The Hull Memorial Service is still on after much disappointment from the VA dept. We've had to come up with our own funds for the memorial stone. Now we are getting picture hopefullly put on memorial with some more donations. Rivers Bridge Camp #842 of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans has agreed to do the ceremony when we get the stone. They will perform with reenactors. So I'm looking for any descendants that might read this to get in touch with me with your address so you don't miss out. It will be a grand memorial with guitar and banjo players with songs and a descendant who is a retired minister leading the service. We can hardly wait.

Hull Memorial Service Update: The date of civil war memorial service of Samuel Hull has been set for Oct. 8th, 2005. Please email me if you are descendant with your address so no one is left out.

Thank You

BRUNSON FAMILY GENEALOGY RESEARCH GATHERING, MAY 22, 2004, BRUNSON BAPTIST CHURCH, BRUNSON, SC

(new directions below)

The May 22 date is set for the Brunson genealogy gathering, and thanks to Caroline Krueger, we now have a location! The social hall at the Brunson Baptist Church is reserved from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on May 22, so if you're interested in learning about Brunson family genealogy and/or have done some work along those lines and have something to share, please make plans to be there! Also, please remember to bring any materials you have or any information you'd like to share!

I doubt very seriously that I'm going to be able to be there myself, so if you're planning to be there, please either email Caroline at ckrueger@comporium.net or call Mary Ann Sowell at 803-943-2528 or my mother, Mary Emily Pow, at 843-871-4174. (Also contact them if you need directions.) Meanwhile, please pass this info along to others in your family who might be interested!

If you're receiving this in the mail, it means I do not have an email address for you! If you do have email, it would help me a lot to have your email address so I can get information like this to you much faster. Please, if you have email, or if you have plans to do so in the future, please email me at PaulaDec63@aol.com so I can add you to my list! Thanks!

Paula Pow, (daughter of Mary Emily Webb Pow, grand-daughter of Tinye Brunson Webb, great-granddaughter of Thaddeus Walter Brunson, great-great-granddaughter of William Edgar Brunson)

Secretary for the William Edgar Brunson Family Reunion

Hi, everybody,

I got this email a few days ago from Caroline Krueger, who has worked hard to get us a place for our genealogy gathering on May 22:  "Paula, I saw the pastor of the BBC at a meeting in Anderson this week end, and he gave me highway #, street names, etc. so that I can now, I think, give directions to the church so that they can be followed easily. You may want to email them to everyone (or those who respond that they are coming). My daughter Lori and I will try to arrive in Brunson a little before 9 A.M. to be sure social hall is unlocked and set up for the workshop. As soon as you have an approximate #, let me now, please.  Directions to Brunson Baptist Church Social Hall - Driving south on Highway 278, in the middle of town, turn right at the flashing caution light (the only one) onto Manker Street, go one block and see church on left. Turn onto street immediately past the church. Social hall opens onto this street.  Park on either side of the street."  So, as Caroline has instructed, if you plan to be there on May 22, please let me know so I can give her a count of how many people to look for! Hope you all have a great time and get a lot done; I wish I could be there!  Paula

Hi, everybody,  Mark your calendars! I talked with Mary Ann Sowell and my mother tonight, and it looks like the May 22 date for our Brunson research gathering is going to work best for most people. The location is still to be determined, but it will be somewhere in or around the Brunson area. We'd like EVERYBODY who is interested in doing Brunson genealogy research to come!!! Even if you haven't done any such work before but want to learn, please come! And if you have been doing some research, please any materials you already have with you that day.  Please let Mary Ann, myself, or my mother know as soon as you're able if you're planning to come that day, because we'll need to know approximately how many people to expect so we can be sure we have a large enough place to accomodate everybody.  To let us know if you're coming, you can: EMAIL me (Paula Pow) at PaulaDec63@aol.com (or just reply to this email) CALL me at 615-226-9971 WRITE TO me at 1212 McChesney Ave., Nashville, TN 37216 CALL my mother (Mary Emily Pow) at 843-871-4174 WRITE TO my mother (Mary Emily Pow) at 104 Dogwood Circle, Summerville, SC 29485 CALL or WRITE TO Mary Ann Sowell, phone 803-943-2528, address 904 Third St. West, Hampton, SC 29924

Thomas Oregon Lawton, Upper St Peter's Parish & Environs.   In it he refers to tax records for several years about 1825, post Revolutionary plats, deeds dated 1804, and I believe a Judgement Roll for Hampton County.   Upper St. Peter's Parish & Environs, by Thomas Oregon Lawton,Jr., 2001, "Copies available from Thomas O. Lawton, Jr., P.O. Box 68, Garnett, SC 29922."   It contains these chapters:  Local Communities, Lawton Family, Robert Family, Thomson Family, Twentieth Century, and Appendices: Primary Sources. The latter includes (1824 tax returns, St. Peter's Parish) and slaves owned by several of the Lawtons.
