Thanks. Joyce

Hi! Haven't heard of a George Mitchell, but my gg-grandfather, Randolph Mitchell died in York Co, SC in 1816. His sons were: Robert Randolph, Dawson N., Allison Joel, and Mark O. I'm also looking for a Henry Mitchell about that time period. Have you heard of him? There is a George Mitchell mentioned in "The Mitchell-Mattison Family of Belton, South Carolina dn Related Families" published by Marion Frank Mitchell in 1983 It is in the South Caroliniana Library in Columbia, SC. Good luck! Doris [email protected]

Hi All, Does anyone know if there are any employee records in existance for the Jac Feinburg Hosiery Mill that was in Rock Hill during the 1930s? I believe it closed in 1940. I tried Winthrop Archives a few years ago and they only had an oral history. In both of the families (KISER and WORKMAN) that my grandmother (WILLIAMSON) possibly stayed with, the spouses worked at the Hosiery Mill. So, I'm wondering if she was an employee there, also. Is anyone familier with searching for employees of these old mills? Any help greatly appreciated! Marian

Dorothy I have an Elizabeth Harper (1782-1821) who married John Allen (1782-1806) probably in NC, but may have migrated to York Co. Any connection?

The only Indian tribe in York County in the1760s would be the Catawbas. Thomas Blumer's extensive Bibliography of the Catawba has no Craig at all. The Indian agent to the Catawbas in that time period was Matthew Toole. This statement would equally apply to nearby Lancaster and Chester counties. Louise Pettus

Does anyone have a Stephen Craig (Creagh) in their data bank? I am not sure he was from York, but then I don't know any other Craigs. I think he was an Indian trader. Time period? perhaps 1760 on. Any help appreciated. Sara. ---------- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: SCYORK-D Digest V99 #11 > Date: Thursday, January 21, 1999 8:57 AM >

Hi folks-- I've been away from the holidays and apparently missed earlier discussions about Rev. Martin's five shiploads of settlers to SC, but am very interested in being part of any project. I do have a copy of the very interesting book "Scotch-Irish Migration to South Carolina, 1772: Rev. William Martin and his Five Shiploads of Settlers" by Jean Stephenson. Would be happy to do lookups or share general information from it for the list or whoever is interested. My McKnight ancestors were among the Rev. Martin's settlers (were on the brig. Freemason), and they settled in York District.

Suzanne, I may be the one who forwarded that Post. I belong to the [email protected] This List started a Discussion of Rev. Martin's Five Ships of Protestants. Linda Merle, the List owner made the offer of a place to begin a List if a List operator to man it. She wanted to include SC interested people so I forwarded that one Post to the SC Lists I subscribe to. Edith ----------

Carolyn, I have Biggers in S C and they were in N C also. They were connected to my Barnett's in late 1700's or early 1800's ? Plus other names. There is the Bethel Church Cemetery on line in York Co S C. I will go to my Favorites and find the link and send it to you. Where did you find these people? Give me the places all you know of town, Co and state and when. I will see if i can tell you what next may help you. Have you checked any census? Do you have a ch of these people? What dates or time frame were they in the places. Let me know and I'll see what I can do. I have some items with Bigger name on. I have some wills with it from 1800's. You have later but maybe we can get to where we can get more imfo to help.

Hello Kenneth and Debbie, I have Barnett's/ Spratt's, and others and a Smith also that was connected to Barnett's / Biggers/ Campbells/ Adams/ Armstrongs etc in NC and the York Co S C. This was just Carolina and was divided to North and South sometime in late 1700' s and York Co was part or Mechleburgh before N and S Carolina was formed from just Carolina. This makes the same people in same place but the area changed names. There are lots of these people in the Bethel Church Cem in York Co S C and it is on net. I would like to find th Smith that mar into these families.
