-i CO\lP['TER.{ND ON-LINECLASS by HermanGeschwind

Lart msnth rre clr ered GEDCOII import. or how to add information from a GED file to a ne$ or existing Familr Origins Database. This step is simple and rather straighfforward.

To erporr rlata from a Familr Origins Database doeshal'e a number of options that need to be considered. \\ hen tht E\PO RT feature is inr okcd. the first screenhas three setsof options:

The tgpm6st panel dealsnith the tlpe of GED to be created(l) General,(2) Ancestral File and (J) Temple Rcarlr. Thc dcfault is Generalnhich is.justright for normal GEDCOM file erchange. The other two formats har e to do n ith rpecialrequirements of the LDS Church.

The boftom panel has options to include notes ass

The middle panel has some real interesting options as to which individuals should be exported. The default settingis,.EntireDatabase",*hichistheeasiesttohandle.Theotheroptionisto"Selectlndiriduals".nhichis a ver]' powerful feature with which we deal later.

The GEDCOM File to Create menu has some powerful options which are not quite obvious. The normal choice for transmitting a GEDCOM file as an E-mail attachment is to specify a directorv and file name on the hard disk. such as C:\AOL\upload\Smith. Family Origins will automatically add the correct file extensionto the file name. Now. assuming that you want to mail diskctteswith vour database. Here the path nill be: A:\Smith. The nice thing about the GEDCOM standard is that if the Databaseto be exported happens to be larger than what one diskette will hold. then the program will fill the first diskette to capacit;-and then prompt for a second diskette.etc.. untit the entirc selectionhas beenwritten to diskette. When 1'ouspecifl diskette outp ut. ,iu st m ake sure that the disketteshave been formaited crror-frce and are propcrlr labcled. Another consideratir-rnir that the output to diskette is not cornpre3sed,so that when the databasecontains sereral thousand records, quite a number of tliskettesn'ill be required [to put the 125,000record OPD Databaseon diskettestould require 2{ disks -ouchl.

Here is Quite often the intent is not to export the Entire Database put only specific famil-r-lines or individuals. where Famill' Origins does provide some unique features. Invoke the option "Select People to Export". When thisischecked.theFamilvOriginsbrowsewindowcomesup.Typeinthenameofthestartingpersonsuchas SMITHJoe and then double click on his name. The next choice is to mark either all the descendants or ancestors of the selecterlperson. So, if ]'ou want to exchange the entire SMITH family line, find the oldest SMITH in the database and then select "His/[Ier Descendants". Normally with this option you should also check ,'Include Spousesof Individuals". Family Origins will ruminate for a while doing the marking and then invoking "OK" *ill get the file creation started.

The revers option would be to select a given SMITH and then mark "His/Her Ancestors", again including spouses.

Another feature of Export Selected Individuals which I believe is unique to Family Origins is that with the to our SNIITH selection window up, !'ou can click on any individual to have her/him included in the file. Back example. We want to erport ALL the Smitbs in our Database. Some are the descendantsof SMITHZachariah but we have a number of others which may tle descendants but are as yet unlinked. Here the steps are to select and mark Zachariah and all his descendants. The selection window will show all the SMITHs that have been automatically marked by a little "x" to the left of the name. Now we can go back and manuall] mark all the others SMITHS b-'-highlighting and double clicking the unmarked names.

The ability to Select Individuals also comes in handy when vou receive a GEDCOM that contains several famill lines and you want to examine and even merge only-specific groups of individuals. Assuming that 1ou receir ed a file that contains Mercks, Evans, Gaines and Smith and ]'ou want to work with the Smith line onl1. Here 1ou can use the Export SelectedIndividuals to mark only'the descendantsof a given individual. then create a mini- GEDCOM which can be re-imported into J'our main databaseand then merged and linked. A handl and powerful feature which witl save a lot of keystrokes and eliminate possible transcription error.

I have rrot made a definite contact with our South Carolina heritage but I believe it could be a John TUMLIN listed as head of the household in the 1790 SC csnsus for Edgefield Co. However there is a James TOMLIN in the same county, so I am not sure- There is a John TUMBLIN in the 1810 SC census of Pendleton District arrd a John TOMBELINGin the 1820 census of Pendleton District. I hope to correspond with someone who may be able to "shed some light" on my family. A couplication is the spelling of the name: TUMBLIN' TUMBLING' TOMLIN etc.

Southern Issue: 4 March 1858 COMPUTER AND ON-LINE CLASS by Herman Geschwind A Matter of Style One of the benefitsof using a computerand a genealogyprogram is the eary-way with which family histones,group sheetsand chartscan be produced. How accomplishedand professional the output will look is determinedvery much on how the informationwas enteredin the first place. It truly is "a matter of style". Following are somethoughts on the subject.

Last Namesur CapitalLetters? There is no compellingreason why Last Namesneed to be enteredrn all capital letters. My personal preferenceis to usenormal upper and lower casefor the following reasons:(l ) Many programswill automaticallybold face all last names. Now, a combinationof all capital lettersplus bold facingjust is a bit much. (2) Somelast namessuch as MCCLANNAI-LAM, etc., are hard to read rn all capital letters.(3) Last, but not least,names in all capital letterstake up quite a bit of additionalspace. Severalhundred names can quickly addup and generateadditional pages which will only run up the printing cost.Whatever vour personalpreference may be, one thing that doeslook ugly is to have somenames in all capital lettersand somein mixed case I lere the best thrng to do is go back and edit one or the other to have a consistents$le ofpresentation.

