Probate Court Pickens County December 5, 1896 Sarah E. Martin, J. T. Youngblood, as Administrators, etal Against Lucy H. Spearman, etal, Defendants To J. B. Newbery, Probate Judge and C. E. Robinson, attorney for the plaintiffs in the above mentioned case: Take notice that the defendants appeal from the judgement of the Probate Court, herein, on the following grounds, to wit:- Because the court erred in holding, in his judgement in said case dated 9th November 1896, that the personal property of the intestates was not sufficient to pay his debts, and that the personal property of the deceased was not subject to his debts. Because the court erred in holding that it was necessary to sell the real estate of the intestates in aid of assets. Because the court erred in holding that the defense failed to prove that there was personal property belonging to the estate of the intestates. Because the court erred in ordering the lands, described in said decree, to be sold in aid of assets, and in directing the administrators of the proceeds of such sale. Because the said judgement of the Probate judge is contrary to the evidence in said case there appearing no reason in said evidence for an order for the sale of the real estate.

Probate Court County of Pickens, SC Sarah E. Martin & J. T. Youngblood as Administrators etal Plaintiffs Against Lucy H. Spearman, etal Defendants This action was tried before me this day all the parties being present by their attorneys. It is an action by Sarah E. Martin and J. T. Youngblood as administrators with the will annexed of the estate of W. W. Martin, deceased and is brought for the purpose of subjecting so (?) much of the real estate of the testator as may be necessary to the payment of his debts. It was proven to my satisfaction that the administrators had published a notice to debtors and creditors, that about $200.00 had been presented to them against the estate for payment, that there was no personal property of any kind of money which belonged to the testator and which could be subjected to the payment of his debts and that therefore it was necessary to sell real estate. The defense tried to make it appear that the testator owned some personal property, at the time of his death, and which some of the witnesses did testify to several articles of personality, yet there was a total failure to show that an! y of the property mentioned by them belonged to the testator. So after hearing the testimony and arguments of counsel for plaintiffs and defendants it is ordered: That the tract of land described in the complaint as being on the waters of Crow Creek, adjoining lands of J J Hind, J. N. Murphree, and others and containing 130 acres, more or less, be sold by the Probate Judge on Saleday in December next or some convenient Saleday thereafter on the following terms to wit: One half cash and the balance on a credit of twelve months. The credit portion to be secured by a bond of the purchasers and a mortgage of the premises. It is further ordered that the proceeds arising from the sale of the above mentioned tract of land, or so much thereof as may be necessary, after paying the cost and expenses of this action and the sum of $100 to C. E. Robinson, plaintiffs attorney as fee for his services in this case, be turned over to the administrators to be by their use ___ in paying the debts established against the estate of the said W. W. Martin, deceased. And if there be any balance the same be held for the further order of this court. It is further ordered that should the proceeds of the land above ordered to be sold be insufficient to pay the costs and expensed of this action and the debts against the estate, that so much of the remaining tracts of land which shall be determined upon hereafter and ….

That the said W. W. Martin left surviving heirs as his heirs at ___ ___ plaintiffs Sarah E. Martin and W. A. Martin and all of the defendants. That the plaintiff W. A. Martin considered to be joined in this action as a plaintiff to save cash and consents to be bound by the proceedings herein as though he had been made a defendant.

Grandmama was in the care of hospice for the last two weeks of her life, and had battled ovarian cancer for the last two years. Grandmama (actually, my mother-in-law) was born 4/21/1912 in Alcolu, SC, a dau of Mark Calvus and Lillie Betts PLAYER KENNEDY, and would have celebrated her 91st birthday in April.

