NOTE: This came in from Louise Curry, PO llor 40, Snow, OK 74567 who has been very helpful to me. Thisbit of info is very interesting. She writes: You may want to explore the possibility that Pendleton families whosenames are spelled REECE,REESE, RICE and PRICE are all related. 'fhis

name comes from Wales, where youmay also see it spelled RHYS. In the "old days" a Welshman's name was his pedigree. David ap (son of) Griffinap Meredith ap Lewis, back to Adam in some instances. As surnames were adapted from these patronymics,sometimes "ap" was slurred into the following namc, so that "ap Rhys" became Price, "ap Owen" became Bowen,"ap Howell" became Powell, and so on. As a Davis with a Lewis line too, I can testily that tracking Welch linesthrough the immigration period is very difficult.

Bryant LESTER presumed to be descended from one of three men. Possibleancestors are a John Lester who was master of the ship B/essing date 1635. Theother is Thomas Lister age22 who came in 1635 in the Pantle. The other isThonras Leister, 33, who was a resident of James City. These may have beengrandfathers due to the dates.This information is from Vol. l, chapter 5 of Free Will State and Hening, VIII,pgr32.The spell ing of the name is a cormption of Leicester. But the original form of thespelling is no1 found very often in America, and so far as the authors observationswas never used by the family in Lunenburg. or, indeed in Virginia. The name issornetimes spelled Lister, or Leister.Hottctt ' .s Li.sl.E show'that in June and July, 1635 John Lester was the master of theship R/c,r.rlng.

Nothing is known of his posterity, if he left any descendants.Br.t ' ttnt Lester (b. crrca 1730-35), appears in the records of Lunenburg County,about the time of the French and lndian wars.3 and rendered service therein.

M E Parrish

FROM THE EDITOR:I would like to explain to Old Pendleton members why the dues money comes to me instead of to the Treasurer.As the officers do not live close together we have to correspond by snail mail.

The dues come to me and I process the members, then when I get enough I send to the Treasurer. If this wasreversed then the Treasurer would hold the applications until she received enough to send to me. Which could beI - 2 months and that would slow down procession. This way I can get the new members and old members on thelist immediately.

Also would like to say that if you see duplicate material in the Newsletter it is not because I am doing itintentionally. It is very difficult to keep up with what has been printed. Also when I get new or additional

material I may run again. Thanks Linda G. Cheek

'l' h e A.s s o c i a t e cl P r e.s.sPOWDERSVILLE. S.C. - Members of Pou'dersr,ille's Orr famih'like to say'that if Thomas Orr had stayed in Ireland,

Polvdersr,ille rvould be half its size. so manv of his descendants populate the area.Despite his abundant progeny. the story of Orr. rvho settled here seven generations ago, is being threatened by the

sands of time - and by vandals. who recentlv wrecked part of the family's isolated cemetery.Some of Orr's descendants are trying to presen'e a bit of Powdersville's history bv restoring the cemetery, bringing it

out of hiding and into the view of the new wave of immigrants. many of whom don't know the area's past.

The tombstones tell a story of two families n'ho became intertwined with the history of the area's transformation from

American Indian country to pioneer farmland to bustling suburb.

The tale begins in l gga. wiren Thomas On left the Emerald Isle and settled in the part of old Pendleton Distnct that is

now northem Anderson county. He marned Saratr wilson from Georgia, and they had 12 or l3 children. depending on

who is telling the tale.one of their sons. Civil War veteran John B. Orr. married Elizabeth Ann Wilson. She was not related to her mother-

in-law, but since then the powdersville Orr and Wilson families have been one, said Powdersville historian Lowry

Wilson. who is not related to the family'Halloween pranksters partying in an overgrown cemetery on State Highway 81. where about 50 orr and wilson familr'

members and slaves are buried. broke the two large tombstones marking John's and Elizabeth's graves. other

tombstones were toPPled."It was a wake-up callr" Lowry Wilson said.He and J paul Orr. a great-grandson of John B. Orr. are cleaning brush and lighting the cemeteU to discourage further

vandalism and preserve the history chronicled there.,,lt means quiie a bit. that cemetery." Wilson said. "The last time they cleared it offwas about 20 )'ears ago. The idea

was" if you were in the country what you tried to do was hide a cemetery. People were wrecking them "

Nou,ihe family has reversed its strategry to protect the ancestral graveyard.

The l3 readable tombstones there belong to Orrs. Wilsons, Clardys and Merritts, Wilson said. Some of the Wilson kin

spelled their sumame "Willson."Thomas and Sarah may be buiied there. Wilson said. but their graves have not been found. John's and Elizabeth's

broken tombstones will be repaired.John,s grave rvill get a Confederate veteran's marker. He rvas a private in Company D. GaTs Brigade- Hamptons

The oldest grave discoveied so far belongs to William Mattison Willson. u'ho was bom l8l9 and died in 1859- said

Paul Orr's rvrfe. Erlean.At a time when many of the old ways are being lost as the growing suburban neighborhoods of Powdersville fill with

people from other places. Erlean Orr hopes the stories of the early settlers u'ill live on,,M\,real concem rs that the traditions and the heritage rvill be lost." she said. "l'm not agarnst people coming rn Thev

,.;OX,IE PqRTER FAMII.IE,\ 0F UPSTATE SO(ITH CAROLINA

The last issue of the Old Pendleton Nervsletter contained clata on some Porter families with ties to the upstate

area of South Carolina. Since the article there has been a continual discussion among some Chapter members via

E-mail as to the accllracy of the data. It has been decided to document as many of the facts as are currently

known and annotate those areas that are questionable with the hope and expectation that interested members

would share information they posses concerning this family.7' h e Pcn n sl [v ania Connection

Hugh Porterb 1715, Londonderry, Ireland. nr 2 May 1736 in lreland, Violet Mackeyb 1717 Northern Ireland, d

23 Jan 1791, SC. Hugh died 1808 SC. Birth and death dates for Hugh and Violet Mackey Porter are taken from

the American Compendium of Genealogy They came to America ca 1740 as a part of the wave of immigrants,

which came to be known as " Scotch/lrish" and/ or " Scotsilrish". They are reported to have brought one or more

children on the original voyage and settled near Lancaster, Pennsylvania .The chart associated with this article

shows one version of the number and names of Hugh's children. They lived in Pennsylvania for some l7 years

and would have had ample opportunity to have additional children.

Q Are these correct names and DOB of their children?The North Carolinu Connection

Hugh and Violet removed to Granville District / Orange County, North Carolina and purchased 393 acres of land

on 14 February, 17 57 , on the East Side of the North Fork of Haw River and High Rock Creek. Hugh Porter was

commissioned a Justice of the Peace for Orange County in 1757. Land purchase records show purchases in this

area for Hugh Porter Jr., William Porter, and Adam Porter. This area of NC is near the site of an anti British

uprising, which came to be known as the "Alamance Regulators". A story has been circulated that Hugh Porterwas arrested and sentenced to prison for some infraction against the British. Hugh supposedly madearrangements for his youngest son, Phillip to serve part of this sentence.The British retaliation was quick and severe. Involved settlers fled to the mountains of NC and southward intoSouth Carolina. There are also reports of James and William Porter, of Irish extraction, who came out ofPennsylvania and fought against the British at King's I\{ountain, N C. A sizeable contingent of Porters settled inwhat is now Mecklenburg County, NC- including a Hugh who died in i801.Phillip Porter is reported to have been born to Hugh and Violet in Guilford County (actually Orange) in 1763 asrecorded in his petition for a Military pension. Q. Is Phillip Porter the son of Hugh and Violet?

Th e A b h eville C onn e ction

Phillip Henley Porter b 1862, Pickens County, Pickens, SC is quoted as saying that Hugh Porter made severaltrips back to Ireland to bring other family members. South Carolina enacted special legislation to attract settlersby offering free land. Records in Abbeville, SC indicate that a ship bearing " poor Irish immigrants" arrivedCharlestown, SC in 1767. Passengers included Hugh, Archibald and Alexander Porter, who were awarded landgrants in the now Abbeville area.There are reports that Ulsterman Hugh Porter, a noted Indian fighter was killed in 1780 in a skirmish with theIndians and Tories. His wife Elizabeth petitioned the State for a widow's pension. The census report for the Old96 District showed only one Hugh Porter in 1790. Reports indicate that Hugh and Violet had removed fromNorth Carolina and had settled in the Abbeville area ca 1774. Reports indicate that Violet died in l79l and isburied near the present Belton, SC Reports exist that Hugh died in 1795 and also 1808.What was the relationship between the various Porter families of Abbeville?

Tentative Conclusions

The wil l of Hugh Porter d 1808 names children who are currently credited to Hugh and Violet. including Phil l ipThis lends some credibility to the supposition that the named children on the chart are actually theirs. There aretroubling questions concerning the will and the relationship of those listed to Hugh and Violet.

If any readers have proof of answers to these questions. we would welcome your inputInformation should be sent to:W H Powers, 3106 Watauga Drive, Greensboro, NC -27410 Email; billnocar@aol.com

THOMAS B. SMITH- A friend at Easley Station has enclosed to us, two letters from a Mrs Elizabeth (Day)

Smith, dated at youngsville Postoffice, Talapoosa County, Alabama and directed to the Postmaster at that place,

making inquiries about one T.B. Smith who she said is her husband and who deserted her last winter without

cause.Smith lay around Easley for some time, representing himself as a widower having recently lost a wife in Alabama,

and endeavored to marry again. He also claims to be a Mason and fequently appeals to members of the fraternity

for pecuniary assistanc.. H. ir about five feet nine inches in height, wears a long red beard, which he occasionally

dyes black, ,lor., his eyes when talking to any one and looks offin another direction when he opens them. Since

the reception of Mrs Eiizabeth Smith's letters by the Postmaster, he has left for parts unknown. He is doubtless a

base imioster and we trust our exchanges will hand him around. Pickens Sentinel Issue: 16 Sept 1875

Confederate Soldier and a Mason, they are both buried in Day Family Cemetery. Both Charter Members of Zion

United Methodist Church in Easley, SC in 1828. It is likely that Thomas B. Smith b. 1830 d. 1910 age 80 was a

son of Hampton Smith Jr. and Mattie Smith who were also Charter Members of this church.

Sure would like to know the ending to this story, apparently she came back to Easley and found him as they are

buried together or maybe he could-not find another woman to have him and went back to Alabama after his wife?

Demo version of Family Origins for Windows 7.0 and a Family Origins for Windows databaseof the Old Pendleton Database made with FOW 7.0 It may be used similarly to that forBK above, except that all the files that make up the FOW database must be copied to yourhard drive .

The full Old Pendleton Database converted to WebPage format by Family Origins. Nosoftware other than your browser is required to access these directly from the CD-r Noknowledge of GEDCOM or genealogy software is required It is very big, so some rvillfind it quite slow.

Demo version of Family Tree Maker 5.0 (Family Archive Viewer) and the full Old PendletonDatabase prepared with FTM 5.0

Explicit instructions for using all the above will be provided on the CD. See the link for "step-by-step" instructions below.

What to do if you want the CD:If you agree to check the CD as soon as you get it and if it is readable by your PC, immediatelysend a check (you'll be told where and amount), or if it is not readable by your PC (highlyunlikely), to immediately return the CD,

If ordering by email, address an email to:jr(Shelby.netFor the subject, use:OPD.CD ORDERFor the body, sayI agyeeand include your name and mailing address.

If ordering by U.S. mail;

Send a note sayingI agreeand include your name and mailing address. Mail to:,Iohn Robertson500 Woodside DriveShelby NC 21850

When will my order be filled?For any revision of the Old Pendleton Database (usually monthly), for which I have as many as 20orders, I will make an update to the CD and fill all open orders prior to the 20th of the samemonth. If there are fewer than 20 orders, I will wait to make a CD revision until 20 orders haveaccumulated.

