Rose, have you tried the Find A Grave web site? I found Princeton Baptist Cem. listed by Lesley Hughes (cltj@prtcnet.com). Your Annie Monroe Collins and John Morton Collins are both listed. Also your Capt. A. J. Monroe and Nancy Ann Monroe are listed, along with other Bagwells and Monroes. Then you might try RAOGK and get someone to take photos of the markers. Good luck, Rose Miller millerrk28@verizon.net Does anyone have a cemetery listing for Collins family members buried at Princeton Baptist Cemetery in Princeton, Laurens County, SC? I believe John Morton Collins (1873-1946) and his wife Annie Monroe Collins (b 1880 - died aft 1930) are buried there. Annie's parents were Nancy Ann Bagwell Monroe and Capt. A.J. Monroe (1824-1893). Annie M. Collins, her husband John M. Collins and their several children (Annie, George, John, Frank, Robert, James, Margaret, Augustus) had been living in Abbeville County, SC in the 1920's. I'm trying to find information listed on the tombstones for John M. and Annie M. Collins. Also I'm trying to learn more about the listed children. Can anyone help? Rose C.

The earliest census records that I have in my notes for Monroes near Princeton are Wm. F. and A. J. in the 1870 census. If anyone has earlier census records for them please give me the year, page number, and dwelling number for them. They must have been there before 1870 because of a few deed records. Deed Book Q, page 109, has Thos. Carter selling 289 acres on the Saluda River to Eliz. and W. F. Monroe. Land located below Smith Bridge. Borders Benj. Gaines. Deed Q-297, 1858, has W. A. French selling 118 acres on ? Saluda to A. J. Patterson (2 acres near old bridge being John Smith's hereby reserved to him). Borders Hulet Ingles, P? J. Arnold, J. M. Eppes, and Munroe. Deed Q-223, 1859 ? has A. J. Patterson mortgaging 118 acres to W. A. French. Borders Munroe ?, J. M. Eppes, J. J. Arnold, Hutch Taylor, and the Saluda River. Deed Q-275, 1860, has W. F. Munroe mortgaging 412 acres on Reedy River to G. M. Mattison. Granted James H. Shaw 1856. Grant book 89, p. 248. (Is this the Monroe Shoals land ? --RAL) -----Original Message ----- From: "Rose Lowther" <Rose@circusware.com> To: <sclauren@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 14, 2006 7:05 AM Subject: Re: [SCLAUREN] Princeton Baptist Cemetery > Rose, have you tried the Find A Grave web site?
