RonnieCrenshaw, of Elberton,Ga., cameat invitation,with written documentation on the Crenshawfamily. to speakto Old PendletonDistrict Chapter. So MANY of our membersare tied into this family, and the MANY other local families,so we had the ideaof using Ronnie's GREAT ResearchNotes to give others,who did not hear him, more researchclues for their own family research.In my own searchfor family, I seldomhear a speakeraddress the group without picking up family namesand places where I can look further lor more information. We would like to sharesome of this Crenshawinfbrmation with you, as we did the Freemaninformation, over the next few months.and you will find lamiliestied in: Rice,Winchester. Grant. Murphree. Murphy, Porter,Alexander, Gilstrap, Nix, Evatt,Kennemore, Norton, Hays. Riggins. Martin and. manymore. We haveRonnie's written permission to do this series.

We beginour researchin Virginia,where most of our area'srelatives came out of in the earlyyears of our country'ssettlements of colonialfamilies.

June 1699,King and QueenCounty, Virginia Williamsburg:House of Burgesses,Special Committee on Indian Affairs and Land Patentsfor King and QueenCounty, Virginia.

" By the committeefor examiningclaims to land in PamunkeyNeck (land lying betweenthe Pamunkeyand Mattaponi Rivers) and on the south side of Blackwater Swampand to considerof the most propermeans to settlethe northernand southern boundsof Virginia.

The Queenof the PamunkeyIndians together with the greatwhite men belongingto the said Nation setting forth that by severalOrders of the General Court there was granted unto them a considerablequantity of land lying in PamunkeyNeck which they havea long time possessedand enjoyedand by the "Article of Peace"made at Middle Plantation (Williamsburg) the 29'hday of May 1677. The said land was then confnmedunto them with a clausein the said Article that a Patentshould be grantedto them as is usualto order His Majesty Subjects. Which patentsthough often desiredby the saidIndians was neveryet obtainedand the saidIndians thereupon complaining that Ralph Wormeley, Esq. and othersin the companyof the surveyorabout the beginningof June 1694upon the saidpetitioners land possessedby them and within one mile of their Indian Town and in severalother placesof the saidland did enter,survey and lay out severalconsiderable parcels of the land. To them greatprejudice and breachof the said "Article of Peace" and which if sufferedwould of necessitydrive the petitionersfrom offtheir now habitation and praying regressand that a patent may be grantedthem pursuantto the said Articles.

The samefully weighedand consideredby the committeeand the greatmen of the said PamunkeyIndians and Robert Peasley,their interpreter,having appearedpersonally before us upon full hearing of what they had further to allege and due considerationhad the "Articles of Peace"in "136 Act of Assembly" in the printed book in which paragraph in the said "Articles of Peace"contained, ought to be kept fnm and inviolable. Which paragraphis as followeth: the violent intrusion of diverse English into and upon the land grantedto the said Indians by the aforesaidArticles. To ye great disturbanceof the peaceof this His Majesty's Colony and involving it into crime and misery it is concludedand establishedthat no English shall seator plant nearerthan within three miles of any Indian Town,

Thereuponthis committee doth report:

I That accordingto the purport intent and true meaningthereof: No English whatsoever ought to seat,plant or possessany land in PamunkeyNeck nearerthan within three miles as aforesaidof the Town where the said Indians now inhabit. That being the place whereon they were seatedat the time of the said Articles and on which they have ever sincecontinued.

II That the said Indians have not any power or authority by color or pretext of the said Article or any Law or Order whatsoeverto sell leaseor let out any part or parcel of the Said land within the said boundsther thanto the posterityof their own nation..

III That the said land to the said Indians so as aforesaidgranted and boundedby the said "Articles of Peace" should be adjudgedand taken to be sufficient for their habitation and reservedlands.

IV That it would conducemuch to His Majesty's Service that all other vacantland in the said PamunkeyNeck be held of His Majesty,his heirs,and successors,by patentas other landsare held on and whereasseveral parcels of land were by the PamunkeyIndians for good and valuableconsideration leased for Ninety Nine yearsto theseseveral persons hereafternamed. Which landsby an "Order of Assembly" held at JamesCity the 25th day of Aprll1679 was grantedto be confirmedunto them and that they shouldhave the priority and frst grantthereof when the samecame to the King's hands. Providedalways that it should not be construedand taken to give them rights to any lands grantedby patentor patentsbefore the making of "136 Act of Assembly;"

From: Sent: Saturday,December 14,2002 3:53 PM Subject: the genealogyangel THEGENEALOGY ANGEL by PattyWhitney Gravois

It happenssuddenly, without warning.You are going about your own business when-----BAMll----yourlife is changedforever. You are no longerable to resistthe strong desire to do somethingyou have never really thought about doingbefore.

Yousuddenly want to spendall of yourtime with books, computers, newspapers, oldphotographs, and lots and lots of deadpeopre. You start to enjoygoing to oldcourthouses and cemeteries. What has happened to you?Are you crazy? How canyour life be changed so drasticallyso suddenly?

Well,you are not really crazy, although some people might think so. You have justbeen selected to bethe "THE FAMILY HISTORIAN." lt has become my personal philosophythat there is a genealogyangel out there whose sole job is to selectone person (or maybe two) to be in chargeof protectingand recording eachfamily's history.

It seemsthat God finds family groups to bevery important. After all, a lot of theflrst part of theBible deals with who begat whom. (Begat sort of means"Wtlo's yo' mama?"--or thereabouts). Adam and Eve are going to bethe onlypeople in Paradisewho don't have a bellybutton. Everyone else was begat by someone.Keeping track of whobegat whom was probably not a problemat first.Families sort of stucktogether.

As theworld's population grew and families kept expanding, someone had to keepa recordof who belongedwith what family. St. Peterprobably started keepingrecords because no oneon Earthknew how to reador writeyet. Oral historieswere passed on andpeople kept pretty good track of theirfamilies' oralhistories because there was nothingelse to do at nightand in the rain andsnow but talk about the family.

Gradually,though, the world continued to expand. Writingwas invented, and then reading was invented so peoplecould understand the writing. Some people wrotedown who was their family, but others didn't see the point.As peoplemoved around a lot,sometimes familieswere separated and family histories were lost.Not everyone knew how to readand write. Oral historieswere lost. For hundreds of yearsfamily historieswere lost when the grimreaper claimed thosewho held the lore in their heads. Then,I think,St. Pete decidedto do something aboutthe shameles', lack of respectfor rootsand family history.Each fam)',y was to havesomeone who would becometotally frrcused on capturingand recording the begatsof eachfamily. These Family Historians wouldhave the job notonly of collectingthe presentday familyinto groups and recording their histories, butalso of tryingto undosome of the neglectof the past.

So,don't be surprisedif oneday you are the one chosen.

Henry Frederick Rumler, son of Frederik H. Rumler, and ParmeliaA. Brown Rumler, was born in AndersonCounty, SC., on November30,1874. He spenthis early life in GreenvilleCounty. His mother died when he was only about seven(7) but shetaught him to cook and take care of the home. Walter, his only sibling, died when Henry was a child. Growing up in those times was difficult. Henry had little schooling,and worked many long hours in the fields. He learnedfarming. painting and carpentry from his father,a nativeof Denmark,who had cometo Americaduring the War Betweenthe States.

On June 10, 1894he marriedLeona Elizabeth Boggs, of PickensCo., SC., daughterof Henry Dickson "Little Dick" Boggsand PermeliaElizabeth Williams Boggs. Leona wasthe youngersister of Henry'sfathers'third wifb. Mary Frances(Mame) Boggs. Leonacame from the largeBoggs family that had beenin the Up Country of South Carolinasince before the RevolutionaryWar. [{er great-greatgrandfather was Aaron Boggs,a patriotof the RevolutionaryWar. Her father.H.D. Boggs,fought with HamptonsLegions in the War Betweenthe States.