Can it be used on Macs?Not currently. We are stillworking on that.

What i f your CD-ROM can't read the disc?These CD-r should be readable except by the very oldest CD-ROMs. I have successfully readthem on an old 4X Mitsumi CD-ROM. If your CD-ROM will not read them, it really needsreplacing. But you will get a chance to check the CD on your equipment before you pay for theCD. I am told that some DVD drives cannot read a CD-r disc, either, so you should oheck thedocumentation that came with your drive.

When do I pay for my CD?You will be asked to agree to send a check immediately upon receipt of the CD (once you haveverified it readable by your equipment). If it were not to readable by your PC (highly unlikely),you will have agreed to return the CD immediately.

How current will the data be when I receive my CD?Very! t will ship out copies of the current version until 3 weeks after the release date. After that.any remaining orders will be filled with that for the following month.

Will there be a new version of the CD each month?There will be a new version of the CD for any monthly revision of the database for which I havereceived 20 or more orders. If there are less than 20 accumulated orders for the CD. I will waituntil 20 are received, then make a CD revision and fill the orders.

After I buy the CD, can I get just the additions later?Sorry, no. GEDCOM include the relationships of all persons listed. The addition of new namesprovides not only additional information on other persons, but establishes previously unknownrelationships for several-fold the number of persons added.

Frank G. Mauldin Was Pickens County's First West Point GraduateBy Charles H. Busha, Ph.D.

'fhe United States Military Academy at West Point, Nerv York, was founded in 1802. Itwas originally an engineering scirool but gradually evolved into a national military academysimilar to those in Europe. Sylvanus '['hayer ( 1785-1872), an early superintendent at West Point,became known as the "father o1'the Military Academv." I{e iryas a meixLrer <lf the institution'sclass of 1808. Thayer also serverl as an engineer during the S/ar of 1812. Between 1817 and1833, he completely re-organized the Military Acadeniy and breathe<J new hfe into it. Moreover,.lohn C. Calhoun (1782-1850), tlre noted statesrnan li"onl South Carolina" played an importantrole in strenpJthening the {.j" S. Military,Academy between l8l7 and 1825" Dt.rring tliose years,Clalhoun was Secretary of War in the administratiorr of President James Monroe (1758-1831).

The academy's corps of cadets is nraintained by' aprpointrnents rnade try several sources,particularly by elected national otficials. "l'he first person franr llickens Counf], S.C., to liavereceived an appointment to West Point was Frank Gratin lluuldin. IIe was ]rorn August 16,1864. In 1890 he was graduated with honors at West Point. By thc time the f:irst World Warbegan, Mauldin was serving in the grade of colonel in the U. S. Army, and he vvas soonpromoted to brigadier general. Irrank Gratin Mauldin died.Ianuary 25, 1940, and rvirs buried inSunrise Cemetery in Pickens, S. Cl. He was a son of Joab Ulauldin (1839-1897), aConf-ederate veteran. and Deborah Reed (Holl ingsworth) l l lauldin (1840-i9l!). Joab rvas ason of Milton "Major" Mauldin (1817-1860) and Sarah (O'Dell) Mauldin (1821-1905)"Joab's wif-e was a daughter of "Iames lvy llollingsworth (l8l l-1859) and CJynthia (Clayton)Hollingsworth (1812-1884). At least trvo of Joab's brothers illso served as Confederatesoldiers, and they were Elbert Mauldin (1841-ltt62)" r,r'ho rvas a nrernber of Llornpany E, 2ndS. C. Rifles and who died of disease in Virginia during the (livif War; arrd Elias Earle Mauldin(1848-1925), who u'as only sixteer) years ol'age when he entered Company L), lst S. C. StateTroops. When Pickens and Oconee counties were created out of the old Pickens District in1868, .loab Mauldin became Pickens County's first sherift and he remained its chief lawenfbrcement officer until 1872, Then. fiom 1876 until 1884 he ssrved again as sheriff of thecounty.

While Joab Mauldin's son, Frzurk, rvas still a cadet at West Point, a second PickensCounty native entered the cadet corps there. He was Andrew Em'in Williarns, rvho was bornJuly I l, 1869, at Salubrity (Liberty) and was a son of William Stanton "Bill" Williams (l8i l-1880)---a merchant, f'armer and postmaster of Salubrity Post Office---amd his second wife,South Carolina (Feaster) Williams. The cadet's patemal grandparents rvere JeremiahlVilliams, Jr.(1787-1855) and Charity Elizabeth (Stanton) Williams (1796-1873), both ofwhom were buried in the old Williams Family Cemetery, situated on Five Forks Road at l,iberty.Andrew Erwin Williams was a half'-brother of Thomas Herbert ('Hub" Williams ( I844-1890),

(eontinued on next page)

a Confbderate veterai whose mother, Harriett (Worthington) Williams (1817-1847), was Bill

Williams' first wife who died when Hub was three years old.

In 1889, the year of his appointment to the U. S. Military Academy, Andrew Erwin

Williams, formerly of Pickens County, was living in Milam County, Texas, where his father had

movecl at an advanced age with his second wife and family. After his father's death in 1880, the

young son made his home with the older and prosperous half-brother, Hub Williams, who had

served as a second lieutenant in Company I, Palmetto Sharp Shooters, C.S.A. In the fall of

1g66, Ftub Williams had gone to Texas with his close fnend Manson Sherrill Jolly (b. ca 1840

- d. lg69)---better known today as Manse Jolly---the legendary ex-Confederate soldier and..unreconstructed rebel." Manse Jolly nat a native of the Lebanon community of Anderson

District. S. C. He and several close friends, including Hub Williams, fled from South Crrolina

while being pursued by Frederal oftlcials who were investigating hostile actions taken against

occupation troops stationed in the Upstate shortly after the Civil War had ended'

On .lune 12, 1893, Andrew Erwin Williams was graduated at West Point and appointed a

second lieutenant in the U. S. Army. For several months in 1895-96. I-ieutenant Williams wuls

on military leave. During that period. he made a semi-offlcial bicycle tour of Europe and

prepared areport on the practicability of the bicycle's use b1 Europcan rnilitary forces. During

itre Spanish-Arnerican War, the lieutenant participated in the Santiago Campaign (July 1898);

he also took part in action against Spanish forces at San Juan, Puerto Rico. For his service

during the war, Lieutenant Williams was awarded a Silver Star Citation Ile was promoted to

first lieutcnant in the cavalry the fbllowing year and later served a tour of dutl in the Philippine

Islands. In l90l he was promoted to the rank of captain and placed in command of Troop H,

I'hird Cavalry, with which he served for twelve years.

Captain Williams married Nelly Edwards of El Paso, Texas. The couple eventually

become the parents of three daughters. In l9l6 this career military officer received a promotion

to rnaior. He was also elevated to the rank of lieutenant colonel the following year. Then, as

commancler of the 3l3th l'rain and Military Police unit of the 87th Division at Camp Pike,

Arkansas, Williams held a temporary commission as an infantry coloner (fiom 1917 to 1920).

During the First World War, he accompanied his military unit to France for duty with American

Expeditionary Forces. After the war, Williams was promoted to the permanent grade of colonel

(on July l, 1920). Later, he was commander of the General Intermediate Depot at Atlanta,

Georgia. He was subsequently transferred to the field artillery. Afienvards, and until his

retirement o1 April 16, 1928, Colonel Williams was detailed with the Organized Reserves,

Fourth C'orps Area. Williams and his family moved to San Antonio, Texas, after his retirement.

He died November 19, 1932. The following comments about this Pickens County native were

made in a letter written by General Douglas MacArthur, Chief of' Staff of the United States

Army: "The records show that Colonel Williams was a loyal, fearless, and conscientious officer,

whoie long and faithful military career extended over a period of nearly thirty-five years' active

and commissioned service. His death is deeply regretted."

Another Great Great Great Grandfatherby Charles Lee, Ph.D.

Old Pendleton Distric{ ChapterSouth Carolina Genealogy Society

CLeePhD@aol.com

Peyton Thompson Burton, my great great great grandfather, was born21 February 1807 in Georgialo Blackman Burton and Jane Yancey (Jinsey) Saxon. Peyton was probably married lo Mary folly)Wles. Polly was born in 1818 in South Carolina, probably lo Freeman Wles, a native of Danville,Virginia.

Peyton and Polly had seven children. I think that all of the children were born in Pendleton District.1) Maftha Ann Burton was bom in 1833 and was manied twice, to Jesse M. Simpson and to

John Cunningham.2) Elizabeth J. Burton was bom in 1836.3) Lucinda (Lou) Haseltine Burton was born on 28 April 1840 in tlre Pendleton District. The

story was that Lou, a red-haired beauty, was engaged to another man, but broke it offbecause he was hiding from the war, known as a s/acker. Lou's father had found out whilehe was hunting. He stopped at the slacker's house and saw him eating breakfast. So later,Lou was manied about 1864 to Albert Chesterfield Beaty. I Note: A.C. Beaty, my greatgreat grandfather, was the subject of the presentation that I gave two years ago at the OldPendleton District Chapter meeting. One year ago at the same meeting, I presented a storyabout A.C.'s father John Wesley Beaty, another great great great grandfather. I Lou died 28June 1910 in Oconee County and was buried in the Bethel Presbyterian Church cemetary inOconee County.Sarah E. Bufton was bom in 1842 and was manied to A. A. Freeman.James Wlliam Thompson Bufton was born in 1844. During the War Between the Sfafes aminnie ball hit him in the knee at Gaines Hill. He was noted as a cipple in the 1870 censusAmanda C. Burton was born about 1847.Caroline Meden Burton was born 27 January 1848 and was married twice, to William D.Scott, and on 11 January 1870 to George Middleton McKee. She lived with Mr. McKee inWalhalla. He was the executor for Peyton's will. Caroline died 17 August 1921.

Jesse Wiles, Polly's brother, age 45, was in the household in the 1850 census, and was noted asinsane. Jesse does not appear in the subsequent census.

Incidentally, Peyton becarne a private in Capt. Andrew P. Butler's Company G, 1"t Regiment of theSouth Carolina Volunteers of the Confederate States of America. On 16 August 1861 he joined at theage of 54! Peyton was wounded by a shot in the chest on 03 October 1862, and remained on theMuster Roll unti l 31 December 1864.

Peyton was also a big-time foxhunter. The story was told that Polly called for him from her sick bed"Are you going fox hunting? Are you going and let me die?" He called back "l'm going fox hunting!"

Peyton executed his handwritten will by the county clerk on 03 March 1886. He signed the instrument"P T Burlon" in a shaky hand. Peyton died 06 March 1886 and is buried in Union Baptist Churchcemetery near lva. Polly died in 1894 and is buried there also.

LONG CANE MASSACRE: Submitted by Margarette Swank, 415 N. Main St Apt. 9-Q, Greenville, SC 29601and sent to her on the Web by. Tom Calhoun of Charlotte NC:

I Feb 1760. yesterday se'night the whol of the Long Cane settlers, to the number of 150 souls, moved offwithmost of their effects in waggons to go towards Augusta in Georgia and in a few hours after their setting off weresuprised and attacked by about 100 Cherokees on horseback, while they were getting their wattons out of a boggyplace. They had amongst them 40 gunmen who might have made a very good defence but unfortunately their gunswree in the waggons. The few that recovered theirs fought the Indians half an hour and at last were obliged to fly.In the action, the lost 7 waggons and 40 of their people killed or taken (including women and children). The restgot safe to Augusta whence an express arrived here with the same account on Tuesday morning.

