<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">In 1683 a few Scotch families were brought to Port Royal by Lord Cardross where they established a settlement. Those were the cruel days of Claverhouse in Scotland, and a scheme was entertained for bringing 10,000 sturdy Covenanters to Carolina. Claverhouse (near Dundee) was owned by John Graham, 1st Viscount Dundee. The scheme came to nothing. Cardross managed to encounter difficulties with the people at Charleston, and returned to Scotland in disgust. In 1686, in time of peace, a Spanish force pounced upon Port Royal and murdered some of the Scotchmen, while flogging others within an inch of their lives. The Spanish carried off what booty they could find and left the place a smoking ruin. As a result, the men of Charleston boarded two stout ships with 400 men to sail against St. Augustine, but the newly appointed Governor Colleton arrived upon the scene and forbade their sailing. His mandate was obeyed with growls and </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">curses, however, the governor was upheld by the lords proprietors.</span><br />

The reason is that ministers from Germany, Scotland and Irish were responsible for bringing congregations. Because those particular ministers concentrated on certain European districts to gather their flock and transport to America, the information will open doors of where to search next. </span><br />

County Records Offer the Genealogist the Most Hope!</h2>
<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">Tips by Jeannette Holland Austin</i><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><img alt="Genealogy Books by Jeannette Holland Austin" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/mybooks.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" width="30%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">After the census records are researched, the next stop is the county records. where your ancestors resided. It is all there, from the time that they purchased a home or land and recorded the deed, until the probate of the last will and testament and the tax digest revealed them delinquent for on taxes! One of the most interesting stories lies in the reading of the will and estate papers because it reveals the life and times of the decedent. If the court house burned, the next search is the court houses of surrounding counties. That is because families had transactions in other counties as well as relatives. All of the tidbits about each relative helps to form the puzzle. Note: Some of the earliest settlers in Dorchester County came from Dorchester, Massachusetts. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;"> </span><a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countydorchester.html" style="font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">. . . more . . .</a><br />

Dorchester County, South Carolina Genealogy</h1>
<img alt="Koger Plantation" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/dorchesterkogerplantation.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" title="Koger Plantation" width="99%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">Dorchester County was named for Dorchester, Massachusetts. In 1696 Congregationalists from that town removed south to establish a new settlement which they also called Dorchester. During the settlement of Georgia, when large land grants were being offered as inticements during the 1750's, this congregation removed to an area called Midway, halfway between Savannah and Darien, Georgia. They were led by Rev. Mr. Osgood. By the year 1788, the parish continued to be referred to as St. George Dorchester although the town was virtually abandoned. When the area officially became a county, it was formed from parts of Colleton and Berkeley counties and called Dorchester. The county seat is the town of St. George, which also took its name from the old parish. The town of Summerville was settled in the late eighteenth century as a summer resort for planters who wished to escape the malaria prevalent on their rice plantations; the town later became a winter resort also. Middleton Place Gardens, the remains of an old rice plantation, are the oldest landscaped gardens in the country, having been laid out in 1741. Middleton was a member of the Continental Congress, his son Arthur Middleton (1742-1787), a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and his grandson Henry Middleton (1770-1846), a governor, United States Congressman, and ambassador to Russia. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">Earliest settlers: Bacon, Osgood, Quarterman, Maxwell, Lee and others. <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countydorchester.html">. . . more . . .</a></span><br />

<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Tips by Jeannette Holland Austin</i><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><img alt="homeplace" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/homeplace.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 8px solid white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" width="50%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Finding one's past can be as simple as locating the old home place. It creates a special sort of memory, one which you did not have originally because it was before your time. This lovely old lake with geese is absent the old house. Yet, I still experience the feeling that "I am home." This is but one of the ways that searching for ancestors becomes real. You know that your families lived their generation building a homestead and a special sort happiness from having the family work together, oftentimes on old farms. The generations of the past paved the way for our freedoms and the great wave of technology which we are experiencing today and which assists us in finding them.

Elegant Funerals</h2>

Here are a few things which have been forgotten. People wore a plain funeral ring as well as a pair of white funeral gloves. Such items were mentioned in last wills and testaments and passed down to relatives. The time of mourning was one year, which all family members observed except the widow who might prefer black until she remarried. The remarriage was certain, however.

Hampton Plantation</h2>

The actual construction of the house was probably begun about 1735 for Noah Serre, an early pioneer to the area. In those days, the center portion of the house was built first, with wings added later on. In this instance it was Daniel Huger Horry, the son-in-law of Serre, who enlarged the six-room structure. He has a two-story ballroom on one end and large bedrooms and sitting rooms on the other end. After a visit of George Washington, the six-column portico and impediment was added. Open to the public, it is located 8 miles north of McClellanville, off routes 17 and 857. </span><br />

Our Hidden Past Lives on in the Records</h2>
<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Tips by Jeannette Holland Austin</i><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><img alt="diggin" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/diggin2.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" width="50%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Here you are living your life and one day a historian or genealogist comes along and digs deeply into the records, even obscure records, like deeds, wills, estates, old newspapers and church registers. The discovery might be something you thought history would forget. However, it is amazing how much personal data that we leave behind. And what the records do not provide, we can piece together with local histories and events. For example, do you know what drove your families into South Carolina and where did these immigrants hail from? A general answer is that they were Germans and Scotch-Irish immigrants who were seeking religious freedom, rich soil and a prosperous life. But there is more! Witnesses to documents, neighbors, church burials, census records and marriages provide a host of friends and the community life of your families.</span><br />

The Ship "Carolina" Survives Hurricanes and Reaches Charleston in 1669</h2>

They sailed the old sea road which took them first to Barbados. At was at Barbados that the Albemarle was caught in a storm, and wrecked. But there was more trouble ahead. As the other two ships, with a Barbados sloop, sailed on anal approached the Bahamas, the Port Royal was destroyed by another hurricane. The Carolina, however, pushed on with the sloop, reached Bermuda, and rested there. Then, with a small ship purchased in these islands, she turned west by south and came in March of 1670 to the good harbor of Port Royal, South Carolina. Southward, the Spaniards held old Florida where the town of St. Augustine had flourished since the 16th century. From this vantage, the Spanish could easily descend upon the English newcomers.

