Is Mr. Robert Spearman on our list? Does anyone happen to know Mr. Spearman, the surveyor? I recently got back some recorded paperwork from the bank and his name is listed as the surveyor.. Just wondering if he's related to all of us W. W. Martin researchers? Sandy in SC

Most of the MERCK families that I knew growing up in Pickens Co. spelled their name MERCK. You may want to keep this different spelling in mind while you are looking; it can sometimes make the difference in finding the person. Godspeed...

This document documents Jessie W.Prince b.abt 1828 d,1865 as a predeceased brother to Charles Prince,by listing the children of Jessie W.Prince. Jessie W.Prince was marrid to Elenora "Nellie" Kelly and is listed on the 1850,1860 Pickens co.census.Elenora is bur.in Mt Zion cem.Central SC. Conjecture and circumstancs suggest that Daniel and Rebecca Prince from Union co.Sc were the parents of Charles,Jessie,Elizabeth (Betsy),Rebecca (Becky) and Martha (?) Prince. Daniel and Rebecca are mentioned in the will of John Prince b.before 1750 m.Elizabeth. one source list the following: John Prince's father is Daniel Prince b.abt 1718 in Surrey ,Va.d.bef.Apr 1 1795 m.Lydia His father was Edward Prince b.abt 1860 in Surrey,James co.Va. d.1755 m.Elizabeth Ivey (Any thing in (brackets),I added to this document.Gay Stewart Beam) State of S.C.

That no administration has been had upon the estate of the said Charles prince deceased. lV. That it would be to the interest of all the parties hereto sell said lands in two or three different tracts and divide the proceeds there of amoungst the said parties according to their respective interest.
