My name is James R. Rasco. I reside in Harvey, Louisiana. My ancestors came from North Carolina. I have been researching the family trees of the Rascoe / Roscoe families for several years and have accumulated a lot of data on the Rascoe / Roscoe families which were and have been in the old Cheraw District which included the South Carolina Counties of of Marlboro, Chesterfield and Darlington. Of Primary interest is the pre-1850 Marlboro County families of James Rascoe, John Rascoe, Alexander Rascoe, Rachel Rascoe, Aquilla Rascoe, and Purrington Rascoe. James and John shows up first in the 1790 census. Alexander in the 1800 census, Rachel in the 1830 census and also Purrington. Aquilla sold land in Marlboro County in the late 1820's and removed to Richmond County N.C. In the 1810 census of Chesterfield County there was a household headed by a Delilah Rasco. No other Rascoe or Roscoe families show up in the Chesterfield Census untill 1850 although it is believe that there were Roscoe in Chesterfield County much earlier. Those known to have been in the area were Dan Roscoe, Mindu Roscoe, Oliver Roscoe, William RILEY Roscoe, Joseph Franklin Roscoe, Jane (Roscoe) Minder, Elizabeth Roscoe, Rebecca Roscoe and descendants of these. Some of the descendants of the Chesterfield Roscoe moved to Hartsville in Darlington County where many still live. Some of the Marlboro families moved into Richmond County North Carolina and the name seems to have played out in Marlboro County in the 1900's. I would like to communicate with anyone having an interest or genealogical data on any of these Rascoe / Roscoe families and their descendants. Would be pleased to compare and exchange data. James R.