UnknownLast or First Names:Fields for lastname or ltrst nameshould not be skippedor lcli blank Entcrplace holders such as: ??, --. Unknownor Unknwn. Thenice part of usinga proprirmto producevour book is thatusualh rt u'rll alsoautomattcallv index all nalnes. Whathappens when the lastname field is left blankand Maggie is enteredas a llrst namcan.i last narnc- skrpped. then Maggre mav showup as a last namein the index. 'l'her Nicknames:Firstly my personalpreference is to be spanngu rth thc uscol'nrckname s Jo scn c a pwposes henthere \\'ere two personswith the samefirst andmiddle name livrng at lhc samctrme ln thc samcc(rrrrmunln ( )nc s asknoun bv all as"Red" andthe other as"Stoop".Insuchacase,thenicknamemrptrtevcnbc-shorrnrnthcti.rtuan Just,j..nit.rcrdothcnrcknames That\{an'Illzabethu'as calledeither"Betty"or"Lizzs''oru'hateverisgrcatbutlocntsrnrcknamcsli-rincanJaiirs.tustabttmuch Second.il'anrcknamcrstohc shoun.it shouldbe enteredfollou ing lirst andlast namc Thc rea*n lirr thrsagaln ls thc rndcr sonlng Il' a nicknamcrs encit)sed rn quotatronmarks, it will sortlirst amongthc hrst namcsIcramplc Bem \lan I:lrzatcth iioulJ sorl aheadol'Ada.

Whate'"'ervour prefercncemight bc, tn to be consistentTo haveSouth Carolina vanouslr shour as :outl ( er,'ilna "Sou Carolina"."SC" "S C ", or "Sou.Car.'' all in the samebook does not look vervprol'essional

PlaceNames - Counties:Mv preferenceis to usecounties where they serve a usefulpurpose either rn rdcntrhrngsmaiicr corrrrrrunltrcs ()r placeswith identicalnames but difl'erentcounties. To me adding"Cook County"to "Chicago" doesnot ser-rc a usc'tulpurposr' and rl' repeatedoften enough just addsbulk but no addedinformation. Whatever yow preference,do usea conslslentsn lc lbr abbrerratrngcounn A mix of "Coun!v".,"Co.", "Cnq'" or whateterdoes not look veryprofessional.

PlaceNames - Length:There are two goodreasons for usingjudicious abbreviations for placenames. An obvtousonc rs thatsomethrng hke :"CrossRoads Baptist Church Cemetery, Pickens County, South Carolina" when repeated often enough tn a lamtlr hrston htxrkrvrll adda lot of bulk. Secondly,many genealog,ypro€rams allow only a limited spacefor placenames and whatever exceeds the hmrt s'ill be cut otl l'he rule of thumb is to limit placenames to no more than forty charactersto be on the safeside.

PlaceNames - Birth Place:Here the suggestedstyle is to showthe nameof the town, countywhere appropnateand statc The lact that the little darling was born at the GreenvilleGeneral Hospital or At Home, 124 EastAlice Mill Road in Easley,Pickens Countr', South Carolina is greatinformation and shouldbest be shownin a historynote attachedto the brth entr_v.The birth place still shouldread: Greenville,SC., or Easley.Pickens Co., SC. Again what we are striving for is a consistentmanner of presentation.

Dates:It is best to staywith the commonlyaccepted ways of showinguncertain dates: b [for before],c [for crca or about], and a [for after]. Avoidnon-standardwayssuchas"Aroundl8l0","Betweenl840-1850"or"1810?",etc.Ifthecompletedateisnotknown,itisbestnotto entera fragnent suchas " l 8 Mar" [if the year is not know, best leavedate field blank andmake a cornmentrn a tustorynote.] Twins, Tnplets, etc.: This informationshould be shownin a note. Do not attacha notationsuch as (Twin) to any of the namefields. The reasonagain is that this will causeproblems when sortingnames. Con't on Lewis Redmond

ANDERSON COUNTY SOUTH CAROLINA

Thesewills were abstractedfrom, WILL RECORDS OF OLD PENDLETON DISTRICT ANDERSON COUNT WILL BOOK VolumesI and 2. Thesevolumes are locatedin the AndersonCounty Library.

Thesewills were typed in 1933and there are numerousmistakes in them. When compared with the presentindex two thingswill be noticed.l- Many of the wills do not occur in the presentprobate index. 2- the datesare not alwaysthe samewhen the witls do occur in the index.

I was amazedto find so many Biblical names.The samenames occurred in many families. Most familieshad one son namedafter the father and in order to help keepthem separated I haveadded "Jr." floweverrsome of the wills added"Sr." and "Jr."

