HABBERSHAW	After purchasing the 1880 US census on CD, I came across 4 families in Beaufort County, they are all Black I am assuming they were all slaves at some point and I am trying to trace who their last owner would have been. How can I do this? The name Habbershaw is essentially an English one and I have managed to trace all US occurring instances back to England but these people were a surprise to me. G.

HALEY	Thank you for co-ordinating the Beaufort County data. Could you direct me to someone who would have access to a list of Union Civil War prisoners who were buried in the Beaufort National Cemetery in Beaufort, SC. I am searching for an ancestor who survived Andersonville and was taken to Millen, GA as a prisoner. He is recorded as having died in Millen while a prisoner. As far as my research has taken me, all the soldiers buried in Millen, GA were disenttered after the war and placed in the Beaufort National Cemetery. I would assume that there was a mass burial but I thought there may have been a general list of names for Civil War Soldiers that were buried there. Is there anyone you ould direct me to that ould obtain that kind of information? 23 March 2005	Frank Haley

HARDIN HARDEN	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.

I'm looking for information to authenticate that Francis the elder was his father and that he was a rear admiral in the British navy. Trying to connect him back to merry old England.  26 May 2006	Doug Simmons
HOPKINS	I am coming to the coastal area of GA this weekend and could come up to Beaufort on Sunday if there would be opportunity to research an ancestor  with whom I'm at a dead end. His name if Francis Hopkins and the story is that he was an admiral in the British Navy under Sir Peter Parker. Also, he is supposed to have been born in England, died in 1780 and been buried in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, West Indies. He was a person of some means as the family did have a plantation on the May River near Bluffton.  Francis (d.1780) Sr. married Mary Martinangel, daughter of Peter Martinangel of Daufusky Island. Peter was supposed to have been killed by the "Bloody Legion" and this fits as Daufusky was reputed to be a Tory location. They had a son Francis Jr. (b.1772) who married Rebecca Sayre.  After his father's death, Francis Jr. and Rebecca lived with Francis Sr' widow Mary at the May River plantation. In 1804 a terrible storm wiped out much of their property and they moved to McIntosh County, GA which that branch of my family still considers it's ancestral home.  I am seeking information about Francis Sr. When and where was he born?   Who were his parents?   Did he have other children?  Verification of what we think we know of him.  I've searched the British web site to no avail.  If there's someway to research this on Sunday, I'd gladly make the detour up there.  July 2006	Doug Simmons

HOWARD	I am searching for the family of a soldier who was killed in the Korea War. When he entered service they gave Beauford County, SC as his home of record.   Soldier:Soloman Carl Howard, Born: March 3, 1929. Black, Unit: Company "C", 23 Inf Reg, 40th Inf Division.  Date of loss: Missing in action in North Korea, declared dead.  When he entered service he gave Beauford County, SC as his official home of record.  When the Korean War ended the enemy never returned or accounted for over 8,000 of our servicemen. They died in their hands. That was over 50 years ago. Since that time DNA has been perfected and also they are recovering remains in North Korea. Our government is obligated to return those remains to the proper family. DNA samples have been obtained from most of the families of these missing soldiers. For various reasons some families have not been located. There are 51 families in South Carolina that have not been located. There is one family from Beauford County that have not been located.  When the remains are recovered and identified they will be returned to the family for proper burial. I am just an old (76 years) Combat Veteran out of the Korean War and thankful that I did return. I consider this a very noble cause and I hope that you can help in some way to find this family. For more information on the project you may go to http://www.jpac.pacom.mil/. My part in the program is to match up the lost families with the proper agency.   I will be grateful for any assistance in locating this family.   July 2006	Harold Davis 40th Infantry DivisionKorea ’52-‘53 910-791-2333