Over the yearsHenry held manyjobs. He helpedlay the doubletrack of the Southern Railroadin the areaand alsohelped build the Army Camp Sevier.at Spartanburg,SC. He was a carpenterand painterand all aroundhandyman. During the frst yearsof marriage,Henry pickedcotton in Birmingham,Alabama. where at leastone of his chldren was born. ln l9l2 the Rumlersestablished their home in Liberty, SC, where they lived for more than 50 years.

One of his biggestaccomplishments was helpingto organizethe VolunteerFire Departmentin Liberty. In 1916he was involvedin one of the worst fres ever recorded in the town of Liberty. Gary's store,in the businessdistrict, was destroyedby a fre and explosionthat rocked the community and almost cost Henry his life. He hadjust come from a fire at the Liberty Oil Mill, when the fire whistle rang again, and it looked as if the entire town would go up in flames. Soon, he and severalmen were on a roof fighting to savethe town. The roof caved in and he landedastride a brick wall. Although stunned,he was able to crawl to a ladder and soon reachedthe ground safely,for which he was very grateful.

For over 40 yearshe servedas a volunteer fireman, when in his late 70's he was finally convincedby the younger volunteersthat he had done his sharein community service. A valuedmember of the community,of the Liberty United MethodistChurch, Henry could alwaysbe calledupon for help in time of need. He had a fine senseof humor and was quite the otease". I can rememberhim making commentsto my grandmother Leona, about how popular he was with the town ladies,who had hired him to do some handymanjobs.

I remembergoing to their homewhen I was very young,and the specialway he treated me. I rememberthe large airy kitchen, which held both an electric stove and wood stove. My grandmotherpreferred cooking on the wood stove. Their home seemedso big and mysterious. The living room had a coupleof largepictures hanging on the wall, in big gold fancyframes, along with two lovely pearlhandled revolvers. It was much later I learnedthat thosepictures had beenof Henry's motherand fatheron their wedding day. I still do not know the story behindthose guns or what happenedto it all.

They lived at 310 Edgemont Street in Liberty, for as long as I can remember. I first visitedthem in about 1946. They continuedto live thereuntil after my grandmotherdied in 1961and his healthbegan to decline.Henry then went to live with my UncleJoe in Alexandria,Virginia. He lived thereuntil his deathin 1965. They are buriedside by side in the Abbott Cemetervin Libertv.

Henry and his beloved"Lony'-'were married for 65 yearsand raiseda large family. Therewere twelve children,the first being,Lillie born 1895,who died as a smallchild. Silas,my father, born in 1897, married my mother, Willetta Martin Hicks in 1940, in Alexandria,VA. The third child, Josephborn 1900, married Lucille Johnson. Clara, born in 1902,married John Pruitt. clarence,born in 1905. Guynell,born,in 1909, married Ernest Pilgrim. A set of twins, Jackie& Janie,and a daughter Maggie, who all died in infancy. Paul, born 1912, died of diphtheriawhen only 3 yearsold. Helen, born in 1919,married Robert Neely. LeonaElizabeth born 1920married Halbert Pruitt.

My grandfather,Henry, had severalhalf-brothers and sisters. Williarn, half-brother by his father's2nd wife, FrancesMcMahan. Calvin F., SamuelO'Dell, Lawrence, Gertrude, married Oliver Langston, and Annie, who married Henry Welborn, were the children of his father's3'd wife, Mary FrancesBoggs.

I still remembermy grandfather'sgentle ways and his soft voice. After all this time, I feel that Henry and Leona Boggs Rumlershould not be forgottenin the history of this areaof South Carolina.where they lived and were membersof the communitv.

"When the former Cherokee Indian lands ofGreenville County were opened for settlemend in 1784, one ofthe families attracted tpsettle here was that ofAbraham Hudson, who moved to a land grant dated July 12, 1784, and began developing atract of1,000 acres on Rocky Creek. The family was Episcopalain, tobacco planters from Bedford County, Va., from where hogsheads oftobacco were rolledto Lynchburg, the nearestmarket. Abraham Hudson had inherited a large estate because his father, an emigrant from England, had sympathy for him; he had an arm injury that was caused by a nurse letting him fall into a fire as an infant. The estate included then two plantations onthe James River in Virginia.

When Abraham Hudson brought his family to South Carolina, it was with full suport of his Maryland wife, Elizabeth Tyler Hudson, related to the Russells ofMaryland and a cousin of President Tyler.

Itwas a large family, sixsons and four daughters, as were most of the Scots and Irish and English who settled frontier Greenville, often forming communities oftheir own kinfolk. (It has been said that there were 13 families inthis group who came. Atsome point ourReverend Lewis Rector was associated with and lived near. Paren note byA. Brown). Matthew Tyler Hudson, married at 45 after wooing Ann Fleming Collins of

Janet HudsonCrump providerofinformation. 3 Lunenburg Co. VA,Will Bood 3. Spartanburg County for nine years. He lived anddied on the old Hudson place six miles from Greenville,and held an ensign's commission under Gov. John Henry Drayton dated May 11,1810, was a volunteer in the War of 1812 but it ended before his troop was mustered. He transferred his church association to the Presbyterian church.

William Alexander Hudson was born December 2,1838, and lived until June 13,1910, studied under Professor William B. Leary, attended Furman University, and on urgence ofhis father, studied surveyingunder Willis D. Threlkeld and James K. Dickson at Marietta. He served as a private with the Butler Guards during the Civil War, was wounded, promoted and placed in charge ofcollecting tax-in-kind with the quartermaster inthe Pendleton District.

William Alexander Hudson was elected a county commissioner in 1872and made chairman ofthe board. In 1873, hewasappointed magistrate over the incumbent Alfred Taylor, and another candidate, W. C. Bailey, and he madethe first township survey ofGreenville County in 1869, dividing it into 16townships, receiving $800 for the survey and $100 for the first town ship map ever executed ofGreenville County. Waddy Thompson Hudson, November 11, 1840, was named for his father's friend, General Waddy Thompson of Greenville. Hewas educated in private schools and Furman University, was a hunting enthusiast andwas mortally wounded during the Civil War inthe battle ofFranklin, Tenn.

In 1899, Mayor James T. Williams ofGreenville wrote to amember of the fallen Confederate's family thatthe 'bloody field ofFranklin is fresh in mymemory now. I think Iam the only survivor of mycompany who was in thatunnecessary and memorablebattle.'

The army life of those times, themayor wrote, "was the best test of man hood and character, and I trust I may have the opportunitybefore I go to join Waddy totalkto his niece of his beautiful Christian character under the most trying circumstances.'

Martha Ann Hudson, born June 12, 1843, educated attheGreenville Female College, was married January 22, 1860, to Dr. William Henry Austin and went to live on the Austin homestead onGilder Creek in Greenville County.

The descendants ofthe Hudsons and the men their daughters marriedhave since taken prominent part innot only theaffairs of Greenville and the state, but ofmore distant parts ofthe country," The article above appeared in THE GREENVILLE NEWS on June 26, 1962, and had nosource given nor author.

There is a genealogical story to tell on this group of family members. I was on line on the computer to a lady in Florida and received a message that a gentleman had lived near by where I was, by the name ofAlton Brown, and he was a cousin ofmy E-Mail friend. I replied to his E-Mail and said I had graduated from W-L-T High School in 1947and had a classmate by that name. This was the same person!!!! AND HE WAS A COUSIN, AND WE SHARED THE SAME GRANDFATHER AND GRAND MOTHER!!!!! I was hunting this Hudson information and then I find out that Janet Crump, wife ofFred Crump, was also from this same line... More cousins!!!!

All this is being said to make you aware that information is out there in the most ODD AND UNLIKELY PLACES if you will only LOOK and LISTEN!!!! Inreading the information on these people, I also find the Austin Family, and wc have had several NEW members who are researching Austin....Here's some to go with what you have and happy hunting.