God bless, Dolores Miller Pringle Myrtle Beach, SC dmpringle@sc.rr.com

Maps Tracing the Formation of Counties in South Carolinathis is what I meant to send, with the links.. ----- Original Message ----- Maps Tracing the Formation of Counties in South Carolina -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The links below are to maps illustrating the changing face of the state as new counties have been formed. Proprietary Counties, 1682 In 1682, after the first hard years of settlement, the Proprietors ordered three counties laid out. Berkeley County, centering around Charleston, extended from the Stono River on the south to Seewee Creek (present-day Awendaw Creek) where it emptied into Bulls Bay on the north. Craven County lay north of Berkeley, and below Berkeley, Colleton extended to the Combahee River. Later, a fourth county, Granville, was laid out between the Combahee and the Savannah rivers. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parishes of the Anglican Church Throughout the colonial period, the small population and its limited legal needs kept most government, records keeping, and judicial activity confined to the municipal limits of Charleston. Parishes of the established Anglican Church served as election districts, and courts with jurisdiction over the entire colony sat in Charleston. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts, 1769-1784 Georgetown extended from the North Carolina line to the Santee. Charleston lay between the Santee and the Combahee. Beaufort sat between the Combahee and the Savannah. Northwest of Georgetown was the Cheraws District, bounded on the west by Lynches River; west of the Cheraws was the large district of Camden, bounded on the west by the river system of the Santee, Congaree, and Broad; south and west of Camden, two more large districts extended to the Savannah River--Orangeburg to the south, and Ninety-Six to the north. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts and Counties, 1785 The 1785 act gave the Cheraws District the counties of Chesterfield, Marlboro, and Darlington; it divided Camden District into York, Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Richland, Claremont, and Clarendon counties. It gave Ninety-Six District the counties of Spartanburg, Union, Laurens, Newberry, Abbeville, and Edgefield. And it divided Orangeburg District into Orange, Lewisburg, Lexington, and Winton (an early version of Barnwell) counties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts and Counties, 1786-1790 In 1786, part of the unorganized Indian land, which had been taken from the Cherokee Indians during the American Revolution and lay northwest of Ninety-Six District, became Greenville County; in 1789, the remainder of the Indian land became Pendleton County. A few counties had been set out in the three Low Country districts of Georgetown, Charleston, and Beaufort, but there, where the old parish system was well established, the counties failed to take root. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts, 1791-1799 In 1791, the four Orangeburg counties were abolished, and two new districts were created. Washington District was formed to encompass the counties of Greenville and Pendleton. Pinckney District took York and Chester counties from Camden District, and Spartanburg and Union counties from Ninety-Six District. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts and Counties, 1791-1799 In 1791, Salem County was formed from portions of Claremont and Clarendon counties; and Kershaw County was formed from portions of Claremont, Lancaster, Fairfield, and Richland counties. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts, 1800-1814 In 1800, most of the counties were formed into districts. Washington, Pinckney Ninety-Six, Camden, and the Cheraws districts vanished, and the counties they had encompassed became districts. Claremont, Clarendon, and Salem counties became Sumter District. Marion District was formed from part of Georgetown, Colleton District from part of Charleston, and Barnwell District from part of Orangeburg. Georgetown yielded Horry District in 1801 and Williamsburg District in 1804. That same year, Lexington District was formed from Orangeburg with roughly the same territory as the old county of the same name. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts, 1815-1867 In 1826, Pendleton was divided into the two districts of Pickens and Anderson. In 1855, Clarendon District was taken from Sumter with the same boundaries as the old Clarendon County of 1785. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counties, 1868-1870 The Constitution of 1868 stated that "the Judicial Districts shall hereafter be designated as Counties" and formed Oconee County from the western part of Pickens. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counties, 1871-1877 In 1871, Aiken County originated from parts of Orangeburg, Edgefield, Barnwell, and Lexington. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counties, 1878-1907 In 1878, Hampton County emerged from part of Beaufort; in 1882, part of Charleston became Berkeley County; and in 1888, parts of Marion, Darlington, Williamsburg, and Clarendon merged to become Florence County. In 1895, Saluda County was created from part of Edgefield. In 1897, Bamberg emerged from Barnwell; Cherokee from parts of Spartanburg, Union, and York; Dorchester from Berkeley and Colleton; and Greenwood from parts of Abbeville and Edgefield. In 1902, Lee emerged from parts of Darlington, Kershaw, and Sumter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counties, 1908-1915 Calhoun emerged in 1908, from parts of Orangeburg and Lexington; Dillon, in 1910, from Marion; Jasper, in 1912, from Beaufort and Hampton. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counties, 1916-Present McCormick emerged in 1916 from Edgefield, Abbeville, and Greenwood; and Allendale, South Carolina's last county, emerged in 1919, from Barnwell and Hampton. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guide to County Records|| Guide || Home || Questions Please include your postal address in all electronic correspondence

I know that I am probably not suppose to do this but.... I have the Old Pendleton Gen Society Newsletters from 1994-1999 that I would like to sale.. they might be 1 or 2 that are missing. They are in good shape except for a little bit of highlighting and a little scribbling in some.. I would like $20 for all. That includes shipping by media mail. I am doing some cleaning & didn't want to just throw them away.. Let me know...

Then why are you doing it? The rules of this list are posted on the bottom of about every third posting, including my address so you could have asked for an exception.

Dear List Members, The rules of this list are as follows: NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.
