Here is a deed that you probably already have. In my opinion it should help to fill out the family situation at the time. For example, it looks like there were 4 heirs, and that Roda owned at least 3 different parcels of land. Deed Book Y, page 229, 1883 has a Rhoda Kennedy estate survey of Tract #3, 449 acres "to make 4 tracts of 110 1/2 acres each". I know that this does not add up, but it is what I have entered in my notebook. A plat is included that shows N. D. Kennedy on the south side, and J. O. Fleming on the east. The tract is mostly on the west side a road (which I'm sure is the road from Poplar Springs church to Laurens). The northern boundary direction is North 84 1/2 degrees East. I did not copy down any other information. When I drew this tract on my modern topographical map I located it 1 mile south of Poplar Springs Ch. The 1883 Laurens Co. map shows J. O. C. Fleming about 1 mile below Pop. Spr., and "Kennedy's est." about 1.5 miles below Pop. Spr. Ch. M. O. Kennedy is shown almost 3 miles below Pop. Spr. Ch. on the west side of the road. I am curious to know if the number of heirs and number of properties matches up with your knowledge of the family. Thanks, Richard Lorenz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard A.

I failed to include the location "Dunlap Creek of Rabun" in Deed O-105. I have never seen Dunlap Cr. labeled on a map, but I believe that it flowed from Highland Home down to Mountain Cr. Mountain Cr. is a tributary of North Rabun Cr. What I think of as Dunlap Cr. could also be described as the south branch of Mountain Cr. The Gray and Thomasson properties would be about a mile up Dunlap from Mountain Cr., as my best guess. That would be about 2 1/2 mile west of Barksdale. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia Cantrell" <pacant1104@yahoo.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 10:29 AM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Re: Gary/Kennedy Deed - Thomasson's > Hi! > Can anyone tell me where in Laurens County this land is located?

Hi! Can anyone tell me where in Laurens County this land is located? I descend from Robert Thomasson through his daughter, Sarah "Sallie" Thomasson, who married Martin Gantt.

Hi Richard, Thanks for the deed info, I added it to the page. I think Leannah was literate and probably good with money. I have a book that she probably owned, "Bookkeeping in the True Italian Form of Debtor and Creditor By Way Of Double Entry" p. 1785. I think she owned the book because it has several slips of paper stuffed in the book with her name on it. One is for the sale of salt, another is a receipt for payment of a "public poor tax" in 1831 - $18.97 1/2 I don't know if any of Leannah's daughters married into the Garys, but her great-granddaughter married a Gary descendant.

What road are they talking about in the following deeds? I want to locate this property, and knowing what road it is on will help a lot. Deed Book S, page 632, 1868. John D. Williams sold a lot, Laurens, 92 and 3/100 acres, on road to Abbeville, to Wm. Mills. Bordered southeast and east by Mrs. H. Irby, north and northwest by Bennett Wallace, and east by Robert Sieb ?? (Siebert ???). Land purchased by me at sale of real estate of late Col. J. H. Irby. Same property with a deed on same page as above, 1872, 92 and 3/100 acres, near Laurens on road to Abbeville. Sold by Wm. Mills to Wm. H. Garrett. Bordered southeast and south by Mrs. H. Irby, north and northwest by Bennett Wallace, east by Samuel R. Todd, and west by road. Both deeds mention "3 plats", which I presume means that the 92+ acres was made up from 3 smaller tracts. My guess is that the "Abbeville" road is the road that goes past Chestnut Ridge and Zion Churches. Anyone else have an opinion?

