Ann: I am sorry to be so long getting back to you! We went to our younger daughters to have Thanksgiving with them and their children. Got home yesterday to find my mailbox had overflowed and several messages had bounced. RootsWeb had kicked me off of two lists that I administer! Also had problems with the University of Alabama where I teach an online course. Who on earth would expect students to submit lesssons over Thanksgiving weekend? I have the deed and a bootbox full of papers from that estate administration but I had not seen the memorial. Thank you for that. I have always believed that Jane/Jean was a descendant of the Lawsons but I have begun to think nobody is ever going to be able to prove it. Actually, I cannot even prove that my Thomas Wright Jr. is a son of Thomas and Mary Thomson though I can build a good circumstantial case for that kinship. What is your line? Mickey -----Original Message----- From: scsparta-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:scsparta-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Ann Parker Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2007 5:03 PM To: scsparta@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCSPARTA] MOORE Family - Spartanburg, S.C. Mickey, I, too, descend from Dr. Andrew Thomson. I believe there might be a connection to the Moore's through Dr. Andrew's wife Jane but to date it is only supposition and perhaps to Dr. Andrew, too, on Jane's mother's side if I can prove this! I've done a thorough search of the Moore's and Barry's and have their ancestry pretty solid hoping to fill in the gaps of this connection but have no solid proof to date. On 21 Apr 1777 Dr. Thomson bought land from Hugh Lawson. The deed says: Hugh Lawson of State of North Carolina, County of Rowan, to Andrew Thomson late of the province of Pennsylvania, County of York, Township of Mount Pleasant, but now residing and being in the State of South Carolina, District of Ninety Six, for L700 SC money, tract granted to Hugh Lawson 23 Feb 1754, 600 acres at the time it was surveyed in the province of North Carolina in Anson County but since the continuation of the line between the said provinces is fallen into South Carolina and District of Ninety Six on the South Side of Broad River on Lawson's Creek, a branch of Tyger River, recorded in the Auditor Generals Office 23 Feb 1754 by Richard Lyon, Pro Auditor and said patent is further recorded in South Carolina, Barkley County, in Auditor General in Book M No. 12, page 112, 20 Feb 1773 by Richard Lambston, Deputy Auditor in Charleston, at the time said land was surveyed was bounded on all sides ! by vacant land but is now adj. land surveyed for Robert Miller, Charles Moore and Roger Lawson. Signed Hugh Lawson (l.s.) Wit: Andrew Barry, John Thomson. He died on 25 Aug 1804 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Nov. 23, 1798, 306 acres to Andrew Thomson in Spartanburg Co., on the north side of the North Fork of Tygar River, bound by lands of WILLIAM SHERLY, Andrew Thomson, Alberties Bright, and N. Fork of the Tygar River. This definitely shows a tie with the Lawson family. I believe that Jane was a grand daughter of Hugh but just don't have proof. I had decided she was the missing daughter of Roger, s/o Hugh but this other researcher thinks Jane was born earlier than I had her to be which would put her born before the married of Roger and Hannah Thomson Lawson. If Jane is the d/o Roger then she was a cousin to Dr. Andrew Thomson, and her husband through Hannah Thomson Lawson. When in Washington DC at the DAR library I found a booklet on the Lawson family and this Lawson history admitted there was a daughter no one could recall. I think she was Jane and when she married Dr. Andrew and her family moved on to Alabama she became only a memory to them. Jane Thomson, widow Spt. SC of Andrew Thomson for $500 sold 160 ac on N Tygar part of two grants to Hugh Lawson (...(1) bought Feb 23, 1754 and (2) 20 May 1764 )to Charles Moore. Have you seen this Memorial? Jackie found these in Vidalia including this and another one by Charles Moore to Andrew Thomson. They may not have ever lived in N.C. because of changing the lines between N. and S. Carolina made some of the first land records recorded in N.C. I know some of them that were recorded as living in Mecklengburg Co. N.C. were later changed to York Co., S.C. Anyway? Was he Hugh Lawson II or the first Hugh Lawson? I figure he was the 2nd one, brother of Roger and Uncle to Jane Lawson who married Andrew Thomson? (Typed as written) Memorial exhibited by Hew Lawson, to be registered in Auditor's office.....600 acres, as supposed when ran out to be in Anson County in the Province of North Carolina on the South of Broad River on Lawson's Creek, including a tree marked H L. Beginning at a red oak 7 running So. 48, West 40, East 400 poles to a stake; thence 48 east, 240 poles to a red oak on the north side of said creek and being a branch of Little Riber; t! hence to beginning. Originally granted 23rd. Feb 1754 by the Honorable Matthew Rowan, Esq. then resident of North Carolina, to Hew Lawson. Quit rent 3/ Sterling pr 4/ Proclamation money per hundred acres, commancing two years from date, but by a late resurvey of the boundary line between No. and So. Carolina, the above tract falls within the Province of So. Carolina, Craven County, and therefore the Memorialist requires this, his memorial, to be entered in the Auditor General's office of this Province. In witness whereof he here unto set his hand 20 Feb 1773. Delivered for the Memorialist to Andrew Thomson Certified by R. L. (XII, p. 112) Why else would Andrew be buried in the Moore cemetery unless there was kinship there? I believe Jane is there, too, but doesn't have a headstone. Brent HOlcombes' book also mentioned these grants to the Lawson's that became the property of Dr. Andrew & Jane. I do know that the "unknown" daughter, if Jane, would descend like this thus making Jane related to the Moore's as well as Dr. Andrew.

