Does anyone on this list have access to the 1910 Spartanburg census? I am trying to locate Robert Pinkney Pryor. He was born in 1845. He also went by Pink.. Thanks very much. Karen

Hello fellow researchers: I am hoping to find someone that can assist me in locating an obituary for Robert Pinkney Pryor who died in Spartanburg, SC on Nov. 17, 1925. I have searched the online obit indexes and death indexes for him but can not locate him. His son, Jesse H. Pryor, was the informant on Robert's death certificate, stating Robert's parents were John Pryor and Liza Hord both born in NC. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to locate John, Liza and Robert in the 1850 or 1860 census. Robert (sometimes going by Pink or Pinkney) was in Cleveland Co. NC in 1870 and in Spartanburg SC from 1880 until his death. He was in the Civil War and served in the 56th NC Info. Co. F. He was captured and sent to Point Lookout, MD and signed a loyalty oath to the Union and then served in Union Army as a Galvanized Yankee. I was told he was a drawing a pension from Cherokee county in 1917, but I really don't know if it was for his Union service. I could order a Pension Application from NARA if that were the case, but I'm not sure. I could certainly use some help in trying to locate his parents. I thought an obit would reveal some useful information. Hope to hear from someone. Thanks very much. Karen

WAS IT MURDER?-About two years ago a young man peddling on jewelry, called at Mrs. GEORGE's about two miles below Draytonville in Union county, late on Saturday evening. Mrs. GEORGE not wanting anything in his line, directed him to PEELER's store, a short distance down the road. He left about dark, but never reached Peeler's, nor was he ever seen or heard of again. A few days after this a certain Negro in the neighborhood began to spend some money, mostly gold, very freely. He also traded in watches and seemed to have about a dozen. He passed off a smooth old Spanish coin with "Laurens" on one side and J.H. L. on the other. We understand that the suspicions of the neighborhood have been aroused. Foul play is suspected, but the main proof, the dead body is wanting to support this theory. Marcellus LITTLEJOHN, living near the Thickety bridge on the Air Line, is in feeble health. He is now in his 88th year. For more than half a century his erect, robust form has been a familiar sight on the Thickety hills.

BROWN dropped a pocket book in a store or on the streets of our town. It had a few dollars in money and some papers valuable only to himself. Rev. J.W. TARBOURX and his wife will leave Spartanburg Wednesday night for New York, where they will embark for Brazil. . . .For over half an hour Mr. TARBOUX spoke of his conviction as to duty and devotion to this work of the world.

"Carolina Spartan" Issue: May 2, 1883 Eliza PINKSTON died in jail recently where she was serving out a sentence for larceny. She was one of John SHERMAN's principal witnesses in stealing Louisiana in 1876. Sherman and the whole Guitean party should wear crape for Eliza for she was true to her friends. MARRIED: By Thomas P.

On this lot he made 1000 [or 1900] pounds of seed cotton, 20 bushels of corn, and $22.00 worth of melons, beside a large quantity of the latter consumed by the family. Let no one say that mixed farming will not pay. Mr. NEWMAN lives a few miles above Wellford. PERSONAL: --Paul V.

