Re: Need help from Griffin researchers

StevePearson788 — 2009-10-26 00:51:49Z

In 1850 Greenville Co., SC living in the household of Moses Watson, there is an Emily Griffin the right age. She may have been adopted. On the very next census record there is an Elizabeth Griffin 34 HOH with a Margaret 19 and Peter 1 living with her. Anybody know much about this Watson family?

Re: Need help from Griffin researchers

Looking for info on JOSHUA H. BROWN who married a REBECCA MCMAKIN, sister of JANE AND MARY MC MAKIN and daughter of JAMES MCMAKIN, deceased 1808. According to posts on this message board from several years back, Jane and Mary gave Joshua H.

If anyone has info on any of these people or related lines and/or how I might obtain a copy of the Power of Attorney from 1810 that was referenced in a post by Rickey Campbell, I would GREATLY appreciate it!

Thanks!

Mae still resides in St. Petersburg. Richard lives in Palo Alto CA and I live in Parrish FL.

David Barnett

KeithDorn72 — 2009-09-29 05:40:53Z

I find it disrespectful when info is given to someone to share and help and then it is put in this group that my info was eroneous. I started 10 years ago, began with the Barnett Book as a starting point, which was suppose to be correct and after researching found a few things incorrect. I have always told everyone, they still need to check out the facts themselve. If you think I made a mistake, then we can discuss it. I want to know where a mistake was made. First of all, Dawn only has the info that I started out with many years ago, since then corrections have been made. I know that Dawn has been ill and hope is all doing well. But instead of calling me and letting me know she diagreed, she decided to post that I give out eroneous info. We all need to work together in order to fit all the correct pieces together of our great heritage.

Re: David Barnett

JMSkelton1 — 2009-09-28 16:48:41Z

Just a question here, since I'm not really researching the Barnett line.

But! There was a James Harold Barnett who married an Aquilla Skelton back om March of 1949 in Kansas City. He died in Greenville in August of 1980.

Does this man tie into any of your families? My family line I am working onis the Skelton line.

Re: James W. Keller, part Cherokee

Forgot to mention that James W. Keller's wife was full blood Cherokee. Their tribe hid in the mountains rather than take a number(they were not enumerated) and be sent on The Trail of Tears.

James W. Keller, part Cherokee

belle53 — 2009-09-28 15:49:07Z

Seeking information the family of James W. Keller. He was born 1824 in SC as were his parents. He was half Cherokee Indian. He married Sarah Smith born 1824 in SC. Information is from the 1880 census. They had a daughter, Corrie/Carrie Augustus Keller born 1892 in SC. She married Hugh Henry Mahon. He was born 14 Dec 1892 in Hickory Tavern,Laurens,SC. We have some information on the Mahon family so are seeking to find out about the Keller's. I believe that both families started out in Lauren's county and moved to Greenville county. Any help appreciated. Tnanks!

Re: David Barnett

kamama3 — 2009-09-27 18:43:22Z

Dawn,

I would love to get a transcription of Albert Barnett's book, I have notes here & there from it so I would love to get my hands on it as no library in my state offers it. I found some notes that someone else had taken off the Barnett Banner here & there. When you get back to things, let me know the price for the book & I will get that out to you. I am just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. My father moved here from Louisville, Kentucky where the five Barnett boys (grandfather)of a preacher settled. David would be my grandfather 7 generations as well. My email is kamama@sbcglobal.net, I will send you my address & phone number with my check. Please don't rush on any of this, you need to recuperate!

Thanks again for all your time!

That reunion had to be a blast! Thank you for making a connection & wishing you a speedy recovery!

Re: David Barnett

kamama3 — 2009-09-27 11:57:11Z

Hello! I just recently decided I need to get back to genealogy & have just started digging in this line being my maiden name. All my information comes from Keith Dorn, I have had no luck outside of him. After James step out of Smith Co, TN, it seems to get dim. I have what is online through the genwebs, I have TN website info, census records, bible records, cemetary/tombstone photos, church records. My grandparents were in their 70's when I was born & lived out of state, so sadly, there is a lot of gray. My grandfather was the oldest of five brothers to Daniel Barnett who traveled as a revivalist for the Church of God. I have absolutly no information on this. He was the son of James Francis Barnett & Mary Southerland (James's third wife). This is where I am trying to focus now as I have little other than Census's to piece them together. James left Smith Couty, TN for Patoka County, Indiana. He later died in Sebree County, Kentucky. I would love to hear from you & hopefully in time I can contribute my line.

