Hi All, I just want to drop a line and let you all know what fine people you have in that area. I just spent a week up in that area and met some of the people that help on these list and at the Marion Archives. I got to meet Maxey Foxworth and Jo Church Dickerson at the archives and they are a great help to visitors that stop by there snooping for old dead folks. I also got to meet Helen Carmichael that is kind enough to post all the obits to the list. I was hunting one of the older homes and went by Helen's house but she wasn't home so I left a card in her door. By the time I got back to the motel she had sent me a E-mail and left a telephone message trying to contact me. I called her and she was kind enough to come and go with me and my wife to eat and then try to get me some leads for the next day. I think we all had a good time. Jo and Maxey helped me dig up stuff in the archives where they have the original deed books for Marion County. I just wanted to let everyone know what fine people you were dealing with and my thanks to all. Bob Campbell Birmingham, AL

It is my understanding the Marion County Gen Soc is going to reprint. Some one else may know more about this than I. Helen

Hello List, I would appreciate any help that can be provided on any of the names below and I will be glad to share info. I checked the Cedardale Cemetery on this cemetery site with no luck on the Proctor name. Does anyone have a listing or a book that covers that cemetery? I am looking for my great grandparents Marion Watts Proctor and Amanda "Mandie" Victoria (Shuler) Proctor, both are buried there. I am not sure how her name is listed on the tombstone, it may just be Mandie Proctor. Marion Watts Proctor was born October 05, 1852, in Marion, Marion Country, South Carolina, son of Thomas Asbury Proctor and Emaline Campbell. He died in Marion County, South Carolina. The Reverend Simeon Campbell recorded Marion's death in his Diary on 5 May 1908. Their daughter Tommie, my grandmother, was born July 25, 1898. She said she was 12 years old when her father died. I don't know if she meant at his death of just after his death when she turned 12 in July. That could make it around 1910 if after. I need to verify which death date is correct. "A History Of Marion County, South Carolina" by W. W. Sellers, Esq., Pg. 488: "Of the sons of Thomas A. Proctor, Marion, the oldest married a Miss Shuler of Orangeburg County, and has a large family; don't know their names." Amanda "Mandie" Victoria (Shuler) Proctor born 1856 or 1857 in Orangeburg District, South Carolina, parents are unknown, father might be John Shuler b. abt. 1822. She died December 22, 1934, in Marion County, South Carolina. I need her birth date and to verify if death date is correct. Amanda married Marion Watts Proctor August 20, 1874, in Orangeburg District, South Carolina (Source: SC Baptist Newspaper, Married by Rev. D. W. Cuttino at the residence of the bride's father). For the Rogers researchers: Marion and "Mandie" had two boys and six girls. Five of the girls married Rogers, two were brothers, Quince Camer Rogers and Sydnie Rogers. I have the other Roger names if anyone is interested. The only one to not marry a Rogers was my grandmother, Tommie Eleanor Proctor, (she has be mistaken for a male on the census reports by others because it was listed as Tommie E.) She married Rufus Rudolph Brown, son of William Kelly Brown and Georgeanna Barnhill, Horry Co., South Carolina. All ten of Rufus and Tommie Brown's children were born in Marion, including my mother. Thanks in advance to all that can help. I definitely have more questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Barbara Vestal Byrd