"Carolina Spartan" Issue: April 11, 1883 Last Friday night the dwelling house of Lafayette BRIGGS, ten miles from Union, was burned. Mr. BRIGGS was here that night. The family was sleeping up stairs. The fire originated below. Mrs. BRIGGS and the children had to escape through a window, and after she got the children down to safety she broke her thigh in the attempt to get down. Furniture was all lost. About Jersey Cattle. . . St. Bernard, one of the finest bulls in the South, stands at the head of the Spartanburg Jerseys. He is a magnificent animal from the aristocratic Signal family, large in size, very gentle and manageable and when it comes to "points" he would score very high. He is owned by L.A. MILLS. The farmers who breed their best cows to this animal stand a chance of getting $100. The number of Jerseys in the county registered or subject to registration, is as follows: L.A. MILLS, 4; T. J. MOORE, 7; Frank L. ANDERSIN, 2; Thos. RICHARDSON, 1; H.M. CHAPMAN, 1; Thos. IRWIN, 1; Mr. LUCAS 1; Dr. FLEMING, 1; Jos. WALKER, 1; Total 19. Besides these the following persons each have full-blooded unregistered Jerseys: W.C. CANNON, 1; J.C.ARCHER, 1; Perry CHAPMAN, 1; Thos IRWIN, 4; J.H. MONTGOMERY, 2. Then there is a considerable number of grades, sired by St. Bernard. A neat marble slab has been erected to the memory of Bishop WIGHTMAN in Foster's Chapel in Union county. It has an appropriate inscription. It was at this Church that he Bishop preached his last sermon, and the members of the congregation have paid a deserved tribute to the memory of a good man. The King's Mountain correspondent of the Shelby Aurora has this to say about two Spartanburg men who were boys together on the Pacolet hills. For many years Dr. TRACY has been living near King's Mountain and he is a leading citizen of his neighborhood. Here is the paragraph: Dr. TRACY actually left home last Wednesday morning without his saddlebags. Old man Charley HAMMET of Spartanburg was sick and so when the morning Local passed the Dr. boarded for Cowpens. He came back to King's Mountain Friday afternoon, and told his friends that he had been treated like a Prince down in Spartanburg. He had visited the home of his childhood and had met many warm friends but he was very sorry for one thing-He had become dissatisfied with "Maggie" (his saddle horse). Well said the Dr. "There is no use going around the stump about it." Charles HAMMET has the finest horse I ever laid my eyes upon". "He holds his head so high, sir, that you can't see over it, when you are on his back, and when you put him in a buggy he goes just like a whirlwind, sir." JUDGEMENT FOR FORECLOSURE: L.A.

It covers over one acre of ground and has sunk far in the earth. About 70 feet of it is above ground. It demolished a herdsman's house and family. There is great excitement in the community. Last Friday night the dwelling house of Lafayette BRIGGS, ten miles from Union was burned. Mr. BRIGGS was here that night. The family was sleeping up stairs. The fire originated below. Mrs. BRIGGS and the children had to escape through a window, and after she got the children down to safety she broke her thigh in the attempt to get down. Furniture was all lost. Issue: April 25, 1883 J.T.H. WHITE was severely hurt Monday evening while riding from the depot to his home at the mill in a wagon. The mule took sudden fright about St. John's college, and the end of an umbrella on which Mr. WHITE was resting his chin as he was riding along was forced through his jaw injuring the bone and breaking several of his teeth. His friends hope he will soon recover. The Scientific American, a very reliable paper, gives the following recipe as a sure cure for corns. As the remedy is very simple, if any of our readers are afflicted with corns it would probably be well for them to give it a trial. "Take one-fourth cup of strong vinegar; crumble it into some bread. Let it stand half an hour, or until if softens into a good poultice. Then apply on retiring at night. In the morning the soreness will be gone and the corn can be picked out. If the corn is a very obstinate one it may require two or more applications to effect a cure." free post Lisa

Hi I am looking for information on the following families 1820 Fed. Census page 264- district unknown Morris,William 01020100301040000 Jones, Jon. 10010113201020000 Jonathan Jones was found in 1810 in the same area (page 203) . William was not listed. All this fits what we think about our Jones-Morris family. If I am correct Lewis Jones was enumerated in the 1820 census in Spartanburg page 241. I believe he is the son of Jonathan Jones and he married William Morris daughter Elizabeth Wright Morris. Lewis and Elizabeth Jones and her Father and family then migrated to NE Georgia. Also searching for any link the Jones family had to a Merriman family. Would appreciate any help or directions. I am planning a trip to the area next week, is the county records available at the courthouse or would I be better off to visit the archives? Thanks , Vicky Genealogy- chasing your own tale.

