Posted on: Pickens County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Pickens/10780 Surname: howard ------------------------- I would like to correspond with anyone researching Seth Howard both Senior and Junior of Pickens Co.,SC. I think that Seth, Jr. was in Bedford Co.,TN in 1830/40/50

Seeking information on the family of David Branch Finney who resided in Pickens, SC in the early 1900's. His son's were David Finney Jr. & Connie Finney... Any help would be greatly appreciated. Patricia Schiro [email protected]

Scott, By the way, you were a fine writer. Just like everyone we were working on getting the basics. I'm so glad that you found a high school teacher who let you take the lead in your writing. When we find we can do it for ourselves, that's when we know we've really learned, and I'd say that you did! Would you please tell me about the directions to this "other" cemetery. I've been to the one at Old Pickens several times, but would like to check out this other one, too. Thanks so much!

would you be willing to photograph the headstones. I have a volunteer site that has Oconee and Pickens county headstone photos on it and would love to include them. I am in tough with the Oconee county website coordinator and he is aware of my site. I am trying to help him with inscriptions of the Oconee county cemeteries and photograph as many as I can.

Posted on: Pickens County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Pickens/10779 Surname: Murphy, Mahoney ------------------------- If anyone has access to the 1880-1889 census I would really appreciate a lookup of William Harrison Murphy who married Adeline Mahoney or Honea in 1880. They had four children born in Pickens. Annis M, Mary Lueasy, John Benjamin, Sarah Mina. They moved to Roane County Tn between 1889 and 1892 where they had three other children.The first child born in Roane County was my grandmother Lona Murphy. I know nothing about her mother except her first name. I need to know the real maiden name of Adeline. Was she a Honey or Mahoney? Thanks in advance. I can be reached at email [email protected]

I work at Oconee Nuclear and would be happy to (when I have a chance) look for a certain plot or headstone for someone. There are two seperate cemetaries here at the site. ne is at the Old Pickens Church and the other is on a hill above our Complex entrance. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Traci, Were the problems ever resolved? I was able to get to a 2-21-01 version of the Pickens Co. site. Is that the most current one? Thanks Terry

Checked the 1850 Census, Western Dist. (became Oconee Co.), Pickens Dist., SC and found these SANDERS all living next to each other. This may give you a clue to his parents as well as brothers: 1021 1067 John W. SANDERS 32 m blacksmith 300 b.SC Sarah M. [Mahala?] 31 f all in this house born in SC Sarah 8 f John 7 m Elizabeth 5 f James 3 m ----SANDERS 1 f 1022 1068 William SANDERS 58 m farmer 1,000 b. SC Sarah 59 f all in this house b.

There are certainly several g'daughters named Sarah. There is a MCDANIEL family on the other side of your John W. and his wife; it's possible that they are her parents, but I can't really tell. I hope this will help you. If John W. and his family are listed in Pickens in 1860, then they prob. moved if all these folks are not around them. Found SANDERS graves in a few different places, but this seemed to be the most likely to be some of the above people, and even at that, your J.W. and his wife may not be in the group. Liberty Cemetery, Liberty, SC: unmarked adult grave James SANDERS, b. 3/2/1817, d. 11/3/1910 Sarah SANDERS, b. 6/23/1803, d. 3/15/1903 (mother?) Jerry E. SANDERS, b. 8/15/1852, d. 11/23/1903 Sarah E.

just to add to this about 4 or 5 years ago some graves surfaced in lake Hartwell and they were moved at the time to another cemetery. If you go to Keowee Toxaway State park you can see some photos of the Indian village that was buried when Lake Keowee was flooded. They also have documentation of the graves of the military men who were killed by the Indians and the mass graves of the Indians that were killed in retaliation. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Finley" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2001 2:46 PM Subject: [SCPICKENS] Keowee Toxaway Project > I talked to a lady at Duke Power and she states that she went to the Duke > Archives at Charlotte NC and got all the information concerning all > cemeteries that were moved.

I talked to a lady at Duke Power and she states that she went to the Duke Archives at Charlotte NC and got all the information concerning all cemeteries that were moved. She states that according to their information Duke Power ran ads in the papers asking families to identify their family cemeteries and give them instruction to where they wanted them moved. If a family did not provide a plot for these cemeteries then the family cemetery was moved and they were buried in a mass grave at the cemetery located near the old church which is located near the Oconee Nuclear station. Pictures were taken before and after they were moved. Also picture were taken of what was moved. She states that these picture will not be released in respect of the families involved also for legal reasons. She states that all she had access to was the actual records that shows who and what was moved, the pictures are not viewable to anyone including her. She also states that Duke Power sent out employees to look for possible cemeteries (field stones etc..) and if a something was found that looked like a cemetery then a special crew was sent out to investigate, if it was identified as a family cemetery then it was moved to the cemetery at the old church. She also states that several Indian burial grounds were moved too. She also states that she has contacted the owner of the Oconee County Website and is release her information to him so that he can post this information on the web. She states that there is a slim possibility of a grave under water. She states that if a grave was covered by water, then it would have not been marked with a field stone or any sort of identification. If the grave contained a field stone, then the stone was moved with the remains. The company did go beyond what is required by law in moving these cemeteries and graves. The reason a lot of these graves were moved at night was because the company did not want to parade down city streets with the remains in public view. She states that several local mortuary did the actual moving and they used the protocol that was used during the time fame involved in respect to the families. ----- Original Message ----- From: "DMPringle" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, May 27, 2001 2:17 PM Subject: Re: [SCPICKENS] to Dolores re: Stancil's > Dianne, > I now have a map that gives us some of the details of the layout of the land > that is now under water.

Dianne, I now have a map that gives us some of the details of the layout of the land that is now under water. If you ever get a general idea where that family cemetery might be, let me know, and maybe you can locate it on this map. Best of luck!

I'm looking for info for E.H.Stancill/sell/cel, but have decided that he must be buried in a family cemetery that is probably under water now. Any mention of Stancil's, prompts an e-mail for info. Never know, might find a clue. Thanks again, Dianne > > > ==== SCPICKEN Mailing List ==== > We have over 234 members of the Pickens Co., SC Mailing List.

I had neck surgery in March, then we found out that my M-I-L who is 89 has ovarian cancer (19 nights in the Georgtown hospital), and two days after she got out, I found out that my father has bladder cancer, Grade 3. Therefore, I've been running from one end of the state to the other, and it's a zoo! I'm ready to run away! > > I did have some time tonight and looked to see what I could find.
