I would like to correspond, exchange data, and ideas with anyone interested or researching the Hanvey family (any and all branches). Especially, would like to exchange information on the ancestors or decendents of William Hanvey.WilliamHanvey was most likely born in County Down in the Kingdom of Ireland ca 1740, and was certainly the immigrant ancestor of the great Hanvey Family originating in the Colony of South Carolina. He and his wife, Sarah, whose maiden name is unknown, arrived with their young daughter, Jane, at Charles Towne in the Province of South Carolina on Thursday - 19 February 1767. Sarah was born ca 1741 and Jane was born ca 1764. William and his family were among a group of poor Irish Protestants who arrived on the ship, Earl of Hillsborough. The vessel had sailed from Belfast in the Kingdom of Ireland on 30 November 1766. William received a 250 acre Royal Land Grant in the Long Cane Section, near the Belfast Township of South Carolina and his decendents have spred to all parts of the county. I have over 6000 records and much reference data on individuals related to this line. I will gladly correspond with anyone interested in the Hanvey family.

Noble, James 1 1 3 0 11
All: M 16+, M 16-, F, Other, Slaves.
There is a division of opinion as to who this Isabel is and who her other family members are who are listed with her. By the names of those listed near her it appears that she lived in the midst of our Lower Long Cane (or Hopewell) Presbyterian Church congregation. It is my belief that a David in one of the branches of her McCleskey family married a Mary Hemphill (1750/1760 VA or NC - 1780/1810 Elbert Co., GA). Mary was the daughter of James Hemphill of the line known as the North Carolina Hemphills. The other Hemphill line at this same Long Cane location was the Hemphills whose widow Margaret Bates Clark Hemphill's Probate Notice was posted at the Hopewell Presbyterian Church in "what is known as the Calhoun Settlement on Long Cane and Little River". It was administered 6 Feb 1826 by William Hemphill, Alexander Houston and James Houston with $8,000 bond. As far as I know no one has found a link between these two Hemphill lines or my line. My line settled in Chester Co., SC in the 1790's and did not come to the Long Cane Section until 1837.

I'm trying to find out any available information on Ammanett Pinson, e.g. where he came from, when he was married, whether there were other children than my grandfather, or other older relatives identified. Here's what I have ...
This information is mostly from my father, Paul Harold Pinson, listed below.
Ammanett Pinson (b. Feb 21, 1842, d. Mar 1, 1907, source tombstone in Bethany, McCormick County, S.C.). Pop remembers Virginia discussed as his home, but nothing on the county or city, which would help my search.
Ammanett Pinson m. Laura Rosalie Lee (we have no information on Laura Rosalie Lee either). Information on Laura Rosalie Lee would help as well.
Children included Frank Maynard Pinson (b. Feb 8, 1881, d. Jan 1, 1966, source tombstone in Troy, McCormick County, S.C.) (we have no information on other children, if any).
Frank M. Pinson m. Martha ("Mattie") White (b. Aug 24, 1890, d. Dec 21, 1965 source tombstone in McCormick County, S.C. I have some additional information on Mattie White's brothers, sisters, and parents)
Children (all born in McCormick, S.C.) included:
* Florence Imagene Pinson (Bernard) (b. Nov. 3, 1910, d. Feb 15, 1979, Aiken, S.C.) * Henry LaVerne Pinson (b. Oct 30, 1916, d. July 31, 1937, hit by a car, McCormick, S.C.) * Frank Maynard Pinson, Jr. (b. Apr 29, 1914) living in Fountain Inn, SC * Eugene Lee Pinson (b. Mar. 30, 1920, d. Apr 1989, Myrtle Beach, S.C.) * Harriett ("Hattie") Pinson (Potter) (b. Jul 21, 1922) living in McCormick, S.C. I've seen at least one other Hattie Pinson somewhere on the web, but my aunt Hattie was named after her mother's mother Hattie Isabel Rakestraw (White) * Paul Harold Pinson (twin of Hattie) (b.

42.BOUCHILLON/MAJINETTE/GUILLEBEAU/ROQUEMORE
My ancestor line begins with Joseph Bouchillon and Marie Majinette, Andre Guillebeau and Mary Jane Sequin Roquemore who arrived at Charles Towne in 1764. Both Joseph and Andre fought in The American Revolution. You are probably aware of Andre due to the Historical marker that tells of his leaving France and why. It also states that the original homesite is about 1/4 mile from the sign and that his house built in 1770 is the oldest structure from the original Huguenot settlement of New Bordeaux.
Andre and Mary Jane's son Peter Guillebeau, Sr. was the father of Peter, Jr. I have always been stumped as to why I could not find a wife for Peter, Jr. Peter, Jr. never married because, at the time, he could not marry the woman who bore him four children. I do not know her name but, I do know the children's. She was Black and thank goodness her family were never slaves. Peter, Jr. evidently took very good care with their children. When he died, She inherited the Guillebeau house and the Brown's lived in it for several generations.
I mainly am interested in my Black cousins at this point because I know so little. I talk by phone to two of my Black cousins about every two months. Research has been tough as all Black or African Americans know only too well. My cousins came from England which at the time, as far as I can recall, was the only major nation that did not allow slavery. Mailto:UTHORN67@aol.com Posted May 12, 1999

He married there had 4 daughters, (no names) and one son Charles W. about
1802 from which I am decended. John moved to Hopkins Co. KY about 1807,
there sometime in the early to mid 1830's his wife died and he remarried
and had three more children. I have been unable to find three brothers
in the immigration records who came at that time. Anyone with information
