I am trying to find the parents for Elias Stephens b. 9/30/1801 S.C. d. 12/16/1865 Coweta County, Ga. who is believed to be from Lancaster county area or other nearby county in S.C. Elias married Barbara Rush? Stephens and moved to Coweta County Ga, around 1834-1835. at least two of his children were born in S.C. (Emaline Stephens and Marion Stephens around 1833-1834). Elias and Barbara and their children and Barbara's mother Mary show up in the 1850 and other Coweta County census' and are burried in this area. My uncle's research concluded that Elias' father was Joab from Lancaster and Joab's father was Moab from Lancaster (Moab and Joab are shown in S.C. census listings in 1810). However we have no definite source that shows these relationships ...mostly assumption from other research. Another family members research concluded that a James Stephens was Elias father and James was the brother of John Washington Stephens. Can anyone please help document the father and mother and brothers and sisters of Elias. Thanks!!! Ed Martin [email protected]

Thanks, but I was not requesting a lookup only commenting on missing Civil war personel. :D Bil Brasington wrote: > > I will check tonight (I unfortunately still work for a living).

I had trouble locating my husband's Civil War ancestor, knew he had lost a leg, but no record in SC. Lewis (Pegleg Luke)Faile (1840-1922) was visiting relatives in MS when the war broke out and he enlisted down there. I would have bet he had never been out of the county, he was born and died in Lancaster Co. He did file in SC for an artificial limb. So keep looking for those records in unexpected places. -- L. L.

dear Bil, Hi. I am interested if you have found a James P. Small (b. @1830) on any of your lists. My grandmother said that he was a solider but I have not been able to find him anywhere. He is the son of Uriah Small son of John Small. We have been in contact before and I always appreciate your help. I told you I though my grandmother had a picture of some of the Small's but unfortunately I was wrong It is a picture of the Morgan side of our family. Are you related to the Morgan families from Lancaster/Kershaw area. There are some many people doing research on the Small family. Most of them have been from the Thomas Small. Thank you for everything.

I will check tonight (I unfortunately still work for a living). Have you considered that his name was spelled VAIL of FAIL? I will violate my first rule and check both. I think I have some Faile's in my Family Tree. >Date: Fri, 19 Feb 1999 12:00:09 -0600 >From: Laura Lee Scott <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [SCLANCAS-L] South Carolina CSA Soldiers >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: [email protected] > >I had trouble locating my husband's Civil War ancestor, knew >he had lost a leg, but no record in SC.

I have the recently published (1998) Roster of Confederate Units, South Carolina Volume. I am willing to help in your research by doing a lookup. This book is a listing of National Archive Records and contains name, unit, and company. It has nothing about where he or when he served. There is no source of all the troops from SC who served. Some of the State Troop units (especially those raised in the last year of the war) are all but lost to history. My great grandfather is not here but is on the muste of a Company of 16 year olds from Lancaster/Kershaw County. Also, SC was a rabid secessopnist state and many men crossed into North Carolina and Georgia to join there, where a bounty was needed to fill their needs. These men ARE NOT in this book. There are men who were born outside of SC and who joined a SC unit who will be here. Having learned my lesson with my Swamp Fox offer, I will respond to only those who provide a surname and a given name or initials. I will ignore surname requests only. I just don't have that much time available. I will look for close hits but will no look at every possible spellings. I will also include anyone else of In my surname alone, I have 4 different spellings, all 1st cousins. Remeber, this is an index. No dates, no places, just name, unit, and rank. It will give you enough information to request a compiled service record from the Naional Archives. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Sorry, but Sherman's troops (came through Lancaster in February 1865) burned all the wills and equity court papers. The Ordinary (now Probate Judge) had piled these papers into wagons and was on his way to hide them at Haile Gold Mine when he was intercepted. It was a stupid decision because, although Federals attempted to burn the courthouse they did not succeed. The result is that Clerk of Court's papers, including all the land deeds, still survive. The only way Blair's 1826 will could have survived is if a second copy was handed down to his heirs. Louise Pettus

Hi, Could you check to see if any BLACKs were on this roster? Thanks. Cheryll

Looking for a will for WILLIAM HIRAM BLAIR d 1824 in Lancaster Co. Does anyone have access to will index? Need to prove his children. Wanda

My ggm, Mary Ann PHILLIPS Sutton, has been found on the 1860 Lancaster Co., S.C. census, age 28 and m.to my ggf Zachariah Sutton, with one child, Sarah Frances, age 5 months. Same information on the 1870 Lancaster Co., census, age 38, five children, Sarah Frances, age 10, Eliza Ann, age 8, George Franklin, age 6 (my gf), Lucy, age 3, and Sophronia Matilda, age 7 months. In the 1880 Kershaw Co., S.C. census, she is listed as a widow, age 46, with two children, George Franklin, age 16, and Sophronia Matilda, age 10. I do not have any confirmed information on Mary Ann PHILLIPS Sutton, prior to 1860, or after 1880. I understand she may be the daughter, M.A. Phillips, listed in the Fairfield Co., S.C., 1850 census, p. 659: R. Phillips (Robert) male age 64, b. 1786, S. Phillips (Susannah Baxter) age 55, b. 1795 M.A. (Mary Ann) Phillips, age 18, b.1832 L.A. (Lemual Albert) Phillips, age 14, b.1836, R.J. (Robert John) Phillips, age12, b. 1832, and J.J. (John Jefferson) Phillips, age 10, b. 1840 The graves of John Jefferson PHILLIPS, b. 17 Oct 1846, d. 17 Jul 1912, his wife Jincy J. PHILLIPS, b.6 Jan 1841 , d. 1 Feb 1900, and a Margaret Byrd PHILLIPS, b. 29 Jan 1809, d. 15 Apr 1892, are located in Lancaster Co., Flat Creek area, at the intersection of Taxhaw Road and Constable Dr., in the small Farmer-Pittman Cemetery, adjacent to the New Haven Baptist Church. I've been told, my gf, George Franklin Sutton,b.1-10-1864, d.11-14-1943, visited this site many times. Can anyone provide me with information, to confirm this M.A. PHILLIPS, as being the same, as my Mary Ann PHILLIPS Sutton? Thank you, David T. Sutton [email protected]

I am hoping to find further information on the ancestry of my 3xg/g'mother, Lydia Jane BAKER, born 13 Aug 1836 and died 30 Sep 1884 in the Flat Creek area of Lancaster County. She married Andrew Jackson BAKER [6 Mar 1825 - 9 May 1896], of the same area. Whether or not these two BAKER lines were related before this is still unanswered. Lydia was a daughter of William BAKER [@[email protected]] and Clarissa [?]. William was a son of William H. BAKER [@[email protected]], also of the same area. Any/all help with this line would be greatly appreciated.