"Carolina Spartan" Issue: April 4, 1883 The Indians are said to be on the war path in Arizona. They are murdering whites and committing depredations generally. Col. James L. CORLEY, a native of South Carolina, a graduate of West Point, and quarter master general of the Army of Northern Virginia, committed suicide at Hampton, Va., last week. The trial and defense of Sam WALKER, an old colored man, and a pronounced adherent to the Radical party of this county, deserves more than a passing notice. Sam WALKER had a bad character to begin with. The family is bad. One son murdered an aged and infirm minister in Union county. This was a cold blooded deed. A daughter is now in the penitentiary for child murder. Even the colored people shunned and dreaded them. When Mose HAWKINS was murdered with an ax as he was sleeping in a bed with Sam's daughter, the Negroes became very indignant and threatened lynching. Their animosity continues to the present time. During imprisonment Sam broke down completely. He was not able to walk from the jail to the Court House without help. He came to trial without money, friends, or attorney. At his request Messrs. E.H. BOBO and J.S.R. Thomson were assigned to defend him. They had no help and from the nature of the case could get none. The defendant could make no suggestions to them. His own children were witnesses against him. His attorneys worked most diligently for the old prisoner. They tried to elicit every fact from the State's witnesses, for they had none of their own, and now after conviction they have appealed to the Supreme Court. This they have done without the hope of reward. It shows that here in the South, even in the same State, where BREWSTER and his Assistants are hounding down white men with the distorted evidence of colored men, a poor old, despised Negro, has a fair trial and the ablest counsel that can be found. It also shows another phase of our society. Ten years ago when a democratic lawyer defended a Negro, some of the white people found much fault with him. Today our best lawyers defend Negroes and no white man blames them. In Sam WALKER's case the Negroes of the community blame the lawyers for working for him, and think he ought to have gone to the gallows without a defense. COURT CONTINUED: Last Tuesday the case of the State against Henry STEPHENS for the murder of Bob SUMNER was taken up, Messrs. McCRAVY and BOBO being counsel for the defendant. The jury rendered a verdict of acquittal. The cases against the other Stephens Negroes was nol prosed. The case of Mont GILREATH was called up Wednesday. He was rather a good looking young man, not over twenty years old. He did not look like a hardened criminal and it was sad to see a young man of good family indicted for stealing a hundred dollars from a safe. Increased interest was thrown around his trial, because Mr. CLARK who was clerking in the store of Floyd & Rodgers at the time of the theft and he was suspected by Mr. RODGERS of taking the money or knowing something about it. After the discovery of the theft Mr. RODGERS came to town to see his partner, Mr. FLOYD, and they result of this visit was that Captain ALLEY went back with Mr. RODGERS to assist in getting the money. That night or next day Mr. CLARK borrowed the money from Mr. KING with whom he boarded and replaced it, stating all the time he had not stolen the money. After some days suspicion rested on GILREATH and he was brought back to this State on a requisition form the Governor. The trial lasted two days. A most exhaustive examination of the witnesses was made. Messrs. SANDERS and BOBO made an earnest and able effort to save the character of the defendant. The Solicitor was just as earnest in bringing out all the facts of the case and representing the State. The jury did not get the case until Thursday afternoon, and after being out a short time they handed in a verdict of guilty. Friday morning the prisoners were brought into the Court House to receive their sentences. Broom FICH, a young white man guilty of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature was sentenced to pay a fine of $15.00 or go to the county jail for two months. Whiskey was at the bottom of his crime. Sam MOSELY, colored, convicted of carrying a concealed razor, was fined $15.00 or in default of payment, will go to the penitentiary four months and forfeit his razor. Pat BASKINS and Sarah Balow, colored, for maliciously and cruelly beating a little boy, a grandson of Sarah, were sent to the penitentiary for two years. This was an unusual case. The beating was without cause and the little boy was almost skinned alive. They then applied salt and red pepper in water. Lafayette DAVENPORT, a well-to-do looking country Negro, pleaded guilty to carrying a pistol concealed and promptly paid over his fine of $10.00 to Captain TRIMMIER, after which he made tracks for his plow. Elias BOMAR, a stout young Negro, who ought to make a good living by honest work, pleaded guilty to stealing an ox, and he was sent to the penitentiary one year, the lightest punishment permitted for this crime. Oscar BOOKER, a sickly looking colored man from the upper part of the county, was convicted of the crime of sheep stealing. He was [cut off] free post Lisa
