Those were the cruel days of&nbsp;Claverhouse&nbsp;in Scotland, and a scheme was entertained for bringing 10,000 sturdy&nbsp;Covenanters&nbsp;to Carolina.&nbsp;Claverhouse&nbsp;(near Dundee) was owned by John Graham, 1st Viscount Dundee. The scheme came to nothing.&nbsp;Cardross&nbsp;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&nbsp;Colleton&nbsp;arrived upon the scene and forbade their sailing.

From 1791 to 1800 it was part of Pinckney District, but became a separate district at the dissolution of Pinckney in 1800. In 1897, part of the county was divided to become Cherokee County. It was named for York County, Pennsylvania. This region is known for the Catawba Indians and the famous Battle of Kings Mountain. The Catawbas signed a treaty with the English in 1763 relinquishing their rights to lands and thus ultimately reducing the size of their reservation. This treaty opened up the area to Scotch-Irish pioneers who were removing down from Pennsylvania. During the American Revolution, the battle of Williamson's Plantation was fought on July 12, 1780 and the battle of Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The famous mountain victory helped to turn the tide of events for the Americans. Early settlers: John Martin, Colonel William Bratton (1742-1815), Nathaniel Henderson, Walter Thompson, William Edmondson, Elijah Browne, Samuel Watson, John Moffett, Joseph Turnbull.&nbsp;</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;">Transcripts of York County Wills are Available to Members of&nbsp;</span><a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.com/" style="background-color: white; color: blue; 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;">&nbsp;</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;" /><br /> <h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> Land</h2> <ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;"> <li style="font-size: small; list-style-type: none;">York County Land Warrants 1807-1816</li> </ul> <h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> Transcripts of York County Wills 1816 to 1839</h2> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;">|Adams, Francis |Adams, Margaret |Alexander, Hester |Alexander, Herman |Allison, Albert |Allison, Robert |Anderson, Ann |Ardry, William |Armstrong, Arthur |Armstrong, James |Armstrong, Mary |Armstrong, Robert |Barnes, John |Barnhill, John |Barnett, Thomas (2) |Barnette, Richard |Barron, John |Barron, Thomas |Barry, Jane |Barry, John Sr. |Barry, Roger |Barry, Samuel |Bartlett, Daniel |Bates, John |Bates, Robert |Baxter, Mary |Baxter, William |Beamgarde, Godfrey |Beard, Jane |Benson, Jacob |Bigger, Moses |Bigger, William |Black, John |Black, Robert |Blair, Samuel |Blaylock, Jeremiah |Boggs, Aron |Boyd, Joseph |Boyd, Thomas Sr. |Bozewell, Robert |Bradley, Ellfyday |Bradley, Samuel |Bratton, Martha |Bridges, Thomas |Brown, Joseph |Brown, Robert |Brumfield, Elizabeth |Bryan, James |Buchanan, Samuel |Camp, William |Campbell, Elizabeth&nbsp;</span><br /> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 13.3333px;"><a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countyyork.html">...more....</a></span><br /> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-24131512675193267362019-12-25T13:44:00.000-05:002019-12-25T13:44:00.130-05:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> Waccamaw River</h2> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">The beautiful Waccamaw River flows across Horry County from its northern boundary of North Carolina to its southern boundary at Georgetown County.

His nearest neighbor at the time was Jacob Pennington who lived below him on the Enoree River. About 1764 several families viz: Joseph Adair, Thomas Erving, William Hannah, Andrew McCrory and his brothers, built a house of worship and became elders of the church. These first settlers were known to be primitive, as they wore hunting shirts, leggins and moccasins. The hair was clubbed and tied up in a little deerskin or silk bag. Trade was carried on in skins and furs because deer and beaver skins were a lawful tender in payment of debts.

In 1791 a small portion of it went to Kershaw County. The county seat is Columbia, which is also the state capital. In 1786 the state legislature decided to move the capital from Charleston to a more central location. A site was chosen in Richland County, which is in the geographic center of the state, and a new town was laid out. During the War Between the States General William T. Sherman captured Columbia and burned the town and parts of the county on February 17, 1865.

When the County Court Act was written in 1785, a court was held (in every county) once every three months and the first court was held at the house of Colonel Robert Rutherford on September 5th. The Justices present were Robert Rutherford, Robert Gillam, George Ruff, Levi Casey, John Lindsey, Philemon Waters and Levi Manning. William Malone was appointed clerk serving until 1794 with his deputies, viz: Thomas Brooks Rutherford, Major Frederick Nance and William Satterwhite. It was not until 1787 that another location for holding court was designated, being on the north side of the Bush River. William Caldwell and Joseph Wright were appointed to run a line agreed upon by the Justices to fix the public buildings by, which survey was produced at the house of John Coate.

The East India Tea Company, a British enterprise, held a monopoly on the American Trade. Nevertheless, Dutch traders managed to capture much of the colonial market by offering lower prices. Yet, two factors kept the price of tea high. First, the colonists paid a middle-man fee to English merchants who re-exported tea to America. Secondly, when Parliament repealed the Townshend duties, they retained the import tax on the tea as a symbol of their right to legislate in the colonies. In 1773, when a mismanaged and floundering East India Tea Company came to Parliament, they hoped for legislation that would bail them out.

