She married Albert Lemual Phillips, they lived in Lancaster County until after the Civil War, they moved to Tennessee sometime around 1870.

In 1956, a book was published by the Lancaster Historical Commission by Viola Caston Floyd, called Lancaster Tours. On page 81 is a picture captioned "FORK HILL BAPTIST CHURCH AS IT LOOKED IN 1890". There are 9 men standing in front of it. In 1968, there is a second edition and on the same page, the same picture has the following added to above caption "PICTURED ARE: JOHN M. HINSON, WILL DAN HINSON, T. JEFFERSON BLACKMON, DOCK SIMS, W. C. HINSON, JUDSON MACKEY, REEDY HINSON, WILLIE CRIMMINGER, BYNUM ADAMS." I assume they are named left to right but that is not stated. The picture is too small to see details about the men. W(illiam) C Hinson is my great grandfather, WILL DAN (Leonard William) HINSON is his uncle, and I have family ties to the rest.

We are in the process of building a wonderful web site for the ACPA, which will debut in a presentation at the Cemetery Workshop/Conference on Nov. 1. This site will be dedicated to sharing all kinds of material on PRESERVING, RESTORING AND CONSERVING Alabama Cemeteries. It is CHOCK-FULL of all kinds of GREAT things. Many of Alabama's cemeteries are being lost to the elements of mother nature, neglect and vandalism. The ACPA is working "hand in hand" with the Alabama Historical Commission to make sure that you have all the information you need to help preserve Alabama's Cemetery Heritage. One of the main missions of the ACPA is to encourage individuals, families and community groups to ADOPT a cemetery and take steps to help restore and preserve it. Issues on monument theft and vandalism are covered, as well as steps to take to ADOPT a cemetery. The site will have articles and "step by step" instructions, not only on the techniques of preserving and repairing cemeteries and grave markers, but also on the processes of establishing a non-profit Cemetery Association in Alabama, including by-laws, Articles of Association, and how and who to submit these to, so you can preserve your cemeteries for all time. Much of this information may be adapted to cemetery plights throughout the nation. Also a section on the Alabama Legal Code pertaining to laws that address the protection of cemeteries. AND VERY IMPORTANTLY, the ACPA has established an on-line CEMETERY REGISTER - A method/form for you to REGISTER cemeteries and burial surveys with the ACPA ON-LINE!. These REGISTERED Cemeteries will be recorded in the ACPA database, not only as a method to document them, but will be accompanied by a searchable database, so the guests to the ACPA web site may search cemeteries by name and county. It is the goal of the ACPA to REGISTER every cemetery in the state of Alabama. Once you register a cemetery, you may return to your original registration and up-date it with additional information as you discover it. We will also have a BURIAL LISTING database that will allow individuals to submit their cemetery burial surveys, also searchable by name, cemetery and county. ALL OF THIS will be presented at the Alabama Cemetery Workshop Conference on Nov. 1. Meanwhile, please visit the site and sign our GUESTBOOK to be notified when the full site will be fully operable and to receive further information about the Conference and ACPA Membership. http://www.alabama-cemetery-preservation.com or http://www.alcpa.net LAST BUT NOT LEAST! become an ACPA COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE! The ACPA is establishing a County Representative to act as a liaison for the ACPA in each County. We have JUST opened these volunteer positions up and they are GOING FAST! If you have Internet access and email and live in an Alabama county that you would like to represent, and are interested in preserving and recording the cemeteries in your county and would like to know more about this very important volunteer position, please contact me, or the ACPA County Coordinator, Ted Urquhart.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XeB.2ACI/1489.2 Message Board Post: Although the 1810 census of Lancaster District has been treated shabbily, it does not seem to be incomplete. There is a formal summary with breakdowns of the population, dated December 25, 1810 and signed by William Howe. The pages were numbered before filming, but taped together in a partially random order. Although someone may have been trying to cut the number of pages filmed in half, there is no plausible reason for the final arrangement. Page 371 is the front cover, and through it can be seen what was written on Page 372. In fact, nearly every page has material written with ink so dark that it is possible to determine which pages were opposite one another. Page 373 and 374 are back to back, as are 375/376, 377/378, and so on. On Page 372 the household enumeration starts with Jno Simpson, William Howe (who lived near Lancaster Ville on Gills Creek and who took the census), Jos Draffin, down the page until the 27th line, Jno Crawford. Page 373 runs from Jno Dunlap to Mary Cousar. The enumeration concludes with Page 402 -- Robt Harper through George Foster -- ending with a totals row for the whole census. Page 403 has a line for "Total Amount as above Exhibited in their columns is 6318". It is dated 26 Feb 1811 and signed by Wm Howe, and it states that "on the other side are an account of the Manufactorys --". Indeed, the Census of Manufactures data begins on Page 404 with a count of looms, stills, and tanyards and some statistics about productivity. Page 407 concludes the economic data ("No of Hatter Shops") which Wm Howe signed. A page labeled 408 is blank and through it can be seen the lines drawn for Page 407. One example of observing the proper order is that it brings Henry Hudson and Henry Hudson Junr together again as opposed to being pages and pages apart. Nonetheless, having spent a lot of time with this census over many years, this writer fails to see much pattern to the original arrangement of names generally.

