened to him, he could have been killed for this was the era of the Civil War or he could have deserted the wife and two children. The second child was a girl named Birdie Williams born 1866. She is not on the 1880 census you sent. But the others are Nancy Lou Ells Josephine Knight married Jessie Franklin Catoe, Andrew Jackson Knight was born 1872, Ellie Albert Knight was born 1874, Martha A. Knight was born 1878, Julie Anne Knight born Feb 19, 1881 married Mack Eudy of Monroe, NC, Joseph Lee Knight born Oct 8, 1884 married Arzenia Estridge. I knew three of these children but the others I have very little on. I just cannot figure the name of the wife on the 1880 census. You have Reuel L. that is far out. Unless he had a third wife, but her age matches my Nora Nancy Stogner. Any suggestions? Thanks again to all of you. Aileen

Mandy, your ISP is bouncing your e/mail and I can't get the requested info on the BLACKMON family thru to you. Please advise me as to what is going on and why your e/mail addy is not working.