James Moore and Rachel Black were married in Virginia. Before coming to North Carolina the Blacks lived in Augusta County, VA.) .. 3 Alexander Moore b: Bef. 1745 in Pennsylvania d: Bef. 08 Dec 1813 in York County, South Carolina Yorkville Enquirer, Thursday, January 27, 1870, page 1, Column 1:Reminiscences of York, by A Septuagenarian ALEXANDER MOORE Alexander Moore, of whom I have spoken as one of the colleagues of Hill in 1791, was the son of James Moore and Rachel Black, his wife. They were among the original Scotch-Irish settlers of York. Alexander was born in Pennsylvania, being a child several years of age when his father removed to this state. He was the eldest of a large family of girls and boys. His parents, though poor, determined, as was quite common with the early Presbyterians, to educate one of their sons for the ministry. Naturally, the election fell on the first-born for these advantages. He was early sent to the "larnin," and had all the opportunities of education that early period offered. A natural taste for literature, united with a good mind, made him a hard student, and, for his time, a very finished scholar. He graduated at the College at Charlotte, North Carolina, about the beginning of the Revolutionary war, felt no calling to preach, and the contest waging between the colonies and the mother country seemed to indicate to him the line of present duty. His father, too, being a good Whig, as were all the Scotch-Irish, saw his country's need and was reconciled to the abortion of his long cherished desire by his son's volunteering to serve his country. Young Moore joined Colonel Lacey's partisans and became the intimate friend of that gallant officer the length and strength of whose attachment, an anecdote, which I have often hear, will show: "Years after the war, on one occasion, Moore was a candidate for the legislature from the Pinckney district. Lacey, at the polls in Chester, would station himself at a convenient spot and as men approached, would inquire for whom they intended to vote. If for the opponent of Moore, Lacey would try his power of persuasion; and being a man of pleasant address and personal popularity, often, by this means, would turn the ticket. But not succeeding in this wise, he would roundly swear, he'd whip any man that didn't vote for 'Alec Moore.'" His bravery and vigor were so well known, few cared to test them and he carried his point and his friend's election at that precinct. Mr. Moore was one of the brave little band of patriots who attacked Houck at Williamson's, where our men killed the Philadelphia lawyer and routed his command completely, with hardly one man to his three. In the division of the spoils, a very fine grey mare fell to the share of Alexander Moore, which he rode many a day in the rounds of Lacey's "Rangers." In 1781 (I think) he was a lieutenant and was in command of the company that guarded the bridge at the battle - near Biggin Church - of Quinby Bridge. About 1783 he was elected sheriff of Camden district (under the constitution of 1778) by the senate and house of representatives to serve for two years. He was re-elected to this office more than once. In 1789 he declined a renomination and was succeeded by Joseph Brevard (afterward Judge Brevard), of Camden. In 1784 he married a Miss Dorcas Ervin and settled on "Big Fishing Creek" on a plantation now owned by his grandson, William S. Moore. By this marriage he had four sons and four daughters. His wife died early and left him with a young and helpless family on his widowed hands. She was a beautiful woman and I remember being told by an old citizen that in those days it was customary for ladies to accompany their husbands and brothers to the husting; as at the election she attended, she was always sure to win, by her popularity of manner, many a vote for her husband. After the death of his first wife, he bought a plantation from Edward Lacey, father of Colonel Lacey already alluded to, 12 miles from Yorkville (now owned by a grandson - Alfred Moore), to which he removed. Soon after he intermarried with Miss Catherine Marion. By this marriage there was no issue. She survived him many years. In 1789 he was a candidate from Pinckney district for the general assembly, but was beaten. The cause of his defeat shows the devotion of our early people to their pastors. While a candidate, Mr. Moore on some occasion that required it, expressed freely his opposition to Rev. McCarra, remaining in charge of the Bethesda church, of which congregation he was a member, from the habitual indulgence of the preacher in drunkenness. Relations and friends and neighbors held up their hands in pious horror. To speak evil of the Lord's anointed was a heresy beyond their ken and were Alec Moore twice as near and dear, they could not send such a man to represent them in the legislature. Thus, his own section of Chester and York failed him and he was left out. Before the election of new members came, the minister had too evidently fallen from grace for his flock to be blind of his faults; for one day when intoxicated, he had ascended the pulpit to try and perform his sacred offices. In