Posted on: Laurens Co. SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Laurens/10274 Surname: JONES, ABERNATHY ------------------------- Who were the parents of Rhoda Jones (1797-1875) who married John Davis Abernathy in 1816 in Laurens Co. SC? Her husband was a son of John Abernathy who married Rhoda Davis in 1775 in Newberry Co. SC. Mr. and Mrs. John Davis Abernathy moved from SC to GA in 1829 or 1830. They joined Ebenezer Primitive Baptist Church in DeKalb Co. (now Fulton Co.) GA in 1844. That's Atlanta now. Their children born in SC were Hannah Abernathy Burdett b 1817, Thomas D. Abernqthy b 1819 (m Elizabeth J. Martin), James N. Abernathy b 1823 (m Mary Townsend), and Elizabeth W. Abernathy Jet b 1826. I'm not sure if the next baby (Debby Ann Abernathy Goodwin b 1829) was b in SC or GA. Those b in GA were John LaFayette Abernathy b 1831 (m Carolyn Sentell), Rhoda Carolyn Abernathy Martin b 1834, Reuben W. Abernathy b 1834 (m Almeda Sentell), Samuel Davis Abernathy b 1836 (m Frances Brightwell), and Rosana Adeline Abernathy Cagle b 1836. Mary in TX

Posted on: Laurens Co. SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Laurens/10272 Surname: CHAPMAN, JACKSON, SUMMERS, WORHTINGTON, LYNCH, PRATHER, MARTIN ------------------------- Giles Chapman, Sr. was b in 1702 in England. He married Sarah Jackson. Their son Rev. Giles Chapman, Jr. was b in 1748 in VA. He married Mary Summers (1758-1813). In Newberry Co. SC, there is a Chapman-Summers Cemetery associated with a former church of the Dunker (or Dunkard) denomination (when one of their faith was baptized, he was immersed three times). Jeff Bedenbaugh ([email protected]) wrote that the old Dunker Cemetery (now known as the Chapman-Summers Cemetery) is quite accessible. "I visited there last May and it is well-kept." Jeff says it is located near the junction of Fire Tower Road [used to be part of the old Bush River Road (which led from Laurens Co. to Newberry Co. and went right by Bush River Baptist Church, which is still in existence)] and St. Luke's [Lutheran] Church Road. "The Dunker settlement was on Palmetto Branch (now known as Kinard's Branch). While the meetinghouse has long since disappeared, the cemetery is located on Fire Tower Road....Joseph Summers of VA was the leader of the group, and his son-in-law Giles Chapman began preaching in 1782. This congregation later becamne Universalists. Some family names listed are Chapman, Summers, Lynch, Prather, and Martin." In his HISTORY OF NEWBERRY COUNTY, Pope (p. 82) states that Joseph Summers was from Maryland, but that his son-in-law Rev. Giles Chapman (a saddler by trade) was b in VA. "In the early years, they practiced their rather unusual form of religion. Believing in immersion like the Baptists, they knelt in the wawter and were plunged three times under it while in that position. They neither shaved their faces nor their heads." A footnote refers to Deed Book U, p. 148, Newberry Co. clerk's office. "On Nov. 24, 1823, Daniel Morgan conveyed two and a helf acres to Joseph Summers, Samuel Sumemrs, Samuel Chapman, and Marmaduke Coate, Esq. Trustees of the Universalist Meeting House in Newberry District." I do not know if these Newberry CHAPMANs are related to your Laurens CHAPMANs, but I do know that the proximity was the same, and that both Newberry and Laurens were in the Old Ninety-Six District, right? Rev. Giles Chapman, Jr. and Mary Summers had a son Samuel Chapman (1797-1876) who married Elizabeth "Betsy" Worthington (1801-1880). Elizabeth was a daughter of John Worthington (1754-1827) and Elizabeth Davis (1765-1833). Samuel and Elizabeth had a son Samuel Robertson Chapman (1837-1869) who is buried at the Chapman-Summers Cemetery in Newberry Co. SC. Mary in TX

The Tree Climber is the quarterly newsletter of the Laurens District Chapter of the South Carolina Genealogical Society. It began in 1986. There is no complete index that I know of. I have my own index that is mainly names of people that I can connect with census records. This is probably around 5% of the names in Tree Climber. My index covers Volumes (years) 1-13. I unintentionally let my membership lapse for the last several years, so I don't have the recent Volumes. Richard Lorenz
Lucy Foster is listed on page 133, dwelling 352, age 70, in the 1880 census. In TreeClimber Vol 11 #3 page 54 there is a listing of an 1853 Equity Court Case, No. 5. Joel T. Foster, Lucinda Foster, G.W.Holland, Henry R. Metts and Lucretia Metts vs. William Fowler, Mary Ann Fowler, Addison P. Boyd, Louisa D. Boyd, John P. Holland, and Malinda M. Holland. I suspect that this case concerns the distribution of some Holland family property. Richard Lorenz
I do not have the enumeration district, but Clinton was in the Hunter Township section, pages 129 to 133. It includes dwelling numbers 1 through 357. (Each Township starts with a dwelling number 1). What person are you looking for? Richard Lorenz
Jean, As best I can tell, Clinton was in the Hunter Township (District 102) with a small portion overlapping into the Jack's Township (District 103). This is from the 1883 Kyzer & Hellams map of Laurens County. Someone else may have a better description.

Posted on: Laurens Co. SC Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/SC/Laurens/10261 Surname: Putman, Owens, Cathcart, Thomas ------------------------- Trying to piece together the family of William Presley Owens and Pernecie Paralee Putman. They were my gg-grandparents. Their daughter Lillie Lucinda Ma Owens married Richard Dixon Cathcart. Their son, Willis Owens Cathcart, Sr. was my grandfather. Lived in Abbeville and Laurens Counties of S.C. Info shows Paralee Putman was daughter of Daniel Putman and Lucinda Moore, granddaughter of Robertson Moore and Irene Keziah Garrett. I find conflicting info on William Presley Owens. All info shows Malinda Thomas and William Owens as parents. Malinda was daughter of Reuben Thomas and Lavinia Putman. My conflict is ** William Owens **. 1. LDS shows parents as William Owings and Mary Robertson, grandson of Richard Owings and Nancy Campbell. 2. Other info shows parents as Gideon Owens and Elizabeth Putman, grandson of Pressley Owens and Margaret Putman. Im inclined to believe #2 is correct due to the several Owens, Putman relations and the recurring use of the name, Pressley. Would appreciate any assistance. - Tim L. Cathcart [email protected]
