TAYLOR |
Col. Thomas Taylor (1743-1832) has been
called the "patriarch of Columbia" since his plantation became the location
of the new state capital. I am researching Col. Tom's descendants and need
help tracing some of his lines. We are descended from Col. Tom's son, John,
but some of the other lines are very sketchy. Any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for anyone who is related
to SIMONE HALL or EFFIE THOMAS-HALL. They both were born in the 1800's. The
only thing I know for now is the My great-grandmother Effie, died in the
early 1970's. She, at the time resided at 2431 Park Street in Columbia, SC
with her daughter Hattie Morgan. I know that our family attended Zion Hopewell
Baptist Church in Gilbert, SC. So, I think that they must have lived in that
area. If you anyone has any information, please contact me.

THORNTON |
I am looking for more information on
a Thorogood (or Thoroughgood) THORNTON, born about 1831, who married a Katherine
Mack. Thorogood is shown in census data for Richland Co. for a number of
years (1830, -40, -50,..) which appear to confirm his father was also named
Thorogood THORNTON. It seems possible that Thorogood (Sr.) was son of a Phineas
THORNTON but this is a guess at this point. Appreciate any leads others can
provide. I also have no detail on ancestors of wife Katherine Mack.

I have been told there could be a Masonic
Lodge Archives on the corner of Senate & Marion Streets in Columbia.
If this is true then could someone tell me their hours of operation &
do they allow the public to come look at their old records. If there is not
a Masonic Lodge Archives at this location then is there such an establishment
in Richland County. My home address is 300 Moores Lake Road Wadesboro,NC

several children and later moved to Pike Co. AL,then Sumter Co. AL. He was

WAGES |
Seeking data on Dawson/Dorson WAGES
and family-3 sons, Dawson, William, and Jacob. He made his will in Richland
Co, SC in 1821- He mentions his wife. They appear to have come from Rowan
Co, NC, then into Richland, Chester, Fairfield Co's of SC and track back
to Carroll Co, MD. Dawson/Dorson owned a tremendous amount of land in Richland
Co, (have all the land plats) and by the 1840s-50s, a long line of heirs
were fighting over it. Related names: Chesley BOATWRIGHT; Samuel DENT; DUNCANs
- one of them was Rebecca WAGES, married BOATWRIGHT, then married a WAGES-or
we have 3 different Rebecca's....sigh..... Unless they tie into the SHELBYs,
I have no connections to the WAGES. They are a complicated, fascinating family,
that goes right into the burning of the Jackson Co, MS Courthouse, by the
COPELAND-WAGES gang.
