Can someone help me? In the book "Petitions for Land from the South Carolina Council Journals" Vol. V: 1757-1765 by Brent H. Holcomb, on pg. 262, I understand Owen FINEY is listed as purchasing land in 1765. Two lines up was James FINLEY. James FINLEY also bought land in 1766, 1770, 1771 and 1772 (pg. 264). Where can I find out more about this? Are there any records that would give any more info on this that might be helpful to establish family connections? My gr.gr.grandfather is Owen FINDLEY (1796-1870), b. SC, and I'm wondering if the Owen FINEY above might possibly have been a FINDLEY/FINLEY, rather than FINEY. We have a brick wall in trying to establish the parentage of Owen FINDLEY and his brothers Charles, Ed, Evan and Benjamin, so we're grabbing any possible clue. Thanks for any suggestions. Ruth Jaeger

I would like to recommend that you all go to this site: http://www.migrations.org/ and submit the migration of your families. This will help us all see patterns of migration and perhaps find families who migrated together. Ruth Jaeger Researching FINDLEY in SC, Talbot Co GA, & TX.

FTM cd # 517 - Early South Carolina Settlers, 1600s-1800s This Family Archive includes the following books: * "Index to Wills of Charleston County, South Carolina, 1671-1868" - Charleston Free Library Since the only probate court in South Carolina was located in Charleston until 1782, it can be said that (with few exceptions) all wills recorded in South Carolina prior to 1782 are covered by this index. For each of the approximately 10,000 individuals referenced, you'll learn the page number and volume of their original record. * "Jury Lists of South Carolina, 1778-1779" - Ge Lee C. Hendrix & Morn M. Lindsay Here you'll find a list of South Carolina jurors for 1778 and 1779. These jury lists prove legal evidence of residence, property qualification, and civil service during colonial and early statehood periods. Jurors were named in the parish of their residence. Men paying at least five pounds tax the previous year were named as Grand Jurors as well as Petit Jurors for their parish or district. Those men paying a lesser tax were named as Petit Jurors only. * "Index to the 1800 Census of South Carolina" - Brent H. Holcomb Referencing approximately 30,000 heads of households, this index is the most accurate and exhaustive listing of early South Carolina residents available. A map, expressly created for this publication enables the researcher to pinpoint the boundaries of the districts in which their ancestors lived. * "South Carolina Naturalizations 1783-1850" - Brent H. Holcomb Here you'll find abstracts of the records of approximately 7,500 persons who were naturalized in the state of South Carolina between the years 1783 and 1850. Since the information comes from a great variety of sources (including declarations of intent, petitions and actual citizenship certificates, etc.), the information that you'll learn can vary. In general, however, some or all of the following information is available: * Name; * Country of origin; * Place of residence in the U.S.; * Occupation; * Date of arrival in the U.S., * Date of application or admission. * "North Carolina Land Grants in South Carolina" - Brent H. Holcomb The border between North and South Carolina was in dispute until 1772 and, as a result, North Carolina issued more than 1,000 grants for land in an area that is now South Carolina. Land granted in the North Carolina counties of Bladen, Anson, Mecklenburg, and Tryon are the present-day South Carolina counties of Marlboro, Chesterfield, Lancaster, York, Chester, Union, Cherokee, Spartanburg, Greenville, Laurens, and Newberry. The records of these North Carolina grants (plats and warrants for the most part) form the basis of this work. For each land grant, you'll learn: * Name of the grantee; * File, entry or grant number; * Relevant book and page of the original record books; * Location of the grant; * Names of owners of adjoining property; * Dates of the various instruments. * "Indexes to the County Wills of South Carolina" - Martha L. Houston A standard reference work for South Carolina, all pre-1853 South Carolina counties are covered except for the counties of Beaufort, Chesterfield, Colleton, Georgetown, Lancaster, Lexington, and Orangeburg whose wills were destroyed by fire and were not included in the original Work Projects Administration transcripts from which this work derives. Testators are listed with references to the volume and page numbers of the books in which copies of their wills are recorded. * "Passenger Arrivals at the Port of Charleston, 1820-1829" - Brent H. Holcomb Official passenger lists for the Port of Charleston exist only for the years 1820-1829. Here, you'll find information on the several thousand people who managed to slip into Charleston through that relatively narrow window of time. Most of the immigrants were young men from Great Britain and Ireland who were unskilled farmers and laborers. The lists are arranged in the order in which they are found in the original and all names in the lists are accessible by means of the name index at the back of the volume. The data in each entry is arranged in tabular format and includes: * Name of vessel; * Name of passenger; * Age; * Gender; * Date of arrival; * Occupation; * Place of origin; * Country which he intends to inhabit. * "A Compilation of the Original Lists of Protestant Immigrants to South Carolina, 1763-1773" - Janie Revill The 4,000 immigrants listed in this volume were Protestant refugees from Europe who were encouraged to come to South Carolina by an act passed by the General Assembly of the Colony on July 25, 1761, called the Bounty Act. Arranged chronologically and taken verbatim from the original Council Journals, 1763-1773, the information given in the certificates and petitions for lands under the Bounty Act includes: * Date of certificate or petition; * Location and acres granted; * Age; * Country of origin; * Name of the vessel on which they arrived. * "Heads of Families at the First Census of the United States Taken in the Year 1790: South Carolina" - United States Bureau of the Census