Tura Richey Netterville & Siblings

nd90952 — 2009-09-25 22:21:03Z

Looking for info on Tura [RICHEY] Netterville b. 1896 SC ... would like to know when she died, where she is buried ... Tura’s husband, Robert James NETTERVILLE died in 1939. Tura’s parents where Benjamin Arnold RICHEY b. abt SEP 1855 SC, d. 25 JUL 1910 and Luvinda [various spellings] Viola “Ola” Crawford b. 12 MAY 1871 GA, d. 18 DEC 1951 ... burial for both of Tura's parents at Turkey Creek Baptist cemetery.

Tura Richey had several siblings: Jennie and Nellie appear to have died as RICHEYs so doesn't look like they ever married, and if Wm, Margie or Byrd married at all it was after the 1930 census:

Jennie Bell RICHEY 1893 - 1979 (I find a SS death record)
William Bryan RICHEY 1898 -
Margie E RICHEY 1902
Nellie RICHEY 1904 - 1998 (I find a SS death record)
Byrd RICHEY 1907

... and also, listed on the 1920 and 1930 censuses is a Bernard [or Bennard] RICHEY ... 1920 census shows him as a Grandson to the Head of Household -- Luvinda ... and, on the 1930 census he is shown as Son to the Head of Household -- who is Luvinda. Trouble is that Luvinda's husband, Benjamin Arnold RICHEY, was dec'd in 1910 and buried in Turkey Creek Baptist Cemetery and this Bernard's year of birth is like 1914 / 1915 ... so, he probably was Luvinda’s Grandson ... but then who were his parents?

Does anyone know of this family at all or have additional information?

Re: Mercer Family of South Carolina

JeanBufford — 2009-09-09 00:49:50Z

Hi, I am researching the Mercer Family for my husband. His mother is Fannie Julia Arnold Bufford of Ninety Six SC. Her mother was Tolliver (Tarver) Mercer who married David Sanders Arnold.

We know she had some sisters - Lillie Mae Mercer Carroll Gilliam, Pearl Mercer Huff. Mrs. Bufford said her grandmother's name was Cora Mercer (her mother's mother).

Tarver & David S. Arnold had four children, Darlina (Dean), Inez, Julia, and Collie.

Can you add any info? I will be glad to set up a family tree as soon as I have addition info.

It is actually the real diary, and it is in the Caroliniana Library in Columbia. It was transcribed by a descendant of Washington Taylor, and that copy is at the Greenville Co. Library - I think you have to ask for it at the desk.
I have seen Washington Taylor's house in Greer, but didn't realize Jacob Bridwell's was still there. Can it be seen from the road?

Peggy was my older sister by 18 ys. I missed her so much. You should see the thick genealogy book she created for me. What a talent she had. Back in the early 60s (around 1961) she would visit us in Blyheville, Ark where daddy moved us from Lubbock, TX (where Peggy lived) and she would be on her way to visit cemetaries looking for family names, etc. What a witty person she was! I love you Peggy, and miss you so very much

Re: Henderson & Odam Families

chrisrussell150 — 2009-08-25 06:30:01Z

I don't know if anyone is still monitoring this, but i am interested in the Odam / Henderson / pool(e) connection.

My grandmother died last 2 weeks ago, and we came into posession of a LOT of pictures. We tried have tried to track down geneology on that side before, but have hit dead ends until now. My grandmother was Billie Lee (Polaski) Hearn, born in Granite 1922. Her mother was Bertha Mildred (Mildred Bertha--she seems to have gone by both names) (Odam) Polaski born march 5th 1902 (someplace in TX). 1930 census list both her parents as born in SC. Her mothers name was Nancy Mildred but my mom always said her maiden name was Pool(e). We have pictures of (ma and Pa Odam--maybe steven and Nancy) as well as a picture that references Bun and Hobes? That's a lot of coincedence for me. What do you think?

