James Wiley Bailey, Jr. neworleans59@hotmail.com	BAILEY James W. BAILEY, Jr., 3216 W. Esplanade Ave, #276, Metairie, LA 70002, phone: 504-669-8650, is researching the BAILEY family of Choctaw County, Mississippi who migrated from South Carolina. Mr. Bailey is searching for all information about EDWARD BAILEY, JOSEPH D. BAILEY, URIAH BAILEY, JOHN BAILEY, JAMES BAILEY and WILLIAM BAILEY, all of whom moved in the early 1830's from the Laurens County Abbeville County area to Lowndes County, Mississippi. Mr. Bailey's father is James W. BAILEY, the son of Luther E. BAILEY, born 30 June 1907 and died 31 December 1987. Luther was married to Mary Lou SHEPPEARD born 16 September 1911 and died 25 March 1989. Both are buried at Reed's Chapel in Webster County. Mr. Bailey's great grandfather was James E. BAILEY born 12 August 1878 and died 11 February 1959. James was married to Florence AINSWORTH was born 27 January 1881 and died 13 September 1951. They are also buried at Reed's Chapel. Mr. Bailey's great-great grandfather was John R. BAILEY, born 22 April 1843 and died 15 July 1890. John's wife was Mary Elizabeth INGE born 14 December 1842 and died 22 March 1892. They are buried at Sarepta Primitive Baptist Cemetery in Montgomery County. The father of John R. BAILEY was William R. BAILEY, born 20 September 1810 and died 15 May 1876 and was married to Celia L. E. C. PEEBLES who was born 28 May 1821 and died 1 February 1892. William and Celia are buried in the Old Peebles Family Cemetery in Webster County. Also buried in this cemetery is Alpha PEEBLES, one of the early settlers of Choctaw County. Mr. Bailey said that he has an extensive collection of black and white photographs of many of the headstones from the Old Peebles Family Cemetery that were taken at a cemetery cleaning that took place in 1983. It is thought that William R. BAILEY was born in Abbeville County or Lauren County, SC. Mr. Bailey tends to believe that the father of William was Edward BAILEY, who appears with William R. BAILEY on the 1840 Choctaw County Census. He has detailed census, marriage and death records regarding the BAILEY line. Mr. Bailey is also extremely interested in acquiring copies of any documents, pictures, war records or any information whatsoever regarding the 30th Mississippi Infantry Company C, Choctaw Planters, that his great-great grandfather, John R. BAILEY, served in. He will pay for any copying expenses incurred and will share all information that he has collected on the BAILEY line. Mr. Bailey states that anyone with information may call him at the number given at the beginning of the query, leave a brief message on his voice mail, and he will gladly call you back at his expense.

John Peterson Pass Christian, MS johngpeterson@earthlink.net	Peterson Seeking info on origins / family of MARY PETERSON, apparently same person as POLLY PETERSON, widow of Son of WILLIAM PETERSON who was in Laurens County, SC according to 1800 census. Further details follow: I am a descendant of John Peterson, b. 6/20/1801 in SC son of Mary Peterson born about 1775, apparently in SC. Mary Peterson obtained land patents in Alabama as follows: 3/3/1827 obtained land patent in Greene County. 5/15/1827 obtained second land patent for 78 acres in same area and a third patent for 80 acres fifteen days later. The third patent says Mary is "of Perry County." By plotting her property on a map it would appear that her proberty straddled the line between Greene and Perry Counties in an area which became Hale County in 1865. Mary had a daughter also: Deborah b. about 1800 in SC. Married Ransome Day in SC and moved to Greene County about 1828/1829. Ransome bought 78.8 acres of land in Greene Co from US government on 5/15/1837. Children of Deborah Peterson and Ransome Day were Mary, Conrad, Nancy, Daniel, Nathaniel, Elizy Jane, and Sephronia. Other children of Mary Peterson were: WILLIAM NEAL, ELIZY JANE, AND NANCY. I am seeking information on the origins/ family of Mary Peterson, maybe known as "Polly", apparently a widow of a son (name unknown) of William Peterson of Laurens County SC in the 1800 census. I have additional "downstream" information on this line of Petersons, and will share same. July 29, 2000

George M. Pope Murfreesboro , TN gmpope@bellsouth.net	MORGAN /MILLINGTON or MIDDLETON Trying to locate Morgan ancestors in SC. 1850 census for Henry Co. GA shows M. Morgan, age 45 born in South Carolina. Our family thinks this was Millington Morgan,but I have found no Millingtons in SC in that time period. M. Morgan would have been born in 1805 according to his age in the 1850 census. At the LDS Family History Room in their IGI file I found a Thomas Morgan b. in Laurens Co. in 1805, parents Henry Morgan and Mary Hopkins Morgan - also a William Morgan b. June, 1799 to the same parents. Thomas and William are names which appear in our Morgan family often, though Henry does not. Could Henry Morgan and his son Thomas be ancestors of the Morgans in Henry Co. and Fayette Co. Georgia? Is there some family connection of the Middletons and Morgans in early 1800s? Or, was there a Millington family which would have been connected? Any help anyone cangive me will surely be appreciated! Thanks -- George Pope July 30, 2000

