    1. [SC] Cowpens Battle anniv observance Jan 12-14
    2. John Robertson
    3. On 13 and 14 January, 2001, the Cowpens NB will hold its annual observance of Cowpens Battle fought there 17 Jan 1781. For those seriously interested in the RevWar in the South, or participants in this battle in particular, this is one event you should seriously consider attending. Patriot forces included men from SC, GA, NC, VA, MD and DE. Brit forces included all the same plus NJ (possibly NY), England, and Scotland. The Cowpens NB is located north of I-85 about 10 miles n. of Spartanburg SC and about 10 miles w. of Gaffney SC. A number of motels can be found at exit 92 (with the peach-shaped water tank that can be seen for miles!) near Gaffney (where the SC Scenic Highway 11 crosses I-85). For those coming from GA, I'd suggest you consider using SC 11 (starts at the SC Welcome Center just as you cross the bridge into SC) either coming or going. It is a beautiful drive, particularly s. of I-26. John Buchanon, author of "The Road to Guilford Courthouse" will be there both days and will participate in panel discussion on Saturday. Other panel participants will be Dr. Christine Swager (wrote the delightful "Black Crows and White Cockades"), Dr. Walter Edgar (wrote a recently released history of SC), Dr. Gregory Massey (wrote a recently released biography of John Laurens). On Sunday, Dr. Larry Babits (author of "Devil of a Whipping", the most exhaustive treatment ever written about the Cowpens Battle) will be there. I expect that he will be persuaded to conduct a guided tour of the battlefield. Dr. Bobby Moss will be there one or both days. He is the author of "Patriots at the Cowpens", and also the recently released annotated diary of loyalist doctor Uzal Johnson, and numerous books relating to individual records of area patriots and loyalists. You can see more about Dr. Moss and his work at http://jrshelby.com/scotia/ Meanwhile, down in the basement, ....! ============================ For the very first time, I will be sharing a project where I have used 2+ gb of map images (topo, old maps, modern maps), OziExplorer software, [http://www.oziexplorer.com/] numerous printed and online resources, and in some cases a gps, to locate and plot as many as possible of the locations identified as significant in the RevWar. Of the some 3000 or so world-wide locations which I have found in various listings, I have plotted coordinates for 80% of them. I have a remaining 'want-list' of 400+ locations, 1/3 of which are in SC, very few of which I can ever expect to locate. The SCROOTS site http://scroots.org/places.html was very useful in that it provided a number of the old maps that I use. E.g., I have the entire 1825 SC Mills Atlas included. [Note: this is still very much a 'work-in-progress'. I can't at this time offer 'lookups' to the general public other than those attending these sessions.] I started with the listing provided on John K. Robertson's site: http://www.281.com/robertson/battles/17752.htm but supplemented it with additional sites and listings. JKR makes a valiant effort to provide a composite and comprehensive listing of such sites, to verify them as possible with printed sources, and list each skirmish/battle only once (noting its name variants). My criteria is much looser. I am essentially creating a digital gazetteer of locations listed *somewhere* as significant to the RevWar, usually but not always a site where armed conflict occurred. My quest of "where is/was it?" is quite tough enough. I have to leave it to others to prove what may or may not have happened there. I have digital images of the 1:250,000 topo maps for *all* US sites plotted. In a couple of sessions, I will do an introductory presentation for about half the time and will devote the remainder of the time to the interests of the audience. We will be using a computer projector in an area that limits the audience to 25 or so. Some things we may consider (dependent on the interests of the audience): -Which continents were *not* involved in the RevWar? -Which states *outside* the original 13 colonies had sites? -What was the northernmost site? Southernmost? Easternmost? Westernmost? -Which major nations were allied with the British in the war? Which took a position in opposition? Less than favorable to British interests? -Were there more sites in northern colonies or in the southern ones? -Where were the battles with the Indians? Where were the Valley Towns or the Lower Towns? -Was the Battle of Fishdam Ford fought on the east bank of the Broad (as two historical markers attest) or on the west side? -Which sites (islands, points, inlets, necks) no longer exist? Which sites (ferries, fords, battle/skirmish) are now inundated by lakes? Which have been covered with city streets? Which significant NC site has been 'preserved' beneath 2 schools and a stadium? -Which area roads from the early 1800s lie beneath modern SC highways? How can we know? -Which sites are now known by a different name? More info, updates on the Cowpens anniversary program should be available at http://www.nps.gov/cowp/ Be sure to click on "in depth". If you can't find the schedule, on request I will send you a copy of the 2-day program. John Robertson

    1. [SC] Dowey of Camden, SC
    2. Charles Henderson
    3. Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/Sponsor/SCRoots/509 Surname: Henry, Dowey, Barfield, Branham, Rabon, Henderson, Peake ------------------------- I have written to Ms. Quillen privately because the message was too long to include in answer to her query. The Camden Doweys are descended from Robert Dowey married to Ann Hannah Henry/Hendry of Bladen Co., NC. Their son Alexander Henry Dowey married Caroline Peake and settled in Lugoff, SC, just outside of Camden. A sister Margaret Elizabeth Dowey married Henry Barfild s/o William Barfied of Fairfield Co., and they settled on the North side of present day Wateree Lake. Of course the lake was not there then. The line which I have, starts with Ann Hannah's grandfather Neal Henry down to my children. Neal was born in Scotland around 1720 and probably never came to America. The only reference I have to him is a family Bible passed down through the Henrys and Doweys. Any one wishing a copy of my data base is welcome to it. I can send it attached to an e-mail as a wordperfect/ .doc file or a .txt file whichever is most convenient. Charles Henderson-Florence, SC
