Cindy, I know of the definite whereabouts of an old CHANDLER cemetery and some vague information about an old PRINGLE cemetery. Do you want this info? There are definitely unmarked as well as marked graves at the CHANDLER one. Both are on old family property in deep woods and soon will be lost to the known world, I think. Please let me know. Best regards, Dolores Pringle Myrtle Beach, SC

Hello from Sumter, The newest addition to the Old Sumter District web sites will be the Old Sumter District Family Reunion Home Page. Please send me what you know about your Old Sumter District Family Reunions. The reunion query that I sent across the list resulted in a contact and a local phone number for the person needing the information. Many family reunions must be like the Ridgeway one. It's held every year, the Sunday before Memorial Day, somewhere in Clarendon County. Info like that and a contact phone number and or e-mail address would be helpful in bringing more family members together. Send me your information and I will get a page worked up. (If not before then I will have it done during Spring Break when I have a week and a day off from school teaching.) Thanks, Cindy

Looking for info on Felix Hancock, or his son Wm. Eli Hancock. William's daughter's (Frances Leitha Hancock) obit states she was born in Lee County. As you know, Lee wasn't Lee until 1902, and she was born several years before that. Anybody know of anybody doing Hancocks?

Hello everyone, We have quite a number of new subscribers just recently. In fact one new subscriber is the former mayor of Sumter, Mayor Bubba McElveen. He is quite a Sumter County historian so I am hoping that as he is monitering the list that he will share his knowledge about Sumter too. I know that I have mentioned the Sumter County Genealogical Society's ongoing project of eventually publishing a book of unmarked graves to some of you. I can't recall if I have mentioned it on the list or not so I will now. If you know of any unmarked graves in Old Sumter District, please send me that information and I will get it to the Society. Sometimes families have Bible records, a death certificate, or you just know because Grandmama told you that her mama was buried in a certain cemetery and never had a tombstone. I have a few of those situations myself. Mine are from some death certificates that I have gotten and I have some old Ridgeway Bible records giving some Barfield birth and death dates. Those Barfields are my ancestors but they have no tombstones. (I think that many times the grave markers were wooden and they have rotted away with time.) I have also just recently sent some info to a fellow working on an Elmira Prison page. He has the names and grave numbers listed from records that he has found but he is also working on a survivors page. If you have a CSA ancestor who survived Elmira you might want to get that info to him. http://www2.netdoor.com/~52rcourt/elmiran.htm The Elmira Prison Camp Home Page I will be at Sumter High School this Sat. presenting a parent workshop on how to help your child succeed in mathematics at school. If you are interested and in town, come on over to SHS. The event starts at 9:00 with a speaker and then there will be over 20 parent workshops available in 2 sessions. You can also sample some of the wonderful food. (My mama is in charge of that you know.) Love from Sumter, Cindy

Looking for Mode / Mose JOHNSON and his wife Dolsa PILGRIM. She was said to be Cherokee. They had one child that I am sure of, Dolsa JOHNSON b. 10 November 1863 in Kemper Co. MS. Mode and Dolsa were from Alabama. This is all that I know about them. Anything would be helpful. I've searched every census from 1850 thru 1900 for all the counties in MS and AL surrounding Kemper Co. MS looking for them. Have also searched all the counties in AL that border MS and the next row of counties into AL also, from north to south. Nothing. One more try before I unsubscribe.... Thanks, Vickie Carter