George Schrimpf was born in Mary land in 1640, the son of Prussian im migrants. According to oral tradition, George's father died when his son was very young, and his mother remarried. The stepfather then placed George in an apprenticeship with a blacksmith an occuption that did not appeal to the rather frail twelve-year-old boy. Thus George ran away from his home in Mary land and eventually made his way to Anderson District, South Carolina. After the Civil War broke out in 1661, the young man enlisted in the Palmetto Rifleman in Anderson, South Carolina. That unit entered service of the Confederate States Army in April of 1661 and was designated Company B, 4th South Carolina Volunteers. At the ex piration of his one-year enlistment, George re-enlisted in Company C of the select Palmetto Sharpshooters, which was commanded by Colonel Micah Jenkins, who was a native of Edisto Island, South Carolina, and who was later killed during the Wilderness Campaign in Virginia. Private George Schrimpf was wounded several times during the war, but the most serious wound occurred on George L. Schrimpf (1840-1923) August 30, 1662, when a ball entered ——. , — : his back and lodged in his body. This Confederate soldier was then given a furlough in October of 1662, but he was back on duty in March of 1663 and served in the Confederate States Army until the Civil War ended, still carry ing the ball in his body0 After the war, George Schrimpf went to work farming for a former officer of the Confederate States Army, Lt. Col. T. L. Mattison of Anderson. While plowing one day in May, 1667, George felt the ball in his ^body drop in his abdomen and soon began to suffer great discomfort. He visited the medical doctor and begged him to remove the ball. Reluctantly, Dr. Alexander Evins agreed to operate, and he found the ball in the CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE * * * M + * *• * * *;*.'* •»• * CONFEDERATE SOLDIF.RS (continued)

Confederate veteran's bladder. The ball was removed and then sent to Wash ington, D. C, where it was the subject of a case study in the field of medicine. Doctors, theorized that the ball had rested between the walls of George Schrimpf s bladder all those years until finally working its way through the lining. Today, the ball that was removed from George's body remains in the Armed Forces Medical Museum in Washington, D. C. George Schrimpf married and had eight children four sons and four daughters. He continued to live and to farm in Anderson County until his death in 1923 at the age of eighty-three years. His grandson, James Crowther, presently resides on land that once belonged to George Schrimpf.

The marriagedate of JesseCrenshaw and Mary Smith is an estimate.Documentation proving the marriagedate has not beenfound. In the following document,Thomas Smithgives to his daughterMary SmithCrenshaw (28 January1780). This indicatesthat thetwo weremarried prior to his death.

The British partieswere often made up of two or threeNegroes and one soldieronly. Thesesmall detachments ventured out threeor four milesfrom the main bodyof the BritishForce. They were armed with swordsand pistols.

My nameis BETTYENGLERT.

I am interestedin joiningyour Historical Society. I am researchingthe PERRY,Nalley/Bowen/ Berry family from Easely,SC.

I alsofound a SC websitecalled Saving Graves and filledin a repoftconcerning a recentlyfound cemetery plot of familygraves back in late2001 or very early2002.lt is in the presentBROOK FOREST Area in EasleySC. The plotis locatedon the old LENHARDTproperty on LenhardtRoad. The roadon the otherside of the propertyis calledGrant Nalley Road.

Thereis a subdivisionnamed HOLLY TREE that is presentlybeing built in its firststage in this area.The second phaseto be builtin this areawill includethe areaof the foundfamily plot of LemuelAnderson Perry who diedin 1879. This areaholds from 12-19graves, but verysmall headstones.

I understandthat a recordwas foundin the CourtHouse of Easley,SC by GeorgeBryant who hadgiven the locationto Mr. NewellHester of Easley,SC. Mr. Hester had inquiredabout this family plot for a Perryresearcher. Mr Bryantgave the locationsite to Mr Hesterwho wentto the site and immediatelyfound the exactspot of the old familyplot that family had not knownwhere it was located.

Afterfinding that there was buildinggoing on in this area,a letterwas writtento Mr. CecilNalley of the Departmentof PublicWorks. Mr. Nalleystated in a phonecall from RobertPerry in March2002 thatthe platof landmap given to himby the EngineerMIKE MATTOX (MADDOX) of Greenville,SC showedno informationof a cemeteryplot.

Mr. Bryantand Mr. Hesterstated to Mr. Nalleyby letterFeb 28, 2002that there was a recordof it in the Easley CourtHouse.

Mr. RobertPerry had alsospoken by phoneand left messagesto the officeof EngineerMike Mattox and alsothe Developerof the Property,Mr. W. P. Sligh.Robert also spoke to the nieceof Mr. Slighwho promisedto giveMr. Slighthe messageto pleasereturn his call.An e-mailwas leftat the officeof Mr. Slighas well.No e-mailor phonecalls were returnedto Mr. Perry.

I was ableto see the sightof this developmentcalled Holly Tree Subdivisionin earlyDEC 2002which is well on its way of beingdeveloped. The approachto the familyplot was locatedabout 500 yardsbehind building lot #43 whichwas not startedwith a homeon it at thattime. I also learnedthat it was not builton as of lateFeb. this year 2003.

I am writingto you as suggestedby someonethat your HistoricalSociety Group would be a good Societyto belongto. Whilein the processof locatingyou, I foundthe websitearea called SAVING GRAVES (hftp://www.carolinacuzins.org/SCSG/).I wrote them a reportabout the worryof this cemeteryplot being desecratedby the buildersin HollyTree Divisionon or nearLenhardt Road in Easley,SC nearthe mainhighway calledSaluda Dam Road.I havenot heardfrom this group.Meanwhile I founda web site for Mr. CecilNalley whilelooking for the Departmentof PublicWorks. He was the sameMr. Nalleythat the threegentlemen spoke or wrote to earlyin 2002.

SinceI am gettingmore and moreconcerned over not hearingftom the SavingGraves Site, I wrotean E-mailon March13, 2003 to Mr. Nally(cnalley@easley-sc) explaining all of the details.lexplained to himthat I havelearned that a cemeteryplot can not be destroyedas long as there is a doumentfiled for it. I have told him that it is in the EasleyCounty Courthouse. I havenot heardfrom him or WebsiteSAVING GRAVES. I honestlydo not knowthe next step to take.

It seemsto me as thoughthe phonecalls last year from Mr. RobertPerry to the Engineer,and the Developerof this propertyare being totallyignored. Also, the fact of "no followup" from Mr Nalleyin the Departmentof Public Worksto this matter.

Saturday,March 22,2003 America Online: MarSwank I am alsofeeling ignored. I havenot heardfrom Mr. Nalleysince I wroteto him last March13, 2003. I am very concernedthat the plan is to finishthis buildingand not to savethe propertyof this cemeteryplot.

We do "NOT"want it destroyed.We are onlyasking that they build around the areaof it.

I wouldlike to thinkthat these three people would NOT let this happenand I am beingconcerned for no reason. Whilewriting to you to join your HistoricalSociety, I wouldhope that you wouldnot mindmy writingyou aboutthis matterthat concerns me. I honestlyhave no ideaof the nextstep to follow.

It is strangethat a familygrave that people had heardof and did not knowthe locationof it, couldbe was foundby the rightperson after all theseyears-and especially to findthat new homesare beingbuilt there. I wouldbe heart brokento havelearned this too late! | havetaken a lotof interestin learningabout my family.

I wouldappreciate any leadsyou can giveme to havethis matterbrought to the rightpeople before it is too late.

Meanwhile,my firstpurpose of writingto you is to findthe stepsfor membershipin your HistoricalSociety AlthoughI am in NewYork, I will appreciateyour newsletters.

