If anyone in the Marlboro County area could help me I would so much appreciate it. I just received news that My cousin passed away yesterday. Regrettably since I am in Hawaii and cannot make it to the funeral I would like to have a copy of her obituary for my family bible. Her name would be Debra Sanderson or Newton age 45.

Here is another long time Chesterfield Rosco family that I have been unable to connect with any of the other Roscoe or Rascoe families. Perhaps some of you genealogical detectives can give me a hand with this mystery. In the 1870 Census of Chesterfield County, Cheraw township, written page 15, Stamped page 256, Dwelling 117, family 122: S. Stanbon 60 F. W. M. Rosco 30 F. W. Laborer SC J. Rosco 35 M. W. SC M. J. Rosco 13 F. W. SC E. Rosco 11 F. W. SC D. Rosco 07 M. W. SC M. A. Rosco 04 F. W. SC M. Rosco 01 F. W. SC Note: the 1880 census gives the names of these Rosco family members. I suspect that S. Stanbon is the widowed mother of M. Rosco (Martha). The 1880 census of Chesterfield County, Cheraw Township, written page 2, dwelling 151, family 153 list the above family as follows: John Rosco W. M. 46 head farming SC Martha Rosco W. F. 43 wife SC Jane Rosco W. F. 21 dau. SC Ella Rosco W.F. 16 dau SC Anna Rosco W.F. 15 dau SC Mary E. Rosco W.F. 07 dau SC Carrie Rosco W.F. 05 dau SC Note the son "D" Rosco listed in 1870 has apparently died or moved out of his parents home. The 1900 census of Chesterfield County, Cheraw Township, ED # 17, sheet #20 Dwelling # 365, family # 365 list this family as follows: John Roscoe Head W.M. Nov. 1833 66 Md. 45yrs SC SC SC Farm Martha Roscoe wife W.F. --- ------ 62 Md 45yrs 8/4 SC SC SC Monroe Roscoe gs W.M. May 1891 09 S. SC SC SC This family does not appear on later censuses of Chesterfield County. At the same time that this John Rosco first shows up on the 1870 census there was two other John Rascoe families living in Marlboro County, Brightville Community, Bennettville Post Office as follows: written page 20, stamped page 331, dwelling and family number 171 John Rascoe 38 M.B. Farm Laborer SC Martha Rascoe 34 F.W. Keeping House SC J. S. Rascoe 13 M.W. Farm Laborer SC Lucy Rascoe 09 F. W. At Home SC Note I question the correctness of the race shown for John. I don't believe a white female and two white children would have been residents of a household headed my a Black man in South Carolina in 1870 let alone the wife and children of a Black man. It is more likely that John was a very dark complected man and was mis-classified by the census taker. The other 1870 Marlboro County Household, page 352, dwelling # 242, family # 243 John Rascoe 34 M. Mu Farm Laborer SC Mollie Rascoe 30 F. Mu SC Verona Rascoe 12 F. Mu SC Sarah Rascoe 08 F. Mu SC Della Rascoe 04 F. Mu SC Washington Rascoe 01 M. Mu SC One or the other of these John Rascoe/Rosco/Roscoe is probably the son on a John Roscoe who was born about 1796 in Marlboro County and married Lucy Clark. John was a very dark complexted man and is said to have been part Indian. This elder John is believed to have been a son of an earlier John who was listed in the 1790 census of Marlboro County and may have been a son or younger brother of a James Rasco listed in the 1790 census of Marlboro County. Elements of this family moved into Richmond County N.C. and possibly Stanly County N.C. Another John Rascoe shows up in the 1910 and 1920 censuses of Marlboro County but he is not the same as the ones listed above even though his wife is also named Martha. This later John Rascoe is believed to have been a son of Alexander H. Rascoe, son of Purrington Rascoe of Marlboro County. Too many Rascoe/Roscoe with the same given names in the Chesterfield/Marlboro area and to little information available to sort them out into which family line they each belong. If any one can, I could sure use some HELP. James R. Rasco

At the Hartsville Genealogical Research Library in Hartsville, S.C. in their Doris G. Gandy Chesterfield Surname Collection there is a Roscoe family file. Much of the file consist of notes and letters from or to various persons pretaining to the Roscoe family. With-in this file are several letters from a Mrs. Jesse Wilson Roscoe (Floris Bee Deaton Roscoe) of Grenada, Mississippi who I had the pleasure of knowing and corresponding with over a ten year period until her death in 1985. Her husband, Jesse Wilson Roscoe was born in Marlboro County S.C. in September of 1918. His parents were Oscar Raymond and Harriet Rosco. His grandparents were were George Washington Roscoe and his 2nd wife Jane Adams. His great grandparents were John Roscoe and Lucy Clark. Floris Roscoe was very interested in researching her husbands Roscoe ancestors and finding the connections between these ancestors and the other Roscoe or Rascoe families that were contempories with John