SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/York/10532 Surname: MCELWEE, MCILWEE ------------------------- Frederick Hambright is mentioned in a land deed dated 1765. His land borders my relative William McElwees land.William McElwees house was located on what is now Kings Mountain State Park. The house is approximately two miles from the battle site at Kings Mountain. Willaim McElwee and two of his sons fought at Kings Mountain. William McElwee was promoted to leutenant after the battle of Hanging Rock by Thomas Sumter. Do you know if Frederick Hambright fought at that battle? I think I read somewhere that he did. Not sure though. In 1849, a writer named Lossings stopped by the McElwee house as he was sketching pictures from the Kings Mountain battle site and he interviewed McElwee who at the time was 87 years old and the last living member of Sumters men.This interview is printed in one of Lossings many books and maybe he mentions Hambright in the article or one of his many others. Hope this helps you. Roy McIlwee, Scranton, Pennsylvania.
