God bless you , nancie; I wish I was there to help. I am in the process of getting a Timber company to clean up the mess their loggers left in December, 2002 on one acre of the Old Crocker Cemetery near Paris Lafayette Co. Ms.. I would like to remind each of the descendants who carry the name of Bryant , Petty , Quinn & Allen, that we all owe these ancestors respect enough to keep their resting place clean plus it is a reflection on our names when we allow our name to be on places that are not clean and respected. Also, It is a por reflection on the property owner this cemetery is on , in Texas the property owner is by law suppose to at least fence it, plus, it is a environmental hazard to the neighbor because snakes , rodents and ect will find refuge there. Again, God bless you, Nancie, Come on Cousins , lend a hand. Regards Evelyne Crocker Albany, Abilene, and Amarillo Tx.

I went to the BRYANT FAMILY CEMETERY , located at Pacolet, next to the {old} Hill's BBQ place, off Chestnut Street. This place needs some love and attention, to say the least. It's located in a dense briar patch, almost beyond view when the leaves come out on the trees and brush. Many BRYANT'S, ALLEN'S, QUINN'S and PETTY'S are buried there, along with numerous fieldstones. I'm willing to assist with clearing this cemetery if others will help. Need to do it this next week, before it becomes more dense with spring foliage.

DRUGGIST RECOVERS Yorkville, Aug. 4-A case of considerable interest was tried before a jury in Magistrate COMER's court. It was a suit brought for Dr. John B. BOWEN a highly esteemed and reputable druggist of this place, for claim and delivery or 33 bottles of Pabst Malt extract, or the value of it, $8.35, and for $90 damages against the State Constable A. ROSE. About the middle of July a state constable named DRAKE, and a detective, went into the drug store of Dr. BOWEN when he was absent and induced a young boy 14 years of age, who attended the soda fountain, to sell them a couple of drinks of malt. They then reported it to Constable ROSE, who went to the store of Dr. BOWEN and seized his stock of malt, and shipped it to Columbia. At the trial yesterday, a letter was read from District Constable FANT stating that if the malt was sold a it was not to be interfered with but if it was sold as a beverage it was to be treated as a violation of the dispensary law. Dr. BURNEY, the state chemist, was here at the trial. Dr. BURNEY stated that he had bought a bottle of Pabst's malt at a drug store in Columbia the day before, for the purpose of analysis. The jury did not spend much time discussing the case and rendered a verdict in favor of the recovery of the malt or the value and for $25 damages.

Subsequently she wrote a letter to President Samuel SPENCER of the Southern Railway, stating her loss in childish manner, and enclosing a portrait of herself and "Brownie". The train from the north Saturday afternoon brought to the city, care of agent MORRISEY a thoroughbred poodle-the gift of Mr. Spencer to Miss Alice. The child is highly elated over such a splendid substitute for her dead pet. Free Post Lisa

Hi Listers, Sheila Platte was kind enough to transcribe the above named census, and allow me to place it on my website. Please take a look and let me know if you see any errors. She tried to type it the way it was written, so if it says Robins and you know it should be Robbins, we won't correct that. But if she read Gilliam and you KNOW it's Hilliard, well we'll have to look at that :) Here's the link to my website - http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~tamara/genie1.html Enjoy! Tamara

THE FREELANCE Issue 7-29-1904 Death of J.M. Stribling An Ex-Confederate Soldier Passes Away Cavins, July 25. -- J.M. Stribling of this section of the country died last Sunday night at eight o'clock. He was born October 1831 and during his boyhood days he was left an orphan to struggle in the world as best he could. He worked for several years with "Uncle" Tommie Woodruff and there found a few leisure moments to attend school. He was a well read man. He never eccumulated property. At the outbreak of the Civil War he quietly laid aside his work to volunteer at his country's call and join Capt. F. M. Tucker's company and he did service for his country for four long years. He was second sergeant of company E 18th S.C.V, and during long and and exhausted marching which tested the metal of men. He and four of his comrades were always there to answer roll call. During the last days of his sickness he would call for his comrades and said he would soon meet them over the divide. After the war was over he quietly came home and went farming which occupation he dearly loved. He leaves behind a family of grown children and honored name and many friends who will regret to hear of his death. The pallbearers were V.M. Rogers, L.F. Pearson, M.C. Pearson, John Varner, C.J. Fowler, E.J. Cathcart, all ex-confereate soldiers. Thus the life of one ends in deep and impressive service conducted by Rev. L.C. Exell. Lisa Burns

THE MEETING OF THE CONFEDERATE SURVIVORS Introduction This is an analysis of a September, 1891, article published in the Spartanburg Herald and posted on SCSPARTA-L by Nancie O'Sullivan. The article reports on a meeting of the Confederate Veteran survivors of Spartanburg County that were still alive as of Sept. 1891. The article provides me with an excellent framework to take a close look at my data regarding this group of soldiers. Some of the questions that I will address: Are all of the men that were at the meeting in my data? What do I know about them? Death dates of aft 9/91? Do I have (SC) units listed that were not covered by the meeting? How many men do I show that were survivors at this date? I will add notes throughout the article to explain how it compares to my data. I will post it on this board with the hope that some of the data may be of value to someone. I am hoping for feedback regarding errors, incompletes or any data you may have about the Spartans who served the Confederacy THE MEETING OF THE CONFEDERATE SURVIVORS Friday, Sept. 4, 1891, the meeting of the Confederate Survivors took place at the encampment grounds. (What were the encampment grounds?) COL. JOS. WALKER, (Joseph David Walker, 5KBR, PSSK/PSSH, DD 9/8/62, b. 1831, d. 1902, buried Oakwood cem. Spartanburg, wife Anne M.