Thank you. I do love to read Jo's answers. Sandy

In reply to Al Munden: It is difficult to describe where people lived. Much easier to show someone in person. In the case of the Elvingtons, there were two easily identifiable "sets" residing in two distinctly different areas near Lake View. One group being descendants of Jesse Elvington, the other descendants of old John Elvington. The lands of John Elvington were near Kemper Community. Sellers said John resided on the road from Gaddy's Mills to Nichols. That is current Rabbit Island Road, and John Elvington had several land grants in that area, including lands that now are part of my own farm. Several of John's children are buried in the Meares Family Cemetery, which is located on Rabbit Island Road, leading me to believe that perhaps John Elvington is buried there, as well. John's descendants still reside on many of those lands, including on the Meares family lands, which bound former lands of Writ Barfield. The lands on which Barrett "Writ" Barfield, Junior resided were also in Kemper Community, actually between Kemper and Cooktown. His lands in that area bounded on some lands that John Elvington had been granted and/or purchased - lands that adjoined John's other lands along Rabbit Island Road to the west. These lands of John Elvington are currently owned by the Meares family, who also descend from old John Elvington, John's granddaughter Sallie Elvington (Owen Elvington's daughter) having married James Meares. Those are the lands (Writ's homesite) where Writ is buried, and his homesite was pointed out to me several years ago by his great granddaughter, Vida Caroline Cook. Barrett's son, Robert Tally Barfield with his unmarried sister, Susan Barfield, resided at the homesite until his death. The old house described by Vida is long gone, but the site is still referred to by some oldtimers as "the Tally Place." The Writ or Tally Barfield farm bounded (to the east and northeast) on lands presently owned by descendants of William W. Barfield, also a son of Writ. William's wife was, of course, Maranda Percival Price, daughter of James S. Price. I found the series of deeds last week wherein William Barfield transferred those lands to his son, Willie Barfield (known by people I have interviewed as Mr. Will Barfield), who resided on the lands he had from his father William. So far I have been unable to learn where William, son of Writ, resided. Possibly of interest to some Price researchers, I also found the deeds wherein William Barfield purchased those lands, some through the sons of James S. Price, and some directly from James S. Price himself. They were referred to as the lands where James S. Price resided. So William W. Barfield purchased the lands of his father-in-law, James S. Price, and William later sold those lands to his son, Willie or Will Barfield for $5.00. And I went to school with the grandchildren of Mr. Will Barfield, know from my father where Mr. Will had resided, and thus know exactly where his lands were, just a mile or so from my own home. (Hayes researchers may be interested to know that this is the Will Barfield who was married to Millie Hayes, daughter of Daniel Shaw Hayes, who was a son of William H. Hayes.) All of which nicely (and finally) solved the puzzle of where the lands of James S. Price were located. Unfortunately, there is no deed recorded wherein James S. Price purchased those lands. It is possible he purchased them from some of the Barfields, as they bound on the Writ and Tally homeplace. In fact, my assumption had always been that those lands of Mr. Will Barfield, son of William W. Barfield, were probably part of Writ's lands. I had spent a good bit of time trying to figure out where the lands of James S. Price were, other deeds and census indicating that he was in that area, but not until I found the deeds last week did I realize James Price's lands were the same as Mr. Will Barfield's lands. The lands of Jesse Elvington were in the area of the Elvington / Barfield Cemetery on Nobles Road, and ran from there toward Lake View, as well as across to the northeast side of Bear Swamp. According to Sellers, Jesse lived on Bear Swamp, and the Elvington / Barfield Cemetery is on the first rise coming up off Bear Swamp on Nobles Road, on the southwest side of the swamp. I have always been somewhat mystified by the fact that William W. Barfield was buried at the Elvington / Barfield Cemetery on Nobles Road, with descendants of Jesse Elvington, some few miles distant from William's Barfield family lands in Kemper Community. Also, as the deed I quoted in the last message indicates, surprised to learn just last week that William Barfield owned some lands located in that area, bounding on descendants of Jesse Elvington. While this is somewhat "near" (within a few miles of) William's other lands that bounded on the lands of his father Writ Barfield, and near lands of John Elvington, it is far enough away to be somewhat surprising. It leads me to wonder if William and/or his wife Percy Price descended somehow from Jesse Elviington and inherited those lands, or if perhaps one of William's children married into the Jesse Elvington family. Perhaps this map link will be helpful. http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=17&n=3800363&e=665526&s=25&size=l The Elvington Cemetery shown at the top of the screen just south of Bear Swamp is the Elvington / Barfield Cemetery where William W. Barfield is buried. Also note what is called the Rozier Cemetery near the town of Lake View, just south of Page's Millpond. This is an error on the mapmaker's part. This cemetery has nothing to do with Roziers, but is actually the Carey Elvington Cemetery. Carey was also a descendant of Jesse Barfield. The real Rozier Cemetery is shown on the map as "Elvington Cemetery." It is located just off Old Kemper Road, a little southwest of the town of Lake View, on lands that were in the Rozier family for years, and have descended to the Bryant family through marriage. The Writ Barfield Cemetery is the one shown with no family name, near the center bottom of the map between the Cook Family Cemetery and Herod's (Hard's) Branch, just to the east of the branch. John Elvington's lands lay to the west, northwest, and southwest of Writ's lands and covered a very large area, extending well beyond the lower left part of the map. The Writ homeplace, or "the Tally Place" was the land around the cemetery. The lands that James S. Price resided on were just to the east and northeast of the Tally Place, right around the roads that intersect near the cemetery, that is, the road running west from the Cook Cemetery (Cooktown Road) and the road running south from Hwy 41 (Grain Bin Road). The other Elvington Cemetery shown on this map just off Hwy 41 is referred to locally as the "Chad Elvington Cemetery." It is on lands that were owned by Levi Elvington, whose father is not proven, but is suspected to have been John Elvington. Levi's widow, Mary Hayes Elvington Mears is buried here, along with many of Levi's descendants. The Meares Family Cemetery is located on the road running south from High Hill (Rabbit Hill Road), just below the lower border of the map. The William H. Hayes Cemetery (Parker Barfield Cemetery in the Dillon Cemetery Book) is located just southwest of Kemper, off the road from High Hill. Parkey Barfield's brother, Jasper Barfield, married one of the younger daughters of William H. Hayes by William's third marriage to Nancy Elvington. Perhaps that has some relation to why Parkey was buried here, or perhaps it was a connection through one of his wives. My farm, by the way, is exactly at the bottom center of the page, on lands that were granted to John Elvington, and to Joshua Barfield. The Brewer / Church Cemetery where my 2nd great grandmother, Celia Brewer Church is buried is also located on Herod's Branc - on the western prong of Herod's, just north of where it joins the eastern prong that the Writ Cemetery is located on, and almost due west of the Writ Cemetery. The Brewer Cemetery is not shown on the map at all. I would be happy to take you (or anyone) on a tour of these places. I would also be delighted if anyone lets me know of any errors I might have made in any of the above. I do tend to make them when I do this stuff on the fly.... Jo Church Dickerson