I said nothing and turned over to set my pistol from under my pillow and saw that Hendricks had run around behind me and had my pistol within a few inches of my head. Several of them jumped upon me at once and held me down and pinned my arms and then they t.urned me over on my bacl< and Earton and Gary tied my wrists close together. It was all done in a moment but when l-hey jumped on me I thought to myself, 'if there were only two of you, how quick I could turn you under.' It I had done SO, however, they would have riddled me with buckshot and balIs so I thought I would wait. "Nhen they were tying me they used a small st.rong rope and they pulled mighty lrard on it. I had a 'rising' on one wrist and they hurt me prettt badlyi they broke the rising ' and cured it - 'Here is the rent nou.r. he said , laughi ng - But if they had torn my arm off I would.n't have said a word. t^JhenI was tied, Bai-ton asked me if I was Major Redmond?

"i1e ordered me to get up, but pulled so hai-d on the end of the rope he had me tied urith that I couldn't get up. It is no easy thins to rise when you are on you back with your hands tied. I tried to do so, but couldn't get up guick enought to please him and t.hen he kicked at fil€, his boot grazing my side I If he had kict eO me squarely he would have hurt me. Though f don't tlrink he could have hurt me much, that night, whatever he did, but that hlas enough. I felt Iike I ws as strong as three men, and sprang up I don't know how. "f kept quiet, however, and Ehey held me and Barton ran his hand into my pocket and took out my pocketbook. I had one hundr ad and eishty-six dollarc . He asl(ed me if it was mine. I eaid.

He gave m€ a hat and coat and shoes and a gun and ammunition. I then went back to the road, which I knew they would have to travel, and waited for them. I heard them gettins ready to start with Amos and aII were talking and shouting together. They had captured a hish strung black mare of mine, and when they hitched her to the wagon to start one of them whipped her, and she b.gan to kick things to pieces generallx. "Barton was anxious to Set away, so Amos told me afterwards, and stood by t^lith his gun aiming at every noise he heard in Lhe bushes. They got started finally; the bay mare did all Lhe puling, as the black mare Nas mad; and I heard them coming up the road. Amos was crying: he uJas nothing but. a boy, then. and f can't teII you hor,rI feIt.. "I just deemed to sxelL, I felt so big, but I couldn't help from crying myself. I kneurmy oun wagon by the black 'rnare, which I could see against the snohJbank. Their's was a one-horse concern and was in front, and just as soon as it came within reach I levelled my gun and fired! I heard some one holler. 'Run! runl run! ' and heard Barton s:ty, 't^Jhat's the matt,er?' I thought to myself. you wait a minute and I wiII show you what's the matter. Then €ome one in the fo*emost wagon fired at me two or three times and they aII feII out of the wagon, and as t.hey ran up the snow bank into the bushes I f ired again. My gun Nas loaded r^rith buckshot, and then I heard some one groaning and I thought, 'I have got meat this time.' I shot six more times, but the banks were so high that I overshot them and didn't geL anybody. "one of them, Charley t^,llrite. had caught a shot in his riiigh, and as Amos. wlro Nas Lirerr do,itine behind Ehe barrele, told me afterwards, tr ied his be::i t.o aer- under ()r into Amoo 'L) for prot-cct ion.

Hereis goodnews for memberswith Internetaccounts [CompuServe, Prodiry, or otherInternet Service Providers]: A GEDCOM file of the Old PendletonDatabase is nowavailable for downloadat thefollowing address: http ://www.web4free. com/loope r/OldPend.zip

Dependingon your connectspeed and network congestion,the FTP [InternetFile TransferProtocol] downloadshould take around30 minutes. If the network is congestedand FTP indicatesthat the downloadwill take longer than 30 minutes,cancel and try again at a different time.

The file is compressedas a standardZlP file and requiresPKLJNZIP.EXE or a similar unZipper. If you do not have PKUNZIP searchthe Internetfor a sharewarecopy and instructionson how to usePKUNZIP.

Systemrequirements. The Old PendletonDatabase by now is a big file. The compressedFEB07.ZlP is slightly larger than 5 megabytes.30 megabytesof free hard disk spacewill be requiredto Unzip or extractthe GEDCOM from the compressedfile. To import all of it into Family Origins or a similar GEDCOM compatibleprogram requires an additional 70 to 90 megabytesof - free hard disk space.[Once the GEDCOM import succeeds,theZIP file and the GEDCOM can be deleted but ample free disk spaccis a mustl. A Pentiumclass system will be a big help but evenwith that, the GEDCOM import into a genealogyprogram can take anlu'here from as lirtle as'onehour to as long as severalhours, so be patient,there is a lot of information to be processed.Note: All this appliesto PC compatiblecomputers only, we cannotassure that this servicewill work for Maclntosh users.

As we receiveadditions and updates to the DatabaseProject. nerv versions rvill be postedto the aboveWEB site on a monthly basrs,usually around the lOth of a month.

Membcrs who are subscribersto America On Line [AOL]will continueto receivetheir monthly updatesas a file attachmentto an Email message.If you are an AOL subscriberand would prefer to receivea copy via AOL, pleasepost a messagoto my attentionat: [email protected],and you will be addedto the distribution list.

As of February'1998, the Old PendletonDatabase now containsinformation on 150,000individuals and 51,000 families with roots in the Old Pendletonarea, principally PickensCounty, but Oconee,Greenville and AndersonCounties are also coveredto someextent.