Thankyou

Maps Tracing the Formation of Counties ln SouthCarolina

The links below are to maps illustrating the changing face of the state as new counties have been formed.

the Propnetors proprietary couoliesJ.oS2 ln 1682.,after the first hard years of settlement, orderedthree counties laid out. Berkeley county, centering around Charleston,extended from the Stono River on thesouth to SeeweeCreek (present-day Awendaw Creek)where it emptied intoBulls Bay on the north. craven county lay north of Berkeley, andbelow Berkeley, colleton extended to the combahee Rrver Later,a fourthcounty, Granville, was laid out between the Combaheeand the Savannah rivers.

ParishesoJ tlLe_ Angl tqan Throughoutthe colonialperiod, the small population and itslimtted legalneeds kept most government, records keeping, and judicial Church activityconfined to the municipallimits of Charleston.Parishes of the establishedAnglican Church served as electiondistricts, and courtswith jurisdiction over the entirecolony sat in Charleston.

Districtsand Counties. ln 1786,part of the unorganizedIndian land, which had been 1786-1790 takenfrom the CherokeeIndians during the AmericanRevolution and lay northwestof Ninety-SixDistrict, became Greenville County;in 1789,the remainderof the lndianland became PendletonCounty. A few countieshad been set out in the three Low Countrydistricts of Georgetown,Charleston, and Beaufort, but there,where the old parishsystem was well established,the countiesfailed to take root.

I was much interest to hear your remarks relative to Jeremiah Field and would be pleased to hear what you have on him, his antecedentsand descendants. He was a larger than life individual who cut a wide swath in Northwestern Pickens County owning large amounts of land in the area EastatoeeValleys and the JocasseeGorges. As far as I know, I am not related to Jeremiah. My interest is that some knowledge of his life and time might lead to the identity the Andersons,John and isaac. For a time, prior to his first wife's death his home place property adjoined that of Isaac and Mary Lay Anderson. After death of his wife, Jeremiah sold the 1542 acre plantatronto Isaac Anderson reserving by easement a four square road (rod?) parcel for a family burying ground. The original Field parcel is now occupiedby the Field-Anderson-NimmonsCemetery. Isaac, Mary and many descendantsare interred there. The cemetery is situated on property that has successivelyknown as The Bill Nimmons Place,The Mack Reeves Place, The Bess ReevesEllenburg Placeand is now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Brett Dalton.

Thanksagain for all your helP.

THOMASE. SMITH [email protected] WhyWait? Move to EarthUnk. SEPARATINGFACT AND FICTION OR THE EXPERIENCESOF AN UNLEARNEDAMATEUR GENEALOGIST

The transition from retired but active dabbler farmer, rancher and gardener to a disabled home confined couch potato was traumatic. For a while reading every obtainable periodical and book occupied time and preserved sanity.

Previous to becoming disabled I had spent much time sitting with my aged father and had been enteftained by his long and fascinating discourses about kinfolk. Relating some of his information to my children during their visits sparked a genuine interest in our family history and I succumbed to the urge "write it up".

Aware that my oppo*unity for research was severely limited; I constructed lineage charts to show descent of direct descendants from earliest known forebear down to the present. Happily, I was able to glean information from some twenty contributors to our gene pool.

Naively, I accepted oral history and traditional family lore is real fact. Imagine my consternation and embarrassment to learn that family tradition is often belied by documented fact.

My injured feelings were somewhat mollified when I learned that expert genealogists sometimes go astray. A most respected researcher erred when he recorded the first of my Bowie ancestors emigrated from Scotland and settled in Charles County, Maryland in the early 17OOs. Passageof time and the efforts of another researcher proved the author to have erred by one generation and some fifty years.

Following the completion and publication of the gene pool project, I began to receive phone calls, personal visits and written requests seeking information about my great great grandfather, Isaac Anderson, and other kin. Such attention stoked my ego and I began to imagine that I was a respected family historian. Later I found that two factors were responsible for all the attention.

Before long f came to realize that being one of the "oldest rats in the barn" encouraged inquiries. Contributive, also, was the fact that I own and occupy a very small portion of the Isaac Anderson's Estate. By association with more competent family historians, I learned that my little corner of Heaven was owned for a time by my great great great Grandpa, Charles Lay who arrived in Pendleton District in time to be counted in the 1-79(JCensus. Documents presented by a competent family historian, who is also descended from Charles Lay and Isaac Anderson, disputed traditional family tore that had been told, retold and accepted as fact for more than 1OOyears. Per tradition, Grandpa Anderson was born in Augusta County, Virginia, mother county to many early Pendleton County pioneers. This ancestor was reported to be the son of a Revolutionary War Captain and nephew to two brothers, also Revolutionary war Veterans.

Tradition told that my ancestor's mother died when he was a baby. His father moved to a Kentucky land grant and left his son to be reared by grand parents. After the American Revolution, the two uncles moved to Pendleton District, settled in what is now upper Anderson County. In fact Anderson County was so named to honor one of them. As a young man my ancestor is said to have visited his uncles and with a great aunt, who with her husband resided in Big EastatoeeValley in what is now Pickens County.

Still recounting tradition, our young man met, became enamored by the red haired daughter of the great aunt's neighbor. Romance ruling, he married Mary Lay, and began housekeepingon land acquiredfrom his in-laws.

A Lay-Freeman-Andersondescendant has traced and documented our great great great grandfather's lineage back to Virginia's Spotsylvania County, Virginia. This ancestor arrived in Pendleton district by way of Surry County, North Carolina in time to be counted in the t79O Census. His Freeman spouse has been traced back to East Coast, Virginia in the mid-16OOs.

Most of the Isaac Anderson lineage reported prior to his marriage to Mary Lay as related above and accepted by most is at variance with fact. Why and how the myth was formulated is a mystery. Also astounding; the story was being recounted by second generation descendants.

Information that can be documented follows: next to nothing is known about the Anderson ancestors' history prior to 18OO. Examination of land transfer documents offer evidence that the father, John Anderson, was a resident of Pendleton District-Pickens County prior L798. A deed dated 2O October 1838, witnessed by a grandson, states the property was surveyed 11 October t798. Much research by many with like surnames has not has not provided creditable evidence as to the identity of his spouse nor siblings of the one identified son.

Documenting the life and times of Isaac and Mary Anderson and their many descendants after 18OO does not present many real problems. The information prior to 18OO and recounted above is definitely untrue. Investigation will continue but little hope exists for more factual data.

by William W. Hough Vallcy Forge,PA June,2003

About a year ago, when I startedresearching my rvife'sBoggs ancestry, I found in rvork by earlier genealogiststhat therervere several Boggs farnilies that werepart of the Scots-lrishirnrnigration from Ireland to SoutheasternPennsylvania in the first half of the lSth century. I also found a lot of legendand lore, much conjecture,and a fair numberof logical inconsistenciesin earlicr work. Norv I am a questioningsort, and happento live in Pennsylvania,so I starteddigging for rcal facts in the actualcountv and provincial recordsstill extant fronr lhc 1700s.

There are lots of piecesto this story. And u'hile thcrc are somc indisputablefacts that confirm, correct and exlendcompilations by earlicrrcscarclrcrs. thcrc arcn't cnouglt to be spccificon all aspects.So therc is still conjecture--hou,everI bclicvc thc currcntstatc of conjcctureis morc logicaland hopefullycloscr to thereal truth than earlicr conicclurc.