Roscoe in Marlboro and Chesterfield Counties. Floris Roscoe apparently met with much silence and noncooperation from her husband's Roscoe relatived and other Roscoe in the Marlboro/Chesterfield area. One story that she relayed to me was that There was another man who claim to be yet another John Roscoe and illigitimate brother of George Washington Roscoe and that this man sometimes went by the sur-name "Minder". Floris Roscoe said her in-laws referred to the "Roscoe" descendants of this man as the "Minders Bunch" and they did not acknowledge any relationship between their families. Floris speculated that they were related however and that possibly some past disagreement resulted in the split up of the family. In one of her letters in the Hartsville Genealogical collection, Floris speculates that John Roscoe, her husbands, great grandfather, had been married to Minda (sur-name unknown) and had had several children by her including Oliver Roscoe, Riley Roscoe, Rachel Roscoe, Marie Roscoe, Jane Roscoe, Elizabeth Roscoe, and possibly others, all of whom can be located in the censuses of Chesterfield County in the 1850,1860, and 1870 censuses. Floris believes that John Roscoe left his family and ran off with Lucinda or Lucy Clark and had yet another family in Marlsboro County which was her husband's ancestors. Floris became convinced that the Roscoe that her husbands relatives referred to as the "Minder Bunch" actually referred to the children of John and Minda and there descendants in Chesterfield County and that perhaps the term "Minder Bunch" was actually "Minda's Bunch". Actually I don't believe that Floris ever proved or disproved this speculation wich was largely based on comparing the 1830 census of John Rasco family in Marlboro County with that of John Rascow family in the 1850 census of Marlboro County. If these John Roscoe were in fact the same person, Floris speculates that John's wife and children were different persons based on their ages then those in his household in 1850. That plus the story of the "Minder Bunch" is what Floris based her concludions on. On the other hand there is the claim that the "Roscoe across the river" (Chesterfield County), were not related to the ones in Marlboro County (Floris' in-laws). Perhaps John Ruscoe who shows up in Wadesboro, Anson County in the 1840's may have been in Chesterfield County earlier and could have been the husband of Minda. A least one of John Ruscoe sons (William D. Ruscoe) married and settled in Chesterfield County changing the spelling of his name to Roscoe. A daugther of John Ruscoe married and settled in Marlboro County. That this John Ruscoe may have been in Chesterfield County and been the husband of Minda is again only speculation and probably not true. A Delilah Rasco was in the 1810 census of Chesterfield County. Floris speculated that she may have been the widow of James Rasco who first appears in Marlboro County (Cheraw District) in the 1790 census. No other Roscoes or Rascoe appear in Chesterfield County censuses until 1850 although there continued to be Rascoe in Marlboro County in all the censuses back to 1790. Other records hint that there were other Roscoes in Chesterfield County in the 1820 and 1830 but they were not listed in the censuses. Oliver and Riley Rascow (Roscoe) households were enumerated in the 1850 census of Chesterfield County. Oliver had recently married Caroline Steen and had no children as of the census date. In his house appears a Mindu or Minda Rascow which is probably his mother and a Rachel Rascow which is likely his sister. In the same general area is the household of a Jane Minder. In her household are children Mary, Rebecca, Margaret, Joseph, and Effa. In the 1860 census of Chesterfield County, Minda Rascoe is listed in her own household with Marie (Mary?) Rascoe, Rebecca Rascoe, Josphine Rascoe, and Margaret Rascoe, which are probably some of Minda grandchildren and great grandchildren. In the 1870 census of Chesterfield a Joseph Rasco appears in the Chesterfield County Census. This is Joseph Franklin Roscoe who married Ruey Jane Cassiday. Floris Roscoe's research showed that Joseph had at least two sisters, one named Rebecca and one named Effie. The latter had ran off and married a Polson fellow. That Joseph Roscoe had a sister named Rebecca is confirmed by Glenn Perdue a descendant of Joseph F.Roscoe. Floris and Glenn both told me that Joseph and his sister(s) were suppose to have been illigitimate children of an unknown Roscoe female and an Indian named Joe Johnson but they had no proof of this claim. When Joseph F. Roscoe died, his death certificate did not show the names of his parents but where it normally would have it showed he was adopted. When Rebecca Roscoe died, her death certificate did not show who her father was but it listed