David Faulkenberry: South Carolina Roster of the Revolutionary War While residing in Kershaw District, he was drafted into service under Capt. John Canerton? and Col. Joseph Crenshaw and was in the Battle of Hanging Rock. After six months he was discharged. Shortly thereafter, he was again drafted and served five to six months under the same Captain. At some time he served in Sumter's brigade and was at Gates Defeat as a baggage guard sergeant. He was crippled in both hands by Tories who raided his home and cut him with a sabre. He was also shot in the arm at the same time. Moved to Georgia then to Tennessee. Kevin

Family Cemeteries are part of our heritage as well. How many of you from Tennessee have contacted your legislators to voice your opinion regarding the Cemetery Proposal being considered for passage? This is a serious issue. Unless we put a stop to these bills soon, family research will be forever adversely affected in our state. Now is the time to join together and turn these bills around. I urge you all to please assist in this effort to stop these bills from becoming law. If passed, they go into effect July 1, 2007. Please look closely at the following clause contained in both the House Bill 1354 and Senate Bill 1804: In order for a friend of a deceased person, of the family, or of a descendant or persons engaging in genealogical research to exercise the right of ingress and egress to a cemetery or to graves on private property as eligible persons, the friend or researcher must have written designation as such by a descendant or other member of the family of the deceased. Such a requirement will cause a restriction of access to hundreds of family cemeteries in our immediate area and thousands throughout the state. If we, those whose interest is in our history and in preserving our past, don't defend our right to do so, then those rights shall be taken away from us by those acting on behalf of other agendas. This is a call "To Arms!" Contact your legislators please! Respectfully, Danny M. Nichols

That is Great Nardine ! I will put that in my file ! Kevin

Kevin, I have not been able to verify the burial places, but possibly Francis "Old Frank" Spurlock and William Merriman. I believe both served in the War of 1812 and are buried in Cannon Co. If anyone has more information about these 2 men, I would love to visit. I am descended from both.

Do we have any War of 1812 Veterans buried in Cannon County ? Kevin Morgan

Yes ! I always thought our Family Foods were part of our Heritage. Just like History, they are fading fast. Can any of you remember these Great Foods ?? Kids today only know McDonalds. I can remember my Aunt Jesse cooking all day on a wood stove. She would start out by getting fresh eggs and milk in the morning. She would work all day to make a cake for everyone !!