The South Carolina Gazette,23 Feb 1760 interview with Mr Patrick Calhoon:Mr Patrick Calhoon, one of the unfortunate settlers at Long-Canes who were attacked by the Cherokees on the lstinstant as they were removing their wives, children and best effects to Augusta in Georgia for safety, is just cometo town and informs us that the whole of those settlers might be about 250 sould, 55 or 60 of them fighting men.That their loss in that affair amounted to about 50 person, chiefly women and chilfen, with 13 loaded waggons andcarts. That he had since been at the place where the action happened in order to bury the dead and found only 20of their bodies, most inhumanly butchered. That the Indians had burnt the woods all around about, had left thewaggons and carts there empty and unhurt and that he believes that all of the fighting men would return to andfortify the Long Cane settlement were......etc.

We have no late advises from Fort Prince George or any consequences from places in that route but from FortMoore we learn that a gang of about 18 Cherokees divided into 3 or 4 parties on the 15th instant, way-laid, killedand scalped Ulrie Tobler, Esq, a Captain of militia in those parts, as he was riding from his father's to that Fort andshot Mr William Calhoon, who was with him in the hand...the Indian who killed Capt. Tobler left a hatchet

sticking in his neck with three old notches cut in the handle and three new ones.

The location of the Massacre site is on the Road from Abbeville to Troy about three quarters of a mile from LongCane Creek (Pattersons Bridge) and two and a half miles from Troy, No know published list exist of the victims ofthe massacre, however there are three stone markers on the site. Two were placed by Patrick Calhoun to honor hismother and the 22 others who were killed there and the other marker of recent vintage was placed there by theNorris family to honor their dead. Sg: Tom Calhoun, Charlotte NC.

BARTON HISTORICAL SOCIETYNEWSLETTER - MaY, 1999

F{ELLO ONE AND ALLIIt is time for a bit of news from the Society, and a special announcement about plans tbr

the August reunionl

GET IN TOUCHWe continue to ask for corrections to The Barton Book, as well as additional family

history. Let Betty Howard know what vou've learned, or what you already knew that

needs an improved presentation in The BBk. You can e-mail to barhisoc(@att net or write to

her at 830 WicklowRd, Campobello, SC 29322 (phone # 864-468-5166).

SEND DOCUMENTAIONWe are extremely proud of Bob Nally's 1994 edition of The Barton Book. Bob knew

that more documentation is needed thoughout the book. He did a tremendous work

laying out the different lineages and showing their connections. Now we can work to

r.finJ our information and document it as much as possible. But onlv if you forward to

us! We ask that whenever possible, you include the SOURCE of your information, and

as much detail as you want to give about the source. Tell us whose family Bible and

where the person [ved. Tell us the name of the grandmother who remembered. Tell us

the book and page number of the Courthouse document, and which Courthouse. Photo-

copies, photographs, copies of old letters, checks, memos. Things like that!

HOWEVERIIf you have good information, and no time to gather all the documention -please just

send us the information anyway. Later, perhaps we can find the source and add it. Oryou might send it later. We can report it as unsubstantiated but reasonable information.

THE REASONThere is a lot of genealogy on the internet. You may have heard! There is a good amountabout Bartons -but some of it is BOGUS ! (If you are new on the net, be cautious. Ifyou've been looking there already, you probably know this.) We want to keep ourhistory as accurate as possible. Otherwise, it will have no meaning for our descendants.This is why it is important to add documentation now.

WEBPAGEWe have begun to post Indexes for Barton Bulletins on Debby Black's Website, andexpect to have our own site by summer. Debby (Tulsa, OK) hosts a wonderful website.Bonnie Butler (Alexandria, VA) is developing a site that will include many Bartons!(Get URLs from the e-mail address given above.)

M. O. BARTONThanks to Frances Armaly, North Highlands, CA -we've learned that M. O. stands forManelius Oliverl M. O. (1328-1864) is a descendant of Benjamin Franklin and Dorcas

Anderson Barton. Frances has forwarded much excellent information that was omittedfrom The BBk. We would like to know more about Dorcasl We know that she is adaughter of John Anderson and Sarah Carney, and that Dorcas met Benjamin during theRevolutionary War while she was under protection in Earle's Fort near Landrum, SC. In1783 they were married at her home on the Pacolet River in what is now Spartanburg Co,SC. Benjamin died in 1818 in what is now Pickens Co, SC. If you know an1'thing moreabout Dorcas Anderson and Benjamin, please let us know. One person especiallyinterested is Malcolm Jones (105 Overlook Dr, Brevard, NC 28712) -a descendant whoalso actively seeks information on the Camey familv.

ALLEN BARTON SEARCHWeldon Touchstone is searching for information on Allen Barton (b1810, SC -d1872,

GA). As a young man, Allen moved to Lincoln Co, GA, married Aurena Taylor in 1832,and a second wife, Matilda Trammell, in 1843. One of hrs children was William N.Barton (1836-1913), Weldon's G-grandfather. Weldon suggests that Allen Barton wasthe oldest son of William Barton Sr (p369, The BBk) by an undocumented first wife, andthat Alfred B Barton (p 393) is Allen Barton's son -and thereby the grandson of WilliamBarton Sr rather than a son. Are there descendants who can validifo or negate this?Share what you know. Weldon Touchstone's address. 2451Everett Springs Rd,Armuchee, GA 30105.

JEFFERSON BARTONBrell Foster (David BartonA.lancy Barrett line) is wanting pictures of Jefferson Barton(1821-1897) and Sarah "Sallie" Turner Barton. Brell's address "101 Old Friars Rd,Columbia, SC 29210 (ph 803-772-8306) bfoster(4)logicsouth c-onr.

JEPT}IA BARTONDebbie Ralph (P O Box 58, Potts Camp, MS 38659) seeks to correspond withdescendants of Jeptha J Barton who had a daughter, Melissa, who married JamesWestmoreland when she came to Mississippi with her family. Jeptha was son of Henry CBarton (-1778).

REGINA HICKSWith sadness we learn of the unexpected death of Regina Hicks of Carmel, CA, whodied in February of hemorrhage.

MATERIAL FOR NEWSLETTER:I sure would like to have some Bible Records for the Old Pendleton Newsletter. Does anyoneout there have Bible Records? If so please send to me for publicafion in the Newsletter.

BOOK--UNMARKED GRAVES: Also still asking for people that you know where they areburied and have no stones/marker. Would like to have dates on these people and place ofburial. I am pushing for a later book on Unmarked Graves in Old Pendleton Area.I have received several of these, but know there are many more that others know about.

This is our chance to preserwe the place of burial for these folks and if they were in theConfederate War, then a marker can be ordered (free) for this person, from the Government,and permanently marked, if place of burial is known.

Wil l of Jacob Lewis dated 4 May 1837 prov 4 Jan 1858

Being in sound mind and reflecting on death I think it proper to make a will. My property to be sold at publick sail

giving l2 months credit as much as seems not of use to my wife Ails Lewis. Alljust debts paid, to wife Ails during

her lifetime or widowhood to whole of my home plantation with the addition of that Nix tract below the mill to my

son Jacob and after my death that Jacob take possession of the mill. that he grind for his mother during her life

time free, and that Jacob be good to my estate one hundred dollars. and that Jacob have every nessisary privilage

that willbe right so that my executors can rent the land that I leave to be rented for the support of my wife and cut

and clear and make any improvement that will be necessary for his use. My wife have the power to keep all the

house furniture and one horse as long as she is able to ride and some cows and watsoever may seem good. She to

keep her girl pheby as long at it may suit her and should she sell her etc I also leave her 100 dollars for her use

and pleasure and any money left to be divided among all my heirs viz. David, Abner, Joab, James, Jacob and dtrs:

Mary Baker, Ann Beson Alexander, Elizabeth Stewart, Catharine Alexander. Sg: Jacob Lewis wit: Jacob Guyton,

four children. They all died in late 1849 within about 2 months. No doubt they were victims of an epidemic of smallpox,cholera, or one of the many other diseases that were incurable at that time.

The birthday of the mother. Mary Hunt. coincides exactly with that of Polly Burdine as given in the Burdine/Bowen familyBible. Polly was the common nick- name for Mary in that era, so the assumption that Polly Burdine and Mary Hunt were thesame person is probably correct. Lists her nickname as. Polly. as she is listed in her brother. Talley Davis Burdine's will.

Matthew Mullinax Was a Revolutionarv Patriot

Bv Charles H. Busha. Ph.D.

A "rr..ony

to ded.icate a memorial for the Revolutionary War soldier Mattlrew Mullinax (b. ca 1760)

was held October 24, 1982, in Pickens County, South Carolina. The dedication took place at the soldier's gravein the cemetery of Smith Grove Baptist Chtuch, located about halfivay betweett Easley and [-iberty, nearWhisperfurg Pines zub-division. Sponsors of the event were members of the Gifted Students Prograrn (PROBE,) atEasley's Forest Acres Elementary School, of which Gwen Anne (Cantpbell) Sheriff of Central rvas tlreteacher, and the Fort Prince George Chapter, Daughters of the Amedcan Revolution. of which Julia Jean(Ilarrison) Woodson of Liberty was regent. Arnong the persons present at that sirnple---but movirtg---dedication ceremony were Jay C. Young, Kate (Mullinax) Ellison and Elizabeth Elllison, all of PickensCounty and all of whom are direct descendants of Matthew Mullinax. Also in attendance was the late FaithClayton, who resided at Clemson Downs. She took part in the prograrn by relating historical facts atrout theRevolutionary soldier. ln addition, Verna (Gravely) McCravy of Easley was also tltere, arrd slre pronorntced thebenediction.

Prior to the dedication ceremony, the new tombstone for the grave of the Revolutionarv patriot wasobtained from the U. S. Veterans Admiiristration. Then, it was erected by Jay C. Young. a residetrt oI Nonisand a longtime member of the South Carolina Genealogical Society. Previously, the soldier's qrave rras ttrarkedonly by a fieldstone containing a brief, weathered and virtually illegible inscriptiorr tltat was probablv carvedahnost a century and a half in the past. When tlds veteran of our nation's struggle for indepertdettce died onJanuary 27,1837, his body was intemed in what was then a family burial ground on tlte Mtrllilrax larrrr. After achurch was established nearby in 1913, the old private cemetery began to be used by the clturclr cortgregationand other people fur the community. Unfortunately, the passage ut ahuost filieen decades. plus tlre latitrrgmemories of his descendants, had obscured the exact location of Matthew Mullinax's grave in the cetttetery.

But, the last resting place of the old soldier was again positively identified in the 1970s by Thonras "Torn"Wilkerson of Crreenville, South Carolina, a genealogist and direct descendant of the soldier, being in the lilre of

Matthew Mullinax's first child, Edith (Mullinax) Martin, and her ltusband, Absalom l\lartin. After Torn

Wilkerson found old fieldstones containing the roughly carved initials arrd dates lor Matthew Mullinax and hiswife, he knew that the site of his ancestors' graves had been substantiated.

Matthew Mullinax was a son of Emanuel Mullinax arrd a brother of Pcter Mullinax, both of rvlrolrt also

served as militiamen in Sumter's Brigade during the Revolutiorrary War. Matthew Mullinax was a militia private

and opponents of independence for the American colonies. At King's Mounlaitt t lre I-oyalists \\ 'ere screelt ir tg the

left flank of British forces comrnanded by General Charles Cornrvallis. Because tlre Mullirrax fanrily resided at

that time relatively close to Kirrg's Morurtairr and in the area of the Carolina frorttier which becattte SpartarrburgDistrict, Mattlrew Mullinax, his father and an uncle more than likely participated in that etlgagenrent. The

militiamen who fought there were backwoodsmerr to the core; they were also expefi marksmen rvho had adopted

the flexible techniques of warfare used by Native Americans. They easily defeated tlre bayotret-wieldilrg

Dear Readers,

In the following short manuscript I have written the things which I lrave

traced about the Beachams in the War Between the States. I hope this

will be valuable to our family and en-joyahle to read. I am ttot an expert

and if you find errors or additions, please bring thcnt tn tny altertt iott.

