Thank you so much for the information. I will contact Louise Pettus. I plan to make a trip up from Summerton, SC to personally look, very soon. Just trying to do some ground work before I get there.

You're welcome, Linda. Hope you have good luck in your search. Margaret Jackson Chattanooga, TN

Linda, No one has ever done a proper cemetery list of Laurelwood cemetery. When I say proper I mean one that would be useful to genealogists. It is a city-owned cemetery with a keeper who does maintain records but they only show which row, number etc. and he has records showing who the owner of the lots happen to be (again, by location). There are no lots available for sale, all having been purchased. I saw a listing in the York County Library local history room but it was not indexed. It was a computer generated listing of names by location in the cemetery. If anyone has ever done an alphabetical listing of Laurelwood (other than the names of the Civil War veterans buried there) I certainly would like to know about it and I am sure there are others who would be much interested. Louise Pettus

In the Barron book that I have, the following Smiths are listed in the index: A. M.Smith, Senator Smith and Virginia Smith. Are any of these familiar? Mary E.

Linda, My husband and I have visited Laurelwood Cemetery several times. He has several Jackson relatives buried there. Possibly other allied family members too. Just don't remember for sure. We still visit in that area once or twice a year but have already been this summer. Would be glad to help any way I can when we are back that way OR you might want to contact Louise Pettus. She is a retired college professor and old family friend who is online frequently with info for York, SC. She would be able to help you I'm sure. Her e-mail address is: [email protected] Tell her that Bob and Margaret Jackson sent you to her. Happy Hunting! Margaret

Wondering if anyone has ever done a cemetery survey of Laurelwood Cemetery in Rock Hill, SC Just received info that I have ancestors there. Thanks, Linda

Could someone provide me with a brief Origin of York Co. When? What was it taken from? Just the basic stuff. Still trying to discover who the Browns of 1770-1780 York were. Any ideas ? Would sure appreciate any help. Thank you Bill Bentley Hurst TX

The Barron information that I have shows a copy of a will of J. Leroy Barron leaving, among others, to son In Alexander A. Barron, who lived at the "old house place". Profit from cultivation of this land for 1874 would go one-half to the estate and one half to Alexander A. Barron. In 1876 his son Alexander A. Akin should pay the estate in the sum of eight hundred dollars. J. Leroy knew he only had a short time to live and died 17 days after the writing of the will. His wife at time of his death was Mary Susan Wallace. His first wife was Violet Amanda Barnett. Alexander Archibald was the son of wife number one. I have some more on this Alexande but he stayed in South Carolina. Give me some of your other names to look for and I will try to check them out. Mary E.

Linda, This is my family, too. I have boxes and books of information. Let me know what you specifically need and I will try to work on it. I have Stewart Family Genealogy, compiled by Debbie G. Stewart, 1675 - 1991. I have an address for Debbie but I don't know how recent it is. 209-A William Canyon Drive, Austin, TX 78745. It has lots of information on this family starting with Alexander Stewart, Sr. If you don't have this book, send me what you are really looking for and I will see if I have it. I also have a boxful of Stewart information which I haven't gotten out yet. This is my first day of retirement! Genealogy Here I Come. Mary E.

The only information I have on an Alexander Barron is one who lived in York County born May 26, 1851 died June 23, 1909, married Mary Robert Partlow Nove. 4, 1873 who was born Sept. 27, 1855 died July 2, 1930. I have eight children listed. Alexander's parents were J. Leroy Barron and Violet Amanda Barnett. I may have more information in my many boxes of materials but I haven't gotten them out yet - just the books that I have collected. Mary E.

Cecil, My first day of retirement! Slept until 8, ate breakfast and am at the computer now with 161 messages to read. James A. Barron, 1878- 1939 of Chester, South Carolina. I bought the book in 1987 from John I. Barron, 5 Broad Street, York, SC 29745. I don't know if he is still there or not, but they could possibly have a book left. At the time he had found seven. I just read his note to me. He had an added index done by Ann McCartney. If you can't find the book, I'll try to send you information you want. Just send me some names and dates. As I stated earlier, the book is around 300 pages long and the index doesn't cover every name. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Mary E.

Tommy, I have an old Barron book ca. 1927. It is about 300 pages. I looked through the index. There are several Barrons with the right names but there are no Stephensons in the index. I note that some names are not indexed. I will go through this book whenever I can and will keep you in mind. My families came from the same areas, excep I don't think any of mine were in Tennessee. Mine all ended up in Cherokee County, AL. Will try to write again next week. Mary E.

Cecil: I am connected to the Barrons, Stewarts and Akins of York, S.C. I have a big box of Barron information, but can't get to it at this time. I think I also have a copy of a Barron book. I am retiring at the end of this month and will have more time to work on my genealogy. I expect genealogy to keep me very busy. I have collected information for 15 - 20 years and have not gotten it in very good order yet, but I am planning on doing that as soon as I can. Give me some time and I will get back to you and give you an idea of what I might have that you could use. Mary E.. Davis 2480 Sanie Road Odenville, AL 35120 (205)640-1951 I am very rarely at home. I will be doing genealogy in the day and at night I am very involved in square dancing and lines and round dancing. I just joined several lists and they are going to keep me busy. I have over 100 messages to read tonight. I'll get back in touch with you and will save your messages.

First submission to the list. Need family of Robert Crockett, York Co SC census 1790/1800/1810. Did he have a son named Samuel b 1885+- that went to GA, married in 1816 in Jasper Co GA. If this is a connection would like to have list of all family members, parents, dates etc. Can fill a book on this family from this point on, all proven. Will be happy to share.
