Victoria, Thank you very much for keeping an eye out for me on the Rasco / Roscoe surnames. I appreciate it very much. I already had this information. I am not sure if any of these Rascoes and Roscoes are related to me in any way. My line of the family left Bertie County North Carolina in 1794 and moved west into Tennessee and Kentucky. None of my direct line of Rascos were ever in South Carolina. I am interested in all branches of the Rascoe family and that is my primary reason for trying to learn more about those who were in Marlboro/Chesterfield in the 1790 to date. Those lines and mine may tie in with each other back in Bertie or Hyde Counties North Carolina of possibly Northampton County Virginia late 1600's to late 1700's. I believe but have not proven that the James Rasgo (sic) that was listed in the Cheraw District in the 1790 census was in Wayne County N.C. in 1786 and prior to that in Bertie County. The Aquilla Rasco listed in the 1850 census of Richmond County N.C. was either a son of James or John Rasco. Aquilla sold 170 acres of land on Lightwood Knot Creek in Marlboro County to James Steen on February 2, 1826, recorded May 22, 1826 in Deed Book "M" page 370. Aquilla moved just across the North Carolina line into Richmond County, Wolf Pit District. He is listed in all the censuses in that county beginning in 1830 through 1870. He died and left a will in Richmond County. Most of the Roscoes you found in the Mark Creek and Mary Love Cemeteries in Richmond County are descendants of the John Rasco who was born about 1796 in Marlboro County through his son John Rasco and his son George Washington Roscoe. Note the name began to change from Rasco to Roscoe after the War Between the States. The present day Roscoes in Chesterfield, Marlboro, Darlington, Richmond and some other near by counties are related to the earlier Rascoes of Marlboro County. My problems are trying to prove and place these various Rascoes/Roscoe in their proper family groups and determine how each group is related to the others. Also to prove how the Rascoes in Marlboro County prior to 1850 were related to each other, identify all the children and wives and to prove where these Rascoes originated at and who their parents were. Not a small task but I an other across the country whose ancestor left Marlboro County about 1820 and moved to Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and Kentucky are working on this. I have been since the early 1970's. Part of the difficulty is the fact that there are no marriage records and very few other records coupled with the fact that None of the present Roscoe in that part of the country either don't know anything about their ancestors, don't care to know, or don't want other to know. Anyway thanks once again for your help, time, and effords on my behalf. I do really appreciate all you have done for me and look forward to hearing from you again with more info you come across. Best regards, Your friend, James R. Rasco