I would like to know where any of the following pieces of property were located. As an aid in understanding some of the property transfers, Jane Todd Presseau reported the following in Treeclimber 7-1-3. Samuel A. Todd married Margaret R. Adkinson, daughter of John Adkinson. John died Oct. 18, 1822, and Samuel and Margaret received 425 acres from his estate. (The only census record that I have for John is 1820 at age 45+). (Banks Creek is a tributary of Saluda, located south of Cross Hill). Deed Book M, page 36, 1828, has Fanny Smith selling 124 acres in the Banks Cr. watershed to Turner Richardson. Bordered John Cook, Mary Deale, Thos. Hitt, Ann Owens, and heirs of John Atkinson. Deed N-17, 1831, has James Wright and wife Frances H. mortgaging 249 1/2 acres, Banks Cr., to John Black, merchant. Bordered Mrs. widow Hitt, John Cook, Dan Crocker / Eachee, Thos. Turner, John Adkinson, and Thos. Hitt. Deed M-111, 1829, has Sam Adkeson selling 468 acres to John Chappell. Known as the Adkison Tract. Bordered Sam Todd, Travis Hill, and Thos. Hitt. Deed N-224, 1837, has Samuel and wife Margaret R. Todd selling 468 acres to George Adams. Bordered north by Moses C. ???, Abner Hitts, and R. M. Owens, west by Thos. Hitts and Daniel Cox, and south by Thos. Turner and N. Todd. Bordereing property owners are repeated as follows. Travis Hill, John Hitt, James Wright, John Armstrong, Nathan Proctor, and Chas. Eagerton. "Formerly John Meek and John Adkinson". There is a plat (survey) shown as Deed N-124, 1813, requested by heirs of John Meek, deceased. It is for 468 acres in the Banks Cr. watershed. Bordered by R. M. Owens on the northeast, Abner Hitt on the northeast, Wm. Starnes on the east, N. Todd and Thos. Turner on the south. Deed N-222, 1837, has Geo. Adams of Newberry Co. selling 468 acre to Travis Hill (Smith and Banks Creeks). Bordered Travis Hill, John Hill, James Wright, John Armstrong, Nathan T. Proctor, and Chas. Eagerton. Formerly John Meeks and John Adkinson. (I am puzzled about whether there were 1 or 2 different tracts of 468 acres owned by the Adkinson family). Deed N-121, 1833, has Fielding Turner estate selling 118 3/4 acres to John Chapman. A plat is shown, with John Adkinson and James Wright on the west, Elihu Watson on the northeast, David Cureton on the east, and Dan Foshee on the southeast. This same property was later sold as Deed N-118, 1834, to John Armstrong. If anyone can locate any of these properties, please let me know. I am not certain that I transcribed the Hitt and Hill names correctly. Richard Lorenz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard A.

(A note given to me by a reliable genealogist says that Jesse Entrekin died in 1848. Petition for settlement of the estate was filed after the death of his wife, Mary A. Entrekin). Based on the 1840 census for Jesse Entrekin, it would put John Entrekin, heir #6 above, as being born between 1825 and 1830, as I interpret the census.

Jesse Gallagy is in the 1840 census, 30-40 years old, with 2 females in the 40-50 age range. There is also a Jesse in the 1850 census, but I do not have any details of who lived with him. Age 44 in 1850. I believe that he lived in or near Joanna, possibly closer to Hopewell Church in 1840, but I am not certain. Deed Book Q, page 242, no date in my notes but recorded in 1859 has Jesse Galigly transferring his interest in 128 acres in the Bush River watershed to James C. and E. F. Galigly. Bordered Mrs. Vance, Ephraim Dalrymple, and Rev. E. Lindsay. Witnesses Newton Campbell and Jefferson L. Motes. I believe that this property is somewhere between Joanna and Hopewell Church. James C. Gallagy and wife Mary A. are in the 1860 and 1870 censuses living in the vicinity of Hopewell Ch., I believe. Mrs. Mary Gallegly is listed as a bordering property owner in Deeds V-508 and V-509, 1879. These tracts are about 3 miles due south of Joanna, I believe. There is a Sarah Gallagy in the 1830 census, age 50-60. She could have been living on or near the above Mary Gallegly property. There were other Gallegys living in Laurens Co. before 1830. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mary23meyer@gmail.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, May 14, 2006 12:13 AM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Jesse Laurence Gallaghy b 1804 > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: GALLAGHY, ABERNATHY > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YeB.2ACI/563 > > Message Board Post: > > I would like to know more about Jesse Laurence Gallaghy b 1804 in Laurens > Co.

This Robert owned the "Cunningham Plantation" that was established in the late 1700s. He married Louisa Bird, daughter of Wm. Bird, with no indian connection that I know of. Their daughter was Ann Pamela Cunningham who organized the "Mount Vernon Ladies Society of the Union" which raised money and bought George Washington's Mount Vernon estate. That organization still owns, operates, and continues the restoration of Mount Vernon. The "Rosemont Plantation" (the Cunningham Plantation) by Christy Snipes, 1992, provides an excellent summary of the history of this Cunningham family and their plantation. The struggle that Ann Pamela Cunningham had, after the Civil War, to keep both her family plantation and the Mount Vernon project going, is very interesting. There was at least one other Cunningham family located further north in Laurens County. ----- Original Message ----- From: JanGulick@aol.com To: ralorenz@comcast.net ; SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2006 10:44 AM Subject: Re: [SCLAUREN] Two other Puckett /Pinson property records Would anyone know if this R.
