SECOND GENERATION

6. Samuel WALDROP I was born about 1766 in Newberry Co., S.C.. He died on 23 Nov 1799 in Newberry Co., S.C.. [Note: Jan Dawson 1998 --- The land of James Waldrop, son of Luke, bordered on that of the Griffins and Davenports, and these people were constantly named in the same estate papers as witnesses, relatives, purchasers, etc. It appears that they were a close group, so it is not surprising that Samuel SR. married women from both families. The Newberry Co., SC. land of Samuel Waldrop was on Mudlick Creek near the Laurens Co., line per Deed D2-83, dated 26 May 1797. Mudlick Creek runs from a few miles inside Laurens Co., SC. across the border into Newberry Co. Therefore some of these families lived in Newberry and some in Laurens. Samuel Waldrop's administrator of his estate was RICHARD HENDERSON WALDROP, who relinquished his rights because of "infirmities." On 29 Oct 1799, administration was granted to Robert WORKMAN. Jonathan Davenport asked to be released as security for Robert Workman because he did not consider him capable of administering the estate. It appears he was right becasue on 2 Dec 1811, letters were granted to Bryant Leek for administration of the estate of Samuel Waldrop, SR. Bryant Leek made returns in 1812 and 1817 for payments to Robert Workman, husband of Samuel's daughter Patsy Waldrop. 1821, payment was made in full to Samuel's son , Samuel Waldrop JR., for $268.75]
