Am researching the above listed names in Lancaster Co, and other counties, in SC. Our Jesse Mes(s)hew had a 1794 Governor's land grant in Lancaster Co (neighbors were Johnstons, etc.), married an Elizabeth Croxton, daughter of Benjamin and Mary (Minter) Croxton, and departed the area, circa 1808, for TN and far western KY, when the Jackson Purchase opened up. The Land Grant was in the name of Mesho, and was originated out of Charleston. Jesse joined Marion, the Swamp Fox, in 1780, in Georgetown, and spent several tours with the group. Was in Charleston when it fell to the British. Served until circa 1783 or 4. Have, through Liz DiGravina, most of Croxton info, but need Jesse's parents. He stated, in his Rev War Pension Application, he was born in VA, circa 1756. Would appreciate any info. Ron Meshew, Rocky Mount, NC _ronmeshew@aol.com_ (mailto:ronmeshew@aol.com)