To recapwhat the Databaseis and is not, hereis a brief summary:For individualsthe Databasewill show namesand datesand placeswhere born, married and died and buned. Therewill be links to spouses,children, parents and siblings. Many family lines are reasonablycomplete and will cover many generationsand decades.To conservespace, we cannotinclude source citations and lengthy text files.

The data for the file camefrom membercontributions and many other sources.While we do our best to assureprogram consistencyand integrity, we cannot verift the information submittedto us by others. For that reasonthe Databaseshould be viewed as a researchtool and readyreference and as a guideto further researchand genealogicalproof.

This is very much of an ungoingproject and as new informationbecomes available, not only will individual and family records be added,but information containedin existing recordsmay change. So, as new versionsare posted, the old version should be deletedand the new one usedfor reference.

Additions and correctionsare alwaysmost welcomeand shouldbe addressedto: [email protected] files are preferredbut Email messagesor text files are also welcome. This is a giant puzzleand every little bit helps! Our sincerethanks to all the memberswho contributedto the project. ---l

I am interested in the Henry P. HILL listed on the 1B80 census for Central, SC--the younges t son, Herber t , was my grandf ather . My grandmother It[inni e or Minna Lee SAMMONSmarrir:d Herbert HILL in 1904 and lived in Greenville, SC; her brother, Tom, lived in Pickens Co SC and was a Jailer, I believe- married Eula WILLIAIT'ISin 1902. On my husband's maternal side: RICE (may be decended from Henry RICE who lived in the area atrout mid-1700's and son Daniel may have been born there). Daniel's son Lewis is probably the Lewis RICE who is my husband's ggrandfather, born in TN 1?9?, trut I need to find the appropriate link.

I am deseended from TAYLOR and McCAIN on my Dad's side, McALISTER and GREEN on my Mother's side--all settled very early in the area. Need help.

J. Paul Woodard. 220 Chatuea Drive. Ft t{orth. TX 76123-'1605 E-Mai l: woood.ardpGswbel l.net Need info on the folloring: Ben HOLDERb. in Pendleton District, SC in 1825. I think he married Malinda FURGUSONand both are apparently buried in the Secona Baptist Church Ceneter according to the cenetery survey printed by Old Pendleton Chapter. I am trying to confirm that Ben and Malinda had a daughter that married George McDuf f ie THOIIIPSON,soon af ter the Civi I War. I found the family located at Clayton Mill on the 1860 census. He is 36' Efeline 28, Rebecca 2, and Anna It{. 1. I know that he was a Baptist Preacher and that he served several Churches in the Pickens Area.

In l8?0 George THOITIPSONand Sallie are listed in their own household with a one year old son, Harrison. In an excert from the Keowee Courier the couple had lost a 15 month old son born about 1866. My grandfather' Harrison' was less than seven when his mother died after giving birth to a daughter born 10 April 18?5. The children were too young to remember their mothers name. Thus, I arn looking for a Sallie or Sarah that married George M. THOIIIPSON about 1865. Anyone that can hlep ne rill be most appreciated.

THANK YOU: I spoke rith the Old Pendleton District Chapter of the SC Genealogical Society back in the winter of 199? about conducting a survey for a class at Clemson University. I sent out 200 questionnaires to selected folks from the nembership list. I have completed my research and my paPer from the results. I would like to thank you all for your help, the former President, Dr Willian Whitten, for his permission to do this research, and all the members rho responded to my questionnaire. I was pleased to see so many of the 200 sent back completed. This made my project easier. Also I would like to thank the respondents who noticed my typing error on the second page and figured out what I really meant.

A SundavAfternoon visit to Old Pickens

On Sunday, November 23, 1997 my parents, Clyde and Geneva HUNTER YOUNGBLOOD, and I traveled to the banks of the Keowee River to mark the grave of my father's great-grandparents. Samuel and Gracie Ann MARTIN YOUNGBLOOD had been buried besidethe Keowee since the 1870's and family tradition had kept the information alive - but the graveswere not marked very well.

Samuel and his first wife Martha had traveled from the Edgefield District around 1810to a farm on Four Mile Creek where the creek intersectsthe KeoweeRiver. At the point where the river makesa huge curre called Big Bend or Hughes Bend, they farmed and raisedfour children.

In 1828, the new town of Pickens was established across the river from the Youngblood farm. We know it today as Old Pickens. The town was located near the center of the PickensDistrict. our current Oconeeand Pickens Counties. The town grew to perhaps 1,600people and was the center of area activitiesin the years just before the Civil War. The town newspaper,the Keowee Courier, heralded the news of insurrection and the victory at Fort Sumter, but shut down soon afterward becauseof the War.

Martha died in the early 1840'sand Samuelmarried his next door neighbor, Gracie Ann MARTIN and thev had six children.

In 1868 the town moved. Housesand storeswere moved brick by brick and board by board - part to Pickens and part to Walhalla. All that remained was a brick church, someburying grounds,and a few memories.

Samueland Gracie are still there - buried near their home. They have more than 900 YOUNGBLOOD descendantsin the Pickens area. At least two and perhaps three times, descendantshave placed markers on their graves in loving memory.

The graveyard, containing perhaps 100 graves, is on a wooded knoll overlooking the Keowee River. An old roadbed circles the edge of the hill. Most of the graves are marked with fieldstonesand are slightty sunken. Several of graves have low rock walls to mark the edges. In the center of the graveyard there is a three-foot deep hole that is six feet long by six feet wide. Perhaps it is a massgnave.

