Hi fellow researches: Last month we spent two weeks researching my father's lines from Columbia, SC to Davisboro, GA and most areas between. We took with us our laptop completed with the latest data base, a digital video and still cameras, and a digital voice recorder. Our Olympus C-750 still camera and Sony IC voice recorder were EXTERMLY valuable tools. Everywhere we got access to courthouse vaulted documents (originals) because we were not trying to photocopy these pages. On the camera auto function and with the general lighting in these places, no flash was necessary. The files this camera creates can be enlarged, brightened, sharpen, etc. We took over 1300 shots and over 13 hours of voice taping all of which will be included in our software data base when done. We also, found these tools to be time savers and cost savers verse printing off microfilm at what ever the copy costs are. As with any digital file, sending on the internet for sharing is direct. If any of you have questions regarding this you may contact me at [email protected] Robert Temples Edmonds, WA

Hi Folks, Please pardon me for cross posting but I could use your help. I am not sure how these KINGs are related to each other but I believe they are. I also believe they are related to my WADEs but I cannot find the link. Hopefully you can help me to sort this out. Here are the players in this drama: 1. William KING who witnessed several deeds for WADEs in Old Pendleton Dist. SC in the 1780s and 1790s. 2. William KING who was first an elder in the Big Creek Baptist Church in Old Pendleton Dist SC and later the minister of the Head of Enoree Baptist Church in 1801 and again in 1828. While both of the mentioned churches are in Old Pendleton Dist SC (now Anderson Co SC) church records indicate that this William KING resided in Spartanburg Co SC. 3. William KING who appears on the 1830 Spartanburg Co SC census with a rather unusual dual head of household entry that reads "Wm KING, E. WADE". As most of you know, the 1830 census normally only shows one person as head of household. 4. Samuel KING who went to court in 1794 in Elbert Co GA with an Edward WADE. 5. Joseph KING who died in DeKalb Co GA abt. 1829. Edward WADE was the administrator of Joseph KING's estate. Legal notices for this estate appeared from May 30, 1829 to January 2, 1830 in the Georgia Journal. If you can help me with any of these people or how they are linked it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Eldon

Our "Samuel and Martha Jefferson Bell Walker of Edgefield SC in 1800" research group has just gotten back the results of a DNA test on a male Walker of this line. We have a match! Our Walker line matches that of GROUP 10 at the Walker DNA web page: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fabercove/test_results.htm The Walkers who have already contributed and who are our match in GROUP 10 descend from Richard and Rachel Martin Walker (she was the daughter of Valentine Martin). Richard was thought to have been born about 1790 in SC and died ca 1855 in, possibly MS. A son was William Pinckney Walker who married Hannah Moore. We are now hoping and looking for other descendants of the Richard and Rachel Walker family to continue to investigate their Walker ancestors. Please let us hear from you if you are researching this family. Also please send this info to others who might be interested. Look forward to hearing from descendants of Richard and Rachel Martin Walker.

My advice would be to see if you can find an obituary on him in the local paper, the library probably has the old newspapers on microfilm. It should tell where he is buried and maybe a lot of other information.

I am looking for the grave of my father's grandfather, Joseph J. Green(e). After a two year wild goose chase (based on a letter to my dad dated 1953), I decided to go on the only true piece of documentation that I have, the 1910 census from Union County SC, with my Great Grandfather head of household and my Grandmother 5 years old. Long story short - I ordered a death record for a Joseph J. Green who turns out to be Joseph Johnson Green(e). The info collected about Joseph Johnson DOES NOT conflict with my Joseph J. , and it actually fills in all the holes. What should be my next plan of attack to confirm/prove that Joseph J. and Joseph Johnson are the same guy? My Joseph J. married my Great Grandmother Hattie Ophelia Horn around 1903, Hattie was born 1888, so is there a marriage license for the young bride? I am not sure of county, probably Spartanburg Co or Union. Or should I hunt down will's, like the will of Joseph J.s mother or father? (My grandmother died in 1941 when my dad was a lad) Do I go to the cemetery and snoop around? Or can someone give me advice on another area that would help me confirm my Joseph J.'s parents are the same as the parents on Joseph Johnsons death record. THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN GUIDE ME!!!!

Thanks so much for the help. Dee, do you have anything on Elizabeth Lewis who married Robert McKeown and at his death married John Ouldfield, Sr. John had to get to South Carolina somehow.

----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 8:48 PM Subject: RE: Robert Lang Indian Trader Would anyone have information on Robert Lang Indian Trader? My Robert Lang was in S. C. as early as 1737. I am trying to determine where he came from. Was he the same Robert Lang, Trader in NC? From the Early Clarks of Carolina Edward Clark Jr's immediate neighbors included many of the so called Chickasaw Indian Traders, e.g. Robert Lang, John Pace, Thomas Whitmell, etc. Who settled near Occoneechee Neck between 1713 and 1725. These traders would take Indian trail south in the late fall to the Chickasaw and Cherokee winter camps along the bluffs of the Broad River. Both Gibsons were part of the small community of Indian traders known as the "Chickasaw Traders" who between 1710 and 1730, settled along the main north/south Indian trail near where if forded the Morattock (later Roanoke) River, and area the traders named Occoneechee Neck. Chowan and Bertie Precinct land records establish that Gideon Gibson acquired land from William Maule and Robert Lang (an Indian trader) in 1721 and 1722 along the south shore of the Roanoke River adjacent to Quankey Creek. From "THE EXPANSION OF SOUTH CAROLINA" 1729-1765 by Robert L. Meriwether, 1940 Between 1736 and 1741 several English names are to be found among the Saxa Gotha plats: Robert Lang senior and junior, William Baker, Thomas Berry, Richard Myrick, and John Gibson had surveys near Savannah Hunt Creek. PAGE 55 > From "THE EXPANSION OF SOUTH CAROLINA" 1729-1765 by Robert L. Meriwether 1940 Chapter V Between 1736 and 1741 several English names are to be found among the Saxa Gotha plats: Robert Lang senior and junior, William Baker, Thomas Berry, Richard Myrick, and John Gibson had surveys near Savannah Hunt Creek. PAGE 55 Philip Raiford, Junior and James Leslie were also on Broad River by 1756. Samuel Lines went to the lower Saluda while Robert Lang senior and junior, or two men of their name, went one to the upper Saluda, the other to Crims Creek, a branch of Broad. PAGE 62 Chapter X This troop (a troop of rangers)......was provided for by the assembly in April of 1748 because of the capture of George Haig, the murder of a trader in the Cherokees, and other threats of an Indian outbreak......Within two days after receiving Glen's letter Francis (James Francis) enlisted twelve men, "All living in Saludy Settlements".. Of the twelve John Turk, Robert Lang, Charles Banks, David Ball, John Reed, and Henry Foster received warrants in the Saluda valley between 1749 and 1755,......Francis begged the governor to allow him to enlist two more white men in place of the Indians,(each troop had two friendly Indians) and gave a hint of the occupation of his neighbors by saying that "As for their usefulness in hunting provision...I question whether e'er an Indian on the main can compare with some of the men in listed, not only in killing provisions or the like but any other property that an Indian is adapted to," PAGE 119 Charles Banks was also from the northward and formerly in the Cherokee trade. Robert Lang and his father had land in Saxa Gotha by 1740 and at some time one or both of them probably were also traders. PAGE 120 Chapter XI Robert Lang in 1757 asked the Commons House to pay him twenty pounds for the plundering of cattle and goods, and the burning of his house by the Cherokees.