Don, Thank you so much! What a way to study the census!! I am looking forward to "relooking" . .. . . You may not remember me but I wrote to you about Stephen Doby Hough once and you gave me his little family. I have since come across a ledger that he kept 1831-1833 of money exchanges for some sort of store. In 1850 something it was sold to a Garland and the notation is on the back cover. I have a transcription ofthe original. It is apparently is fragile condition. If you are interested, let me know. Thank you again for giving us a new approach to 1810!!

I feel like a real dunce to ask this but . . . how is the 1810 census of Lancaster Co incomplete? I also don't understand the "eastern section of Lynches and Hills Creek" because the eastern side of Lynches (and Hills Creek) is Chesterfield Dist, not Lancaster. Can you enlighten me?? Thanks! Also, I have a few of the census pages for both districts. If you have a name, let me know and I'll check for them.

(This address does not appear to be in service anymore.) DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM AND MARY JOHNSON of Lancaster County, South Carolina My numbering system is W1 for William, W1E for the 5th child (William T), W1E8 for 8th child William [b July 1864, SC] W1 William [ca 1790, SC--1848, SC] m: Mary ----- [ca 1795/96, SC--1851, SC]; four sons and four daughters. Old SC records use both the "Johnson" and "Johnston" spellings interchangeably for all persons with this surname. William and Mary Johnson resided on "lower" Camp Creek in Lancaster County, SC, southwest of Lancaster, a tributary of the Catawba River. Some deeds mention Garrett's branch, others Crooked Creek branch. William Johnson bought land from Robert Champion on 14 Dec 1813 -- the earliest reference found so far to him. The 1813 deed was not recorded, but is mentioned in an 1852 deed as part of Mary Johnson's estate. Possibly he had brothers James F. and John M. Johnson. William Johnson did not write a will. The first records having to do with the settlement of his estate were dated 8 September 1848. The court appointed a commission to decide how best to distribute the real estate among the heirs. The commissioners appointed were Francis P. Ingrem, John D. Young, Evan Rollings, Caswell Mobley, and John N. Dunlap. On the same date, the court named Nelson Bell (a son-in-law of the deceased) to look after the interests of the minor heirs: James I. Johnson, Marion M. Johnson, Sarah Ann Terry, and William Terry. Barnett D. Johnson, the eldest son, became administrator of the estate and legal guardian of his Terry niece and nephew. His guardianship application was made 29 Jan 1849, and his appointment was made in February. His guardianship bond was signed 4 Feb 1850 and was co-signed by Francis P. Ingrem and James I. Johnson. James I. Johnson turned 21 early in the settlement process, and so did not need a legal guardian. On 25 June 1849, William T. Johnson petitioned for guardianship of his younger brother, Marion. The bond, dated 1 Jan 1850, was co-signed by Nelson Bell and George W. Bell. As administrator, Barnett D. Johnson did his figuring on the basis of a widow and eight children. One child was deceased, so her share was divided between her two children, the Terry minors. Several years later, Barnett D. Johnson filed a petition for the distribution of the estate of Mary Johnson. The heirs appeared in court on 12 Jan 1852, at which time 2 Feb 1852 was set as the date for the auctioning of her land. Mary Johnson left 196 acres on Camp Creek, adjoining lands of James S. Thompson, W. F, Brasington, and William T. Johnson. James S. Thompson of Liberty Hill, Kershaw District, who had been acquiring land in the Camp Creek area, bid $1512 and arranged to pay in installments. Witnesses were John Thompson and J. A. Stewman. Signatures of W. T. Johnson and Marion Johnson are preserved on receipts for payment of their shares in the receipt book which James H. Witherspoon kept for the Lancaster County court. Other property left by Mary Johnson included household furni! shings, a horse, some livestock, cotton, and a slave named Abraham. James I. Johnson, who had recently moved to Georgia, sold his interest in his mother's estate to William T. Johnson. William and Mary Johnson began their family in or soon after 1815. The first three children were daughters. Of one, nothing is known for certain except that she was still living when her parents' estates were being settled. One daughter, name unknown, married a Terry, and was the mother of Sarah Ann Terry