This research is notexhaustive or t inished. I-lopetl l ly" lrvil l har'c lrtore

information to follow.

Sherrie Hey'setr l-Mail: Ftl I I EYSE@)Aol.cttt t t

Beachams in the War BetweeU-the Sjates

In the Captured Documents in Washington D. C., there is a barely legible affidavit' which begins,,City of Richmond-State of Virginia, July 3l, 1862" It continues in the fol lowine lanqttaqe

"Personally appeared before me, H. I- Beacham, who being dulv srvorn. deposes and says that he

is the father of private W. V. Beacham, deceased, of Company'B, Palmetto Sharpshc)oters.

C.S.A." The claim was for the back pay and al lowances owitrg to the said W V Beacham'

deceased. Hartwetl Lowrie(Lowery) Beacham received $56.16 for 3 ntonths pay at $ll per

month, plus allowances. The voucher went through many channels and at tast on Feb 20 I 863 ' I I

L. Beacham signed acknowledgement that the payment had been received from Capt F W

Kilpatrick of Company B Palmetto Sharpshooters

This was in the middle of the war Between the States and Hartwell was to lose another son to the

War of the Rebellion, and have a third son wounded. Two other younger sons would serve in the

later part of the war. How this affected Hartwell, we do not know. We can only imagine the

reasons why the 44-year-old millwright and his sons would take up the cause of the South. They

,were not piantation tr slaue owners. They went to war as so many others to champion States

Rights and loyalty to their home state. We have some letters, but no diaries to offbr their

thoughts. We can only study history and hope to find an answer.

My own great grandfather, fuchibald Lester Beacham was too young to fight Being born in

1g50, he;u, only a boy of I I when the war began. He had also lost an arm in a mill accident

when he was six. His two next older brothers Dallas (Phillip Dallas) and Worth (Worth Butler)

Page I of ISherrie lleyse Page I Octoher l l , l99S

were at home during the first of the war but joined in the latter days. His younger brother BeltonKnox Beacham was also too young to fight. We can again only imagine what life was like forArchibald's mother, Mariah Louise Sheppard Beacham. Witlr her husband and three older sons atwar and a family of eight children at home, life must have been very difticult. We do know herbrother B. F. Sheppard was in the war and wrote a letter to Mariah from Knoxville after her sonJames Daniel had died. B F Sheppard wrote to say that he found James Daniel's grave andmarked it.

Hartwell Lowrie Beacham was born in 1817 in Batesburg SC. He was the son of Daniel Beachamand Alice Lester. Daniel Beacham is said to be the son of William Beacham (who emigrated fromIreland) and Margaret Lowrie(Lowery). Alice Lester came to South Carolina with her family in1804 from Lunenburg Co. VA. Daniel and Alice Lester Beacham are buried at the Lester BurialGround in Greenville, SC. Among Hartwell's brothers was a William Archibald Beacham (This isthe first son of Daniel and Alice Lester Beacham and is named for his grandfathers, WilliamBeacham and Archibald Lester). The records show three William A. Beacham's who served inthe Confederate Army but I do not know if one of these was Hartwell's brother. Hartwell Lowriervas named for his uncle, Flartwell Lester and Lowrie for the maiden name of his grandmother,Margaret Lowrier

I{artwell married Mariah Louise Sheppard in 1836. She was born in l8l7 in Batesburg SC.Hartwell named a son William and a son Archibald. Alice Lester Beacham's father was namedArchibald Lester, which is my ancestor's name (Archibald l-ester Beacham). Many of the nameshave been carried on to the next generation, which causes some con{Lsion. Hartwell and Mariahhad seven sons and four daughters. They are:James Danielborn 1838, Thomas Lowrie (Lowery) born 1819, Ann l lel issa born 1842, Wil l iamVardee born 1843, Phillip Dallas born 1846, Worth Butler born l84l', Archibald Lester born1850, Alice Leticia born 1853, Belton Knox born 1855, Mariah Louise born in 1857, and Ida Leeborn i n 1859 .

Of the gir ls, Ann Melissa never married and is buried in Raleigh, NC. I have copies of lettersbetween Ann and James Daniel's wife Eugenia Douthit Beacham. Alice Letitia married WileyT'homas of Franklin Co. GA in I 871 . After he died she married a Coogan, died in 1929 inWilkesboro NC, and is buried in Raleigh, NC. Ida Lee married Morris Doyle. I have not locateda record for Mariah Louise who was called Louisa or Lou.

James Daniel Beacham, oldest son of Hartwelland Mariah Beacham was born in 1838. Hemarried Eugenia Douthit in c. 1858/59. Their first child William Chandler Beacham was born in1859. A second son. James Daniel Beacham. Jr. died at l0 months of ase. James Daniel was

' l-his name is spelled three ways. They are Lorvery, l.orvry, and l.owrie.

BIT'S and PIECE'S

NOTE BY EDITOR: I have been finding in different people's research death dates on different indiviuals vary. Like

one researcher had 9 Aug 1800 as death date and another has 15 Aug 1800. I have wondered hor.r' this happens. I think

I can explain some of it as I have been finding where a person has an obit in a newspaper, people are taking the date

of the issue of the newspaper and putting it down as the death date. I have found many of these lately. Joseph Jolly

being a good example. I was sent this material on him and his death date listed as 3 Dec 1808 which was the Obit in

the Newspaper date. It plainly stated in this obit that he died 27th last (27 Nov 1808)

Nso have found Mrs Jane Wilson aged 50 wife of Mr William Wilson died on TUESDAY last Pendleton Messenger

lssue: 20 Aug 1808...her death in material is listed as 20 Aug 1808 when in truth she died on Tuesday (l6th Aug

i 808 ) please keep the calender that was run in the September 1999 Newsletter for ref'erence to these dates and

you will have no problem finding the correct day. Linda G. Cheek.......Editor

graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati, Ohio (May1859). At the time therewere only 2 Medical schools in the south, one in Virginia and one in South Carolina. MostDoctors in the south.rere trained by the apprentice system and there was no standard testing oflearning. The Northern medical schools were considered the best and Cincinnati was the "Meccaof the new Medical training". There were several Medical schools in Cincinnati at that time. TheEclectic physicians did not believe in bleeding, purging, or giving Mercury to patients in thetreatment of disease. The Eclectics believed in botanicals and pharmaceutical medicine for illness.They were the new wave of medical practice replacing older ideas. The Eclectic Medical Schoolwas in operation from 1845 until 1939 when it merged with the Cincinnati Medical School andthen the University of Cincinnati, College of Medicine. Medical training consisted of 2 years afterlocal schooling. Most Doctors received no training in the surgery required on the battlefields ofthe War Between the States. We know that after his graduation, James Daniel practiced medicinein Franklin Co. GA and Mississippi. He was 22 years old and a Medical Doctor in the census ofFranklin Co. GA in 1860. I have a copy of some of his early accounts including a poem thoughtto be original. He joined the Confederate Army on May 3,1862 in Corinth, Mississippi.Records have been found to indicate that he was in the Mississippi 32Infantry, Company B. Hewas enlisted by Colonel M. P. Lowry (not known if he is a relative). He served as a FieldSurgeon (all Doctors in the War Between the States were called Surgeons) at the Battle ofLouisville, KY. One source says he died of blood poisoning but B. F. Sheppard (brother ofMariah) writes to Mariah Beacham that the records and Doctors in Klroxville say he contractedthypoid, then pneumonia and so died of thypoid pneumonia (This is a term for Typhoid fevercomplicated by pneumonia). He died in a hospital in Knoxville, Tennessee on Nov. 21,1862. B.F. Sheppard (brother of Mariah Sheppard Beacham) found the grave in a large Confederategraveyard in Knoxville and said it was marked. He broke a large cedar limb front a tree nearby toadditionally mark the grave in case someone could come for the remains. B. F. Sheppard(serving with the Confederate Army in Knoxville at the time) could not get a furlough to bringJames Daniel home to his mother, Mariah Sheppard Beacham. Since that time the gravesite hasbeen lost in the family records.

Eugenia returned to SC and died in 1866, reportedly of a broken heart. William ChandlerBeacham was raised by his uncle, Eugenia's brother Samuel Douthit of Greenville SC. Hebecame a prominent Banker and devoted citizen of Greenville.

We know that Hartwell Lowrie/Lowr/ Beacham (born 1817/18) moved around with the buildingof new mills in the south (he helped his Uncle Phillip Lester build mills in Batesburg) By familystory he was a gifted mechanic and was in demand to set up the looms. On August 22,186lHartwell and Thomas enlisted in the Confederate Army at Carnesville, Franklin Co. GA where thefamily was living. They joined company I of the 4th S. C. Infantry. In the lollowing spring they

joined the Palmetto Sharpshooters (Company B) under Micah Jenkins. The Palmettosharpshooters were organized from units, which had previously been in the 4'n, 5'n and 9trRegiments of the S. C. Infantry. The Sharpshooters were activated April 16, 1862 when the armywas reorganized after many of the volunteer soldiers enlistment was finished. William VardeeBeacham is shown as a member of the Palmetto Sharpshooters and enlisted on March 18, 1862 inAnderson SC. Micah Jenkins' Palmetto Sharpshooters took a prominent part in many battles ofthe war beginning with Williamsburg VA in May 1862 through the Retreat from Petersburg toAppomattox in Apri l3-8, 1865.

The records show that on May 26,1862, William V. Beacham was admitted to the Episcopal

Church Hospital of Williamsburg, ill with measles. (Note: 1862 was a peak for epidemic diseases-

typhoid, malaria, measles, smallpox and diarrhea-which ravaged both armies) William was

evacuated to the South Carolina General Hospital at Petersburg, VA. On June 10, 1862 he died

at age 19. By these dates, William Vardee Beacham would h,rve been in the battle ofWilliamsburg before he became ill. The Battle of Williamsburg was fought with the Armies of the

Confederate General Joe Johnston and Union GeneralMcClellan. In rain and mud up to their

knees, the Confederates fought to defend Fort Magruder (near Williamsburg, VA). After four

companies of comrades abandoned a redoubt, Micah Jenkins and the Palmetto Sharpshooters,

along with six companies from the 5d' SC Volunteers, successfully defended Fort Magruder.

Perhaps the rain and conditions caused William V. Beacham to be susceptible to measles. One

soldier in Anderson's brigade described the march to Williamsburg by saying: "of all the mud I

ever saw we trudged through it that morning. My overcoat dragged in it. It was about the

consistency of fritter batter. There was no way of getting around it." At some points the mud

holes were "belly deep to the horses and mules".3 The Confederates had meager rations of hard

biscuits. Notwithstanding the harsh conditions, The Palmetto Sharpshooters had fought so hard

and well that General Longstreet presented a battle flag, commemorating the Williamsburg

engagement, to them at their camp outside fuchmond. The Battle of Williamsburg was on May 5,

1862 and William V. Beacham was admitted to the hospital on May 26 and died June 10.

I am adding a few details of some of the battles of the war in which Hartwell and Thomas fought.

Hopefully this witt not cause confusion. For more depth of information, please read the books in

the bibliography from which the information is taken.

