Finklea genealogy search

I am trying to trace Elijah Finklea born around 1854, I believe, in South Carolina. The 1880 census Cain's Township ,Marion County, S.C., showed him being age 25 and evidently living with a cousin, William E. Finklea age 40 and his wife, Harriet age 44. According to 1880 census William E. and Harriet had a son Evander, age 22/ a son John B. age 20/a daughter Sallie age 10/a son Louis M. age 12. I have found nothing yet about Elijah's mother and father. If anyone has any more information on this family please advise. Elijah was my maternal grandfather. Thanks

Kings in Early S.C.

edwinking1 — 3 May 2008 3:28:47 GMT

Am descended from the James King who is enumerated on the 1790 Edgefield census. An Elizabeth King is separately enumerated also. A James King is listed in, "Register Book,for the Parish of Prince Frederick Winyaw", spouse, Elizabeth Townsend, married 19 Oct.,1745, died 1752. Also have heard that a James King came to/thru Charleston in early 1700s as servant to an priest. Is there anyone out there who can shed light on all these Kings? Is there a connection between the James and Elizabeth on the 1790 Edgefield census? Are any of the mentioned James Kings connected to the James on the 1790 census? Also, the 1790 census shows that James King's household included two males under age 16.My ancestor was not born until 1792, thus he seems to have had two older brothers, but who were they?Are there younger siblings as well? Can you add light to this dark mystery? Thanks much...Ed King edwining@webtv.net

etblount — 10 Dec 2007 7:59:22 GMT

Looking for information about the town of Ferguson, SC, on the Santee River, now submerged under Lake Marion. The town was named for a Ferguson family who lived there.

There was a cypress lumber company there, one of the biggest lumber companies in the US at the time. Would love a map or sketch of the town, or photos, or information about the family. This is not my family; just interested.

Thomas Jefferson Brunson

mholcomb — 29 Oct 2002 5:11:13 GMT

I had to take a prolonged leave from my search from family, life kept getting in the way. Now I am back on track and still searching for the parentage of my ggrandfather, Thomas Jefferson Brunson, b. 10/30/1841 d. 1913. I believe he went by the name of Jeff. He was married twice, 1st to Elsie Williams Riley, daughter of Miles Absent Riley and Elizabeth Wooten, 2nd to Adeline Rebecca Thames, daughter of Franklin White Thames and Mary Jane Clifton. To the best of my knowledge, he spent most of his life in the old Beaufort District, in the vicinity of Crockettville. He is buried in the cemetery at Beech Branch Baptist Church in present day Allendale County. The names of his children (& places they lived) are; Charles "Curtis" (SC), James Benjamin ( Fairfax, SC), Luther Franklin (SC & GA), Helen Louise "Lee" (SC & FL), Walter White (SC & FL), and Mary Ivy "Mamie" (SC & FL). If you have any information on any of these families, my e-mail has changed to 1mholcomb@comcast.net. I have quite a bit of information on descendents and will be happy to share.

Pleasant (Plesent) Webb

Larry Loiselle — 2 Jun 2003 4:17:49 GMT

I am seeking any additional information that you can provide about the parents/siblings of Pleasant Webb. Thanks a million.
============================================
Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB was born about ca 1760-1765. His son, Elias, said that his father, Pleasant was born in Ireland (not substantiated). He may have come into the country via South Carolina. He died between 1830 and 1840 in Ohio, USA. Around 1800 Pleasant and family came in to the Ohio valley from Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1803 (reported to be 45 years old) he was at the Licks in Scioto County, Ohio. Pleasant was in GreenupCounty, Kentucky in 1820 and in Lawrence County, Ohio in 1830. He did not appear in the 1840 census, so it is believed he died between 1830-1840. Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB and Unknown had the following children: James WEBB (1786), Elias WEBB (1788), Thomas Hanley WEBB (1795), Aden WEBB (1797), Temperance WEBB (1799), William WEBB (1801), Margaret WEBB (1806), Sarah (Sally) WEBB (1809), and Baker WEBB (1811).

Joseph Thomas

LaurieMartineau — 6 Mar 2003 3:59:53 GMT

I am trying to reach back beyond 1830 or so to see if I can track the marriage of a Joseph Thomas to a Susannah UNKNOWN. He was born about 1798 in SC and she about 1802 in SC. I have some oral history that indicated that they were from Edgefield District but my search finds no evidence of their marriage so far. They both moved to Georgia and had their children there. I am not sure yet if they married in SC or in Georgia but thought I would check both. I am at the brick wall that we all reach so any thing found would be so wonderful. Thank you in advance to all you volunteers!

Matthew RUSSELL and Jane McINTIRE

Beverly Shuler — 5 Nov 2001 3:39:39 GMT

Hi cousins out there. Matthew was in Lancaster Co., PA, about the time son Thomas was born. He then seems to have moved to N.C. where he strongly defended the Indians (if same Matthew.) Then on to around Chester then Union Co.
He then moved over to Pendleton Dist. I thinkn he may have lived near Generostee Creek in Anderson, or near Abbeville.
Thomas Russell went to ALabama where there is a county named for the family, Russell Co. A lady from there sold me a picture of Thomas and one of his wife, a very chubby wife. Not sure that's who they actually are, for how would a backwoodsman like Thomas know photography had been invented? Thomas lived in Pendleton, SC. My ggf was William Walker Russell. My gmother was Daisy Russell.