The earliestancestors I couldfind in nn'*'ifc's Boggslinc rvereAaron Boggsand RebcccaClark, rvhorvas the rvidowof JohnBaldridge of Martic Tou'nship.Lancastcr County, PA, u&en shemarried Aaron. Initially, I had greatdifficulty acccpting thc lorc that Rcbcccahad mothcrcdBaldridge children nurnberingin the teensbeginning in 173.1plus llrreeBoggs childrcn ending in 1778,a periodof 44 1'cars u,hich rvould have her producingbabies in her late -50s.A rarity with today'smedical technology,and ncxt to irnpossiblein the 1770s. Plus thcre \\,crenurnerous discrepancies in what rvasclaimed to be knol,n about the Boggs,for examplethe birth o[ thcir first child 2 1'earsbeforc Aaron and Rebeccau'ere marricd,and birthplaccs in botltPennsvlvania and Nonh Carolina

Williarn Boggsdied n,ith several"srnall" children in early 1745. Aaron rvasalmost certainly the oldestson. Not onlt,is he the one namedin the caveat,but it rvasusual in thcseScots-lrish families for lhe oldestson to be namedafter his paternalgrandfather. Williarn's rvidorv, Jane, married William Reed 4

rvho rnoyedonto the placeg4tere Williarn Boggs had lived and died in Martic Township' JosephBoggs sold his land in Drumore Torvnship,just to the southof Martic, and left LancasterCounty before 175I ' Thesetownships in southernLancaster County were in the group called "The LorverEnd", where the vast majority of rhJpopulation was Scots-Irishstemming frorn the heavyimmigration from Northern Ireland in tlre decadebeginning abottt1727.

Boggs,Clarks and Baldridgcs in Lancastcr County

I haveprcviously stated, or implied,rvithout proof, that the AaronBoggs rvho filed the caveatagainst his srcp-faiher,Wiliiarn Reed,is the sarneAaron Boggsrvlto marricd u'idorv Rebecca Clark Baldridgeas well as ile Aaron Boggswho settledin CumberlandCounty and scrvcdin the RevolutionaryWar militia through 1782. The proofslie in the studyof the Clarksand Baldridges.

Thc narneBaldridge is frequentlyspelled without the last "d", or Baldrige,in manyof the early documents. I will usethe comrnoncurrent spelling,rvith the "d", exceptwhen quoting or citing original docurnents.Sirnilarly, in theseold documents,Boggs is often spelledBogs, Clark is oflen spelledClarke, and Rced spclledRead, Ried and Reid, but I rvill stick rvith the first spelling exceptrvhen quoting or citing. Many of thesefolks did not do their orvn rvritiug, and as in all documentsof this period, a natne u,asspcllcd accordingto horv it soundedto the one doing the u'riting.

William Clark rvasRebecca's father, as provenby his rvill. His rvill is datedMay 10, 1763,recorded in LancastcrCo., PA, Will Book A, page219. It u'asfilcd for probateon May 21,1763. He names Margarct1is tvife,sons Thornas and Joscph,u,ho apparently livcd u'ith tltcir parentson lheir "planlation", Oldcstson Pctcr. SonJohn. Sonin LarvJohn Blldrige. DauglitcrAttne.

DearMargarette;

I wasvery interested in the Confederate Soldiers in theJune , 2003issue of theOld PendletonDistriit Newsletter. In particularI am interestedin the LittletonSoldiers I havebeen tracing descendants of myG(3) Grandfather Jennings NIX andhis familyas theymoved froir PickensCounty, Souih'Carolina to Blount Cbunty, Alabama in '1850-51. Th-e youngest son of Jenningsand his wife Lucindia Alexander was William Nix b 5 April1832. About 1950 William married Elizabeth (Be1q1)_L!_TLFTON, b abt 1834, andthe 16 year old bride left her parents, Asa and Nancy LITTLETON for the new country of NorthAldbama They stayed in Alabamalong enough to haveone daughter, andmaybe a son,but returned to livenear her parents by the1860 census. That established my interestin theLittleton family. Inthe June Newsletter section on ConfederateSoldiers the first entry was Daniel LITTLFTON,(1837-191 1) | agreewith all of the data and can only add that he was the youngerbrother of Elizabeth,she was the oldest child in the family and he, was the third. Therewere three more sons in that family, Samuel Thomas b. 1841, William b 1844and Edwardb 1846.All three were of theage to serve,but I onlyknow of Williamserving. Wewill get to himlatter. The parents of thisfamily were Asa Littleton and Nancy N]I_l knownotfring about the ancestors of Nancy,but Asa was the son of WilliamLI|I-LETON andSarah Alexander Williams parents were Savage LITTLETON and Ann EDWARDS Sarahwas the daughter of DanielD. Alexander and Mary Murphree. Nowwe will discuss William; well both William NIX and William Littleton. To staftwith theywere first cousins, their Mothers were sisters. WilliamLIT|LETON > SarahALEXANDER > Daniel D. Alexander WilliamNIX > Lucindia(Letty) Alexander > DanielD. Alexander Theywere also brothers-in-law. William NIX married Elizabeth (Betsy) LITTLETON,the sister of William,and children of Asaand Sarah Littleton. They both also servedin the War, but I am notsure what units they served with. They both had wives beforethe War started. I haveall readydescribed William Nix and Elizabeth Littleton, WilliamLittleton married Seleta Guinn a sisterof hisbrother Daniel's wife Bethany Guinn. (seenewsletter) At thispoint the story becomes some what confusing, and I haveno solid proofor sourcematerial, but I understandthat William and William had an agreement that shouldeither not return from the War, the other would take care of hisfamily. And that is whathappened. William Littleton died about the end of thewar, I amstill searching for all thedetails. William NIX returned a yearor moreafter the end of theWar. He had been woundedand the family history is that he had a limpthe rest of hislife. william NIX left his wifeElizabeth LITTLETON and their seven children to marryher sister-in-law, Seleta GUINN.He had an additional three children by Seleta. I wouldhave thought that financial supportwould have settled his agreement with William LITTLETON, but I guessnot. Nowto continuewith the LITTLETONConfederate Soldiers, the nextlisting was Elijah I havea listingfor Asa ElijahLittleton, the son of DanielLITTLETON and MarthaAnn (POLLY)HUDSON He wasalso the grandson of Williamand Sarah (Alexander) LITTLETON.I do nothave a wifefor himand few otherdetails. He did howeverhave a 1862 | have brothernamed John Thomas LITTLETON, that died September .1861not hismilitary history, but any young man that died between and attempted'1865 to trace couldhave been a causalityof the War betweenthe States. I havehim marriedto ElizabethMOODY, with one daughter Carrie LITTLETON lf thisJohn Thomas is theone to servein Co G, 1zthSouth Carolina Infantry, he wouldhave been the Grandsonof Williamand Sarah (Alexander) LITTLETON, This woulcl frt because William was born 1780,leaving room for oneaddrtronal generation beforel i''...1 \,\is1' staried A.istr hrs wife may havebeen named Mary Elizabeth Moody.

Hi Margaret

I wantedto letyou knowthat the cemeterylot for LemuelAnderson Perry has been savedon the old Lenhardtproperty in Easley I hadmentioned to you on March5 2003 of a newsub-division of homesbeing built in an areanow called Forest Brook.

It seemsthat no phonecalls or answersto anycorrespondence with the Departmentof PublicWorks, Engineers for the site,etc were returnedsince they were notifiedin Feb 2002.I alsodid not receivea responsefrom the Dept.of PublicWorks when I wrote themin March2003 | did find someoneelse in chargeand sent a registeredletter to himon May29, 2003. They took charge and the situation was settled by June5, 2003. The engineerhas sectioned off the sectionof the gravesiteof approximately19 people Therewill be a fence putaround it andaccess to it from the road.Let's hope theyfollow it through

Thankyou for yourkind note I am lookingforward to yournewsletters and beinga rileffiberof yourGenealogy Society.

THE STORYTELLERS

We are the chosen. My feelings are that in each family there is one who seemscalled to find the ancestors.

To put flesh on their bones and make them live again.... to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts, but instead, breathing life into all who have gone before.

We are the storytellers of the tribe. AII tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes.Those who have gone before cry out to us: "Tell our story." So,we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves.

How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors,"You have a wonderful family.....you would be proud of us"? How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? | cannot say.

It goesbeyond just documenting facts. lt goesto who I am and why I do the things I do. It goesto seeinga cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference, and saying I can't let this happen.