On the first day of the Battle of Seven Pines (May 3 l, 1862), Jenkins regiments had overrun four

Federal Lines and had repulsed a fifth. By facing federal lines and firing straight at the foe,

Jenkins Palmetto Sharpshooters helped win the Battle of Seven Pines but suffered many

casualties. General Joe Johnston was severely wounded and was removed from the field. General

Robert E. Lee was assigned command of the Army of Northern Virginia for the remainder of the

their conrades, and eighteen of that number were of the Morrison family and their conrades. I was

of pickens were all named in the generul's honor. Intleed, the level of local public knowledge and

recognition concerning the Revolutionary W/ar heno eppears to be low" Iior example, members of a large

group of recent visitors to the Pickens County h{useum coultl not agree as to whether Andrew Pickens

made his mark in the \ i l-er $$*.lurorir rfur ' q't*re$. lV*i ' ,r f t l ,r l3 cr W'*r ut ' Independence. Also, not unti l very

Furthermore, in the l?0 yfnrs tteEtt lrnr 'r i r i i i :r !r{r i{ 3! ir. ; .0-r ir?l{ lr ' {*v Pickeils'death, no statue has been erected

Although sonre plubfrlc $r:fis{*rrr p;',,,ii:,riiii rJe$effie tu be fbrgotten and to be locked away in the silent

halls of oblivion, I feel that Amdl'lrv Fi{keils sirrutrii not be given such treatment. In Washington lrving's

work t i t ted. 'The Sketch Book'n {18[S] f l i r ," j*unn*$lst nnr{ author r leclnred: o'Man pa$ses away' his name

perishes from recorcl and recollection; his hlstCIry is "l t*le thnt is told, nnd his very monument becomes a

ruin." Unfortunately, Iruing's f:etnlistir.r 'jii$i::s',;srierig irf m*tn's ultimate fiate in this world might spply to the

majority of us, but we know thnt sorne grer*f mrem :rnd worneil wilt be remembered as the generations come

and go. In my opinion, Andrerv X!iek**s *anght tr be one of those rare individuals whose name and deeds

are kept alive throughout the .vc*rrs. ,&{*}ph lV*ldo f,merson, the famous American lecturer of the l9th

century, once said, *There is probably no history, only biography." That was his way of suggesting'

perhaps, that history consists merely of nccounts of the lives of certain persons. If we accept f,merson's

declaration, the life of Andrew Pickens must be viewed as an important facet of our heritage.

Luckily, the noticeable absence in Pickens County of any known portrnit of "The Fighting Elder"

(as Andrew Pickens has been described) carne to an end in 1982. James P. Rouleau, a direct descendant of

General Pickens and a resident cf Greensb*ro, North Carolina, donated a large portrait of the county's

namegake to the County Museum" *,1r', F-*.r:ri{exu h;trt c*rrnmissioned Martin Mugar, a Yale-educated artist,

to paint the gift portrait. Becnuse of tile p*rtrnit d*n*r'$ generosity and the successful efforts of a well-

known and talent*d painter, rn irer;lres$ive iiliecless *S t\,ndr*w Fickens is now proudly and prominently

disptayed in the County Museunru lo{r}t*{: at. tfu* *orner of Pendleton and Johnson streets in Pickens.

Many historical objects pertaining to the geogrnphic region are preserved and exhibited on the ground

floor of that historic building, which once served *s a county jailhouse. (continued on next page)

Nofwithstanding the gift portrait of General Fichens, tr feel that more should be done, especially bythe county's own citizens, to honor a great but relatively neglected past historical figure of the upstate.Andrew Pickens certainly played an important role in securing the freedoms that we presently enjoy. Hisefforts were exerted when our country rvas evolving into a new and independent nation. Thus theoutstanding leader of the Carolina fronlier is du* more widespread recognition, especially in thegeographic trea where he once lived and in which he wns laid to rest (at the Old Stone Church nearClemson, South Carolina).

I feel that a statue of General Pickens should be erected somewhere in Pickens County, if for noother reason than the frontier fighter's role in the Battle of Cowpens, which took place within present-day Cherokee County, South Carolina. There, with the rank of colonel in the militia and under theleadership of General Daniel Florgan (1736-1802), Andrew Pickens was second in command. The Battleof Cowpens, fought in January 1781, has been described in the Oxford Companion to American History astone of the brilliant American victories in the War of Independence and a military classic." During thatdecisive military engngement, which culminated in an American victory, Colonel Pickens and hisfrontiersmen conducted an onslaught on the enemy'$ left flrtnk Their attack helped to entrap andoverpower the Redcoats, who were led try Bnnaslre'flsrletCIn, n British colonel noted for his haughtiness.

The American force at Cowpens was made up of 940 untrnined and fnirly undisciplined settlers ofthe upcountry, Many of them were farmers. Om ths other hand, the British force consisted of 1,150regular soldiers. Even so, 2(X) Englishmen were killed and 600 prisoners were captured in theengagement. Only 72 Americans lost their lives on were wounded during the battle. Later, AndrewPickens was promoted to the rank of brigadier general, chiefly through the efforts of John Rutledge'president of the general assembly. Then, when the governrnent of the new nation wss formed, Congressauthorized the presentation of, a sword to the militia lender. Eventually, Andrew Pickens was alsopromoted to the rank of mnjor general in the s1;1{s'ri vmilit ia, ."Lrneirica's eventual success in the warbrought an end to General Fickrns' activc rolc i l : ,r i i puri i l l i i " ' iei; ; . tu'r"---u role th*t begaur in earnest in 1761.At that time, the frontier leader was a twenty-unc-ye*r*ulc! militia lieutenant attached to LieutenantColonel James Grantns massive expedition against the Cheroleees.

Even though *ftention has been focrrsed tFrns f,sr on militnry exploits of Andrew Pickens, TheFighfing f i lder's nccomplishments were nnt l imit*d to the hntt lef ield. In 1732, General Pickens waselected to the srate legislature,

'l-he follolving venr" the legislature presented hirn a gold medal as a tokenof the state's apprecirtion for his service in the $\'sr of lrrdependence. (It should be noted that AndrewPickens served without pay throughout thc rvar.) T"he formen tendier soon tiecarne prominent in statepolitics. His popularity as a political leatler increns*d rvith {'ns:h El*ssirtg year of his life.

In 1783 Congress chose General Pickens ns n tre*ii sl*t*rlfint{}r with Indian tribes of the Southeast.fhroughout most of the suhsequent two decariesu th*: !'ormer Indian fighter represented the Federalgovernment in various affairs with l.{ativc Amerir:sns. Then, after the state legislature approved theremoval of South Carolina's capital from Charlest*m to a more central and accessible location, AndrewPickens was selected to serve on fl committee to lncnte B new site for the stateos seat of government.General Pickens and other members of the committee chose n two-square'mile area near Fridayns Ferryon the Congaree River. The new capital was given the name Columbia.

As the flnited States is presently celehrating the bicentennial of its Constitution, we shouldremember that Andrew Pickens was & strong supp$rter of the adoption of that docurnent. As a delegate tothe May 1788 Constitutional Convention in South Carolina, General Pickens used his popularity andpolitical influence to bring about the npproval of the basic lnw of our nation. The delegates voted 149 to73 in favor of the adoption of the tl.S, Constitution. Totlayo that instrument of law is the world's oldestwritten constitution. It is certainly something of

"vhich all Annericans should remain proud. Moreover,

South Carolinians should not forget the part that Andrew Pickens played in gaining its approval in thestate. In 1789, Andrew Pickens wa$ elected the first state senator of Pendleton County, which eventuallyevolved into Andersonr Oconee and Pickens counties. And from 1793 until (continued on negt page)

1795, he served in Congress as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.In the final analysis, we know that more than one hundred years ago the citizens of Spartanburg

County honored General Daniel Morgan, one of the heroes of the Battle of Cowpens. They erected an

impressive statue of the general, even though the Continental Army leader was not a South Cerolinian.(In 1780 General Nathanael Greene, commander of American troops in the Carolina campaign of the

War of Independence, sent General Morgan to the state from Virginia.) Some readers of this article

might recall recent news reports concerning the refurbishing of General Morgan's statue, as well as plans

to return it, in January 1988, to its original pedestal in Spartanburg's Morgan Square. That news should

remind the citizens of Pickens County that they have not honored the other hero of Cowpens, General

Andrew Pickens, with a similar statue.To help erase the long-standing neglect of a deserving American patriot, I propose that a life-size'

or greater, heroic bronze statue of Andrew Pickens be erected in a public place in Pickens County.

Perhaps the monument could be placed in our county seat---possibly even on the square of the Pickens

County Courthouse. Money needed for the project could be obtained by means of a highly publicized and

well-coordinated fundraising drive. Oversight and sponsorship of the project could be provided, perhaps,

by the Pickens County Historical Society. As a trronze statue would be costly, the fundraising drive might

be extended throughout a period of many years. Additionally, time will be required to select a sculptor

and to design, create and erect the monument.The 2lst century will be upon us in only 12 years. If a statue of Andrew Pickens could be erected

by the year 2000, what better way could citizens of the county begin the new century on January 1' 2000'

than by holding a dedication and unveiling ceremony for the proposed statue? Indeed, an impressive

carving or casting of the likeness of Andrew Pickens, made possible by donations from thousands of

citizens of the county-and even by clubs, civic groups and other organizations---would be a fitting

memorial to a partisan leader who helped, in no smnll measure, to subdue the Cherokees and to drive

British soldiers from South Carolina.

My interest in the Old Pendleton Distnct Chapter is based on my maternal DICKSON and SMITH ancestors. My

great grandfather rvas Priestly Eugene DICKSON b. l3 March I 859 in Pickens Distnct (Six Mile) SC I have not been

able to tie hirn into any of the pre civil war DICKSON families in that area. In lact I have nothing on his family or

siblings.He married Arabelle SMITH in l88l in Anderson Co., SC. Arabelle was the daughter of Robert W. SMITH

and AbagailBRYAN of Anderson Co., SC (near Iva). Priestly Eugene and Arabell migrated to Morgan Co., Georgia

sometime shortly after they were married and raised a family of four boys and four girls.

I have information on grandma Arabell SMITH S sibl ings and especial lv two of her sisters who married McAlister

and Cothran and probably stayed in Pickens Co., SC. Any help appreciated.

Linda G. Cheek,247 Cross Hil l Road, Easley, SC 29640-8857 E-Mail: LGCheek@Aol.comI have just recently heard " rumor's" about SMITH BIBI-ES and need help to locates these valuable records.In the 1950's some old SMITH BIBLES were supposedly in the possession of Mrs Walter R. Davis of Retreat,Westminister, Oconee SC. Does anyone know about this Davis family or a living descendant?

Also Mr Sam Smith of Oconee Co SC in the I 950's stated that his sister Carrie Smith Merritt, 2nd wife of WilliamMarion Merritt had many old Bibles and records of the Smiths at her home. NEED A LIVING DESCENDANT ofthis family?Also Mr John Lawrence North Smith, son of Caleb M. Smith, a genealogist in the 1920's had gathered much date inhis lifetime from the elder members of the Smith Family (Oconee Co SC) Does anyone know of any livingDESCENDANTS of this family or know what happened to these records? This is probably my last hope of findinganymore on my Smith Family in Old Pendleton District, SC. I know for sure that my Christopher Smith and his fatherAmbrose Josehua Smith had familv Bibles that descended to Christopher then to his son Charles Smith who stated

that his birth was listed in his grandfather's Bible and that one of his (Charles) children now has this Bible (1832).