Many of those same people, once in Savannah, were lazy and no account. The exception were the Germans brought to Ebenezer, who suffered the same hardships, yet labored long hours in the fields and became an thriving community. By 1741, the lazy people ran off to Charleston, South Carolina. Many of these names may be found in the </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Colonial Records of Georgia by Candler.</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;"> The researcher must afterward research the Colonial Records of Charleston, all of which survived. The port city of Charleston thrived during the worst of times and its records disclose affidavits of court cases, deeds, estates, wills, etc. You get everything from the menial activities of mariners to the capture of pirates!

A Worthwhile Endeavor. The Search for Church Records and Monuments</h2>
<img alt="Jewish Cemetery in Charleston" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/jewishcemetery.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" width="50%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">Although typically church rolls were kept and maintained, listing members names, baptism dates, marriages and deaths, they were difficult to locate. Oh, If we had the church membership roll along with our own record of the tombstones! Even so, the genealogist should make an active attempt to locate specific church information. After perusing the neighborhood, a search of local libraries and State Archives is indicated. The reason is because some rolls were taken by individuals to the archives and microfilmed. Such a roll could be resting in a microfilm drawer somewhere. I have sometimes found old church membership rolls while visiting cemeteries and asking local people for information concerning the stewards of the church. Interestingly, there is an old church in Charleston whose cemetery has been declared unsafe. Since no one is allowed to enter the cemetery, the names and dates of all of the tombstones were placed on the wall inside the sanctuary. What I am saying is that a stroll around the neighborhood turns up interesting stuff. The preservation of data is precious to the generations which follow. Monuments and other structures provide important historical details. For this reason, we should pause to read the monuments surrounding court houses and other public structures. It will help us to better understand the conditions of the times wherein our ancestors resided. <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countyberkeley.html" target="_blank">...more...</a></span><br />

Captain Christian Huck Looted the Bratton House</h2>
<img alt="Brattonsville" height="146" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/brattonsville.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" width="200" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">The home of Colonel William Bratton, a local militia commander in the Revolutionary War, was built during the 1770s. On July 11 of 1780, Tory forces serving under Captain Christian Huck looted the Bratton house and threatened his wife. The Loyalist, encamped about a mile from the Bratton house, at the James Williamson plantation, was awakened at daybreak by Patriot troops whose commanders included Colonel Bratton. Captain Huck was killed during the battle. </span><br />

Good Reasons to Personally Examine Old Documents</h2>
<i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">Genealogy Tips by Jeannette Holland Austin</i><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" /><img alt="Genealogy Books by Jeannette Holland Austin" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/mybooks.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" width="30%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">People write some interesting stuff in their wills! Before we had the Internet, a convenient method of discovering the heirs was to read "abstracts" of wills, estates, deeds and marriages which were published in book. This tremendous undertaking by the authors of genealogy was insurmountable in brilliance. It saved the researcher a great deal of time. But now that we have access Internet to full documents on Georgia Pioneers. Reading the entire document is a boon to genealogists for a number of reasons. First and foremost, </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">the heirs are mentioned with the details of their specific inheritance, and relationship to the deceased.</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;"> Second, some of our previous assumptions taken from the abstracts can be </span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">clarified.</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;"> Third, we can discover new information. And fourth, all the details are included, some of which the abstracter did not include because it was not clearly discernible on the old microfilm equipment. _____________________________________________________________________________ </span><br />

The county seat is the town of Chesterfield, but the oldest town in the county is Cheraw, settled around 1748. The old Cheraw District attracted settlers to the Great Pee Dee River to establish farm communities. Welsh settlers from Pennsylvania and Delaware as well as the Scotch-Irish and English settled this region of the country. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;">Records Available to Members of </span><a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/" style="background-color: white; color: #000060; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 12px; text-decoration-line: none;">South Carolina Pioneers</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;"></span><br />

The Town of Ninety-Six</h2>
<img alt="stockade" height="200" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/sc96stockade.jpg" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" title="Stockade in Ninety Six" width="118" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">A trading post was established during 1730 named Ninety Six. It was named for the estimated ninety-six miles separating the site from the Cherokee trading post at Keowee at the end of the Cherokee Path. A town developed around this region in 1769 and was a Loyalist stronghold. The location is at the southeast of Ninety Six on Route 248. At the time, the fort was the strongest inland fort in South Carolina. The first battle of the American Revolution was fought here in 1775 and represented the longest siege of the Continental Army. During the summer of 1780, Major Patrick Ferguson mustered a force of some 4,000 Loyalists and built a stockade fence around Ninety Six. Loyalist Colonel John Harris Cruger was the commanding officer when General Nathanael Greene led 1,000 Patriots against the Loyalist stronghold for 28-days. Afterwards, the British abandoned this old fort of the back country. However, a good many little towns such as this developed around the skirmishes by the militia in South Carolina during the war when the British controlled Charleston and its port and the primary objective was to prevent the British from also seizing Augusta. <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countygreenwood.html" target="_blank">. . . more . . .</a></span><br />