and William W. Terry. A daughter named Jane Johnson, unmarried, died during the first half of 1849. Barnett D. Johnson was born in 1821. William T. Johnson was born 13 Feb 1824. Sarah E. Johnson was born ca 1826. James Ivey Johnson was born ca 1828. Marion M. Johnson was born in 1833. William T. resided in Lancaster Co, SC. Barnett, James, Marion, and probably Sarah, moved to Hart Co, Georgia. Marion moved on to San Saba Co, Texas. James also moved on, possibly to Alabama. W1E William Thomas [13 Feb 1824, SC--7 April 1871, SC] m: 1st ca 1843 Anna Cousart Bell [4 July 1825, SC--25 July 1859, SC], 7 children; 2nd 16 Dec 1863 Mary Ann [Biggart] Hammond (widow) [15 June 1834, SC--4 November 1896, SC], 2 children. William's first wife, Anna Cousart Bell, was a daughter of Nelson Bell [4 Feb 1794, PA--22 March 1869, SC] who married on 18 April 1821 Ellen Welsh Adams [30 Dec 1794--20 Dec 1876]. The Lancaster Ledger reported the death of Mrs Ann C. Johnson, wife of W. T. Johnson, in the issue of 17 Aug 1859. It stated that she had been a faithful member of Camp Creek Methodist Episcopal Church for 16 years and that she was survived by her husband and five small children. The 1870 Federal Mortality Schedule lists cause of death as "typhoid pneumonia". William's second wife, Mary Ann, was the widow of George W. Hammond [27 November 1817--29 July 1860], and was the mother of 3 Hammond children before she married W. T. Johnson. The Lancaster Ledger of 23 Dec 1863 reported that on the previous Wednesday the 16th, Sergeant W. T. Johnston of Captain Foster's Company, Rutledge's Cavalry was married to Mrs Mary Hammond of Kershaw District at the bride's mother's house by James R. Magill Esq. Mary Ann's father, James Biggart [1784--1855] had come from County Down, Ireland, and lived in Kershaw District where his will was filed. A notice of his death appeared in the Ledger on 13 June 1855. Mary's mother was born Susan Fleming, daughter of Alexander Fleming [d 1831] who was a son of James Fleming. After William T. Johnson's death, Mary Ann married two more times: first to Burrell Bradley, then to Samuel Hammond. She is buried at the Beaver Creek Cemetery in Kershaw Co, SC. John W. Twitty looked after the legal interests of her minor! Hammond children: Samuel Lee, George Francis, and James Robert. William T. Johnson had land on "lower" Camp Creek. He and his sister Sarah were awarded 300 acres from their father's estate, and Sarah sold her share to William for $675. The land included a tract of 204 acres on Crooked Creek which had been resurveyed 4 Oct 1822 and a three-cornered tract containing 96 acres. In 1851, William purchased at public auction 130 acres from the estate of George Perry (Deeds Q, 215 and 217) bounded by lands of James S. Thompson, Henry V. Massey, Andrew McIlwain, and "land of the estate of Johnston". In Jan 1852 James Ivey Johnson a resident of Georgia but formerly of South Carolina sold to William T. Johnson his "right, title, and interest" in the estate of his deceased mother Mary Johnston, not including the land which was scheduled to be auctioned the first Monday of the following February. During the War Between the States, he was referred to as Sergeant W. T. Johnston of Captain Foster's Company, Rutledge's Cavalry when he married in Dec 1863. He later served as a sergeant in Company H, 4th Battalion Volunteer Cavalry, under Captain McIlwain. His signature appears on a receipt for $34.00 which was two months pay; he collected it 1 July 1864, the day he was released from a Confederate hospital in Richmond, VA. The census indicates that there were two children of William T and Mary Ann: William and Charles. I have found census records of one William Johnson with wife Sallie. I believe the information in these two queries applies to William. The dates from the census are not always reliable, but what I have is this: W1E8 William [b July 1864, SC] m: Sallie ----- [b Feb 1870, SC] ca 1890; 7 of 9 children living as of 1910 census. W1E8A Anna Belle [b Feb 1894, SC] W1E8B William [b May 1896, SC] W1E8C Steven [b Dec 1898, SC] W1E8D Lewis [b Feb 1900, SC] W1E8E Gladys [b ca 1903, SC] W1E8F Grace [b ca 1905, SC] W1E8G Dixon [b ca 1907, SC] I believe that William's brother Charles was the following: W1E9 Charles B. [b May 1870, SC] m: Jane Bowers [b October 1869] ca 1892; 5 of 6 children living as of 1910 census. In 1900, resided in Cane Creek Twp. In 1910 and 1920, resided in Pleasant Hill Twp. Both buried at Beaver Creek Baptist Church, Lancs. County, SC. Don Maring dmaring@netreach.net