Was there a church in this location? Who are the people? What are their stories? q)lil r3 El .t trl 'E 8l E .,4 v = - v u-J// J,/

MargaretHoward Adams,605 Nooman Lane, Hickman, KY 42050 Ph: 502-838-686fE-Mail: [email protected] Co., SCin 1827. My secondgreat grandfather, John BOYD, marriedJane MONTGOMERY in Newberry MONTGOMERYbox WittiamBO-YD signed as Securityfor the marriage.The affidavit was found in the Robert in Newberry. Her uncle was appointedguardian after the death of her father ThomasMONTGOMERY. Her mother was Ann SPENCE, the daughterof Andrew SPENCE and Mary CALDWELL. The Robert MONTGOMERY family (his wife was Esther SPENCE sisterto ANN) left SC and went to TN as well as Ann SpenceMONTGOMERY and John and JaneMontgomery BOYD. The BOYDS went on to Western KY where he had land grants.Who were the parentsof this JohnBOYD? He was born 1807in KY accordingto all census records.Their first child, William SpenceBOYD was born in SC. Johnand Jane BOYD are buried at Beech Grove CumberlandPresbyterian Church in GravesCo. KY. I would shareany researchon this family for any information as to his parentage. I am searchingfor the datesthat Andrew SPENCE and his family cameto SC from Ireland. What port, what ship and informationabout the family would be appreciated.He is supposedto havecome about L772from Ahoghol, Ireland but I have no proof. I was in Ahoghol, Antrim Co., Ireland recently and found SPENCE still living in Ahoghol and they are Presbyterian.I was not able to get to church records at the time. Did they have to take an oath of allegiancesomewhere at that time in SC?If so where?

Thanks:Ted Epton,14 Mountain Vista Road, Taylors, SC 29687 Ph: 864-895'6777 Old PendletonDatabase Project by: Herman Geschwind http ://www. geocities.com/bou rbonstreeUdelta/8 155 Don't LetZIP ZapYou

Wheneveryou areexchanging computer files with yotu genealoglcorrespondent, chances are good that the file thatyou receive,be it on-lineor asI diskette,will be in a compressedformat, known as a ZIP file. Thetipoffis thatthese files all havethe file name extension.ZP. Let us examinewhat this is all aboutand how to dealwith ZIPs.

The ideabehind a compressedformat is very muchthe way we dealwith liquids zuchas orange juice, milk, cofreeor eggs. Commonto theseis that theycontain better than 90% water. Whentansportation is scarceor expensive,a goodway to ship theseproducts is to extact the water andship the solidswhich will weigha lot lessand take up a lot lessspace. At the destination,jN addwater and stir andnow againwe havemilk or orangejuice, etc.,almost as goodas the original. The samedso appliesto cornputerfiles, bo0r programand data files. Insteadof waterthey contain repetitive and redrmdant bit patternswhich canbe extractedand later addedback to makethe files fully functionalagain.

In the caseof computerfiles, the compactionand extraction process makes use of mathematicalformulas which werediscovcred by threemathernaticians in Israelseveral decades ago. Beingpure scientists and not very business-minded,they failcd to takeout I patent for their discovery.If theycould have charged royalties wery time files arecompressed and de-compressed, thcy probablycould be as wealthyas Bill Gates.Such is life!

Much as it is muchmore economical to ship milk or eggpowder or instantcoffee, much can be gainedby compressingfiles p,riorto uploadingthem electonically or mailingthe,rn with diskettes.Here is an example:The Old PendletonDatabase as a GEDCOMfile at presenttakes up roughly31,000,000 bytes. Since a diskettewill holdaround 1,500 bytes, this means to mail thefile to someonewould takeroughly 20 diskenes.Quite a packageand some hefty postage. The samefile compressedinto ZIP formatwill be slightlymore than5,000,000 bytes or only fotu diskettes.In our example,25,000,000 bytes are repetitive and redundant bit panernsor tlre equivalentof water. Putanother way to dovmloada 31,000,0@byte file requiresroughly 180 minutes, the same file in ZIP formatonly 30. I think theseexamples demonstrate the valueof shippingcompressed files. Is therea downsideto the ZIP fmrnat? Absolutelynot. The compressionand decompression process makes heavy use of error checkingbytes to assurethat whateverwas ottracted will b€ addedback to preventdata loss. lf a ZP file uncompresses,you canbe surethat you have I 00% of the original databack. [There is alwaysa possibilitythat a file canbe damagedin transit,be it electonicallyor in the mail but that hasnothing to do with the compression/decompressionprocess. ]

Beforea ZIP filecanbe used,it mustbe decompressed,so how do we do that? A ver', popularprogram is PKUNZIP.HG. It is a very small,28K programthat hasbeen around for a numberof yearsand is a sharewareprograrn. It canbe foundon the Internetin a numberof placeswhen you searchfor it. Oncedownloaded, install it in the samedirectory where most of your programfiles are 'path' located. Goodcandidates are C:\DOS or C:\Windows[either way, this is to ensurethat Pkumip will be in the andreadily accessible.]

