| BACKSTITCH |
Jeremiah Backstitch was born around March 1830 and died October
12, 1907. His second wife was the former Ada Mire Russell and they were married
during 1875. They had five children-Eliza, Henry, Jerry, Ashton and Sarah
Rebecca. I saw Ada Mire Backstitch in the 1910 and 1920 Census in Beaufort
County. In fact, Jeremiah created the name Backstitich, so anyone who has
that surname is a relative of mine. 15 Aug. 04 |

to two unpublished, undocumented sources. I am seeking verification of this.
BARTHOLOMEW BALL was the father of SAMPSON BALL who died in Beaufort District

| BALL |
SAMPSON BALL died in Beaufort District in 1815, the father
of 12 children. Their mother was presumably possibly with his third wife,
MARGARET SHIELDS LAURENS, a widow of MD whom he married somewhere in SC.
I am seeking the identities of the children as well as the place of his marrige
to Margaret. SAMPSON BALL married MARGARET SHIELDS LAURENS was said to have
been in Beaufort District after their marriage. His property lay in the portion
of Beaufort District that was cut off to form Hampton Co. Are there records
in your county for this couple? I am seeking the names of his children, other
pertinent information re him. Was the EDWARD BALL who died in
Beaufort/Hampton/Allendale in 1823 the son of SAMPSON BALL and MARGARET LAURENS?
Who were his siblings? Any help will be appreciated.

| BEALER |
Hello! I am interested in finding any information regarding any Bealers
in Beaufort County. I have some info from the early census in which Charles
Bealer was in the Grahamville area which is now Jasper Co. It showed him
with an astronomic number of slaves ~ 197! I have a copy of the eulogy preached
at the Euhaw Baptist Church in 1790 when he died. He was this Bealer-line's
original ancestor having come over from Prussia and being orphaned on the
voyage was taken in by a Mrs. Bull- don't know her first name (Stephen's
wife?) an area I hope to explore. I am particularly interested in William,
Charles' son, who fathered George- my husband's great grandfather. We have
the story pretty straight from George forward but the Wm. area is fuzzy.
He married a Henrietta Villard from the "Black Swamp" area. He is in an early
1800 census and then disappears- Did the yankees ruin all the records????

My husband's great-grandfather was Patterson Boon (or Boone). He was
born on May 29, 1840 in Orange County (now Alamance County), North Carolina.
He married Mary Catherine Rike on September 14, 1865. He served in North
Carolina Co. K 47th Reg. during the Civil War. Sometime during the 1870's,
he moved his family to Port Royal, Beaufort County, South Carolina where
he appears on the 1880 census. According to his wife's Bible which is in
their granddaughter's care in Augusta, Georgia, he died on July 18, 1890.
Also according to the Bible, their son-in-law--Lafayette Ervin Densler--died
on November 20, 1907 and was buried in the Baptist Churchyard in Beaufort.
We have been to the Baptist Church in Beaurfort. They do not have a record
of Patterson's burial or of his son's (Patterson, Jr. who died in 1883) or
of his daughter's (Cora G. Boone Rahney who died June 24, 1890). There are
two to three unmarked graves beside Mr. Densler in the cemetery which I suspect
are Patterson and family, but I have no proof. I have also been to the public
library in Beaufort where I found all but the newspaper for the week of
Patterson's death. Do you have any suggestions where else I could look to
find Patterson's grave and the newspaper article about his death? Appartenly,
he was a well-known person in the community by the way he is described in
his daugther's (Cora) obituary. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Am desperately seeking any info on the ancestors of both my
mother(Bright)(Johnson) and father(Black). I have localized them to Beaufort
sc, Jasper Co. sc, Levy sc,and Savannah in Chatham County Ga. The Johnson
surname is remured to be very strong in Estill SC. The oldest Ancestory
with surname Bright was Sam Bright born 25Dec1866 who was married
to Charlotte Bright(not sure of maiden name) born 20July1873died 19June1926
whose mother was Elsiey Gardner who died in 1912. Most of the bright childrens
info i have places them in Yemessee at one point in the1920s. The
Johnson surname is from my grandfather whose name is Case Johnson
born 26June1910 died 5May1991 in Savannah. According to the family his fathers
name was Deeds Johnson. I would love to have any more information i can find.
As for the Black(surname) Jarome Black is the oldest i have

