You probably have this, but the Treeclimber Vol. 7, No. 1, page 3, lists the children of Lewis Saxon. 14 children listed. Includes short article about Lewis. I have several deeds in my notes that mention Charles Saxon, and 2 that mention "heirs of Charles Saxon", but no names of his heirs. ----- Original Message ----- From: <ronhead@knology.net> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 21, 2006 11:01 PM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Look-up at Laurens County Library > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: SAXON, PIERCE, WOLFF > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YeB.2ACI/557 > > Message Board Post: > > Charles SAXON died in Laurens on 14 Jan 1831 at the age of forty.

The following are some deeds that mention the property of Charles Saxon. Deed Book M, page 7, 1827, Charles Saxon sells 333 acres in Rabun Cr. watershed to Dr. Wm. Irby. Two parcels. 1/ 289 acres, partition of his father's land on plat as Tract No. 2. 2/ 44 acres, Tract No. 3. borders James Lowry ?, Thomas Johnson. (The plat is not included in the record). Deed M-151, 1830, (may be the same as the above land or a nearby tract). Wm. F. Downs sells 169 acres in Rabun watershed to Sam Saxon. Converted within by Charles Saxon to said Downs. Plat included that shows bordering property owners Wm. Irby and Wm. Johnson. Deed M-152, 1830, Sam Saxon and wife Oney sell 169 acres to Hugh Saxon. "Part of my father's old tract converted by Charles Saxon to W. F. Downs to Sam Saxon. Deed N-153, 1835, James Johnson sells 130 acres to Wm. Wilson. Borders Chas. Paxon / Saxon, Morgan's, Johnson. (I do not have any Paxon person in any of my notes, so I believe that "Saxon" is the correct name for Chas.). Deed N-54, 1834, Richard F. Simson sells 1/2 acre lot in Laurens to John Garlington. "Square to east, Chas. Saxon deceased, being the lot formerly owned by my father on which is my store and office, also stable lot". Deed N-53, 1834, John Garlington and wife Susan w. sell 1/2 acre lot in Laurens to John S. James. Corner lot, Square to east, road to Greenville, heirs of Charles Saxon. ----Richard F. Simpson and previously by his father Col. John Simpson ----- lots of Sam Todd and Harvey Cleveland. In Deed N-230,1838, the above lot was sold to J. H. Irby. 1/2 acre borders square on east, Greenville ____ on south, Jail Street on west, David / Davis Hill on north (possibly "Davis and Hill ??"). I hope to pass on some comments about the location of the Charles Saxon land later. Richard Lorenz ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard A.

It might be interesting that two names mentioned on your Saxon message connect (?) Joseph Irby Sr. , Joseph Irby Jr. (his son), and Greaf Irby (Joseph's nephew?...most likely) who were all killed at the Massacre at Hayes Station near the Laurens Newberry border in 1781. Yancy Saxon was also killed there. William Irby was the son of Joseph Irby Sr. and they lived in Newberry Co. William later moved to Lauren's county. James H. Irby was William's son and Joseph's grandson. Linda Graves ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard A.

Deed Book P, page 17, no date on the deed, but registered at the courthouse in 1845. Arnold Milner and Isabella Saxon marriage contract. 400 acres where she resided was transferred to her son Lewis Saxon. Property bordered Willis Wallace, H. Saxon, Wm. Simpson, Stephen Franks, Lewis Saxon, Wm. Henderson, and Hellen ? Goodgion. No location for the property was given. My guess is that it was on Lick Creek, an easterly tributary of North Rabun. The 1820 / 1825 map shows "Saxon" at approximately this location. Does anyone know who Isabella's first husband was, and does anyone know for sure where the above property was located?