the revulsion of feeling "that Moore was right and they were wrong," to repair that wrong, to a man, they came forward and voted for him on the next election. This, united with the forcible style of his friend, General Lacey, secured him a seat by a large majority, In 1792, he with Hill and McLanahan, were elected the three county court justices for York County - afterward called "district." They continued in office in office until 1799, when these courts were abolished. He was sent again that year to the legislature and in 1800 was elected Ordinary, that office being then established. This position he held till his death, keeping his office at his plantation, where he lived, 12 miles from the village; but for the convenience of the people, always spending court week and salesdays at the court house. He was often called upon to perform the marriage ceremony and I recall a scene I witnessed at his house 65 years ago and relate it to show how a "big wedding" was managed in those days: Between 10 and 11 o'clock in the morning, some of the party descried a cavalcade of apparently 35 or 40 persons coming up the road which ran past Mr. Moore's residence. In front rode two men and then behind them two and two, a gentleman and a lady; the entire crowd paired off, and thus strung out, magnified their appearance and presented as an imposing a spectacle as possible. As they drew near enough to distinguish faces, the Moores recognized in the first gentleman and lady, a couple who were to be married that day, and though no warning had been given, knew the meaning of the escort. About 100 yards from the house, the procession halted. The foremost riders were the "bottle carriers,"turned their horses and rode back the whole length of the line (one on the left and the other on the right), stopping at each couple, beginning of course with the bridal pair, presenting simultaneously to each lady and her escort the bottle of whisky; this every one kissed in turn, all remaining quiet, reining in their respective steeds till the "creature comforts" were partaken of by all, and the carriers resumed their places in front. This evolution accomplished, the "goodly company" moved on. When they were in front of the house, they entered the large gate and rode around the house three times, the men firing off pistols, loaded with powder, at which the horses of the ladies, as well as those of the gentlemen, would rear and pitch; but female equestrians of that day were not easily thrown, and no accident occurred to mar the pleasures of the occasion. After completing the circle of the house, each time there would be a pause, for the "bottle carriers" to make their rounds. The third time they dismounted, hitched their horses, formed and came into the house. Squire Moore went forward to the piazza to receive them. They announced their desire for him to marry their candidates for the holy state. He invited them in and performed the ceremony with due solemnity. After which - the bridal party, being almost all of them acquaintances and neighbors - the tables and chairs were cleared out of the hall. Some one among them, being a musician, had brought his instrument, and they commenced what would be literally "the light fantastic toe" to the present generation. The "pigeon wing" and the "flying shufflers" tramped to the merry measures of the fiddler's highland fling and Irish jig - "Nae cotillion brent frae France,But hornpipes, jigs, strathspeys, reels,Put life and mettle in their heels" ; till dinner hour approached. Then they began their arrangements for leaving. Of course, the Squire must accompany them to the feast at the home of the groom's mother. At first he declined; but as it was about two miles to go, with this and some other accessions to their numbers, they remounted and fell into line. The "bottle carriers," with flask replenished, again handed the exhilarating beverage to all, three cheers were given for the new married folks, and away they cantered with merry hearts and good appetite to partake of the abundant cheer prepared by old Mrs. Brown. "How ridiculus!" does some young maiden exclaim? In three generations from now, will not our fashions be as "outre"? What think you would your granddame feel were they to glance in at a modern party and see you whirling by with some gay cavalier, in one of the favorite round dances? I hope the girls in a good time coming, will not only cry at the description of them, "how absurd; but how disgusting!" Squire Moore was a man always before the people, and filled the various offices of trust reposed in him, with ability to his state, and satisfaction to his community. His manners were urbane and his hospitality unbounded. He had a fine person, commanding, almost stern in appearance, and was one of the few men in his day who always wore a black broadcloth suit, ruffled shirt and high-top beaver hat. He had some peculiar religious notions, but was orthodox in his faith and died a triumphant death on Dec. 14, 1813 in the 58th year of his age. He was buried in the Bethesda graveyard, of which church he for years had been a member. ............Obit...York Co. S.C.