The bones here are bones of my bonesoand flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goesto pride in what our ancestorswere able to accomptish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses,their never giving in or giving up' their resolutenessto go on and build a life for their family.

It goes to deep pride that they fought to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us.... that we might be born who we are. That we might remember them.

So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, becausewe are them and they are us. So, as a scribe, "I tell the story of my famity." It is up to the one called in the next generation to answer the call, and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. Thato is why I do my family genealogy,and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones.

1. At baptisp,--*f--t*re--gi-iye!r narnes were gi-ven to the child, the first giwen name was a spiritulf, saint's nane. The second giwen name was the secular or call nanoe. which is the name the person was known by, both within the f.mily and to the rest of the world. This custom lras originally adopted in Germanic and other reg'ions in Europe fron Roman CathoJ-i-c tradition and continued by the Protestants in their baptisnal na:ning custons. The im-igrants fron these areas brought the custom with then to Pennsylwania. The spi-ritual name/ usually to honor a faworite saint, was used repeatedJ.y and was usually given to all the children of that family of the sane gender. Thus the boys would be Johan Adrn Kerchner, Johan George Kerchner/ etc. , et Philip Peter Kerchner, Philip Jacob Kerchner, etc. Girls would be named Anna Barbara Kerchner, Anna Margaret Kerchner, etc., or Maria Elizabeth Kerchner, tlaria Catherlne Kerchner, etc. But aft,er baptisrn, these people would not be known as John, Philip, Anna, or Maria, reapectively. They would inetead be known by what we would think of now as their rniddle nantre, which waa their secular name. Thus these people would be known respectively as Adan, George, Peter, Jacob, Barbara, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Catherine in legal and secular records. For males, the saint's nane Johan or .fohn for Saint John was particularly heavily ueed by nany German fenilies, but aleo Saint George was used by some families for male children. The child's secular name was really .fohn, if and only if/ at baptisu he was named only .fohn, usually spelled as 'tohannes, with no second given nane. The name John spelled as .fohannes is rarely seen spelled as Johannes as a spiritual nartre, i.e., you rarely will see th€ nane at http://www. kerchner.com/germname.htm 8n9t2003 l8th Century PA German Naming Customs Pase2 of 6

baptisn recorded ae .Johannes Adaa Kerchner, etc. It is generally always found spelled as ,tohan or ,Johann when used as a spiritual nane. Thus, you find the spiritual name of ,fohn recorded as ,Johan Adam Kerchner or ,fohann Adau Kerchner, not ,Johannes Adanl Kerchner. Many researcherg, new to German nanes, who find a baptisrn of an individual with a naae such as Johan Adan Kerchner, thus mistakenly spend a }ot of time looking for a ,John Kerchner, in legal and census recordg, when he was known after baptisu, to the secular world, as Adam Kerchner. AIso when reading county histories, etc., especially those written by individualE in the 20th century, and the author is refe*5-ng to someone as .fohn Kerchner, and you are not looking for a John Kerchner, but the history sounds otherwise familj-ar, further research may turn up that this pelaon was really not a John Kerchner, but instead was someone else such as a Johan George Kerchner. You would thus find all his 18th century records recorded under the name George Kerchner and not John Kerchner and therefore after checking the data and correlating the facts you aay find this is really a story about your roissing George Kerchner.

As I said, the use of Saint John was the nost conmon example of this custorn, but Saint George was often used too. And thus one would find children in a family n:ned George Heinrich , George Jacob George Frederick , and of course sinply George ..... by itself. In thege s1:np].es the secular or ca]-l nanes would respectively be Heinrich, Jacob, Frederick, and George.

This naning custom slowly died out in Pennsylvania during the later part of the 19th century, i.e., after the 18?0's.

Classic examples of errors caused by not knowing of this nami"ng cugtom are seen in a work trtled "Genealogrical and Biographical Annals of Northunberland County PA", It was publrshed rn 1911 by J.L. Floyd & Company of Chicago II,. One speci-fic ex:nFle of this misnaning error in that work is on page 659 in the paragraph in the upper left coJ.umn which begins, "John Wetzel ...". This person is not a Johannes or .fohn lletzel but is instead a Johan 'rGeorge" VIetzeI and is known secularly in al.l lega1 records as George tletzel. He was narried to Eva Elizabeth Kerchner. There are many more 6;anples in this work and other county histories written by people unfaniliar with 18th Century PA Gernan Naning Customs.

Modern conputer prograns which generate autonatic reporta and books from geneal-ogical databaees are conpounding the confusion because these proglaes tend to generate paragraphs and sentences using the first given name only, which as I have explained was not the real call name of the person in the 18th century. Computer prograns need to be modi.fied to allow the user to select which given name of the full seriea of given names is the proper call naDe, i.e, the first or second given nane. Or better yet, the program should have a setting whereby both given names are always used together in tanden in the couputer generated text when referring to an individua1. Oh well, one can only hope. tSl

rrJunior" 2. The term "Seniortt and following a n:me did not necessarily iuply a father and son relationship, as it does now. It could have been an uncle and nephew who had the eame nane and lived near each other. ft could be a grandfather and a grandchild living together, where the father has died. It could even be two unrelated individuals with the sarne name but of

different ages who lived near each other. so to help friends and business associates keep track of who-was-who in their f'&." discussj-ons and records, they added on the "Sr." o! which merely meant the older and the younge!, respectively.

3. The term cousin was widely used to mean an extended family, not the specific legal defi-nition we understand it to be today.

4. rt was a conmon practi-ce in some German frmilies to name the first born son after the child's paternal grandfather and the second born son after the maternar grandfatber. Here are several nore detailed narning patterns practiced by some families.

Pattern A

1st son after the father's father 2nd son after the mother,s father 3rd son after the father 4th son after the father's father's father 5th son after the nother's father's father 6th son after the father's mother's father 7th son after the nother's nother's father

1st daughter after the mother's nother 2nd daughter after the father's mother 3rd daughter after the nother 4th daughter after the fatherfs father's nother 5th daugrhter after the mother's father's mother 6th daughter after the father's mother's mother 7th daughter after the nother's rnother,s mother

Pattern B

The pattern B for the sons is the sanne as the a-bowe but this pattern for daughters lvas different

1st daughter after the father,s uother 2nd daughter after the mother's mother 3rd daughter after the mother 4th daughter after the mother's father's nother 5th daughter after the father's father's mother

Pattern C

1st son after the father's father 2nd son after the mother's father 3rd son after the father's oldest brother 4th son after the father

1st daughter after the father'e mother 2nd daughter after the mother's nother 3rd daughter after the nother's oldeet sister Ath daughter after the mother

wtrenever a duplicate nane occurred in these pattelns, the next name in the eerieg was uged. rf a chi_ld died in infancy the name was often reused for the next child of the same grend,er. A rare twist occurred sometimes. A childrs name would be reused http://www. kerchner.com/germname. htm 8t19t2003 lSth CenturyPA GermanNaming Customs Page4 of 6

when a spouse died and the surviving apouEe r€Darried and had more children with the next sPouse. I found this happened when a spouse had children in Germany and then hie spouse died.

If you are lucky enough to find a fanily with a lot of chi_Idren, who strictly followed one of thege naming Patterns, then it may give you useful cluee to detelDining the possible nan€s of fo-ily oembers in earlier generations'

5. An "in", added to the end of a nam€, Such a8 Anna I'taria Kerchnerin, is a Germanic langrrag€ nane ending suffix denoting that the person is fenale. Thue the correct spelling of the last name in the example would be Kerchner, not Kerchnerin.

