Her parents were William Massey and Elizabeth Rives Massey (he was a Lt. Col. in the Revolution) Jane and William had a daughter, Polly Porter who first married a Crawford, had a daughter Jane who married Geo. N. McGill and moved to Miss. Polly second married Malcolm Howell and had Wm. P. and Samantha, who married Pinckney Thorpe in Miss. The Masseys and Porters, etc., lived in the upper part of Lancaster County (bordering Union County, N. C.) so maybe these are who you're looking for. Hope this helps if you haven't already found it.

Does anyone have information on the family of Louise West who married James R. Hunter. They were parents of Jane (born about 1844) and John Hunter. Jane married William Starling Horton. Thanks! Lynn Teague teague_l@bellsouth.net

There is information on that family at Tony Cox's website at: http://home.att.net/%7Excc2all/stephendukefamily.htm This focuses on the Duke family but includes McKey information. There is reason to believe that these families may have come together from Virginia.

Hello! My name is Mary McKey Abshire. I am doing research on the Mackey family of Lancaster, South Carolina.

I have extensive information on Thomas's branch of the family tree and will happily share. Thank You, Mary McKey Abshire

Hello Everyone, It is with a very heavy heart that today I send a message to let everyone know that my cousin Nancy Crockett of Lancaster County, South Carolina passed away today. She was a great southern lady, a wonderful cousin and to some on this list a great friend. After many books I have seen on Lancaster County there are 2 names that I have seen many many times in the credits, one is Louise Pettus's and the other is her friend Nancy Crockett. For those of you that knew her, her arrangements are still pending, when known they will be forwarded to anyone that wants them. Please email me privately for them. Between Nancy and Louise, Lancaster County genealogy is well preserved. Rest in peace Nancy and I will see you again sometime. Sincerely, Valeria Reckert Waxhaw List Admin

I am searching for Thomas Sweatt birth after 1895 possibly in Yorkville, S.C. His father was Alfred Sweat/Sweatt. We called them Uncle Tom and Aunt Freddie, they lived in Chester in 1950 with 2 children Frances and a son I do not remember his name. I believe that Uncle Tom worked in the cotton mill. Any information is appreciated. dmmsc@bellsouth.net Doris

I will be adopting the Lancaster county Saving Graves web page. If anyone wants to help with the page, contribute pictures, internment lists, etc, please contact me.

I am looking for information on a Benjamin Perry b abt 1760 who married Mary Starke. He is supposed to have died about 1814. I have a Sarah Perry b 1802 that may have been his daughter. He had a son Benjamin b 1793 who married Eliz M. Kimbro in 1829 in Alabama. Any info would be appreciated. Pam Kirkland

Steven, I have a couple of questions for you. My father's family is buried in the main city cemetery in Rock Hill. I recently looked at the online at their website (which is wonderful) and then looked back at the records they sent me in the early 1990s about our family plots. They have listed as the person to contact as my grandfather who passed away in the 1920s. Do I need to contact them and give them a new contact person? It kinda upset me that no one had changed the information since the 1910s when the plots were purchased. Two more people had been buried in the family plot since 1960 and still there was not an update. Should this be the type of thing others should be worried about? Keeping the contact information current. My second question... my grandmother and some other relatives were spinners and weavers at the big mill that was in Rock Hill from 1900-1919. Are there records about that old mill in Rock Hill. Congrats on your hard work on the SC cemeteries. I much admire your hard work. Penny E.
