I have a copy of "Edgefield County, SC Records" compiled by Janie Revill, published 1984. Will do lookups. This book covers time frame of late 1780s through 1840s (some 1850 listings)

I have a copy of the will of George Martin of Edgefield, SC. He was my GGGG grandfather. He supposedly died and the will was probated around 1818 (I believe it was actually 1808 with a "skinny" "0"). The will is a typed copy and the information at the end of the will says: Original will not in files of Probate Judge.

He was married to Alice (Aly)Freeman. He was the son of Abram and Elizabeth Smith Marshall Martin.

My question is WHERE IS THE ORIGINAL WILL? There is a hand written family history and an oral history of his being in our family, however, DAR will not recognize it because his will was probated after his son (my GGG grandfather) died and names him (my GGG grandfather) as an heir.

Now if the will is incorrect and I cannot see the original, are there other records which would state WHEN George Martin died?

Three listings reference George Martin's will 1817 - no listing for actual will though.

Could you look to see if there is anything on a Nathan Wilson born 1832, or Henrietta Quail Wilson born 1840. I am trying to find there parents. It has been said that they owned land in Columbia. Ft Jackson is sitting on what use to be there land.

I'm sorry, but there were no listings for either of these names.

Thank You anyway for your time. I will keep looking. Have a great weekend.

I am looking for John Martin, son of George Martin, born about 1783. I would like to know who he (John) married and when. DAR said my inforamtion is incorrect. All I have is a typed copy of George Martin's will, dated 1812 and I have been told that there is no original on file (WHERE COULD THIS BE?). Anyway, I need to know whether or not MY John Martin is the son of George Martin. Thank you so much.

The book does not have listing for children of George Martin.

Have you searched SC archives online? There is a will for George Martin (MSS Book A page 394 original not on file):