Hello, I'm searching for ancestors of Joshua and Isaac Nichols who lived in old Salem County, SC, during the War of 1812. Joshua's and Isaac's War of 1812 military and bounty land papers state the following: "That they were privates in a company of Lt. Col. Adam McWillie's 2nd Regiment of South Carolina Militia commanded by Captain James Bennett , who died in service and Lieutenant James Long commanded afterwards. That they were honorably discharged at Charleston in the State of South Carolina on or about the 2 Mar 1815 on account of peace having been made. That the said company commanded by Capt. Bennett and Lt. Long was a volunteer Company of Rifles. Joshua's papers state that he was a substitute for Gabriel Washburn who was drafted in Sumter District, South Carolina. Joshua's military papers, also, state that his place of residence was Sumter District and his place of rendevous was Salem County". I would not be surprised to find that William Nichols a Rev. War veteran who lived in Salem County was Joshua's and Isaac's father, but so far proof has escaped me. In 1844 Martha, widow of William , filed for a pension. Found in Martha's pension application is the following: 1.Martha applied for pension at age 80 years, 1 May 1844. 2.William volunteered for service 1 Aug 1782 3.When William volunteered his residence was Anson County, NC 4.William continued in service until close of war. 5.William and Martha were married June of 1783 (day not given) 6. William died 4 November 1823, Sumter County, SC 7 Affidavit given by John Alexander. Swore on oath that --William Nichols was married in his fathers (deponents) house to Martha Pool --now Martha Nichols, that the marriage took place sometime in the year --1783, in the month of June, that they were legally married by Lewis Collins a --Baptist preacher. 8.Affidavit given by James Rembert, an ex-member of the Legislature ---of said State. Said he was personally acquainted with William Nichols a ---Revolutionary Soldier for upwards of 15 years, the husband of Martha and that ---William departed this life on the 4th day of November 1823, and that his death ---was caused by hemorrhage of the lungs. 9.Affidavit by Abel Dixon. Swore on oath that he was ---personally acquainted with William Nichols, a Rev. Soldier, and that he saw ---said Nichols married to Martha Pool, sometime in the year 1783, he thinks ---in the month of June. That they were married by Lewis Collins a Baptist ---Minister. By 1820 when the census was taken the area where the Nichols lived was known as Sumter County. Joshua, Isaac and William are all found on the 1820 Sumter County, SC, census. Sometime between 1820 and 1825, Joshua and Isaac moved to Bedford County, TN, and then before 1850 were living in Marion County, AL. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Records relating to Confederate soldiers are typically less complete than those relating to Union soldiers because many Confederate records did not survive the war. NARA does not have pension files for Confederate soldiers. Pensions were granted to Confederate veterans and their widows and minor children by the States of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia; these records are in the state archives or equivalent agency.

Periodicals such as Civil War History, Civil War Times Illustrated, and Blue and Gray are also informative. These magazines are often found in public libraries. Discussion of the Basic Records Compiled Military Service Records (CMSR) Each volunteer soldier has one Compiled Military Service Record (CMSR) for each regiment in which he served. The CMSR contains basic information about the soldier's military career, and it is the first source the researcher should consult. The CMSR is an envelope (a jacket) containing one or more cards. These cards typically indicate that the soldier was present or absent during a certain period of time. Other cards may indicate the date of enlistment and discharge, amount of bounty paid him, and other information such as wounds received during battle or hospitalization for injury or illness. The soldier's place of birth may be indicated; if foreign born, only the country of birth is stated. The CMSR may contain an internal jacket for so-called "personal papers" of various kinds. These may include a copy of the soldier's enlistment paper, papers relating to his capture and release as a prisoner of war, or a statement that he had no personal property with him when he died. Note, however, that the CMSR rarely indicates battles in which a soldier fought; that information must be derived from other sources. A CMSR is as complete as the surviving records of an individual soldier or his unit. The War Department compiled the CMSRs from the original muster rolls and other records some years after the war to permit more rapid and efficient checking of military and medical records in connection with claims for pensions and other veterans' benefits. The abstracts were so carefully prepared that it is rarely necessary to consult the original muster rolls and other records from which they were made. When the War Department created CMSRs at the turn of the century, information from company muster rolls, regimental returns, descriptive books, hospital rolls, and other records was copied verbatim onto cards. A separate card was prepared each time an individual name appeared on a document. These cards were all numbered on the back, and these numbers were entered onto the outside jacket containing the cards. The numbers on the jacket correspond with the numbers on the cards within the jacket. These numbers were used by the War Department only for control purposes while the CMSRs were being created; the numbers do not refer to other records regarding a veteran nor are they useful for reference purposes today. -- + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + | Steven J.