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.&nbsp;</span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">&nbsp;</span><a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countydorchester.html" style="font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 16px;">. . . more . . .</a><br /> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-35730347625536652302019-10-16T12:06:00.000-04:002019-10-16T12:06:00.396-04:00<h1 style="background-color: white; color: #000066; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 14pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> 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.&nbsp;</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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countydorchester.html">. . . more . . .</a></span><br /> <div> <br /></div> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-59205934993155921022019-10-09T12:02:00.000-04:002019-10-09T12:02:00.342-04:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> Ruins on Highway 17 (coastal Highway</h2> <img alt="Colleton Ruins" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/colletonco.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;">Several Revolutionary War skirmishes occurred in Colleton County and the state legislature met in the town of Jacksonboro in 1782 while Charleston was occupied by the British.

It was given its current name in 1800 when it was named for John Barnwell (1748-1800), a Revolutionary War Leader. Barnwell County has decreased in size over the years as new counties were created within its boundaries (Aiken in 1871, Bamberg in 1897 and Allendale in 1919).

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.

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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countygeorgetown.html" target="_blank">. . . more . . .</a></span><br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-40477983616840332562019-08-21T11:33:00.000-04:002019-08-21T11:33:03.788-04:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> 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="117" /><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 Nathaniel 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.&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countygreenwood.html">. . . more . . .</a></span><br /> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-43132490066674291352019-08-14T11:29:00.000-04:002019-08-14T11:29:06.983-04:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 11pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> 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 /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countygreenwood.html">... more ...</a><br /> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-85932001824611679892019-08-07T11:14:00.000-04:002019-08-07T11:14:01.207-04:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> Do you have a Colonial Ancestor? The Importance of Searching Charleston Records</h2> <img alt="Charleston Harbor" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/charlestonharbor2.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 8px solid white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" title="Charleston Harbor in Colonial Days" width="50%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">In 1678 the first permanent English settlement in South Carolina was established at Albemarle Point. In the beginning of colonial times, however, the province included both North Carolina and South Carolina. They did not become separate royal colonies until 1712. Major settlement began after 1651 as the northern half of the British colony of Carolina attracted frontiersmen from Pennsylvania and Virginia, while the southern parts were populated by wealthy English people who set up large plantations dependent on slave labor, for the cultivation of cotton, rice, and indigo. South Carolina's capital city of Charleston became a major port for traffic on the Atlantic Ocean, and South Carolina developed indigo, rice and Sea Island cotton as commodity crop exports, making it one of the most prosperous of the colonies. Charleston maintained its port city with a strong colonial government who fought wars with the local Indians, and with Spanish outposts in Florida. The Spanish, well-garrisoned with its fleet in St. Augustine, were always a threat. And pirates plundered throughout the Atlantic from the New England States to Charleston. Since Charleston was an active port city trading with New England States, Savannah and other countries, tis wise for the genealogist to dig into the oldest records there. Interesting, one will discover bonds and affidavits regarding court trials against pirates, and other business which affected the Carolina regions. In tracing SC families one must consider all of the regional and historical aspects.&nbsp;</span><i style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">South Carolina Pioneers</i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">&nbsp;has an online collection of the oldest surviving wills, estates and deeds dating from 1687 to 1846. The point is that your ancestors could have easily landed at the Charleston port as anywhere else. It is a source which should not be overlooked.&nbsp;<a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/countycharleston.html">. . . more . . .</a></span><br /> <br /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <a href="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/counties/sccountiesidx.html">South Carolina Wills and Estates</a> <br /> <br /> <table align="center" border="1"><tbody> <tr><td bgcolor="yellow"><strong>SPECIAL GENEALOGY OPPORTUNITY NOW for yourself and friends! $7 (auto expires after 1-month)</strong><br /> <a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/tw.html"> Try it out now to see if you can find your ancestors</a></td></tr> </tbody></table> <hr color="#cccccc" width="99%" /> <table align="center" border="0"> <tbody> <tr><td align="center"><a href="https://georgiapioneers.com/subscribe/subscribe.html"> <img alt="Online Genealogy" src="https://georgiapioneers.com/images/OnlineGenealogy.png" width="99%" /></a> </td></tr> </tbody></table> <div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-1383276186282747"; /* 120x90, created 3/15/10 */ google_ad_slot = "4884514027"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>Georgia Pioneershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09144807411526106518noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220253250114361594.post-78574531913397245612019-07-31T11:10:00.000-04:002019-07-31T11:10:11.085-04:00<h2 style="background-color: white; color: darkgreen; font-family: &quot;Lucida Console&quot;; font-size: 12pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;"> The Ship "Carolina" Survives Hurricanes and Reaches Charleston in 1669</h2> <img alt="Map of Ashley and Cooper Rivers" src="https://southcarolinapioneers.net/images/ashley-cooperrivers.jpg" style="background-color: white; border: 8px solid white; float: right; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;" width="99%" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Pegasus; font-size: 14.6667px;">In 1669 the Lords Proprietaries sent out from England three ships, the Carolina, the Port Royal, and the Albemarle, with about a hundred colonists aboard. 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.