PICKENSVILLE BURNED IN I8I6. GIVEN I ,OTTERY FTJNDS:There is much richness and romance in the story of our nearly forgotten old towns. Although the tale of a fallen towniftragic, it is nevertheless one of perculiar interest. Like Goldsmith's "Sweet Auburn" vle no\\ sec our ancient countyseats as "loveliest villages."I have often tried to imagine the life in Old Pickensville in its day of influence. Pickensville exrsted as a court town onlyeight years, 1792-1800. At that time it was the seat ofjustice for Washington District, rvhich included both Greenvilleand Pendleton counties. It rivaled Greenville and Pendleton in size and importance. and its future must have been farrosier than that of either of the subordinate county seats.But fate, thought the District act of 1798 changed the course of events. Washington District was abolished and thecounty courts at Greenville and Pendleton became district courts. That was the death blow to Pickensville in 1826.Only twenty-five years after the removal of the court, it is stated by Mills in his statistics that the town had lost itsimportance and consisted of only a few houses. Yet if remained of a village of several plantations until it was absorbedby the town of Easely in 1874. Now the only reminder of its former existence is the fast decaying old hotel or tavernnear McCoy's store.Recently there came to my notice, while looking throllgh a lrolume of South Caroline statutes therecord of anincident of which I had never before heard and which I am sure rvillbe of rnterest to the readers of The

Progress.It seems that in 1816 there was a very disastrous fire at Pickensville. In the same year a petition was

addressed to the Legislature "praying for the benefit of the sufferers from the late fire." In December 1816 the

Legislature did take notice of the petition and by Act No. 2175, A.D. 1816, suyhotized the lottery and appointed

commissioners to administer it.The fire loss must have been considerable for the profits of the lottery were to be ten thousand dollars, a large amount

of money in those days. Upland was then worth from .50 cents to $10 an acre and the best bottom land was not worth

over $50.00. This money was to be distributed to the sufferers according to their loss, and any remainder given to

some charitable institution. The commissioners were: John T. Lewis, Joseph Gresham, James C. Griffin, Robert

Anderson and Walter S. Adair, Esquires.Public Lotteries are gone now. In those days in the absence of great insurance agencies they were necessary as well

as entertaining. But Alas! The complicated insurance system of today has pushed the lottery to the dark grave even

as Bevo has overcome the famous mint julip Will not the reader join me in a sigh for those days of long ago? Sg:

HANGED. Dyer McJunkin, prisioner at the bar, having been convicted of the murder of James Trotter the sentence

of the Court's that he be taken hence to the place whence he last came and closely secured in the County jail of Pickens

Co. Friday the23 June 1876 he will be hanged by his neck untildead. Pickens Sentinel Issue. l6 March 1876

The Governor commanded the sentence of Dyer McJunkin from hanging to ten years at hard labor in the Penitentiary.

This due to all our people and we feel it necessary to review the Governors reasons for his actions:

The State vs Dyer McJunkin-murder--The Defendant was tried and convicted for murder at the March 1875 term of

the court for Pickens County and sentenced to be hung: his pardon is now asked for by numerous persons who present

the case by five separate petitions aggregating in number fully one thousand citizens of Pickens Co.

Special statements ofthe case in support of the application for pardon are made by Hon R.E. Bowen and D.F. Bradley,

Esq., Representatives ofPickens Co by Stepehn D. Keith, Clerk of the Court, J. Riler Ferguson, Sheriff, by Hon. W.C.

Keigh Senator for Oconee Co and attorney for the Defendant, by R.A. Childs another of the attorneys for the

Defendant and by other officers and leading citizens of Pickens Co. A special and favorable review of the case is

likewise made by William E. Earle, Esq.His Honor judge Cooke who presided at the trial and Mr Solicitor Blythe who prosecuted the case each join in a

recommendation that the sentence be commuted from death to imprisonment for a term of years. These

recommendations under all the circumstances seem to me conclusice as to my duty and I therefore decline to grant

a pardorL but commute the sentence from death to imprisonment in the State Penitentiary at hard labor for the period

of ten years. Sg: D.H. Chamberlain, Governor of South Carolina l7 April 1876. Pickens Sentinel Issue: 27 April1876.

believe that it is an M for Martin? The T is crossed so not Harbin. Comparing this letter with the name Hubbard and

IN THIS ISSUE:- Old Pendleton Database CD-ROM

I had a chance to use an interesting new CD-ROM this week, called the "Old Pendleton District." This Windows andMacintosh CD-ROM contains information on226,000 individuals and 77,000 familieswith roots in the Old Pendleton area of South Carolina, The information on the CD-ROM states, "For individuals theDatabase will show names and dates and places where born, married, died and buried. There will be links to spouses,children, parents and siblings. "

First of all, I w,illpoint out that this is not a slick, commercial product in a glossy, shrink-wrap package that is mass-producedbythethousands. Instead, it is an effort of love producedby a small, nonprofit group of genealogists. Theinterface is a bit "Spartan" and there is little documentation. What the disk does have is data... lots of data! Quotingfrom the on-disk documentation:

The data for the file came from member contributions and many other sources. While we do our best to assure dataconsistency and integrity, we cannot verify the information submitted to us by others. For that reason the Databaseshould be viewed as a research tool and ready reference and as a guide to furtherresearch and genealogical proof. This is very much of an ongoing project and as new information

becomes available, not only will individual and family records be added, but also information contained in existingrecords may change. So, as new versions are posted, the old version should be deleted and the new one used forreference.OK, so what fancy program do you have to learn to use in order to view these 226,000+ 1n6;,r16uals? You

may be surprised at the answer: your present genealogy program. There are seven copies of the database on this CD-ROM; each copy is in a diflerent format.

Those seven formats are:1. Brothers Keeper2. Family Origins for Windows3. Personal Ancestral File version 4.04. Family TreeMaker for Windows version 5.05. Family TreeMaker for Windows version 6.06. Family TreeMaker for Windows version 7.07 GEDCOM

If you use any of the first six programs in the above list, you simply transfer the appropriatedatabase to your hard drive. Then you use your own genealogy program to view the data.If your genealogy program isn't listed amongst the first six programs above, you can openyour favorite genealogy program, create a new database, and then import the GEDCOM filefrom the CD-ROM into your fresh database. If you use The Master Genealogist, you canimport directly from some of the first six formats listed above: you do not have to use the

GEDCOM file.

Regardless of which genealogy program you use, the data is available to you in a program

that you are already familiar with. If you find data that you believe to be accurate and that you

want to import into your main database, the more powerful genealogy programs will let you

"prune" a branch from the CD-ROM database and "graft" it onto your primary database.Keep in mind the earlier disclaimer, "We cannot verify the information submitted to us byothers." Treat each piece of information on this CD-ROM disk as something that might betrue, not something that is proven.

I first used Family Origins for Windows version 8.0 to look at the data. The Family Originsdatabase supplied on the Old Pendleton Database CD-ROM disk is compressed as a self-extracting ZIP file. I double-clicked on the file in Explorer and answered a couple ofquestions, after which the file was extracted to my hard drive. Next I went to Family Origins,

selected FILE, then OPEN DATABASE, and then clicked on the Old Pendleton Database.Voila! I was looking at the data of 226,000 people.

As always, I went looking for individuals with my surname. I found a few. The data availablevaried quite a bit. For some records, dates and places of birth, marriage and death were

displayed. For others only a single date or fact was shown. I was able to use Family Origins'normal commands to find individuals and to "walk" up and down their family trees.

I then switched to The Master Genealogist and did almost the same thing. The one differenceis that there is no Master Genealogist database included on the Old Pendleton Database CD-ROM. Instead, I used The Master Genealogist's GenBridge utility to import the Family

Origins database. I did not need to use the GEDCOM version. The import process required

about 20 minutes to run while I was also typing this article in a different window on the same

PC. The results were the same: I could use The Master Genealogist to navigate around the

Old Pendleton Database.

Macintosh users will be pleased to hear that the CD-ROM also will operate properly on their

systems if certain settings are made. I suspect that Macintosh genealogy programs will only

be able to use the GEDCOM file, however. Still, that seems like a minor limitation. There is

no printed instruction manual, so the instructions for using the Macintosh version are included

on the CD-ROM. That seems a bit strange since a Mac user who cannot read the disk also

cannot access the instructions! Luckily, the same instructions are available online at:

http : //www. shelby. net/j r/olpend/#macs.

In addition to the database, the Old Pendleton District CD-ROM disk contains a number of

other "goodies", including:x a trial version of shareware genealogy program Brothers Keeper* demo (limited feature) version of Family Origins for Windows 7.0

I 5-day (full features) trial version of Family Origins for Windows 8.0.

II. * Family Tree Maker version 6.0 Family Archive Viewerx Family Tree Maker version 6 0 15-day trial versionx Text file of all surnames contained in the database* Text file of places and genealogical events listed in the databasex Text file of unique locations listed in the database* A map showing the Old Pendleton District in reference to modern South Carolina, North

Carolina and Georgia counties.The price ofthe Old Pendleton District Database CD-ROM is quite low: $15.00 U.S. funds

for the initial order and then only $ l0 00 for updates. The producers plan to create updates

senrimonthly. You can order updates at any time you please, you do not have to "subscribe"

to all of them. For more information, look at: http://www.shelby.net/jrlolpend/

The Old Pendleton District database is also available in GEDCOMfonnat at:http://www.geocities.com/BourbonStreet/Delta/8155/site2.html. You can download

the entire database from that location at no charge and import it into your genealogy program.

However, you may prefer to purchase the CD-ROM version anyway. The online version is

huge and will require 30 to 45 minutes to download, depending upon the speed of your

Internet service provider and the speed of your modem. You will need to download the

database in several parts and then re-assemble it on your PC

Also keep in mind that the online version is only available in GEDCOM format, while the CD-

ROM contains the same data in the native format of several genealogy programs. This will

be very important to anyone using Family Tree Maker; the producers of the Old Pendleton

District database report that Family Tree Maker is unable to handle this large GEDCOM file

when running on Windows 95 or Windows 98. Yet the same program will import the

GEDCOM file properly when operating on Windows NT. Obviously, the GEDCOM problem

will not be an issue for anyone who purchases the CD-ROM containing native Family Tree

Maker databases.I was pleased with the Old Pendleton District Database on CD-ROM It is available at low

cost or even for free. It contains valuable genealogy data that can be used in your favorite

genealogy program. Remember that this is all secondary data without source citations. Users

will be well advised to consider this data to be "possibilities" and always verif,i everything you

find in the database. This CD-ROM disk is a "must have" for anyone researching ancestors

SECNNTS OF UPSTATE S. C. ST-,,A.VEHOLDER

By Charles H. Busha, Ph.D.

The well-pubticized ltistorical episode of miscegenation in which Thomasfefferson, the third President of the United States, and his slave mistress, SallyHemings, participsted might seem paltry (perhaps innocuous) in comparisonwith an apparent wsnton and enduring sexual liaisonthat existed in the micl-[800s between a SoutltCarolins slaveholder and his paruntour, asreported by a former slave. In s letter sent fromItis home in MaysJield, Texas (and transcribedwithin this article), lhe ex-slave, a quadroon,

wrote thot he and five siblings had been bornin Pickens District to a beuutiful mulattowoman who was purchased in Newberry,then held in bondage and impregnated re-peatedll, bJ, Elias fuIullirtux, lrcr owneF.

\J.n"rlogists often find themselves in a blind alleyas they attempt to trace and record the history of a family'sancestories. One of these obstacles (or perhaps challenges) isthe matter of those children born to unmarried couples. Be'getted under spouseless circumstances, these children aresometimes described as illegimates, or babies born out ofwedlock or products of common-law marriages. In many old

court records such offspring were frequently classified as

"bastards." In the not-too-distant past when paternity prob-

lems were taken to court for legal action, the presumedfather could be presented a "bastard warrant" and possiblythen convicted of "bastardrY."