An,,er,, Or "ner", added tO a baeed On the nane occuPatl-on' denoted that the Peraon worked with that object or at that rf the nain portion of the nane was an object o! an occupation, or that portion the person was from that geographic location or city, if the main of the name was a geographic location. ExinFles: Forgt is German for a forest, thus Forster is one who worked in a forest or with woodlands or was from a forest. Berlin is a city in Germany, thus Berliner is one who i_s fron Berlin. Since English is a G€rDanic rooted langruage xe do the same thing in English, i.e., Paint(er), Garden(er), New York(er) '

The suffixes nentioned in 5. and 6. above ale comPounded in many casea. The nouns Kirche and Kerche are G€rnan words for church. Thus for the surname spelled in an early record ae Kerchnerin, i.e., Kerch(ner)(in) we hawe a family name whi-ch means a p€raon rho worked in or near a church, and this parti-cular pergon ie female.

i. Frequently the secular naue given to the child wae algo the same as the secular given name of one of the baptiaaal aPonsora for the child. Said baptismal sponsors frequently were close relativeg but aleo could be close and trusted friends and neighbore.

B. In the last half of the 19th century after the first and niddle nalne gave narning convention switched to the way it ia today, sole fanilies all the children the sane middle name, which rtaa often the naiden name of the nother of the children. this same middl€ nan€, which if it was a surnzune' George could also be that of a famoue patriot, auch as Benjamin Franklin or Washington. But, if all the children had the eame niddle na:tre' this could be a clue to the maiden name of their uother.

when he sells his propertyto CharlesCummings on Jan. 7, 1783 [CumberlandCounry DeedBook lF, pg. 2771that he bought it from the heirs of JosephMitchell in October, 1763.

Aaron Boggs applied for a land lvarrant for 100acres in LetterkennyTownship. presumablythe same land that he had occupiedfor 4 years,on April 10, 1767. This tract was adjoinedby the land of Adam Simmsor Simmons,the North Mountain(now calledBlue Mountain),and JamesClark [WestEnd WarrantApplication 341'7,LO 1.81. The orderto suweyrvas dated a day later,April I l, 1767. Aaron only held the right to that land until Oct. 14, 1769,when he deededit to ChristianShank. Shankrcturned the surveyon April 25, 1770[PA SurveyBook C-133-9],but the ultimate patentwas issuedto James McCalmonton Sept.6, 1785[PA PatentBook P-3,pg 190]. The land, in the patent,is callcd"Aaron's Camp." In one of the frequentpeculiarities of the Penns'land system,the rvarrantcited in the patent is not the original Aaron Boggs'order to survey,but a "warrant of acceptance"in the name of James McCalmont'sdated August 29, 1785. [CumberlandCo.-M-487, LO 3.51]. This warrantrefers to the original Aaron Boggs applicationNo 3417 and the surveyorder date of April ll, 1'/61.

PeterClark is on the Letterkennytax list in 1764, 1767-l'7'71,l"l'13 & 17'74. It the early years,he is generallytaxed for 100or 150 acres. But in 1"7'13and l'774, it drops to 50 acres. Aaron Boggs is on the Letterkennytax list in 1765,disappears for a time,and then reappearsin 1"172and 17'13with 80 acres.It is curiousthat he doesnot appearthe years he holdsthe warrant,l'767-1769. James Clark is much more stable. He is on the tax rate list in LetterkennyTownship for almost everyyear they are availablefrom 1763to 1782. His properryusually contains 200 acres,some years 100 or I50 acres. Jamesalso serveson severaljuries and as a observerof roads. A mountaincalled "Clark's Knob" and a gap next to it called "Clark'sGap" are saidto be nameda-fter James Clark. JamesClark did not applyfor his warrantuntil Feb 2'7,1773, when he rvarranted200 acres[Cumberland Co.-C-250, LO 3.471 One of tlre neighbors mcntionedwas JamesMcCalmont. and the land lvasalready improved.

T*'o otherBoggs, James and John,appear in Letterkennytax rolesdunng the periodof Aaron'srcsidence tlrere. Jamesappears in l'767and Johnin 1776,l78l and 1782. Thesenames are clues to the siblingsof Aaron. There is no year before 1783in which more than one Boggs appearson the Letterkennytax roll. It couldbe, and this is speculation,that theyall livedon a portionof the land orvnedby PetcrClark aftcr Aaron sold his rightsto "Aaron'sCamp" in 1769but only oneof them appearedin the tax rolls at any one tlme.

Examination of land surveysin the Kittochtinny Historical Societyin Chambersburg,PA, shorvsthat the land of Peter Clark was separatedfrom the land of JamesClark by lessthan half a mile (the short sidc of Adam Simm's property). Peterwas due eastof James. The village of Upper Strasburgis on the land owned by JamesClark. Aaron Boggswarrant was adjacentto JamesClark, to the southwest. Aaron and Peterwere about a mile apart, centerto center,while Aaron occupiedthe land in his warranl, 1763-1769.

The PennsylvaniaMilitia was organizedunder the Act of the Assemblyof March 17, L'771that required compulsoryenrollment by constablesof all able-bodiedwhite malesbetween the agesof l8 and 53 to repel invaders." In the RevolutionaryWar Military AbstractCard File, PA Digital Archives, (ARIAS), there is a record datedJuly 14,l^l'78, Aron Boggs,Pvt., Cumberland, 6th Bat, 8th Co., Capt. Sam Pattenthat includesa Muster Fine of 100 lbs. Evidently he didn't show up for Muster. (fhere is an almost identical recordfor a JamesBoggs, Pl't., Cumberland,but in a different unit). Aaron did servelater. Aaron Boggs appearson the ClassRolls of the First Company,Fourth Battalion of CumberlandCounty Militia, Commandedby LieutenantColonel Sam'l Culbertson, Captain John McConnell's Company,in the years 1780,81, and 82. So doesAlexander Baldridge. The sourceis Penns-vlvaniaArchives. Fifth Senes. Volume VI. CumberlandCounry Rev. War rolls, pages267,302 and 309.

PeterClark sold his land to CharlesCummings in January,1783. In the deedit is describedat containing 254 Acres.

Tltc articleon William Todd,Volumc 5, pagc7l l, hassirnilar lore on thc BaldridgcIarnily

It is clearby exalniningthe threereferenccd articles in Seilheirner'sGencalogical Nolcs that ltis sourceon the extensiveBaldridge and lirnitedBoggs family historicsrvas a JohnBaldridge of Latrobcand latcr Braddock,PA, born in 1831. This Johnwas a grandsonof thc JoscphBaldridge tltat tnarricdMary Todd. Josephwas oneof theyoungest children of JohnBaldridge and Rcbccca,thought to be a tu'in of their daughterAnn.

that birth date. In Rebecca'spetition for supportof her children, Josephis the next-to-lastnarned child of John and Rebecca(between Ann and RebeccaJr.). This meanstlut this Josephrl'as raised in the fiouscholdof Aaron and RebeccaBoggs frorn age 7, if the consensusbirth date is corrcct (it may bc too earlyas Joscphdid not servein the RevolutionaryMilitia alongside his step-fatherAaron and brother Alexanderin 1780,8l and 82.) Josephdid not, in any case,go to North Carolinarvith his motherand step-fatherin about 1783,at leastpcrrnanently. He insteadlocated in WesttnorelandCo., PA, rvherehe built a flouring ntill.

To sururnarizethis scctioll,thc proof that the Aaron Boggsrvho rnarricdRebccca Clark Baldridge in LancastcrCounty is lhc sanrcas thc AaronBoggs of CumberlandCounty is the fact that Aaron and Alcrandcr Baldridgc,Rcbccca's son, wcrc in the sameCumberland Counfy Militia Unit 1780-1782.

This is a preview to subsequentdiscussion, but I believethat the first record is a diffeient Aaron. Norv that we know that our Aaron's father was William and not Joseph,it is clear that the Josephrvho was in Tryon County in April and October 1769rvas not our Aaron's father. But that Josephcould be father of anothcr Aaron. And there is evidence,not absoluteproof, that this Josephis tlte Josephrvho rvasin Lancasterand CurnberlandCounties of Pennsylvaniafrom the early 1730sto 1765.