I am looking for any information on My great-great-grandmother.
Her name was Martha Brownlee born in either 1897 or 1900 (conflicting
information,she died May 1946 in Altamonte Springs, Florida)her father name
was Wesl(t)ey Brownlee born in January 1876 place unknown I think it was
Hardeeville though. She married a man named Walter Milton in 1929 and had
three children by him 1) Wesl(t)ey Milton maybe born in 1914 in Hardeeville???
(Deceased???); 2) Authur Milton (still living; memory loss) born on May 2,
1916 in Hardeevilee??? he dropped out of school in the fourth grade and now
lives in Texas; 3)Rosa Lee Milton born on May 2, 1920 in Hardeeville, Died
in New Rochelle, New York, December 1966, Buried in Snowhill, Florida. I
just can't seem to find any Birth Records on them. I was able to find Martha
Brownlee in the Beaufort County, SC 1920 census with two children 1) Wesley
Brownlee 2)Joe Brownlee (which may have been Arthur), the children were the
same ages as my uncles would have been so I assumed that it was them. But
in 1920 it shows Martha as unmarried, and the third child Rosa Lee was just
born in May of 1920 which was after the 1920 Census was taken. The fourth
child was Bertina Guy, Born on July 2, 1927 or July 1, 1928(She died in Orlando,
Florida on August 28, 1958 giving birth and Buried in Snowhill, Florida).
Her father according to her birth record was Frank ! Guy a sawmill worker
from Pritchardville. The 1900 census shows that a Wesley Brownlee in Hardeeville
was married to a Rosa Bush??? which Rosa shows connection with a man named
George Bush and Henrietta (last name unknown). I was told that we were related
to the Bush Family so that's how I connected George Bush and assumed that
Rosa's (Wesley's wife) last name was Bush.

My husband and I are planning a trip through the Beaufort area to look

of Florida. According to the records I have, John Broxson died April
17, 1791 in the Charleston District. He left a will found in “Will Book
B 1786-1793” that left his wife Mary (Varn) and his children to land
“plantation” on the” south side of Saltcather in the Beaufort

7 Oct 1864, so this date must be incorrect). I even have an unofficial gravesite
at Millen (sec A, grave # 250). Was he buried at Millen first, then
re-intered at beaufort & if so, do you have the date he was moved? Are
any soldiers still buried at Millen? Is anyonewilling to take a gravestone
picture at Beauford National Cemetery (I have the section & grave number)
for a small fee? 5 Feb. 2001 |

Searching for information on Isaac Brunson b. 1808, Amos BRUNSON,
thomas BRUNSON, Benson BRINSON all members of Beedh Branch Baptist Church
c 1840. I am trying to find the first wife of Isaac
Brunson, b. 1808 in SC. They had a son Murry Lewis Brunson, b. 1844 and buried
in Brunson family Cemetery in Decatur Co, GA. Some researchers have suggested
that she might have been a daughter of William Hardin/Harden. I am thinking
that they m. c. 1839-1842. She is not buried in the Brunson Cemetery
so I am assuming that she did not come to GA. Isaac left the church in 1835
but returned in 1839. He was m to Jane Bryant in Dec. 1849 in Decatur Co,
GA and was well established by then. Would appreciate any leads as to the
parents of Isaac or the wife's maiden name. 18 Feb. 2001 |

| BUGBY |
Having recently come into some records concerning family property on
Wadmalaw Island, e.g. Bugby Plantation, I keyworded "Bugby" and the search
produced material compiled by you with a 1999 copyright. In particular, this
was a report from "Wm. Whaley Esq." concerning property losses during the
Civil War. This, in fact is what was given to my parents by Dr. Henry Rittenberg,
M.D., who came across it during his own research. We know there once
was a bridge from Johns Island to Wadmalaw that was known as Bugby Bridge.
The causeway still exists on our side of the Bohicket River. I remember being
told years ago of some sort of platform where goods were auctioned off near
the head of this causeway. The question most often asked - and for
which we have no answer - is where did the name "Bugby" originate? The
Sosnowski family first in habited Bugby after my grandfather's grandmother
inherited property there. Prior to that, our family had been ensconced on
Edisto Island. My grandfather (John Ferrars Sosnowski, Jr.) and his father
farmed the land they owned and adjoining land they leased known as Wilson
Bugby. When the owner (Wilson) advised that he was going to sell, they bought
it, bringing total ownership on that end of Wadmalaw Island to 3,000 acres.
We presently maintain about 2,000 acres of this. I would be very interested
in anything you could tell me about the origin of the name Bugby. By the
way, we have a framed 1801 map showing how the land was laid out, what was
grown where, etc. 23 Sept. 2003 |

Someone deposited a letterhead from this society in Birmingham Central
Library, England together with a copy of their constitution, dated 31 March
1964. I am a descendant of the BULL family who stayed this side the
pond and welcome any information with regard to this family. 23 March

| BYTHEWOOD |
I'm looking for information on Daniel Hingston Bythewood and
his wife, Elizabeth Taylor. They married 17 Apr 1792 in Charleston, and are
buried at the 1st Baptist Church, Beaufort. Their son, Benjamin Russell Bythewood
married Sarah Johnson Fickling whose family has a long Beaufort history.
I have some data indicating Sarah Fickling's line goes back to a John Johnson
and Rebecca Howard. Rebecca was previously married to Andrew Verdier and
their son, John Mark Verdier was, I believe a prominent Beaufort citizen.
Rebecca Howard was sent to Beaufort from The Dorchester, Mass colony about
1750, to teach. Andrew Verdier was a headmaster. I have three scrolls passed
to me by my mother which contain considerable data but few dates. The scrolls
were prepared by a Elizabeth Linah Bythwood, a daughter of Benjamin Russell
Bythewood, in the 1920's, when she was in her ninties. I have considerable
data from the scrolls that may be of value to interested parties. Much of
the famlies history is tied to Beaufort till about 1900.