her mother's name as Jane Roscoe. It is my opinion that this Jane Roscoe and the Jane Minder on the 1850 census are one and the same based on what Floris and Glenn have told me, the given names listed, the locations, and other circumstancial evidence I have gathered. Still none of this is proven. Rebecca Roscoe appears to have never married but she had at least two daughter, Margaret "Maggie", Jane "Janie", and a son names Joseph Rascoe. Margaret also appears to have never married but had children of her own which seems to have been raised by Rebecca. Jane had children also out of wed-lock who Rebecca raised. The son Joseph married Catherine Purvis or Parker and moved to Coffee County Alabama. He retained the spelling of Rascoe for his sur-name rather then Roscoe. I have quite a large collection of material on the Rascoe/Roscoe families of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Darlington Counties of S.C., Richmond, Anson, Charlotte, Cabarrus, Cumberland, and other counties of N.C. as well as Rascoe who left South Carolina in the early 1800's and migrated to Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, and Texas. If anyone else has simular data and would like to correspond or exchange information, I would be pleased to hear from you. Will also be happy to do look-ups in the Cemetery records of Chesterfield County for anyone needing such. James R. Rasco < jrrasco@aol.com >

Hi Brenda, Roselawn is either the same as or directly beside Rogers Cemetery, across from Beaverdam Cemetery, one half mile from McColl on 15/401 toward Tatum. I believe I have seen a survey on record at the Courthouse showing it located there. I don't know if it's a seperate Cemetery or a new part of Roger's Cemetery. I will try to remember to look up the survey again. Jeff Dudley At 11:49 AM 2/1/02 -1000, you wrote: >Hi Everyone, > > I need help.

Hi Everyone, I need help. Does anyone know where Roselawn Cemetary in McColl is and perhaps driving directions? I have a researcher inquiring and I have no idea where it is located. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Tammy, There are two Coxe cemeteries in Brownsville. The Emanuel Coxe Cemetery is off of Screwpin Rd, which appears to be the one you are describing. There are only two markers to be seen there, although I haven't searched thoroughly thru the underbrush. Both of these are for Emanuel, one placed in the 50's or 60's proclaiming the site as his burial place. This is part of his original land grant for Wolftrap Plantation. This site was strip mined in the sixties and seventies, and is now (the cemetery) surrounded on three sides by a huge lake and is very close to a surplus sand pile several stories high.The other marker for Emanuel is a Revolutionary War Veteran marker recently placed. Story is that the mining company dug up a body by mistake. Apparently the cemetery was bigger than they thought. The area they reserved and dug around ended up about 125 feet by 250 feet. To get to this cemetery, go to the intersection of Screwpin Rd and Hwy 38 South within site of Cooper's country store (about seven miles from either Blenheim or I-95), go on Screwpin for about 2.5 miles, you will see Rogers Cemetery/Old Brownsville Church site on your left on a small hill, travel staight ahead across Muddy Creek bridge then turn right on dirt road about half mile down, follow dirt road about third of a mile to sand pile (very obvious! can't miss this land mark), once at sand pile the lake is immediately behind the pile, the cemetery is just behind the pile to the extreme left of lake jutting into the water. There is a road to cemetery, BUT is difficult to get to without four wheel drive. The road to the sand pile is okay when dry, but may be difficult for an average car when wet. Much of the surrounding area is swampy, and doesn't drain very well. The other Coxe cemetery is nearby. Travel back to Hwy 38 South, cross over Hwy 38 South from Screwpin, which now becomes Gray Rd. Travel thru stop sign about 150 yards ahead (old hwy 38) straight ahead on Gray Rd., from stop sign travel about 1.5 miles, after a long straight stretch of road you will start a long, fairly tight curve to the left, halfway thru turn you will cross a small creek, just as you leave the creek and the road starts to straighten (approaching an intersection ahead), the cemetery is to your left in the woods at the back of a field, approx. 100 yards or more from the paved road. You can see some of the markers during winter monthes. Hope this helps, Jeff Dudley At 11:36 AM 1/30/02 -0500, you wrote: > >>From: "Jon Cox" <jcox6888@prodigy.net> >>To: <SCMARLBO-L@rootsweb.com> >>Subject: Brownsville/ Cox cemetery >>Date: Wed, 30 Jan 2002 10:26:13 -0600 >> >> I am looking for a good road map of the Brownsville area that shows screwpin road.