Does anyone have a copy of Family Archive 517? A CD of early SC settlers. Janet Nielson Jilote

Dear Temple's researchers and interested parties: Joyce Temples Barnett, Author of "Temple People" printed in 1988, revised 1995, is preparing to print a second book expanding on the first book and incorporating some of my research on the South Carolina connections. One of the key factors into determining the cost of the book is ascertaining the number to be printed. The more demand, the greater costs are divided up, reducing the over all price of the book. She is producing this as a non-profit offering and is fronting the costs of printing herself. She is in the process of getting the indexing completed. She is anticipating to hard bind the book as well. The book will sell for $50-75 depending on demand. It appears that her book will around 1000 pages. To aid her in establishing the demand, interested parties may contact me with requests. Please include the total number of copies interested. Listservers, libraries, genealogical societies, and research groups, please poll your members and post this if you would. Her first printing sold 300 copies initially and another 200 over ten years. With the access to the web and more intersted researcher involved, we expect the demand to be much higher. Joyce is hoping to get a good measure of the interest, since she will be investing thousands of dollars to bring this book to printing, not to mention thousands of hours of research!

Hello some expert on SC records. I am trying to locate records of sales, purchases, surveys of land transactions during the period of the Revolutionary War. I am particularly interested in what was old 96 District, later Abbeville, Edgefield. Seeking a parcel of land on Ninety Six Creek near the Saluda River and the Abbeville county line. In one book on researching in SC I saw a note that the government suspended land transactions during this period. If so, when would they have been recorded and where? I have looked at later records for these areas and in Charleston which are on microfilm but still am not finding this time period's records. Hoping someone who is familiar with SC records can assist me with this problem. Our library has Mr. Holcomb's books but I have not found any reference to these particular records mentiioned in them. Perhaps I have overlooked any notation with my very tired eyes.

I would appreciate help with William WADE Jr who d. in 1830 SC. I suspect he died in Spartanburg Co SC but no proof of that yet. William m. Mary Polly VAUGHN and both were b. in VA. Did William WADE Jr. die in Spartanburg Co SC? Was William WADE III their only child? Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone have anything on the William KING who appears on the 1830 Spartanburg SC census? Living with William KING is his wife and an E. WADE. William and his wife were b. bet. 1760 and 1770 while E. WADE is 26 to 45. I think the E. WADE is Elijah WADE b. abt. 1804 SC. This William KING may be the one who was active in the Big Creek Church in the 1790s.
