John Calvin Lindley is in my files as the husband to Cynthia Abercrombie. John Calvin Lindley is listed as born 14 Aug. 1826 and died 15 March 1901 in Laurens Co., S.C. His parents are listes as William and Elizabeth (Ridgeway) Lindley. Have more data on Lindley and Abercrombie if interested. For clarification, there never was anyone named John Hiram Newton Sims. There was, however, Hiram Sims that married Mary Abercrombie. They were my ggg grandparents. Mary Abercrombie was a daughter of Colvill and Mary (lindley) Abercrombie. Hiram Sims was a son of Clayborn and Martha Sims. Have extensive documented data on this Sims line to prove family connections.

Surnames: Reed/Reid Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YeB.2ACI/279 Message Board Post: Can anyone tell me if there is a household in the 1840 census with a Mary Reid, age 60? She is in Bibb County Alabama by 1850 apparently with her grandchildren, Elizabeth, 22, Mary, 17 and John A., 15. John A. is my gg-grandfather. I am trying to determine if the parents of these children died sometime in the 1840s forcing them to move with their grandparents/grandmother to Alabama. Elizabeth was married to John Bracknell, a blacksmith from SC as early as 1847, so the grandmother and children may have moved with them to Alabama. The spelling of the name was changed to REED or possibly was misspelled as REID on the census. I think that John A. Reed's father's name could have been William since he named his first-born son that name. I'd appreciate any help from census/estate/land sale records.

My deed notes show that in 1833, Deed Book N, page 30, John Smith sold 44 acres on north side of Reedy River to Tilman Smith. The land was originally granted to David Dunlap, Sr.. It bordered Wm O'Daniel, James Boyd, Elijah Smith, and Thomas White. Richard Lorenz

I had a gr gr grandfather Tom Reid whose daughter was Willie Alice Reid, b. 5/1864 in Ga., m. Thomas Ancel Ferguson in 1878 at age of 14, d. 4/16/1939 in Columbia, SC (Richland Co.) (age 74). She told my mother (her granddaughter) She, her brother, and parents took a wagon train out west. They were attached by Indians. Her parents were killed. Some of the train turned back and, also, brought her and her brother back to Greenville, SC. One family took her and another family took her brother, whom she never heard from again. Not sure of his age nor name. She is on the 1870 census with a Satterfield family (no male). When she was 14 she married Thomas Ferguson although she was told by the Satterfield lady she would be disowned. Do not know if the Satterfield lady was a relative. I wonder if this could be some of her relatives! I will check on the the 1840 census for Reed or Reid. Only thing is if there was a living husband, Mary's name won't be listed. Does anyone have knowledge of how to locate information on the wagon trains which went west? Since they had a leader most of the tine I would think it would be on record somewhere JoyMac ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2002 11:44 PM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Reed/Reid | Can anyone tell me if there is a household in the 1840 census with a Mary Reid, age 60?

Am looking for the family of George W. Martin that may have been born in Newberry or Laurens co. back in the early 1820's-1840. He may very well be the brother WILLIAM WADDELL MARTIN. There may also be a JAMES as well. George, age 43, is listed in the 1860 census for Pickens co-he lists his birth place as "Laurence" (probably a misspell from the enumerator) and a Amanda, age 35. There may also be a MARION/MARIAN W MARTIN in this family. Do any of these names ring any bells? Sandy Hamilton

I am very sorry to those on the list looking for more names in that Scrapbook.. After I started putting the names in, my job got REAL busy and I wasn't able to keep going. On top of that-I did something that deleted or lost some of my folders with some of the lookup requests. So, to those who asked for info on any of the names I had posted, if you haven't gotten it from somewhere else, I'll try and get it out to you if you could resend your request. To the others pondering the names.. Send me a surname and I'll let you know who is in there. Again, my sincerest apologies. Sandy H