I am trying to determine if Alexander Rascoe died in Marlboro County or just moved away from Marlboro County. This Alexander Rascoe first appeared on the 1800 census of Marlboro County. In his household was 1 male under the age of ten; 1 male between sixteen and twenty-six, and 1 female between the gages of sixteen and twenty-six. On February 7, 1803 this Alexander Rascoe (Rascho) purchased 200 acres of land on Clark Branch from Thomas and Chairity Turner. The deed is recorded in Marlboro County Deed book FF on page 93. Alexander Rasco was enumerated on the 1810 census of Marlboro County. At that time there were 4 males under the age of ten, 1 male between ten and sixteen, one male between twenty-six and fourty-five, and one female between twenty-six and fourty-five. Alexander Rascoe is recorded in the 1820 census of Marlboro County. In his household are 3 males under ten, one male between sixteen and twenty-six, 1 male over the age of 45, one female between sixteen and twenty-six, and 1 female between twenty-six and fourty-five. Alexander Rascoe does not appear in the 1830 or later censuses of Marlboro or surrounding counties. What became of him? Did he die in Marlboro County or just move away? What became of his 200 Acres in Marlboro County? Did he sell them and if so when? If he died, who were the heirs of his estate? What was his wife's name and the names of his children? There was another Alexander H. Rascoe, son of Purrington Rascoe, listed in the censuses of Marlboro County from 1850 through the 1910 census. He may have been a grandson or other relative of the original Alexander Rascoe but he is not the same Alexander that I am concerned with. Can anyone help me with my questions concerning the original Alexander Rascoe? Thanks very much. James R. Rasco

The family will receive friends from 6-8 tonight at Kannaday's Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to Main Street United Methodist Church, Dillon, SC 29536. Mrs. Cottingham died January 25, 2002. Her many friends and family will lovingly remember her as many great women in one: a devoted wife, loyal mother, kind friend, talented musician, inspiring teacher, and faithful Christian. In 1999, following the death of John C. Cottingham, her husband of 56 years, she moved from their Dillon family residence in order to be closer to her five children and their families. Since that time, she resided at Springfield Place in Newberry. One of six children herself, she was the second daughter of the late Rev. C.S. Felder, a Methodist pastor, who, with his wife, Annie, ministered to South Carolina congregations for 40 years. Libby and John C. were married in Pamplico by her father in December 1942. Making their home together in Dillon, they were destined to produce a large family of their own, pursue interesting careers and avocations, serve their community church, and share almost 25 years of happy retirement. Mrs. Cottingham put together a successful professional music career spanning more than 25 years, teaching hundreds of pupils to play the piano, both young and old. All the while she contributed freely of her time, talents, and energies to numerous public school programs, church events, and social affairs. In Dillon, she was active in the Saint Cecilia Music Club, the Rose Garden Club, the Etudier Club, the Louise Best Circle of her church; and with her husband, a prolific "family tree detective"--the South Carolina Genealogical Society. She also shared her husband's devotion to their Methodist church choir. As a talented soprano and pianist, whose 1936 B.A. from Columbia College was in piano and voice, she was often called on by the choir, even into her eighties, to sing solos and serve as accompanist.