The numerous published and unpublished recordsthat genenlogists utilize contain many cases of out-of-wed-lock births. For example, while thumbing through one setof genealogical reference books, namely A Collection ofItpper South Carolhta Genealogical and Family Records,edited by James E. Wooley (Easley, SC: Southern Histor-ical Press, 1979),the following spouseless births werequickly noted: (1) Nancy Padgett delivered a female babyin 1849, and she claimed that (continued on next page)

MuLt lxnxDied.Iuly 10, 1859

-2-

Alvin Algood was its father; (2) Nathaniel Reidwas judged to have been the father of a malebaby born in 1852 to Mary Phillips; (3) in his1901 will, William Hunter of the valley of theTwelve MiIe River €xpressed a desire for hiseight children who were born to Sarah Ellenburgto change their names from Ellenburg to Hunter;(a) Lilly and Samuel Whitmire made oath March4, 1829, that their unmarried daughter, Delilah,gave birth to a baby in 1825 and that RobertCobb was its father; and (5) Ellen Marshall, asingle woman, appeared before Magistrate J. W.Singleton in 1860 and claimed that Lewis Carrollwas the father of her blue-eyed, towheaded girlwho was born in 1854.

Another example---among the many thatcould be enumerated here---is the followingwhich appeared in the September 1999 issue ofthe Na,psletter of the Old Pendleton Districl (S. C.Genealogical Society): Frankey Turner took outa bastard warrant January 12, 1850, forArchibald Anderson, who, she claimed, was thefather of her two offspring.

Notwithstanding the above out-of-wedlock births among Caucasians---all of whichare examples of potential problems for persons inpursuit of family history---the mixed offspring ofvarious slaveowners and their female Negroslaves cause even more genealogical perplexities.Throughout the years in which plantationslavery flourished in the United States, thepractice of interracial mating (also known asmiscegenation) was quite common. Racially-mixed children were sometimes fathered byslaveholders, their sons or overseers of plant-ations. At times, interracial sex became a sourceof tension in the antebellum South. Overall,however, it was publicly condemned---butprivately tolerated. (Also, South Carolina didnot outlaw interracial marriages until after theCivil War.)

According to the Dictionary of Afro-American Slavery, edited by Randall M. Millerand John David Smith (New York: GreenwoodPress, 1988), the longtime practice of mis-cegenation in the nation has contributed to the(hybridizationtt of the Afro-American popu-lation, and one observer of the racial sceneclaimed that the majority of blacks in the United

States now have some non-Africian ancestry O.476).

Sexual contact between whites and blackseventually declined appreciably because ofadverse social, political and economic effects ofthe armed conflict between the North and South,as well as the passage of discriminatory statutes("Jim Crow laws") in the former states of theConfederacy. Those laws tended to separate anddrive a wedge between the races; they also hadthe effect of virtually isolating Afro-Americanswith respect to the white population.

Before the Civil War, rarely were acts ofmiscegenation the subjects of legal scrutiny inSouth Carolina. Although births which occurredas a result of sexual encounters between whitesand blacks were topics of some gossip andwhispers at the local level, they were generallynot matters for legal action---thus not recordedin off icial records. Slaves were possessions, andwhat took place between them and their ownerstypical ly did not become public issues. Moreoften than not births of racial ly-mixed babiesbecame common knowledge only through wordof mouth---that is by means of oral traditions---and then usually only in the immediate com-muni ty in which such b i r ths occurred.

This art icle focuses on questions ofparentage in an al leged sexual relationshipbetween a white slaveowner in Pickens District,South Carolina, and one of his slaves. This localexample of miscegenation which apparently tookplace down on the farnt came to l ight neither bymeans of gossip nor revelations in public re-cords, but as a result of a letter written by an ex-slave who wanted to identify his parents and totell the truth about the circumstances of hisbirth. In effect, the case at hand resulted frompure serendipity; it was uncovered accidentallyin the course of my research concerning a familythat was not blood related to any of the partiesinvolved in the parentage episode reportedherein.

In 1987, I was involved in researchconcerning William Stanton 6'8ill" Williams(1811-1880) and his son, Thomas Herbert 3'Hub"

Williams (1844-1890), both of whom migrated toTexas from the Salubrity community of PickensDistrict. South Carolina. after the Civil War. In

an attempt to obtain more information aboutthese men and their families, I wrote to ElliottWilliams Atkinson (b. 30 May 1901), who, Ilearned, was a direct descendant of the two menabout whom I needed information and who willbe referred to as E.W.A. in the remainder of thisarticle. A resident of Shreveport, Louisiana,E.W.A'was in the eighty-sixth year of his longlife. But he promptly and graciously providedmuch useful family data for my research effort.

E.W.A. and his'wife, Mildred Elizabeth(DeWoody) Atkinson, had a labor of love inpreserving the history and heritage of theWil l iams and Atkinson famil ies and their largehomestead in Milam County, Texas. The couplealso played key roles in organizing and planningfarni ly reunions, which were held annually onLabor Day at the Litt le River Baptist Churchnear Maysfield, Texas. Many members of theWil l iams family (along with some of their closefriends who came to Texas from South Carolina.Georgia and Alabama) were laid to rest in thecemetery.

.I 'he Litt le River Baptist Church cenreterywas also the end of the trai l for the legendaryManson Sherri l l 66Manse" Jolty (1840-1869), theex-Confederate soldier and "unreconstructedrebel" from the Lebanon community ofAndersnn Distr ict. Jol ly had f led from SouthCarolina to 'fexas in the fall of 1866, while beingpursued by Federal off icials who announced a$10,000 reward for his arrest. IIis tombstone inthe Texas cemetery contains a Masonic emblemand the following brief inscription: "Sacred tothe mernory of Nlanson S. Jolly, Aged 29 Years."Jolly and his horse were accidentally drownedJuly 8, 1869, as they attempted to cross rain-swollen Walker Creek near Maysfield, Texas.E.W.A.'s grandfather, Thomas Herbert "Hub"Williams, had Jolly's body buried next to theWilliams family's cemetery plot. The two menwere Confederate veterans, natives of upstateSouth Carolina, and very close fr iends.

While corresponding with E,W.A., theelderly scion of the Williams clan requestedinformation about Elias Mullinax, a nineteenth-century planter in Pickens District. According tomy correspondent, Mullinax had resided nearthe home of William Stanton "Bill" Williams.

-?-

who was E.W.A.'s great-grandfather and ^longtime postmaster of Salubrity Post Office. Inhis letters E.W.A. appeared to have beenattempting to establish a connection between theWilliants family and Elias Mullinax.

E.W.A. also wrote at length about HubWilliams, his grandfather, who had been ^Confederate soldier during the Civil War. Henoted that Hub received an excellent preparatoryeducation at Thalian Academy, situated in theSlabtown community of Anderson Distr ict andheaded by the Reverend John Leland Kennedy,a well-known and highly-respected Presbyterianrninister and educator of t lre upstate. Hub alsobrief ly attended South Carolina Cotlege inColunrbia (now the University of SouthCarolina), but he left that insti tut ion in Apri ll86l when the Civi l War broke out. The sixteen-year-old then enlisted in the Confederate StatesArrny over his father's strong objections becauseof the son's youthfulness. In spite of his father'smisgivings, Hub became a good Confederatesoldier and quickly rose to the 1xnl. of hrevet

Manse Jollyts Tombstone at theLittle Ri-ver BaPtist Church ln

l:lilam County, Texas

-&-lieutenant. Later, he was also promoted tosecond lieutenant. E.W.A. wrote that Hub hadbeen succeeded as a brevet lieutenant in hiscompany by another young soldier identifiedonly as 6tE. Mullinax.tt

My kind correspondent in Shreveport,Louisiana, thu.g assumed that the new brevetlieutenant who followed Hub was EliasMullinax, a person who had often beenmentioned by Bunk Rosemond, who was borninto slavery back in South Carolina and laterbecame an employee and ,close fr iend of theWilliams family in Milam County, Texas.

In my response to a letter from E.W.A, Iwrote that one Elias Mullinax who had resided inPickens District was a son of Matthew Mullinax,a Revolutionary War veteran. This man operat-ed a farm situated on waters of Eighteen MileCreek, and he died unmarried in 1859 at theage of about fifty-two years. I also noted in myletter that Elias' grave is situated in what is nowthe cemetery of Smith Grove Baptist Church,which was originally the Mull inax burial groundon the family's farm.

Moreover, I wrote that, because IlliasMullinax expired before the Civil War, hc couldnot have been a Confederate soldier. I thenspeculated in writing that the E. Mullinax inquestion most probably was Emanuel R.Mullinax of Anderson District. an enrollee inCompany I, 4th South Carolina Infantry,Volunteers. C.S.A. That soldier entered theConfederate States Army April 14, 1861, atPickensville. Hub Williams, the grandfather ofmy correspondent, had also enlisted in the samemil i tary company on the same day and at thesame place. Both men also served subsequentlyin the Palmetto Sharpshooters, which wasorganized April 16,. 1862, from several formercompanies of the 4th, sth, and 9th SouthCarolina Infantry regiments, all of which hadbeen activated for a period of service of onlytwelve months.

E.W.A. had written a biographical sketchof the previously-mentioned Bunk Rosemond,the ex-slave who had spoken often of EliasMullinax. Typed copies of that sketch weredistributed in 1974 to various members of theWilliams and Atkinson families bv mv

"Last night... I was reading a book DeepSummer by Gwen Bristow. The story includes acharacter, the son of the plantation owner by hisquadroon slave, and that reminded me of BunkRosemond. To most people, Bunk has passedfrom memory and with nry passing, I doubt thatvery many, i f any, people would ever know whoBunk was. Therefore, I shall herewith writewhat I know about Bunk and his relation to mvfamily...

"My grandfather, Thomas [I. Williams,rode from South Carolina to Texas by horsebackin 1866. He settled in Milam County, Texas, andin 1874 his father William Stanton Williams'

who was living in Liberty, S. C., moved his

family to Texas and brought with him some ofhis former slaves and other freedmen whowanted to come with him...

"lVIy grandfather gave Bunk fifty acres ofgood river land when he came to Texas andBunk worked it and increased his acreage toseveral hundred acres until he got too old tofarm...

"Bunk always celebrated the Juneteenth(that 's the l9th, Emancipation Day) with ^barbecue. IIe would ki l l a pig and a goat andbarbecue it and we would always look forward togetting some of that fresh barbecue. Also hewould always try to have watermelons ripe out ofhis patch by the 19th, and that also wassomething to look forward to...

"My mother and Aunts told me abouthow Bunk was called to the bedside of mygrandmother, Emma Massengale Wil l iams, whenshe was dying, and she made Bunk promise tolook after her f ive daughters that she was leavingon her farm as orphans at her death. To myknowledge, he was true to his promise because hewas most devoted to the family for as long as hel ived. . .

"Around f l laysfield, scutt lebutt had itthat Bunk was related to the Williams family. Ihad a great aunt, Amelia Wil l iams Massengale,who had a rather sharp tongue at t imes, andonce some of her unfriendly acquaintances inMaysfield sent word to her that they sure wouldhate to be kin to a nigger. She sent back wordthat she would rather be kin to a Negro than ason of a bitch. As to Bunk, I felt that way too.But Bunk sett led the question of his birth whenhe got drunk at his home and wrote my father aletter... In the letter Bunk told him that he wasthe son of a beautiful mulatto and a white manby the name of Elias Mullinax...

"Evidently, lVIr. Mullinax was a friend ofthe Wil l iams' in South Carolina. I have latelybecome acquainted (by correspondence) witlrMarshall Williams... He is a descendant to W. S.Williams' brother. I asked him about the

Mullinax family in or near Liberty, S. C., and hetold me that he had heard of a man by that namewho was a planter and he said that he nevermarried, and it had been rumored that he l ivedamongst his slaves. Apparently, Bunk was aproduct of that living. Anyway, thatts Bunk's

-5-

story of parentage, but Bunk wasntt one who

would be ashamed...