I believe there might be a connection to the Moore's through Dr. Andrew's wife Jane but to date it is only supposition and perhaps to Dr. Andrew, too, on Jane's mother's side if I can prove this! I've done a thorough search of the Moore's and Barry's and have their ancestry pretty solid hoping to fill in the gaps of this connection but have no solid proof to date. On 21 Apr 1777 Dr. Thomson bought land from Hugh Lawson. The deed says: Hugh Lawson of State of North Carolina, County of Rowan, to Andrew Thomson late of the province of Pennsylvania, County of York, Township of Mount Pleasant, but now residing and being in the State of South Carolina, District of Ninety Six, for L700 SC money, tract granted to Hugh Lawson 23 Feb 1754, 600 acres at the time it was surveyed in the province of North Carolina in Anson County but since the continuation of the line between the said provinces is fallen into South Carolina and District of Ninety Six on the South Side of Broad River on Lawson's Creek, a branch of Tyger River, recorded in the Auditor Generals Office 23 Feb 1754 by Richard Lyon, Pro Auditor and said patent is further recorded in South Carolina, Barkley County, in Auditor General in Book M No. 12, page 112, 20 Feb 1773 by Richard Lambston, Deputy Auditor in Charleston, at the time said land was surveyed was bounded on all sides by vacant land but is now adj. land surveyed for Robert Miller, Charles Moore and Roger Lawson. Signed Hugh Lawson (l.s.) Wit: Andrew Barry, John Thomson. He died on 25 Aug 1804 in Spartanburg County, South Carolina. Nov. 23, 1798, 306 acres to Andrew Thomson in Spartanburg Co., on the north side of the North Fork of Tygar River, bound by lands of WILLIAM SHERLY, Andrew Thomson, Alberties Bright, and N. Fork of the Tygar River. This definitely shows a tie with the Lawson family. I believe that Jane was a grand daughter of Hugh but just don't have proof. I had decided she was the missing daughter of Roger, s/o Hugh but this other researcher thinks Jane was born earlier than I had her to be which would put her born before the married of Roger and Hannah Thomson Lawson. If Jane is the d/o Roger then she was a cousin to Dr. Andrew Thomson, and her husband through Hannah Thomson Lawson. When in Washington DC at the DAR library I found a booklet on the Lawson family and this Lawson history admitted there was a daughter no one could recall. I think she was Jane and when she married Dr. Andrew and her family moved on to Alabama she became only a memory to them. Jane Thomson, widow Spt. SC of Andrew Thomson for $500 sold 160 ac on N Tygar part of two grants to Hugh Lawson (...(1) bought Feb 23, 1754 and (2) 20 May 1764 )to Charles Moore. Have you seen this Memorial? Jackie found these in Vidalia including this and another one by Charles Moore to Andrew Thomson. They may not have ever lived in N.C. because of changing the lines between N. and S. Carolina made some of the first land records recorded in N.C. I know some of them that were recorded as living in Mecklengburg Co. N.C. were later changed to York Co., S.C. Anyway? Was he Hugh Lawson II or the first Hugh Lawson? I figure he was the 2nd one, brother of Roger and Uncle to Jane Lawson who married Andrew Thomson? (Typed as written) Memorial exhibited by Hew Lawson, to be registered in Auditor's office.....600 acres, as supposed when ran out to be in Anson County in the Province of North Carolina on the South of Broad River on Lawson's Creek, including a tree marked H L. Beginning at a red oak 7 running So. 48, West 40, East 400 poles to a stake; thence 48 east, 240 poles to a red oak on the north side of said creek and being a branch of Little Riber; thence to beginning. Originally granted 23rd. Feb 1754 by the Honorable Matthew Rowan, Esq. then resident of North Carolina, to Hew Lawson. Quit rent 3/ Sterling pr 4/ Proclamation money per hundred acres, commancing two years from date, but by a late resurvey of the boundary line between No. and So. Carolina, the above tract falls within the Province of So. Carolina, Craven County, and therefore the Memorialist requires this, his memorial, to be entered in the Auditor General's office of this Province. In witness whereof he here unto set his hand 20 Feb 1773. Delivered for the Memorialist to Andrew Thomson Certified by R. L. (XII, p. 112) Why else would Andrew be buried in the Moore cemetery unless there was kinship there? I believe Jane is there, too, but doesn't have a headstone. Brent HOlcombes' book also mentioned these grants to the Lawson's that became the property of Dr. Andrew & Jane. I do know that the "unknown" daughter, if Jane, would descend like this thus making Jane related to the Moore's as well as Dr. Andrew.
