Thanks Kathy for your reply I am from Douglasville, GA, Just west of Atlanta, Ga. I have heard of the Book recently from Mary Fondren, but she wasn't sure if it was available. I do want a copy if I can find it. Mary has been a great help to me. However we are having a hard time connecting our James Holladay bn 1792 spouse Catherine bn abt 1806 to Daniel Holladay bn 1752. We think Catherine is an Ackerman Father Jacob Ackerman from Edgefield, SC. His estate was setttled in 1820- 1826. Maybe you can shed some light on that aspect.? I did find a connection in Montgomery, Ala to Benjamin Hickman Brunson bn 1 15 1807 and Matilda Winnie Brunson bn 3 23 1822 , Her parents are Manning D Brunson bn abt 1793 and Epsey Richardson bn abt 1769 . Any Help would be greatly appreciated. This is My connection Please let me know how you are related.

Sherry, Father, Julius B. Watts, born Abt 1834, Clarendon Co., SC. Mother, Esther Jane Evans, born 1830 Clarendon Co., SC, died 29 Mar 1914, Sumter Co., SC. I got this info from Bo Watts page on Family Tree Maker. The address is: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/w/a/t/Alton-J-Watts/ODT1-001.html I don't think he would mind that I'm telling you this. He has all the descendants of Thomas Watts shown there. I really found it interesting.

This is Bo Watts (Alton J. Watts). I'm not a Hodge descendant. I'm descended from Thomas Watts of Kershaw County (1742) Eliza Jane Watts' Parents were Julius B. Watts (Died During Civil war) and Esther Jane Evans. They were my g grand parents. If you are a researcher of Hodges you will find that the Watts, Evans, Hodges, Harringon, nd Buddins married in each family frequently.

This will be Quoted from "Southern Kith & Kin" "...following records are from Mrs. Walter Adams of Seattle Washington, Descendant of Noah Scarborough, whom she believes was a son of Major James Scarborough...." "...Noah Scarborough,b 1805,d 1890 , at Morrow, Louisiana, St. Landry Parish; m. Nancy Stringer in 1825." "Emma Agnes Scarborough,b3-17-1886, Yoakum, DeWitt Co., Texas, m. Marvin Rice Adams. Issue: Loyce , Percy Adams, and Eugenia Ellison." The Emma above was the daughter of James Martin Scarborough,b 7 June 1859,d. 1 Nov 1948, m.Susan Elizabeth Wright , b 22 Feb. 1861 d. 15 Apr. 1923. She was the daughter of Thomas Wright. All of this took place in or around Robstown, Texas Hope this is the right thread, sorry I don't have more.

I would like to share info with you. This is the same family but there is some confusion. I have two John Williams but neither with the date you gave. The John William that is in my line married Julia A. Morris. He died in the war and his only child was Henry Thomas. I would have to look at both our documentation to learn which is right. I would love to add to the file what you have on your line. I don't have much on the later generations and that is what makes it easier for everyone to connect. To see the file I have on line with all my Hodge info just visit my web site http://www.geocities.com/heartland/village/9828 Click on Hodge to go to the page of Hodge links. From there click on ged com file. I am not familiar with Bo Watts. Is he also a Hodge researcher? I have exchanged info with lots of people from Sumter but his name in not familiar. There is also a Hodge list (just like this one for Sumter). I am looking forward to hearing more from you. I am always happy to add another Hodge. Let me know what you have that gives the facts you gave me. I have most of the older Hodge info from the Sumter area.

Faye, I have noticed several notes from you on this list mentioning the Hodge family. My Grand-father was Martin Luther Hodge born 3 Sep 1886 in Clarendon Co. SC, died 19 Apr 1935 in Clarendon Co., SC. I have found info on his mothers family (Watts) on the I-net but can find nothing for his fathers. His father was John Brockington Hodge, born 11 Dec 1855, married Eliza Jane Watts 15 Jan 1878, died 3 Dec 1929. John Brockington Hodges father was John William Hodge born 15 May 1829, died 12 Feb 1857, Married Julia A. Morris 28 Sep 1854, she was born 28 Jan 1838 all in Clarendon Co., SC. Are the Hodges you are researching from this family? If so, do you have any additional information that you might share. All of the info found has been from Bo Watts. In fact, he is the one that suggested I join this list. Any help will be appreciated. Gloria Herschell From: "Faye L.

Hi, Betty-- I too am researching the Holladay family. As you probably have already found out, there are a bunch of them in the Sumter area. Please give me more info on which family you are researching. And, are you aware of Alvis Holladay's outstanding book on the Holladays? I came upon it years ago and it has been a tremendous help to me. Alvin has died since publishing his book, but his son continues to sell the book and is also online...he, too, has been a wonderful resource. Incidentally, I am doing my research from California...

Blanche, Thanks for checking on Daniel. He had a grandson named James so this might be a new lead. Thanks for all your help. Elsie

Claudia, You sound like me...my mother and father both had SC Andersons as ancestors. The only mention of Browns may or may not help but they are interesting anyway. 1) This was in Columbia 1817-1822 "On Main St. next below Barrett's, now Stanleys, stood the jail some distance back from the street. It was kept by John D. (Dictionary) Brown, Deputy Sheriff, a man of strong "contribution" who once made a statement the he had taken a defendant with a casement, but he had broke customary and was lying out in ambition.(He sounds like Casey Stengel or Yogi Berra! this is my observation because I have no idea what he meant) He had a son, a jack-leg Methodist exhorter, and several daughters, one of whom was the wife of Henry McGowen, who still lives here (1884) and another was first married to Passmore, a clerk in Hall's show store: and after his death to Mr. Bauskett of Newberry." The son who was a Methodist preacher was tongue tied and had trouble with his sermons. 2)In Lexington.SC on July, 1852, there was a great "freshet" (a large stream overflowed its bounds) and a Col.Wm. Spencer Brown was washed away when the Greenville Railroad Bridge washed away. His body was found one week later near Columbia. Cheers! Blanche

Blanche, Would you please give me any infomation on the Browns mentioned in his book. My Mother and Father both has ancestors in the Brown Family, My Mothers went to Ga. and was John Brown and my Fathers stayed in SC and married into the Kirby family. Thank you for taking the time to help all of us. You must be a wonderful person. Claudia

Elsie, The only McKenzie mentioned is a James McKenzie family who lived about "ten miles from Camden". Scott was sent to live with them after his mother died in 1815. Blanche