Bowen Tura Netterville Richey 1984 Aug 13 8A

Evidently she remarried to a Bowen.

Re: David Barnett

twin2daryl — 2009-09-27 14:10:24Z

Hi there, I had a heart then a year later 2006 was in an elevator accident injuring my foot resulting in three operations since. Am on couch with foot on five pillows at present from op in Aug so as soon as I am "on two feet" hopefully in a couple of weeks, I plan on getting everything together. I moved to Hot Springs Village, AR from Tx when my husband retired last year and am on the board of the genealogy soc here. Plan on joining DAR which is the "in" thing here; very active, through our David, who was a Rev. War soldier three times. On to David Barnett -- which child of David are you researching in your line?

By the way, I published a newsletter for many years called The Barnett Banner and communicated with Keith numerous times. A lot of his info is erroenous so don't take it as gospel 'til you check out the primary and secondary sources. Looks like you've done quite a lot of research, so I'm not telling you anything new! I lost track of him when I ceased the publication but would love to give him the correct data. Maybe he has corrected it by now, because I know he traveled a lot on business and went to courthouses, etc. and did research on his trips. Nice guy.

I researched the David Barnett 1755 family for over 15 years, had a reunion with over 100 people from all over the U.S. in Tenn in 1995 (Lebanon, Tn). I have communicated with over 30-40 descendants getting info on all the children, but John. I think John was a pastor and attended Cumberland Bible College but he just alludes me.

Re: David Barnett

twin2daryl — 2009-09-27 17:16:50Z

Hi Megan, yeah, I have some on William. Actually, I can connect you with more people who have researched him. When I was doing the newsletter and had the reunion, a lady was there whose father did a book on the family called "The Barnetts from Smith County, Tenn. I got permission from her to retype it since she only had one copy and it was really fading and hard to read. Then I charged what it cost me to put it together. Printed up 50 of them and have sold most. Think I might have a few left so if you'd like a copy, I'd be glad to send you one.

When I start getting my material together for the DAR next month, I'll see what I can get for you.

Keep in touch. My phone #is 501-226-5102 and address is
39 Barcelona Way, Hot Springs Village, AR 71909

Dawn Barnett (I md a Barnett who is not related) I come from David's daughter, Priscilla (Presahah)'s line. David is 7 generations back for me.

Re: David Taylor & Rebecca Wood Family

AnabelT — 2009-09-19 00:18:16Z

Seven years after your question I just found your query about the relationship and birthplaces
of David S. Taylor, and Alfred Benjamin Taylor, both born in GA, and both moved to SC to areas where their parents
had once lived. David S. Taylor b. 1833 was son of David Taylor, son of James Taylor of Spartanburg County,SC
David Taylor moved to Forsythe County, GA and son David S. Taylor was born there--father
and son returned in the 1850's to Greenville County, SC and
lived near Horse Pen creek, Simpsonville, SC They are on 1860 Census Rocky Creek, Greenville County, SC

Alfred Benjamin Taylor born 1855 Ga was son of Sexton Taylor
and wife Frances Jones Taylor. Sexton Taylor born Spartanburg County, a shoemaker, moved to Greenville County SC (census 1850) 1860 census shows Sexton Taylor and family in Cass (Bartow) County, GA. A. B. (Ben) Taylor and his
mother Fanny returned to SC - see census of 1900 Laurens County. I have been unable to find further records about
Sexton -- when and where he died, nor do I have records on his other children. I do have a extensive record of the descendants of Alfred Benjamin Taylor -
My speculation is that Sexton Taylor b. 1805 was a brother of David Taylor b. 1802 Both Sexton and David Taylor seem to have lived on Horse Pen Creek, -- though at different times, and Alfred Benjamin Taylor and David S. Taylor are both buried at Bethel Methodist Church Cemetery, Simpsonville, SC

The SC Room of the Greenville County Library holds some earlier issues -- is there a particular one that you're looking for? If you want to contact me off-list, I'll be happy to check our holdings for you.
