When researching my Robertson family in Pine Apple last year, I found the book, "Abstracts of Early Records of Laurens County South Carolina, 1785-1820." Using the index provided in the book, I found these records which I think refer to my ancestors, Nathaniel Robertson, William Robertson, Francis Robertson and Amanda Blakely Robertson. Nathaniel Robertson married Amanda Blakely in the area that is Laurens County, S. Carolina, and they had at least two sons, William and Francis. I am also very interested in the Daniel Wright,. who served as J.P., during the time these records were signed. I would like to know if this Daniel Wright eventually moved to Monroe County, Alabama. I live too far from South Carolina to research the actual records and have had miserable luck with hiring a professional genealogist, so I hope someone reading this will find names related to their ancestors and will write to me. I am deeply grateful for any help. Freda Roberson Noble, Gualala California From Book C-1: 355-112/19/1808 Sale of Wm Doraoh (/) estate. Names John Blakely, Wm Roberson, Nathaniel Roberson.

My census notes show a Nathanial Robinson in the 1810 census, age 26-45. In those days Robinson and Robertson were essentially interchangeable in the census records. He lived very roughly 3 miles southwest of Waterloo, I believe. This location is in the opposite end of the county from Warrior Creek. The Union County Land Grant maps show both a John and a Wm. Robertson with land grants near Drury Smith, all around the 1790s. There is a Wm. Dorroh in the 1800 census living in still another location in the county. No Robertsons lived near this location in either 1800 or 1810 as far as I can tell. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Freda Noble" <tnoble@mcn.org> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2006 9:00 PM Subject: [SCLAUREN] Robertson/Roberson/Robinson and Blakely > When researching my Robertson family in Pine Apple last year, I found the > book, "Abstracts of Early Records of Laurens County South Carolina, > 1785-1820."