Tryon County rvasformed frorn MecklenburgCounty in 1768and abolisltedin 1779to form Rutherford and Lincoln countics. At its formation and until the border survcyof l'772, Tryon County includcd all or portionsof the South Carolina countiesof York, Chcster,Union, Spartanburgand Chcrokee. (Alfrcd Nixon, The North CarolinaBooklet, January 1910, pg. I l2). So recordsin Tryon Co. bcfore1772 could be on eithcr sidc of the current NC/SC border,but after 1779,a Lincoln Co. recordu'as definitcly north of the bordcr. Later Lincoln rvasfurther divided into ClevelandCounty ( I 84 I ), CatarvbaCounty ( I tt'|2) and GastonCounty (1846).

At the January,1786, court John u'as ll

found guilty and it was orderedthat he be confrnedin the stocksfor halfan hour and be fined the sum of fir,e shillings. John was also the defendantin civil actionsconsidered by the July, 1786,and July, 1787, scssionsof the court. John apparentlyrvas forced to sell 160 acresof land in Novembcrof 1787to satisff a judgrncnlagainst him.

Thc Tombstones

Wc knou'that the Boggsfamilv, in the early 1800s,moved frotn eastcrn Lincoln Co. to rvhatbccatne Clq'cland Co. in l8-ll. In the Knob CreekMethodist Church Cernetcry in ClcvclandCounty, NC, there Irrctornbsloncs (or rccordsof tombstones)on the gravcsof Rcbeccaand ltcr tl'o Boggssons. In 1939,lhc WPA conductcda North Carolinahistorical rccords sun'eJ', and on April 13.sun c)'cdlltis celnctcry. Hcrc arellte 3 rccordscntcred in that sun'e\':

"Boggs.Rebccca, -, Julv l, 1823" "Boggs.Jamcs, 1767, 1812" "Boggs,William C..|7771, Nov 16,l8-12. Age: 65 ycars" t2

Two of the graves are still marked today. Rebecca'sstone, while weathered,clearly says "In Memory of RebeccaBoggs who died July lst 1823in the 99th year of her age" The sloneon William's grave says"ln Memory of William Boggs Snr. tvho died Nov. 16 1842,Aged 65 years." The stoneon,James'grave is either illegible or gone. It looks like the WPA derivedthe birth year in their recordby subtractingthe age (65) from the deathdate (1842) arriving at a birth year(1777), rvhich they put in bracketsindicating it was derived. Curiously,they did not enter a derivedyear on Rebecca'srecord. Possiblythey could not readthe full inscription. If rve do the samecalculation for Rebecca,rve rvould arrive at a birth year of 1725(She was in her 99th year,age 98, when shedied in 1823.)

But rveknorv for surethat the deathdate on Rebccca'sstone is approximatelya year late, as her rvill rvas enteredfor probatein October1822. We alsohave estirnated William's birth as early l771with solid logic. So his stoneis wrong too. He was not 65, but 68, when hc dicd in November,1842. James'stone is also almost certainly wrong on his birth year. rvhich the WPA recordcdas 1767. His mother and father wcre not marrieduntil July of l'7(>9,and rvhilehc couldhave been an earlybaby born in lale 1769,he almost certainly could not have arrivcd bcforc the marriage. The Lancastercourt rvould not have looked favorablyon her rcquestfor supportof her Baldridge children had shegiven birth to an illegitimate child beforeMarch l, 1768. As to the possibilityhe rvasa child by an earlieru'ife of Aaron,Rebccca calls him "lny son" in ltcr rvill.

The conclusionis that the pcoplervho placcdthc tornbstonesdidn't knorv horv old thesedeceased folks were. Likely the pcoplethcn-rselves didn't knorv. It is interestingtlut the erroncousbirtlt yearson or derivcd from Jamcs'and William's stones u'ould havc thcrn eachrnarrying at age23. Maybe the pcople rvhoordcred the stonesknerv rvhcn thcy n'ercrnarricd and derivedthcir birrh yearor ageby subtracting the samenurnber, 23. Thct' dicd u'ithin a lnonlltof eachotltcr.

Jcnny(Jcan, Jicn) uas thouglrtto bc 1'oungerthan Williarn,and hcr birth rvasgivcn as 1778(a yearaftcr William'stornbslone-dcrivcd datc). I havenot bccnable to ltnd any basis for suchthinking, and concludcJcnny'rvas bctrvcen James and William, as that is thc orderin thcir nrotlrer'snill. So lny bcstestirnatc for Jcnnv'sbirth is l-l'll-1773. Shecould be a tu'in of William (1774), bascdon thc fact that her horseand furnilureu'ere includcd in hcr fathcr'sestate, but shervas a )'oung woulanliving u'ith hcr parcnlsl'hcn hcr fatherdied, and probabh'not cntitledto propcrtyin hcr name evcnllrough she u.as 22 lo 24. But I'll go u'itlt ca. 1172,

We can alsodeterrnine an agc rangefor Aaron. From the cavcatand his gil'cn nanre. Aaron is allnost certainlythe oldestliving son in the Williarn and JaneBoggs' family. We nccdto be carefulrvith the u'ordinfan( as usedin the cavcat,as legallyit meantundcr 2l . But "small" had no legalnteaning, and if Aaron rvas"slnAll" n'hen Williarn Boggsdied in early 17,15,he probablyrvasn'l over 16. And rveknorv he rvaslikely the oldestofat least3 childrenin 1745,so probablyat least4 yearsold. A goodestimale of Aaron'sbirth is thereforebctl'een 1728and l7-f l. We can conlirrn 1728as the earliestdate by the fact that Aaron servedin the niilitia in l'782,and he rvouldn'thave had to if he \\'asover 53 by the Pennsylvaniaregulation requiring militia scn,ice(unlcss of coursehe choseto sen'eirrespective of his age.) The fact that Aaron doesnot appearas a legal person,for exampleon a tax roll, before 1764argues that he rvasborn torvardthe end ratherthan the beginningofthis l3 yearrange. The factthat he marricd u'idol,Rebcccaargues that he u'asborn torvardthe bcginning ofthis range,that is ifyou acceptthc Baldridge lore aboutRebccca.

Most evcrything I knorv about the Baldridge lore I havelearned from David Baldridgc of Sarasota.FL, and from the three articlesalready cited in the Seilheirncrrvork. David, in lurn, often quotesthe book Our BaldridqeForebears and Someof their CollateralLines by ChesterKennedr', already cited. David and I have dcbatedho'n, lo interpret the knorr,nfacts for over a )'ear. The lore aboutRebecca has her born ca. l3

1720. Sheis saidto havemarried John Baldridge in Irelandabout 1733 (at age l2 or l3). Tltis is necessaryfor her to have John Baldridge'sfirst son Williarn in about 1734as proposedby Kennedy. Kennedyalso citesBernard Boggs'conclusion that JennyBoggs was the youngestchild of Rcbecca,born tZZg, which rvould have her delivering babiesfor 44 years,well into her late 50s. While rve all agreethat Rebeccarvas a remarkableu'oman, that's beyond belie["!

We havehelped the lore a bit by bctterestimating the lastBoggs baby to havebcen born in early 1774,so if Rebeccalras reallyborn in 1720.hcr threeBoggs children u'ere all born,according to estilnatesin tltis paper,rvhen she rvas bctrveen 50 and 54. Whilc not impossible,still quitebeyond reasonable estirnates of the childbcaringagc of a u'otnanof the cighteenthcentury'

It seemsmuch more logical to me that Rcbcccawas youngcr,and probablythe secondrvife of John Baldridge. If hcr tonrbstoncis closcto bcingcorrcct that shervas 98 rvhenshe died (in mid 1822)'hcr tnakcshcr birth rvouldhave bcen in latc 1723or carll' 1724. Just{oo young to havea child in 1734.