Barbara Craddock Pike Manvel, TX barbdale@flash.net	CRADDOCK / ELMORE / SAXON I am looking for information on the ancestors and possible siblings of Thomas Elmore Craddock, b. 1781 in VA or SC. I have recently gotten information from a new found cousin, that she had found information that Edmund (Edward) Craddock and Ann Elmore had had a son Thomas in VA in 1781. From what she had found quite a while ago, it looks like an Edmund Craddock was in Laurens Co in 1810 when mentioned in a land deed. She also found that in 1804, an Edward Craddock and John A. Elmore were purchasers of an estate of a Mr. Berry in 1804. It looks like a Hugh Saxon and John Saxon appraised the estate of Edmund Craddock on Dec 30, 1826. By 1835, his widow had married a Mr. Saxon (I believe she found this information from a deed in Warren Co., KY, and couldn't tell from her notes whether the widow was in Laurens in 1835, or if the late Edmund Craddock was from Laurens Co.) She has one more note that Edmund Craddock managed the Mill Farm in Mecklenburg Co., VA in 1780.! If any of these names sound familiar, I would sure appreciate hearing from you!

T.W. Davis Oceanside, CA twd@nctimes.net	STONE / HENDER John Stone and Susannah Henderson were married in Union County, S. C. in 1802. Given the Henderson and Stone families in Lauren County at the time it's likely their families were of Lauren County. By 1806 John and Susannah were in Claiborne County, Tennessee with Reuben and Thomas Stone, presumably brothers, or perhaps father and two sons: John and Thomas. Each of the latter named a son Reuben, Thomas and John, with Thomas also naming a son Silas. Does anyone know of Stone/Henderson families in Lauren County which would be a likely link. From other information it appears that there may have been a connection with a Lynch family as well. Any related information would be very welcome. SON October 4, 2000

W. Chris Jones Roswell, GA chrisjon@verizon.net	JONES, ANDERSON, BURNSIDE, FOUNTAIN, GRIFFIN, Does anyone have any information on the Edward Jones family of Laurens, SC between 1790-1804. Edward died abt. 1804. Edward's estate sold March 10, 1804. Listed as purchasers were: Elizabeth, Betsy, Joseph, Edward, Sarah, John and Gabriel Jones and John and William Burnside, Adi Griffin. There was later a will of Elizabeth Jones, ded Edward (probably the one above) and lists John Jones, executor. Sons: Gabriel, James, Josiah, Daughters Frances Ward, Mary Burnside, Nancy Burnside. Other children were: Edward, John, Thomas, Elizabeth, Sarah, Margaret and Lucy Jones. From Laurens County, South Carolina Wills 1784-1840 by Colleen Elliott P.2, Will of David Logan-96th District dated July 5, 1789, Sale of estate dated August 18, 1790 names Gabriel Jones This may be be the Jones Brothers listed in Wilkinson County, GA's 1820 census. For John Lawrence Jones who m. Lucy Taliaferro in 1797 in Surry NC, the number of children would be correct since a daughter Francis died young and would account for the missing female. We know that John Lawrence Jones had a brother Thomas per his Will which could account for the other elder male in the home. Assuming that John Gabriel Jones, who later moved to Wilkinson and m. Nancy Bloodworth and later Mariah Carr, is one of the children in the above homes that would leave us Joseph Jones, William Jones or Josiah Jones. John Gabriel Jones would have been 19 at the time of this census. Interesting that Israel Fountain and Frederick Dominer and John Dominer are living close to William Jones (the younger). The Fountains and Dominys also ended up in Wilkinson County, GA for the 1820 census. Also of interest is will of Philip Anderson and wife Elizabeth.. Sons : Allen Rueben, Lewis, Daus: Elizabeth, Ann Davis, Lucy Davis. Exr: Son Allen and friend Joseph Jones, Moses Whitten. Dated March 27, 1814. Purchasers in estate of Philip Anderson include John and Lewis Jones (P. 487). Any help on these SC Jones would be appreciated. Thanks! November 15, 2000

Maggie Ponds Omaha, NE mponds@uswest.net	PONDS / BOOZER / DAVIS I am trying to find information in Laurens County about my great-great grandfather's famil. My great-great grandparents were Michael (1830) and Francis (1843). Their children were Alice (b. 1861) who married Richard B. Boozer George (b. 1865) Bascom (Also known as John Bascom and "Backy"), born April 1, 1868 Lizzie (b. 1870) Thomas (b. December 14, 1873) Mary (b. 1875) Estelle (b. 1877), and Cromwell (b. 1879). Bascom married Ida Armstead who was born in Tennessee. Bascom was by great-grandfather. The family appeared in the 1880 census of Lexington County but were not there in 1870. So many people in the community that came from Larens County, SC in the Exodus of the lage 1800s, I thought perhaps they originally from Laurens County before moving to Lexington County and then I surmised (which is most likely wrong) that the family stopped over in Tennessee prior to moving to Arkansas. James and Francis don't show up in Arkansas. Only ones to show up there were Alice,! John Bascom, and George. Thomas and Crowell worked for the railroad. Thomas moved to Conta Costra County (Richmond) California where he bought land and lived there until he died November 1, 1948.

Norma Stevenson St. Clair, MO angreenhouse@prodigy.net	ATKINS / HOWELL I'm researching the Atkins family. I have learned they were in Laurens Co. at least, by 1792. I found a query from Maida Whitten asking about Benjamin Atkins-Rhoda Howell. I tried to send her an email, but it wouldn't go through. If you're still interested, Maida, I have data on Anderson Taylor Atkins, youngest son of Benjamin. Also some on B.A.'s parents and siblings. Contact me. Norma Stevenson December 1, 2000*