Chairman made the report. CAPT. A.J. GWYNN, (Unable to identify him) chairman of the by-laws made his report. A plan was proposed by which the survivors of the county might be enrolled. One person was to be appointed from each company organized in this county to get up all the names of all the survivors now in the county. These reports must embrace the name, postoffice, time of enlistment and command in which the soldier was mustered in, all transfers, when wounded, when captured and when imprisoned; When and how discharged from service. This report applies to every Confederate survivor living in the county, although he may have never been in a South Carolina Regiment.(By the 1890s there were many men living in Spartanburg who had served in other states, especially NC. They did not assign anyone to survey them.) The committee had invited MAJOR D.R. DUNCAN (David Robinson Duncan, 13C/Staff, b. 1837, d. bef 1907, b. Oakwood Cem. Spartanburg, W.

Dobbins ADAM BALLENGER. 13C/H/G and Dunlop's Sharpshooters, b. 1/17/44, d. 2/18/1912, b. Inman Baptist Church. Adam was a true hero and the following comes from Landrum's History of Spartanburg. Adam Washington Ballanger Not on Landrum's list, but the following comes from his sketch in the text. Born in 1844 in Inman. Entered the service in Co. C, 13th SCV as a Sergeant, and remained such until 1863. "By order of Gen. Lee, he was promoted for distinguished gallantry on the battlefield." At 2nd Cold Harbor (31 May - 12 June 1864), in a charge against the enemy when the latter was thrown into confusion and were in the act of retreating, young Ballenger, seperating himself from his command and alone, rushed forward and mounted one of the guns of the enemy's artillery. This bold daring caused the driver of the horses conveying the piece to jump off on the tongue. Ballenger immediately, in order to secure the capture of the gun, jumped off the piece , cut loose the traces and unfastened the off-horse, which he mounted. In returning to his command he met his Captain (J. W. Carlisle), who informed him that his brother Joseph was wounded and had been left in the rear. B! allenger then went in quest of his brother. But in the meanwhile a party of the enemy had whipped around one wing of the Confederate forces, but finding they were liable to be cut off retreated, but carried Joseph Ballenger away with them, who was imprisoned at Point Lookout, and soon died. Lt. Ballenger never saw his brother again after he left him before the beginning of the charge. "The gallant conduct on the part of young Ballenger had been witnessed by Gen. McGowan, who sent for him in a day or two afterwards to report to his headquarters. Young Ballenger obeyed the orders and reported. Having no idea for what purpose he was wanted. On arriving at the headquarters of Gen. McGowan, he was congratulated by the General, whop informed him that he had recommended that he be commissioned a 1st Lt. Receiving his commission, he was assigned to Co. H of the 13th regiment, but in a ferw months thereafter he was appointed to one of the companies of Dunlop's Battalion of Lee's Sharpshooters, three companies of which were made up of McGowan's Brigade. Here he remained in command of its first company of this organization, rendering distinguished service until the 27th of March 1865, when he was severely wounded in the arm and hip on the picket line in front of Petersburg. He was conveyed to Richmond, and was there when the surrender at Appomattox took place a few ! days afterward. While in the Jackson Hospital at Richmond still suffering from his wounds, he was taken with typhoid fever, from which he came very near losing his life. During this time he was visited and administered to by three daughter of Gen. R. E. Lee, a daughter of Gen. Ewell, and Miss Rosa Lee Powers. after some four four months of suffering he recovered sufficiently to return home. He was ordered to the State Capitol building to take the oath of allegience. Not relishing this, however, slipped away, bringing with him his army sword, and after walking several miles out of the city he boarded the train, and after many trying difficulties reached his home." The story must have had a happy ending because he married Emma Wingo in 1866, and they had 14 children. Fourteenth Reg.

I do not have any information on this family. I am still not convinced that Caleb Cartee is the father of Ransom Carter. There are others that believe this. The 1850 and 1860 census of Spartanburg, shows a Ransom in the Caleb household; however, it would have him being born in 1838. My Ransom definitely was born in 1844, as shown in all later census records, his death certificate, obits and headstone. I found a Ransom Carter in the 1860 Union Co., NC census which shows him being born in SC in 1844. He was a farm laborer in another families household. I have not been able to track this back to a father in SC. Thanks for all of your help - perhaps Pendleton District will show something. Sally

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Sanford, Nunley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/EgB.2ACI/2614 Message Board Post: I was wondering if anyone could help me find some information on my great-grandparents. Their names are Samuel Sanford (born 1854)and Emma (Massey) Sanford (born 1862). They are on the 1900 Spartanburg Census listed as living in the Beech Springs TWP. Their five children listed were Thomas born 1883, Ceneth born 1886, Grover born 1888, Charley born 1889 and Crawford born 1895. Samuel and Emma were originally from Crabtree TWP, Haywood Co, NC. Emma's mother was Harriet Nunley from the Greenville/Spartanburg Nunley/Nunnelley family. I have narrowed Harriet's father down to Peter Nunley IV, born abt. 1804 in Prince Edward Co., VA and mother Nancy Herndon, born abt. 1811. Peter's father, Peter Nunnelly III, born 1768 moved to Greenville Co, SC after the War of 1812 and brought the Nunley/Nunnelly name to this part of SC. Harriet was disowned by her Nunley family for marrying Lebo Massey. I believe Samuel and Emma Sanford moved to Beech Springs TWP because her Nunley gra! ndparents may have lived there. Any information on Samuel and Emma Sanford would be greatly appreciated; when they died, where they are buried etc. Any information on the Nunley family would be appreciated also!