PKLTNZIPis a DOS-levelproduct and does not havethe prettyand userfriendly interface of Windows. The "help file" for PKUNZIP canbe invokedby typingPKUNZIP /?. To decompressa file let us assumethat the file is storedin a directorycalled C:\TEMP andthe file is calledCOUSINS.ZIP. The commands at theC:\ promptthen will be asfollows: PKUNZIP C:\TEMP\COUSINS.ZIP. Now pressEnter and in a few secondsyou will haveCOUSINS.GED or whateverwas lurkrng behind COUSINS.ZP decompressedin the C:\TEMPdirectory. T\e ZP file alsowill still be thereand once you aresatisfied that the GED works pro,perly,the Ztr file canbe deleted.

To createaZlP file takesa programcalled PKZIP.EXE. Whatwas commented above also applied to PKZP. The commandline to compressCOUSINS. GED would be: PKZIP C :\TEMP\C OUSINS.ZP COUSINS. GED.

Both PKUNZtr andPKZIP cando manymore things as the "help file" will show. Hereis anexample of oneof theseoptions: Assume we wantto zip the Old PendletonDatabase onto diskettes for mailing. Rememberthat evenas a compressedfile the GED is much largerthan a diskettewill hold. PKZIF allowsfor "disk spanning"which meansthe file will occupyas many diskAtes as it will take without "Disk Full" error. The commandline in this caseis: PY\ZP -& A:\OPD.ZIPOPD.GED. The "minus amp€trsond"is whet is knovmas a cornmandline switchand there are many both for PKZIPand PKUNZtr.

For thosewho would rathernot fool with the DOS promptand command line switches,a Windowsprogam [shareu'are]called Wiiltr will hide all the arcanaebehind a familiar Windowsinterface. WiTZIP wiil install into the File Managa or Explorer. Highlight aZIF file anddouble click andWinZIP will kick in with a hostof menuiterns to handledecompressing [extracting]. Compressinga file usingWinZtr is just aboutas easy. BOOK'S ON OLD PENDLETON DISTRTCT,SOUTH CAROLTNA (PRESENTDAY-ANDERSON, PICKENS, OCONEE) AND SOME FAMILY HISTORIES BY MEMBERS

He said, ,I have e check on the bank for $1oo, YoU can have that, it is all the money I have and you can take my horses. I said, 'I don't want. your horses I want my own and I tlon't have your check. You took my money away from fll€' PaY it back and I will go. He offerd to send Mrs Barton to Easley to get the go money, and I said all risht- He then said I could to his stable and take his horses. I replied that I was no horse go Lhief and did not propose to go near his stable; he could -"he and bring theiir and'give them Lo me in presence of those wilnesses if he desired to PaY me for urhat he took from me 'wrongfullv. He Look two negroes with him' and I told t'hem noL to touch the horses. He brought them out and all who was saw Lhenr said that neither was as good as mine' but it the last chance, so I t.ook them.

She is a good woman and I was never so sorry for any one in my life as I was for her. She said they were broken up completelv and had nothing to live on or to work with. t^lhenwe got to Easley she had the check cashed and gave me one hundred dollars. I had been thinking of what she told me on the road so I told her never mind about the eighty-six dollars; she might have that. It was not the money that I had cared for, I onlv didn't want Lo be robbed and abused. uA crowd had collected at the station by this time and she was afraid to go home by herself. I sent one of mv friends to keep her company and told her to keep the horse to help make bread for her and her children. She did not uoant lo take it as she said I would come back on her husband for it. I told her that I would not but that' I didn't want to near of him on any more raids. She was satisfied and Nent off. "I bought 5 gallons of whiskey ac Easley Station and treated the whole crourd t.hat had col lectd there . It looked like a regiment, and I didn't know there were half that number of men at the station.

Takenfrom the researchof Leroy Stewartand Linda G. Cheek GAMBRELL: A letter written 4 July 1927from H.D. Ward of HoustonTexas states. Two Grambrell Brotherscame from Franceabout 1676(but first took refugein Irelandand from Irelandto America)went up the Potomic and settledin Virginia andMaryland, later they had a misunderstandingand broke friendship. JohnGrambrell of AndersonCo SC was a grandsonof one of thesetwo brothers(from J.B. Gambrellwho was the grandsonof David Grambrelland his parentsmoved from AndersonCo SC to to Tippah Co MISS in lS42). The old GrambrellGraveyard is nearManassa and Williamsburg VA. From H.D. Ward takenfrom materialthat shehas been writing down for over 40 yearstold to her by her fatherand grandfather:John Grambell a grandsonof one of thesebrothers settled in AndersonCo SC some time beforethe Rev. War. He marriedBarbary Bruton a descendantof a Frenchfamily. To Johnand Barbary was born 5 sons:Henry, David, James,John and Matthew, one of these5 brotherswas a one-leggedold batchelorbecause he lost hisleg in the War of 1812,his wound was a constantirritant to histemper so he drank to excess.You can seethat JohnGrambrell Rev. Soldierwas the grandfatherof my father andUncle Madison.He was alsogreat-grandfather of J.B. Gambrell.My grandfatherwas Matthew Gambrell(son of John)he was a Baptistpreacher and died a suicideon 12 Aug 1843he marriedLettice Madison d/o James Madison.Matthew Gambrelllived on his fathershome place. My fatherand uncle Madison are the only sons of MatthewGambrell to survivethe CivilWar. My fatherleft PainesvilleAL andmoved to TX in 1857.I believethat DanielGambrell was the grand-fatherof JohnGambrell NOTE. by Linda Cheek--lbelieve that JohnGambrell married Barbary Vaughn andthat her (Barbary Vaughn's) motherwas BarbaryBruton\Brewton m.

