The nearest VA office to that cemetery can help you.The person whom these people were kind too.They took their Civial War records and turned them into the VA. Louise

Margie, call the local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV). Or the local chapter of the UDC (United Daughters of the Confederacy). One or both should be able to give you the information you are seeking.

...seems I heard the Veterans Administration still provides headstones for veterans. Those veterans from the conflict between 1860 and 1865 may receive a US or Confederate tombstone...I think the federal stones are rounded, and the Confederate ones are pointed on top. You might contact them for more details. I bet the SCV or UDC could be present at a ceremony if you requested a neighboring SCV Camp or USC equivalent.

There are two Benjamin Cason's residing in SC around the same time - one lives in Abbeville and I believe is married to an Amelia. The other resides in Laurens Co. and is listed in the 1800 Laurens census with many family members (no slaves). The Benjamin Cason living in Abbeville is listed as Benjamin C Cason. Do you know which of these Benjamin's is yours?

I am posting this query for Jesse Cason who is now 90 years of age and lives in Texas. At this time in his life he is not confortable tackling the computer, but has been searching for many years for the parents of his Benjamin Cason. This is what we know: Benjamin Cason born ca 1788 in South Carolina. He was on the 1840 and 1850 Meriwether Co., Georgia census and the 1860 Polk Co., Georgia census. His wife is Sarah (maiden name unknown) born ca 1798 in Georgia. His known children are Elihu born ca 1826 in SC, Jane born ca 1829 in GA, Benjamin born ca 1830 in GA and Frances born ca 1833 in GA. Have no information on Jane or Benjamin, but Elihu was in Dallas Co., Texas by 1880 and many of his descendants are in Dallas County now. Frances married John Mason and I believe she died in Polk Co., GA before 1880. In 1850 Larkin Cason born ca 1776 is visiting in the home of Benjamin. This leads me to believe he was a brother or cousin to Benjamin. Fairly certain this is the Larkin Cason that married Mary Moseley and lived in Abbeville Co., SC. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Betty Cason Rome, Georgia

Hendricks(on) DNA Project Update 11242005 Note: 23 Hendricks Groups with results from 43 of 48 posted. (Some test results from the first 43 not completed.) Go To http://www.familytreedna.com/public/hendrickson/<http://www.familytreednacom/public/hendrickson/> for in depth information and lineages. Summary 1. Pamunkey (VA) Hendrick Nordic Haplotype instead of Western Europe. DNA profile established. A fourth DNA participant begins to match to this group (25 markers). 2. Frontier Hendricks Nordic Haplotype instead of Western Europe, Two Mile Creek, Spartanburg District, SC Hendricks group identified as Frontier Hendricks. Also Isaac Hendrix group that went into Franklin Co., GA. DNA profile Established. Another DNA participant matches all 37 markers. Waiting on 26222's 25-37 marker results which should solidify two sons of Albertus Hendrixson. 3. Daniel Hendrick of MA Nordic Haplotype instead of Western Europe; DNA profile Established. A third DNA participant matches this group but does not have family lineage yet. 4. Proof of two Albemarle Hendricks groups early on in Eastern NC? See 39586 and 28876. 5. Moses Hendricks m Susanna of SC not Frontier Hendricks. Eastern Europe Descent, DNA Profile Established. 6. James Hendricks m Jane of SC not Frontier Hendricks. Western Europe Descent, DNA Profile Established. 7. Nordic descent dominate group of Hendricks as to date 10/04/2005 8. Newberry County/District SC Hendricks before 1800 all four groups identified via DNA. Searching to identify another group found there shortly after 1800; Garrett Hendrick wife Ruth Family. 9. The only Lexington Co., SC Hendricks to date does not match to Frontier Hendricks per Dr. J. S. Davenports' research conclusions in Frontier Hendricks. A Lexington SC Hendrix DNA participant is submitting a DNA sample. Lexington, SC DNA participant 37994 has K-2 Haplotype from Lexington, SC. 10. A Jabesh Hendrick of NC to Edgefield Co., SC to Bullock Co., GA does not match prior Albemarle Hendricks participant nor the Daniel Hendrick of MA even though a good match up through 25 marker tests. A second DNA participant is matching the first Jabesh Hendricks of NC descendant so far (25 markers) R1a = Eastern Europe, Russia, Belarus, Slovakia, etc R1b = Western Europe, British Isles, Holland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, etc. K-2 = M70+ M3- The K lineage (some call the founding fathers Haplotype) is an old lineage presently found only at low frequencies in Africa, Asia, and in the Middle East. This specific line is found at low frequency in southern Europe, Northern Africa, and the Middle East. Thomas Jefferson has a K-2 Haplotype , Happy Thanksgiving God Bless.

For all..... the way to combat this problem is the same as with trees shared with you by other researchers. Get the info., then prove the data that is no sources, or read the sources for yourself to make sure they are valid. Know it is difficult when you do not live in the area, but census records, etc can go a long way in later research to prove or disprove family links. Those are getting more and more available on line. To Rex, I have some Lipscomb data, all not my work and all not proven, that I will share if you get in touch with me personally, and not thru the list.

Grandpa Samuel Reily had 12 children, as you can see. I have heard my father, Wesley Reily, say that Great Grandpa Robert Reily came from Ireland to South Carolina and finally settled here where I live now. I live in the house that he built in 1820 and I am using water from the old brick well that he made. Grandpa Samuel Reily had 12 children and only 6 left descendents. They were Isaac, Martha, John Y., Cantey, Morgan and Wesley. John Y. I believe is your grandfather and Wesley was my father. He had 13 children and four are living now. I am the only Reily living here in Wilkerson County. I would be glad to have you come up and see me. I live two miles from Centreville, Miss. and will meet you at Centreville any time you will come.

Reily's letter he says that Robert came to Miss. Terr. This is a mistake. Robert died in So. Car. and Samuel is the on that came to Miss. and built the house. Some of the property and the old home site are still in the family. The old grave yard is on this property with head stones. Some of his dates are not correct. I think that he wrote them down wrong. We know this from some other documents, other Bibles, and letters. I have a very good lead on where the Bible is that he used and I plan to go see it in the very near future. I will post other letters as I get the time. Wain Reily
