Spivey, "A Genealogical History of Lexington, SC, 1735-1870": Barbara Caughman was the daughter of Andrew Caughman, b. ~1762, d. aft 1830, and Anna Maria Derrick. Her siblings were John (b. 1789), Jemima, Emanuel (1802-1881), Daniel (b. 1800), Jacob (1796-1860), Catherine/Kate and Elizabeth/Bettie. Sister Elizabeth married Acel Roberts, brother of Noah and of Absalom (who married Barbara). From Brent H. Holcomb, Petitions for Land from the South Carolina Council Journals, Volume I: 1734/5-1748: Meeting of Wednesday the 22d of Jan'ry 1745/6: Read the Petition of Anthony Caufman, a protestant pallatine, humbly shewing That the Petit'r came a few years ago into this Province on the Encouragement which is given by his Majesty to foreign protestants and being then not able to pay for his passage, he was obliged to serve Collonel Vanderdussen in order to discharge the same, being now free & having 4 persons in family, viz't himself Wife & two children, for whom he has received no land, humbly prays that a Warrant be issued for laying out to him 200 acres of vacant land in SaxGotha Township, and that he may obtain the usual Bounty. The Petit'r appearing Swearing...the prayer thereof was granted... Anthony Kauffman's plat for 200 acres on Savannah Hunt Creek (off the Congaree River) was laid out on 20 Oct 1746, granted 20 May 1747. Andrew Caughman was "possibly" a son of Anthony, more likely his grandson through one of the two children who arrived with Anthony before 1745. The Revolutionary War claim for Barbara's father Andrew Kofman can be ordered from SCDAH--it's file No. 4375. His brother Christopher is file No. 4376, "Stophel Kofman". But you wouldn't want to look into Christopher's war record too closely! He lived on Hollow Creek, near the NW corner of Lexington Co, attended the nearby Lutheran church of Mt. Zion on Twelve Mile Creek in 1800. Theresa M. Hicks, in "Saxe Gotha Neighbors" (Columbia SC: Peppercorn Publications, Inc., 2000) includes a war story about the actions of a "Rank Tory" named Caughman, captured at a skirmish on Hollow Creek.

Surnames: Sturkie, Goodwin, Spires and others Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AgB.2ACI/1131.1 Message Board Post: That's a lot of names, but since there's a Lexington County connection I recognize all of them. But we're in luck here, I would hazard an educated guess that Z.A.W. Sturkie is Zedekiah Andrew Washington Sturkie of Lexington County, b. 11 Oct 1841 - d. 21 Dec 1883. He had a brother Daniel, as well as a son Daniel. My list of surnames is of those who are connected somehow to my LUCAS families but none of the names specified are on my lists. Many Goodwins and Spires during ZAW's years, but none I can help with. The name is Sturkie, often spelled Sturkey, and I'd say that Surkey is just an instance of poor spelling. Hope this little bit helps.

I have a 1930's era photograph of a train believed to be one used during the construction of Lake Murray. My Great-Grandfather was a railroad foreman during the building of the lake, and this photo came from one of my late grandmother's photo albums. My grandfather also worked on the construction of the lake. The only other possibilities for this company is either Tennessee (around White Co.) or Alabama (near Montgomery).

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AgB.2ACI/1144.2 Message Board Post: The Chalk Hill precinct was (and is) around Gaston SC, so somebody living there would be your best source about the exact locations. The Chalk Hill plantation was the residence of William Geiger (~1754-1829) and his wife Mary Ann Kaigler Kersch (~1754-1837, widow of Godfrey Kersh). The plantation was on Dry Creek. Since almost every county had at least one "Dry Creek", that doesn't narrow it down very much. But somebody who currently lives there should be able to tell you where it was. A lot of Orangeburgh District residents who were in Lexington Co just after the Rev War got re-assigned to Calhoun Co later, so you'd want to look for their records there as well. But Gaston was/is definitely in Lexington Co, so that's where to look for Chalk Hill records.

How can I find out if my greatgrandmother lived there in 1860? Her name was Mary Cunningham, and a Columbia record of 1890 says that she moved back to Columbia from Chalk Hill about 1862. I don't know whether the reference is to a Chalk Hill in Lexington County or not. I was told that there is a voting precinct by that name in Lexington County, but did it exist back then and, if so, where is it? Thanks for your help. CEC