Thediaries of Ida VirginiaBradley, written between 1879-1889, begin with a descriptionof an eighteen-year-oldgirl's solitaryjourney from her impoverishedhome in Cartersville,Georgia to Pickens,South Carolina, to live in the homeof her moreaffluent uncle, David FranklinBradley. Uncle Frankand Aunt Mrry, who haveno childrenof their own,treat her as a beloveddaughter-companion. Ida is expectedto assistwith the housekeepingchores, sewing and other gpes of handiwork,and entertaining guests.Infrequently, she also perfonns secretarial duties in the printingoffice of thePickens Sentinel, which Uncle Frank founded and continues to edit. A nephew,Milt, who liveswith theBradleys and is treatedas a son,works in the printingand newspaper office.

UncleFrank, a Civil War veteranand South Carolina senator, periodically goesto Columbiato "passa bill," suchas that of prohibitionmentioned in Ida's January24,1880 entry. Sherefers in theJanuary 30 andsubsequent entiresto his effortsto bringthe railroad to Pickens.

Ida's Cartersvilleintervals reflect a greatdeal more home chores and responsibilities.Her family(Civil War veteranfather, mother, nine children, andmaternal grandmother at times)are close-knit and devoted, but ever strugglingto survivefinancially.

Thelast entry in Ida VirginiaBradley's diaries was made in July, 1889.Two yearslater, when she was thirty yearsold, shemarried Aunt Mary's nephew, CharlesHovey Clyde of Easley,South Carolina.

Barton, Gary and others visited the Little Eastatoe community where t,hey enlisted Alfred McCrary to guide them through the mountains. t^Jhether he volunterred or was compelled Lo go was questionable. The purpose, of course, Has Lo find violators of the revenue laws and the 'habitation of the notorious Redmond.' He went along with the revenue officials on their hunt, but if they found any stills or made any raids, none brere reported in the papers. On 25 May IA77 McCrary blas hoeing in his field while his little son was plowing the same field. From the woods came the report of a rifle and McCrary reeled and feII, dying in a few minules from a ball through the lungs. The murderer kept himseLf securely under cover of the woods and made his escape. The commentary i nc Iuded i n the PICKEI'ISSENTINEL 30 May La77 report of the murder expressed distain for the killins as urelL as the recruitment of citizens bv revenue officals. ''Mr whether McCi-ary acted voluntar i ly i n this matter or by compulsion, grievously has he paid the penaltv with his -Iife.

Almost a month Iater on the eleventh of l'tay, Mrs Hinkle saw about twenty-five men ridins up the road towards and then past her home. They stopped some three hundred yards up the road then turned back. t^JmGary, E H Barton and John Scruggs were among the group and they proceeded to enter her home and search it. Bhrton went through her trunk then joined Gary in searchins the whole house as well as tne smokehouse- They found thlo double and one single barrerled shotguns which they took out.side but returned them shortly. Barton stood in the house cursing and swearing about the 'Lo guns and told Mrs Hinkle teII Redmondt.hey had been to see him and hoped he would call on them again.' Silas and his brother returned a couple of hours after Lhey had IefL and theii- mother told what had happened- They examined the :lunS and found'them''bent and broken and rendered utterly unfit for use. ' l.lot one to be treated such. Mrs Hinkle went Lo sheriff Joab Maurdin and commissioner Thornely who issued a warrant against Barton and Gary along with another revenue official named springs. At the preliminary hearing in JuIy ra77, the widow describe the evenLs that happened in her home and depuLy collector Scruggs corroborated with his testimony. Banton and Gary Nere bound over for the August term for trial. Scruggs stated the Springs was not part of r-he raid and. was discharsed.

that the revenue detectives have been golno around Ehrough some portlons of this county wlth a new scheme for invading the rights of our ciLizens. They claim tha[ no man can have more than flftv stalks of tobacco, cnd have in some insLances pulled up the overplus owned bv $ome of ouf farmers. " The artlcle went on to Sugslest that Harrants be written against this off icials and have them drrested.

" A monLh Iater Lh-o r\l.lDERSOl.lINTELLIGNEcER again reporte a 'tobacco reid,' this time e 6tore. "on Friday L4 april '1e77 revenue officers vlsited the gt.ore of Smith and Sloan in Pendl€tcn and at the time of their entrv both of the proprietors were absent and their clerk had gone into a back room with a customer for some meal. t^lhenthe clerk returned, the officers asked to examlne the tobacco boxes which was drdnted and they i^Jdrdfound to be properly , sfamped. Thd proprietors had by thts time returned and the off lcers dsked to see t,hetr llcense t.o sell Lobacco. Upon looking ln thelr showcase. wheire lt was kept, they found the llcense Eon€.

