Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Sponsor/SCRoots/626 Surname: Colwell ------------------------- I am looking for any information on my Great Grandmother born October 20, 1800 in South Carolina.

I am researching the name CALLIHAM. The end of my line is JOSEPH T. CALLIHAM, born in SC, died in Texas. There was evidently a group of Callihams that left SC went to GA, then AL, and settled in Rapides Parish, LA in the very early 1800's. The names of the men in this group of Callihams, while not unusual, were not common during the time period--Nicholas, Morris, David, etc. While Joseph T. was with this group I have not been able to figure out his relationship with them, or who his parents were. We estimate his birth date @1784 (from census records.) He named his first son DAVID SOMMERLIN, and his second JOHN HAYS. Does anyone have any of these names in their database? Thanks Lisa

I found the following site that listed a William Talley Shokes JONES. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/g/r/i/Kim-E-Grissom/ODT 1-0002.html I am researching the SHOKES line. I have found recent members of the SHOKES/JONES family in the Summerville, SC area.

They were born about 1812. William Talley might have been born in Charleston, Julia Fordham in Pregnall, SC. I believe they were living in Colleton County in the 1840's/50's, and were in Orangeburg in 1860 (according to census records). Both died in Orangeburg County. If anyone has any information regarding William Talley McKewn and Julia Fordham McKewn I would appreciate it if you would contact me. I'm willing to share the information I have. Thank you.

See the attached notes and par 10. will show that from NC counties old 96 District of SC was formed then later Spartanburg Co was formed.

South Carolina was part of the Province of "Carolina" until 1710 when North and South Carolina were made separate provinces. In the early = years of South Carolina (1682-1769) Counties were only used for=20 geographical divisions, and did not have governmental functions. In 1706 Parishes were set up and coexisted within the various counties. These=20 Parishes remained until after 1790. In 1769 South Carolina was divided=20 into seven Judicial Districts, which served as the Governmental units.=20 Later these districts were subdivided into counties, which rarely served = any official function. Many of these counties later became districts and took on governmental duties. It was not until 1868 that South = Carolina redesignated all of the Districts as "Counties". 2. In 1682 three Proprietary counties were set up: Berkeley, Colleton = and Craven. In 1685 Carteret County was added. Carteret was renamed = Granville County in 1708.

In 1768 Saint David's Parish was = created from Saint Mark's Parish. Also Saint Matthew's Parish was created from = St. George's Parish and St. James Santee Parish. The parishes fell out of = use after 1769, but in some cases were still used. 4. In 1769 Seven Judicial Districts were created that abolished the four existing old counties. The Districts coexisted with the various = Parishes. In 1785 the Districts were divided into counties, many of which never = became functional. At various times, many of the counties became Districts and = in some cases abolished their old Districts in the process. In some cases = the counties themselves were abolished in favor of the parent District. 5. Beaufort District was created in 1769. In 1785 Beaufort was divided = into four counties: Granville, Hilton, Lincoln and Shrewsbury. These counties never became functional, and in 1798 these counties were abolished. = Beaufort District became Beaufort County in 1868. 6. Camden District was created in 1769. In 1785 Camden was divided into seven counties: Chester, Claremont, Clarendon, Fairfield, Lancaster, = Richland, and York.

In the 1790 Census, Charleston District was divided up by Parish. 8. Cheraws District was created in 1769. In 1785 Cheraws District was = divided into four counties: Chesterfield, Darlington and Marlboro. In 1792 Salem = County was formed from part of Camden District, but placed in Cheraws=20 District. In 1798 Cheraws District was abolished and the counties of=20 Chesterfield, Darlington and Marlboro became Districts. Salem County = became part of Sumter District. 9. Georgetown District was created in 1769. In 1785 Georgetown District = was divided into four counties: Kingston, Liberty, Williamsburg and Winyaw. = These counties never became functional, and in 1798 were abolished.

Dear Charles and others, Am interested in what you said about Mecklenburg Do later becoming Spartanburg Co, SC. I have a booklet on the formation of Counties of SC, and it does not show that at all. However, I do know that part of SC and NC boundary was in dispute at some point, but do not know the history of that. Would be interested as I have NC then SC folks, who might have really lived in the same area if what you say if true.

Hello, I'm researching my McKewn line and have hit a brick wall with my great great grandparents, William Talley McKewn and Julia Ann Fordham McKewn. They were born about 1812. William Talley might have been born in Charleston, Julia Fordham in Pregnall, SC. I believe they were living in Colleton County in the 1840's/50's, and were in Orangeburg in 1860 (according to census records). Both died in Orangeburg County. If anyone has any information regarding William Talley McKewn and Julia Fordham McKewn I would appreciate it if you would contact me. I'm willing to share the information I have. Thank you.

What an interesting site, Kathy. Thank you. Sorry about your computer crash, we recently had the same experience. Hope your recovery is not too expensive or too long. Kit

Do you by chance have a Mary Schuler, born 1774 in Hanover, Germany? She married Jonathan Clower in Pennsylvania, but they moved to South Carolina and then Alabama. I wondered if your Schuler's were connected? -----Original Message----- From: Wyatt & Anne Propst <k4ptu@InfoAve.Net> To: SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com <SCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, February 17, 2000 7:25 PM Subject: [SC] St. James Santee >Purchased my copy recently from the Berkeley Museum in Moncks Corner for $37.50. >Anne P >Researching: Addy, Antley, Drafts, Dreher, Hiller, Hildebrand, and Shuler on >my father's side. >Mills(Sir Peter van der Muelin), Gregory, Messenger, Homuth and Snyder on my >mother's side >Propst, Heise, Cooper, Swinney, Johnson on my husband's family.

Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Sponsor/SCRoots/625 Surname: King, Blunt, Blount ------------------------- Family records show that Mary Malendia King was born in SC in 1816.We beleive that her father was named William King, born in 1795 in VA or AL and his wife was named Lucinda, born in 1789 in GA, because of information in 1837 census of Tishomingo County, MS. She married William Jackson Blunt/Blount before 1836 place unknown. They had the following children: Susan C.(perhaps Caroline) 1836, Zilpha Elizabeth abt 1837, William Washington 1838 in AL,Andrew J."Andy"1844 in AL,Cynthia A.abt 1849 in AL, James Jesse Sep 5, 1850 in AL, Francis Marion Aug 10 1852, Shelby County TX and Emma1854 in MS. Mary M. died 1892 in Tishomingo County, MS and is burried in Paradise Cemetery. The only information on her SC birth is the listing in the census records. If this sounds like a match to anyone, I will be glad to share what records I have on the children.
