Al, Deed Book EE, p. 260 - this 300 acres is in Little River near the "Boundary House" on the line with NC. Off my head, this tract was sold to Wm. Waties and then to George Pawley. Deed Book Y, p. 276 - 500 ac. on Pee Dee called Wehaw. This tract is present day Springfield Plantation in Georgetown Co.located on the west side of the Pee Dee a few miles above the confluence of the Pee Dee and Black Rivers. The tract was granted to Wm. Kitchen and sold to the father of Anna Price and thus, inherited by her. Deed Book Q, p. 141 - 330 acres - this tract is in Little River very near to the first 300 ac. tract above. Deed Book DD, p. 146 - 350 ac. Cold Bear Swamp - this tract is located on the west side of the Waccamaw just south of present day Conway in Horry Co on Bear Swamp on the edge of the city limits. Deed Book AA, p. 294 - 300 ac. on SE side of Waccamaw- this tract is located on the east side of the Waccamaw in Horry Co. near present day Wortham's Ferry a few miles below the NC state line. I hope this helps. Deryl

Price Family Data * * These are excerpts from books I found at the D.A.R. Library (I believe) in DC. I failed to copy the front page of the books ( they were getting ready to close) but will try to get that done on my next trip. Most of the entries put William Price in Prince George Parish except the 1743 entry list Prince Frederick Parish. The Wacamaw and Little Rivers would put him in Horry Co but I’m not sure about the other entries, maybe Williamsburg or Marion, but I don’t recognize other surnames in the entries. Maybe someone else more familiar with the other families, and geography, can shed some light on these items. I hope to get back to DC next week.

William J. Parker, ( born around 1820 ), married Nancy Blackburn, ( born around 1825 ). They had George, Julia, Isabella, Elizabeth, Margaret, James D., Bryant, S. C., S. J., and John H. Parker. William and Nancy were listed in the 1850-1870 Bladen Co., N. C. census, but in 1880 they were in Robeson Co., N. C. I don't know what happened to them after that, but some of their children were in Marion Co., S. C. by 1900. Does any one know who the parents of William J. Parker and his wife, Nancy Blackburn, were? Does anyone happen to know when and where William and Nancy died, and where they were buried? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Christie

Does anyone know when he really died or if he married someone other than Elizabeth ALSTON? Could it have been a sound-alike (i.e. ALISON/ALLISON/OTHER?) My SURNAMES ARE CRAWFORD, Mary TART, Henry BERRY, Charity (CRAWFORD) BERRY, JOHN MACE & dau Mary MACE, FINKLEA. I do have a copy of Sellers' HISTORY OF MARION COUNTY...' but am interested in any stories/facts/documents in the mid-to-late 1700s. Glad to exchange information. Winkie CRAWFORD Robinson