[President Haves can speedily gain the People's favorl by removing the infamous gang of revenue officials and detectives who have worried arrd oppressed our people than by any other sinsle act." Over in Wahalla, the revenue detect,ives had another scheme to catch violators of the law. In one store they requested to examine cigars from a box. This the clerk did and, after they w€re finished, tossed the cigars over toward the box where they landed on the shelve. The next day thc officers returned and saw that the cigars were still outside the box which had the excise stamPs affixed. The loose cigars w€re considered contraband. For this violation of the revenue laws eisht store owners were "carried off to Columbia, one hundred and five miles dislant,,'' and arraign

and all had guns drawn and aimed at the sheriff. He was asked "in very polite t.ones to deliver up lhe jail keys." He protested as best he could, but the men demanded them again. This time using more forceful tones and "free use of adjectives and other parts of speech not fr:und in the grammer . " By t,his time a crowd had gathered into t.he hall with others heard out in the yard. The sheriff yielded and delivered up the keys when the guns hrere once withdrawn from his chest. The sheriff asked that only the three men for t^rhich they had come 'to deLiver from jail' be released. This they did, leaving other violators of the revenue laws and some for murder. As soon as they had their friends in hand, thev rushed down the stairs, out the door and mounted their horses which thdy lead off toward the mountains at a saIIop. The whole 'jaiI delivery' took less than fifceen mi nutes . Sheriff Hauldin immediately went to inform Commission Thornley who then sent for lhe deputy marshals. The Sheriff stated that he did not recognize any of lhe men and after consultation among themselves determined it Nas not advisable to purse them [hat nisht. It was not reported in the papers that a pursuit of rescuers and rescuees Nas attempted on Sunday. On Monday 11 March Sherif f Mauldin sent a telegram to Governor t^lade lJarnptondescribing the events of Saturday night and staLing that he along with Captain Hoffman, the revenue officer urho lead the initial capture, would do alI that was necessary to recapture all involved.

Whilettrey *aited for the showerof rainto pass,they began to talk. I bet Bartonthought that the devilcouldn't get to him in that grave,Porter remarked. He concludedwith, You know he left instructionsconcering his burial, anotherman asked, Reckon even the Lord will be ableto get him out of that box?Immediately, lightning was seenand thunderheard.

(SEE ABOVE COURT CASE OF BAILEY BARTON'" S HE,IRS) Lewis Eaton--LewisReese states that about l5 yearssince (1844) Lewis Eaton his father-in-lawmoved from pickensDistrict SC to the Stateof Kentucky and carriedwith him a family of negroes,his slavesto which he was very much attached.Sometimes after his removalone Bailey Barton went on to the statewhere the saidLewis Eaton was then residing,and seizedthe saidslaves under a pretended claim and broughtthem back to Pickens District, exceptone which he left to wait on the saidLewis Eaton andhis wife, who were very old and feeble. Someshort time after his return to this state,the saidBailey Barton died (1847) and the saidLewis Eaton brought his suit in Equity againstthe admnrs.of the saidBailey Barton for the slavesthus takenfrom him andwhich slaveswere at that time in the possessionof his saidadmnrs. Jane Barton andPleasant Alexander. The suit came to a hearingat Juneterm 1848,the saidslaves were orderedand decreedto be deliveredto Lewis Eaton, which was doneby the defendantsJane Barton andPleasant Alexander. After the deliveryof saidslaves to the said Lewis Eaton, his Solicitorswho had the managementof the saidsuit, refusedto let him carry offthe saidslaves till their counselfees were paid. Consquentlythe saidslaves were left in possessionof Watson Collins a son-in- law of the saidLewis Eaton, residingin PickensDistrict, till the saidLewis Eaton could return to Kentucky and procurethe moneyto pay the feesand chargesof his Solicitors.This causedthe old man one or two trips to the Stateof Kentucky.He finally succeededin payingoffthe Solicitors.The saidWatson Collins then refusedto deliverup to the saidLewis Eaton one of the slavesa girl then about 5 or 6 yearsold, till he was paid $500.00off his pretendedservices in assistingthe saidLewis Eaton in his suit againstthe admnrs.of the saidBailey Barton for the saidslaves. Not beingable or willing to pay this unjustand groundless charge, the saidLewis Eaton was forcedto leavethe girl in the possessionof the saidWatson Collins, and shortlyafter his return to Kentucky with the other slaves,the saidLewis Eaton departedthis life, intestate,in the Stateof Indiana.

Lewis Reesestates that soonafter he rec'd the noticeof his Lewis Eaton deaththru a letter from one of the slaves,carried ofi he appliedto the Ord. of PickensDist. for lettersof Admnr.on the personalestate of Lewis Eaton in SC but the Ord refused.Nothing more was donein the casetill last year he renewedhis applicationfor Lettersof Admnr.and they were granted to him by W.J.Parsons Ord. of PickensDistrict. In the meantimethe saidslave remained in the possessionof the saidWatson Collins till he soldher to JamesE. Haggodof Pickens District for the sum of $800.00 Whetherthe deedsfor the landsconveyed to WatsonCollins by Lewis Eaton were not madeto enablehim to sellthe samefor the benefitof the saidEaton. Whether he ever paid any thing for the saidlands? How much moneyhe recd.for Lewis Eaton of EsquireGllespie, of North Carolina,(note:from Lewis's fatherJohn's Estate) and whetherhe everpaid it over.