Can anyone tell me where I can go, possibly online, to search for names of Confederate Soldiers, and how to obtain their records? I have three ancestors who fought in the Civil War for the Confederacy, and would like to have their service records. Thanks all, Vickie

A word or phrase shown inside parentheses with question marks indicates the transcriber is not certain as to the correct reading of the word or phrase. In particular, The transcriber is unfamiliar with the handwriting in the signature (? Ress Greean Delk ?). Instead of Ress the first name might be Ross or even Kelly. The rest of the name could similarly be other than as shown. This signer was obviously an officer of the court. So it should be possible to find the true spelling of this name. However, this signature is thought to be of little consequence in tracing the genealogy. 2. A blank underlined space "__" indicates letters or words are missing or illegible in the copy. In particular, a small portion of the top right edge of the document was imperfectly copied. As a result, there may be one to three characters missing at the end of a few lines near the top of the document. It is apparent from the context of the writing that these possibly missing characters do not change the meaning. However, examination of the original document or another copy is needed for completeness. 3. For this presentation, little attempt has been made to layout the text identical to that shown in the document. In particular, words per line and line breaks may vary. -- + ------------------------------------------------------------------ + | Steven J.

Hello Damita, Wright's Bluff was once a Santee River port. good were brought to and Wright's Bluff Columbia or Charleston via water. There were warehouses there for the storage of commodities. The pier was next to an old cypress tree which stuck out into the water. The bank was boarded up there to form the pier. Attached to the old tree, cables were used to haul the boats up to the pier on the shore. A steamer used to call at Wright's Bluff and take passengers to Charleston. Long after the river was no longer used for transportation and the pier had rotted away, the old tree was still there. Near Wright's Bluff there was a U sort of bend in the river were plantations. Summerton was about 10 miles to the northwest of Wright's Bluff. Summerton was the Summer Town at first because the local planters wished to get away from their farms and businesses. What was to become Summerton had a healthful climate, plenty of arteisian water. Eventually it became a permanent little town. (Still there today.) The now Sumter, not in Clarendon County anymore, town of Pinewood has absorbed what was the Fulton community and Fulton is now just a crossroads. (Don't blink when you head through Pinewood either.) Pinewood was originally called Pine Log by Black men who worked there in a logging camp. Rimini (also in Sumter County but barely) was named by the Coast Line (Railroad) officials. It is thought that it was named for a place in Italy. Now, I know this info from reading the History of Sumter County and Historical Sketches of Sumter County. Cindy

Also, I'd like to know the types of crops grown in these areas in the mid 1800's - early 1900's. How do I go about researching that? Thanks in advance for all replies.

Notes for FRANCES ELIZABETH CHANDLER: Frances Elizabeth "Fannie" Chandler was a petite woman with a kind, loving heart according to her granddaughters, Iris Wall Richardson and Marian Wall Dye. Francis Glenn "Frankie" Wall used to to tell that when the family still lived in Olanta in the late 1910's when he and James were very young, their grandmother Fannie used to scoop the two boys up at the same time, hugging them, and saying "My boys!" Fannie knew that life with two young boys was sometimes hard on Garndmama, and so the boys were welcomed often to their grandparents' house which was next door. Mama also says that Fannie used to feel of the fabric between her forefinger and thumb of clothes as she was browsing. Here is a clipping found in my grandparents' possesions: FUNERAL SERVICES MRS.WALL TODAY Special to the Morning News TIMMONSVILLE, Sept. 30-Funeral services for mrs.

A.G. Wall was called Pa by his grandchildren. My mother, Iris Wall Richardson, says that he called her "Baby" as she was the youngest of her family. Mama and Frankie used to say that Pa would practice reading his Sunday School lessons on the porch of his home in Olanta, and they can remember when Pa said "And Jonah swallowed the whale..." They enjoyed this story for many years. A.G. Wall lived on Route I in Olanta, SC. His farm consisted of 70 acres which lay I mile north of Olanta on Highway 341 in the Motts Ward of Florence County. The land was bounded on the north by the property of J.L. Connor, east by J. N. Jordan, south by J.P. Truluck, and west by the Est. S(amuel) R.