"He lived as a Negro. He married I

Negro woman' Sophie... They lived together until

they died. Bunk and Sophie had several

children---There's Bass, Purne, Tobe, Red, Juliet

Roxie. That's all that I can remember...

"Once Uncle Ben took him into the new

dining room of the Kyle hotel in Temple, Texas.

He ahnost had to pull him in, but Bunk was

whiter than a lot of white men and had long

straight white hair. IIe would pass for a white

man most anytime. f le drank, did his cutt ing

up, but all in all, he was a good citizen in his

conrmunity. t '

The exact date of Elias Mullinax's birth ispresently not known, but available evidencepoints to the period 1805-1808. (An obituary inthe July 30, 1859, issue of The Keowee Couriertisted his age as fifty-four years' but an age offifty-two years is carved on his tombstone.) EliaslVlullinax was a son of Matthew Mullinax (b. ca1760 - d. 27 Jan 1837) and Ruth (Kennemore)

Mullinax. Persons who need additional inform-ation about this farni ly may want to read thearticle titled 6'Matthew lVlullinax Was aRevolutionary Patriot" in the September 1999(Vol. 13, No. 7) issue of the newsletter of theOld Pendleton District chapter of the SouthCarolina Genealogical Society.

In the 1840s and 1850s, Elias residedabout three miles west of Pickensville and onwaters of Eighteen Mile Creek. In the 1850census of South Carolina, this farmer was listedas the only white person residing in hishousehold, but fourteen slaves in the householdwere enumerated as follows: one female mulatto,age 23; one female black, age 33; one maleblack, age 19; six male blacks, ages betweenseven years and one month; one female mulattotage two years; and four female blacksr agesbetween nine years and four months.

Elias Mullinax died unmarried July 10'1859, and his body was interred in the Mullinaxburial ground on his farm. Many years later (in

l9l4 to be exact), the land on which that

cemetery was situated was owned by TillmanNathan Smith (1877-1954), and he gave it thatyear to the congregation of a newly-organizedBaptist church. As the church was established in

1914 on donated land and near a prominentgrove of trees at the edge of cultivated fields, itwas named Smith Grove Baptist Church inhonor of the contributor.

The following obituary for Elias Mullinaxappeared in The Keowee Courier of July 30,1859:

'(I)ied, at his residence, in pickensDistrict, near Pickensville, on the l0th inst., ofBillious Typhoid fever. Mr. ELIAS MULLI-NND(, in the 54th year of his age. His illness wasvery painful and protracted, being five weeksand some days confined to his bed. The deceasedleaves a large circle of relations and friends tomourn his loss. He was a man of high moralworth, of industrious habits and veryeconomizing, by which means he accumulatedmuch of this world's goods. Though close in hisdealings, he was strictly honest, charitable andobliging to those by whom he was surrountletl.He made no profession of Religion, yet we lnournnot for him as though we had no hope; for whilehe retained his proper mind during his i l lness, heappeared to be much concerned about thesalvation of his soul, and was often ---?--- hathsaid in his word, 66let the wicked forsake hisway, and the unrighteous man his thoughts, andIet him return unto the Lord, and he wil l havemercy upon him; and to our God for he ryillabundantly pardon". Yes, he pardoned the thiefupon the cross, and we hope that he hearcl andanswered the prayers of our deceased frientl, andpardon al l his sins, and that while worms arepreying upon his lifeless body, his immortalspirit is with the Angelic Choir praising the Lordfor redeeming grace and dying love in theParadise of God. A Friend,'

On September 14, 1859, the heirs of El iaslVlullinax agreed to sell, at auction, the real andpersonal property of the estate and to thendivide the proceeds of the sale equally without anadministrator. As Elias had neither a legit imatewife nor a child, his heirs were two of hisbrothers, several sisters and brothers-in-law.

An estate sale was held September lS-16,1859, at the deceased's former residence. Inaddition to Elias' 420-acre farm, the followingproperty was offered for sale: twenty-two Negroslaves, a liquor distillery and set of utensils, twobarrels of whiskey, five mules, one mare, a lot of

-6-

corn, household furniture and miscellaneousarticles. As there is no known record of whobought what at the estate sale, we can onlyassume that the slaves were purchased by otherfarmers of the area. Quite possibly, some slavescould have been bought by Wil l iam StantonWil l iams who also kept slaves and resided atSalubrity, situated a short distance downstreamon waters of Eighteen Mile Creek.

Bunk Ror..*I-Gi a young man---perhaps a teenager---when he left the PalmettoState, and he spent the greater part of his l i fe inthe so-called Western Wilds of the Lone StarState. Because the former slave was three-quarters white and closely associated with theWillianrs family of Milam County, Texas, someresidents of l\{aysfield circulated a rumor thatthe l ight-skin man was a blood relative ofdescendants of Bi l l or Hub Wil l iams.Apparently, the persistent rumor becanre asource of contention and irr i tat ion for Bunk.Shor t ly a f ter the Chr is tnras hol idays of 1926, hedecided to reveal who h is parents were in ahandwritten letter addressed to Hubert LelandAtkinson (1877-1952), the father of E.W.A. Mr.Atkinson had rnarried I larr iett Emily Wil l iams,daughter of l lub Wi l l ianrs and Emma(Nlass ingale) Wi l l iams, and he had assumed themanagenrent of the large Wil l iams homestead.The fol lowing is an unedited transcript of BunkRosernond's revealing letter:

note my agreement wi th the ancient Romans

wlren t lrey utteretl the olt l Latin uraxim Verbavolant, scripto trtonertt (Slloken words fly away'rvri t ten lvords retnain). Nloreover, in reference

to tr l l ias l \ lul l inax's sottrervltat sad and i l l - fated

li fe that sltannetl only a l i t t le more than f ive

decades, I would also agree had the Romans

adrled knowingly, Nemo liber est qui corpori

servit (No one is free who is a slave to his body).

In his letter Bunk displayed lack of a clearunderstanding of his native state's geography,

this because Newberry, South Carolina, is not

near the seacoast as he claimed. Bunk was quite

young when he left South Carolina. 'fhus

Newberry must have been perceived by him then

as a very distant place. But he correctly recalled

the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are visablefrom many foothills of the former PickensDistrict. The rich man "Jau Gul" who wasmentioned by Bunk was undoubtedly Jay Gould(1336-1892) or his son George Jay Gould (1864-

1923\,, both of whom were legendary capitalists

who controlled a number of major railroads in

the United States and amassed huge fortunes.

The 3'Williamt' Freeman also mentioned in

Bunk's letter was probably Herbert Williams

Freeman (b. 11 Jan 1911), son of l lub Wil l iams'

War. Jenkins and the Palmetto Sharpshooters had a special liking for General Lee and his armybut were detached from him several times to fight in other parts of the war. The PalmettoSharpshooters were at Appomattox Courthouse at Lee's surrender.

The fighting along the defensive lines outside Richmond at Oak Grove on June 25,1862 was thefirst in a series of battles, which was destined to continue for a full week. This became knownsimply as "The Seven Days" campaign and it would prove to be one of the bloodiest one-weekmilitary campaigns ever recorded. In R H. Anderson's Brigade of Lon-estreet's division, ColonelJenkins' Palmetto Sharpshooters and the 5'h SC played a conspicuous role during two of thebattles that week. Gaines'Mill and Frayser's Farm It was at Frayser's farm that ThomasBeacham was wounded, how seriously we do not knor,v He recovered to return to fight with hisregiment. Thomas wrote that he was in 42 battles ranging fiom famous ones such asFredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Second Manassas, to manv obscure and forgotten ones. He waselected Lieutenant three t imes and refused a commission each t irne Lowrie Beacham (in hismanuscript) surmises the reason may have been that he did not want to conlmand his father andkinsmen in the regiment. Whatever the reason. he finished the war as a Pi't The Battle ofFrayser's farm was the next to last engagement in the Seven Days. It was a savage afternoonfight in which Lee's army failed to carry out his plan for a coordinated attack against McClellan'sretreating column. In this battle, the Palmetto Sharpshooters and the 5'h SC played a prominentbut bloodv role. Gallant Jenkins charged a Federal Batterv and captLrred it When the FirstPennsylvania Light Art i l lery started moving their art i l len,, Jenkins yelled, "Shoot down theirhorses" and as the horses fell, the Federal gunners abandoned their battery. The battle was costlyas Jenkins South Carolinians were exposed to murderous musket fire from other Federal guns.The losses in the Palmetto Sharpshooters were the highest of any Confederate regiment in thebattle: 2l I wounded, and 49 killed out of 375 who entered the action. Company C lost 80percent of its men. ColonelJenkins wrote his wife that the Palmetto Sharpshooters, with a totalof 563 casualties since May 30, had "suftbred more than any regiment in the service" during thebattles around Richmond in May and June of I 862. Micah Jenkins was promoted to BrigadierGeneral for his valor. The Palmetto Sharpshooters received additional Battle Flags tocommemorate their service'

In November 1862, Hartwell L. Beacham was assigned to drive the ambulance for the Brigade.Whether or not Hartwell asked to be assigned here we do know. He was 44 years old andperhaps not in condition for the marching Infantry (Note. The Confederate Congress did notestablish the Ambulance Corps until 1864) However, as an ambulance driver, he saw the horrorsof war first hand. I can only imagine driving a lumbering wagon full of screaming, injured and

dying men from battlefields to primitive field hospitals for the "surgeons knife". How many timesdid he think of his son James Daniel, a field surgeon in the Mississippi Infantry? Micah Jenkinswas mortally wounded in Virginia by "friendly fire" and I wonder if Hartwell drove theambulance, which carried him to his deathbed. This army job had to be the most grueling job ofall. I only wish Hartwell had written a diary. The story of War Between the States Medicine is abook of it's own. Please see Bibliography for further reading. The Good news of the "warmedicine" is that it pushed medical practice of the day to more modern approaches, enrichedtraining practices of doctors, changed ideas about hospitals and treatments, and helped the UnitedStates build the Medical Corps in the Army today.

For the next year, Hartwell and Thomas fought with the Brigade through Virginia to Maryland,back to Virginia and then to Tennessee. In Virginia, President Jefferson Davis had Jenkinsbrigade assist in the defense of Richmond while General Lee marched to Gettysburg. MicahJenkins wanted to be with General Lee and wrote to him personally. Instead of sending Jenkinsand the Palmetto Sharpshooters to Gettysburg, President Davis sent his nephew's untestedbrigade to Lee. Lee could do nothing but write Jenkins a letter:

I regret exceedingly the absence ofyourselfand your brigade from theBattle of Gettysburg. There is no telling what a gallant brigade, led by anefficient commander, and might have accomplished when victory trembledin the balance I verily believe that the result would have been different ifyou had been present.5

In another source the assistant adjutant and inspector general of Pickett's division wroteafter the war:

With these two brigades (Corse's and Jenkins'), Pickett 's Division, in i tsCelebrated charge at Gettysburg, would have been over eight thousandinstead of only forty-seven hundred strong. Whether the presence of thesetwo large brigades, of as good and proved fighting material as any in theArmy, would have materially affected the resr.rlt of that terrible day-thevery turning point of the war-is not fur me to say.6

Even with all his trying to rejoin [.ee's Army of Northern Virginia, Jenkins brigade wasassigned to Hood's division under General Longstreet to reinforce General Bragg's armynear Chattanooga It would be another 8 months before the Palmetto Sharpshooters
