Dear Eleonore, Thank you so very, very much! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your kindness! Please, please, please, keep track of your time and if you make any kind of photocopies, etc. I am more than willing to reimburse you! My fingers are crossed! Thank you, again, Amy McCroskie Denver, CO

I'm brand new to this list and wondered if there are any RICHARDSON researchers here? I seek information on parents and siblings of James Madison Richardson, born 1809 in Lancaster, SC and died 1868 in Gainesville, FL. James Madison Richardson (1809-1868) was the oldest son of John Richardson (1778-1831) and Elizabeth Purdy (1792-?). His grand parents were William Richardson (1756-?) and Mary Tatum (1759-1794). JM's siblings were Mary (1811-?), Margaret (1815-?), Thomas (1817-?), William (1823-1825), Jincy (1824-?), Elizabeth (1827-1828), & John (1831-?) I've been in contact with a few family researchers, but no one knows about Thomas Richardson born 1817. Is there anyone out there that can shed some light for us? Regards, Amy McCroskie Denver, CO

Due entirely to the great talents of a cousin of mine, Wayne Huckabee, I now have a website, and would like to invite y'all to take a looksee. The SC crowd will be primarily interested in the Maternal Charts. My Paternal lines are from PA. If any of these families are in your lines, I would very much like to hear from you. http://home.talkcity.com/LibertySt/kinseeker4/index.html Bill Hughes [email protected] Peoria, Arizona SMILE! - It drives the "normal" folks crazy.

If anyone is interested in information dealing with the military exploits of some of our kinfolks, here is information I have recently found concerning one of my relatives. For those not familiar with the location of the Westville that is mentioned here, it is in Kershaw County. Richmond Hobson Hilton was a 2xg/g'son of James Hilton, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and a 3xg/g'son of Richard Hilton, who fought in the Cherokee-Indian Wars....................Bill ============================================ A note in the section of information concerning recipients of the Congressional Medal Of Honor states: "Born in 1898 just 6 months after Richmond Hobson's heroic actions during the Spanish-American War, Richmond Hobson HILTON received the Medal Of Honor during World War I, the only name-sake of a Medal Of Honor hero to also receive the Medal Of Honor". His citation reads: "The President of the United States in the name of The Congress takes pleasure in presenting the Medal Of Honor to HILTON, RICHMOND HOBSON. Rank and organization: Sergeant, U.S. Army, Company M, 118th Infantry, 30th Division. Place and date: At Brancourt, France, 11 October 1918. Entered service at: Westville, S.C. Born: 8 October 1898, Westville, S.C. G.O.: 16, W.D., 1919. CITATION: While Sgt. Hilton's company was advancing through the village of Brancourt it was held up by intense enfilading fire from a machinegun. Discovering that this fire came from a machinegun nest among shell holes at the edge of the town, Sgt. Hilton, accompanied by a few other soldiers, but well in advance of them, pressed on toward this position, firing with his rifle until his ammunition was exhausted, and then with his pistol, killing 6 of the enemy and capturing 10. In the course of this daring exploit he received a wound from a bursting shell, which resulted in the loss of his arm."

I am trying to get in touch with JOSEPH J. BAKER.........he is/was connected in some way with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and had posted a query concerning information about Clarissa Jane BAKER of Flat Creek, Lancaster County, SC. I have tried to reply, but the e/mail address given for JOSEPH J. BAKER at the University is not working and all attempts have bounced. I do have some information on that family and would like to compare notes with you on what you might have. Bill Hughes [email protected] Peoria, Arizona SMILE! - It drives the "normal" folks crazy.

If you have been thinking about a memory upgrade or even a computer purchase. this might be a good time to do it. Due to the earthquakes in Taiwan, I have received Price Warnigns from 3 of my major computer hardware partners. Supply will most likely be short in the 4th quarter and we may seem some upwards price. Not to say you should rush out and do it, but price declines may have hit the bottom, at least until the year 2000.

JOSEPH J. BAKER posted a query a while back on the board at the Catawba-Wateree Society website, asking for information on the family of William and Clarissa [?] BAKER of the Flat Creek area of Lancaster County, SC. These were my 4xg/g'parents, and this is the first person I have ever seen working on this family line. The e/mail address that he gave for contacting him does not work. I have tried it a couple of times and it bounces each time. If JOSEPH J. BAKER sees this, or if anyone knows him, please, please get in touch with me as soon as possible !! The e/mail address he gave was : [email protected](BAKER.JOSEPH) I've tried it with and without the part in parenthesis there at the end. Thank you for your time. Bill Hughes [email protected]

Kinseeker, John R. Rodgers was born in Chester District in 1814. Parents are unknown to me. He married Priscilla Jane Riggins. I believe her father was Nasa Riggins and that her mother's name was Mary. John R. and Priscilla Jane Riggins Rodgers move to York County sometime in the 1840s. Can you add anything?

Since this appears as tho it's gonna be a long, slow weekend with so many folks gone out for a few days, I'm gonna put out a lookup offer for this weekend ONLY. The ground rules are that only three [3] complete names per request can be made. No requests for "just" a surname. I need the full name of the head of household. In order to save bandwidth on the list, please make your requests to my e/mail address and use the above subject line. Make sure you include your name and "correct" e/mail address for a reply. Who knows, we may find out that we're kinfolks in search of each other. Hoping that everyone will have a safe and happy Labor Day weekend.