In reply to Al Munden, You are absolutely correct, Al. Parkey Barfield is not buried at the Elvington/Barfield Cemetery on Nobles Road. Rather, his first wife Artie is buried there. Parkey is buried at the William H. Hayes Cemetery (called the Parker Barfield Cemetery in the Dillon Cemetery Book), just off Hwy #41 in Kemper Community. He is buried with his apparent second and third wives, Olie Sparkman and Flossie Sanderson. Dumb mistake on my part, and I regret any confusion my misstatement may have caused. I don't have any information on William Barfield's daughter Minnie, except what I found in the deed and sent to the list. I would suppose that Minnie, like Lewis Gordon, was probably a younger child, born after the 1880 census. I will address your comments about locations in the next message.

Someone, and I cannot remember who, or even if it was someone on the Marion List, raised a question about the identity of Lewis Gordon Barfield, who is buried at the Elvington / Barfield Cemetery on Nobles Road just off Hwy #9 near Lake View. Also buried there are William W. Barfield (who was a son of Barrett "Writ" Barfield, Jr.) and William's wife, Percy Price Barfield, daughter of James S. Price. Also buried in this cemetery is Parkey Barfield. Parkey Barfield has long been established as a son of this William Barfield. I just found the following deed at the Marion Archives last week. It almost certainly refers to the same man, Lewis Gordon Barfield, who is buried at the Elvington Cemetery. It probably establishes his parents as William and Maranda Percival "Percy" Price Barfield. (Percy's tombstone shows her name as Amanda P. Barfield, but census records and her death certificate indicate that her name was Maranda Percival.) It is still a mystery why William and his wife Percy are buried at what appears, in all other regards, to be an old Elvington Family Cemetery. It is several miles from other lands owned by William, by his brothers, and his father Writ's homesite. Also distant from lands owned by Percy's father, James S. Price. It seems to be on lands once owned by old Jesse Elvington, possibly near his homesite, and certainly the Elvingtons buried here were descendants of Jesse Elvington.

Dear List, Would be interested to know if anyone knows anything about John s/o John CRAWFORD, who died before 1761? I had hoped publishing the will of John, written 1756 and probated 1761, might bring some results. It was such a revelation to me to have a copy from a record in Charleston , SC, filmed by the LDS Family History Center. Hope it helps. Any help will be appreciated. Searching as Always, Winkie CRAWFORD R P.S. Couldn't get away without wondering if this John CRAWFORD might be a great, great, grandfather of MAHALALEEL Crawford?
