I am also interested in the Piney Grove records. Edmund and Nancy Anderson
Brown lived near there. Their probate hearing notices were ordered posted at
Piney Grove Meeting House. I know that they were Baptists, and members of
Beauty Spot Baptist Church. However, I understand that many Quakers became
Baptists. These Browns moved to Marlboro from lower Bladen (now Robeson)
county about 1780 possibly to avoid the Rebel vs. Tory fighting. If they
were Quakers that would explain why I have found no records of R

I have a connection to a Lewis family. My 2nd great grandmother's sister,
Mary Ellen Haskew, was married to a Mastin Lewis (1812-1860). They had at
least two if not more children. One was John J.(ames) Lewis b. 1847, and a
daughter Mary E. born 1850. The mother, Mary Ellen , remarried a Mr. Bruce
after Mr. Lewis died. I do not know what became of the son, but this might
be a lead for you if you can find and follow him on a census. And he might
be living in a 'Bruce' household. This family was also M
Hi y'all,
I'm not a COCHRAN researcher but I found, in Harllee's "Kinfolk" a
quote from "family records in a Bible of Claudius M. Cochran now
owned by Mrs. Annie (Covington) Mowry of Bennettsville, S.C., a
descendant of his brother Robert [Cochran]" which I thought might
help some of you:
"Thomas Cochran, the father of Claudius M. Cochran was
born July 8th in the year of our Lord 1746 and departed this
life the 15th of April 1818."
"Claudius M. Cochran was born in the year of our Lord
1804 January 30th.
Hi Brenda,
I'm not certain about it being the "Ole Swimming Hole", but I've seen turn
of the century photos of McCall's mill pond with it being described as a
popular hangout for those in the city of Bennettsville. It's the nearest
pond (at that time; Lake Wallace is only 50 years old) on Crooked Creek,
which passes thru the heart of the city; being only about a half mile west
of the edge of current Bennettsville, it's fairly close. However, there
could have been a few "holes" in town on the creek.

Addendum: I asked a similar question on the Stafford mailing list and
was pointed to Guilford College.
Here's a URL: http://www.guilford.edu/library/fhc/index.htm . This is
called "Friends Historical Collection, Hege Library, Guilford
College." There are good links and Quaker info there, mostly for NC,
but some hints for SC.

Hi y'all,
For those of you with Confederate ancestors from the Pee Dee area,
or who are just plain interested in local history, you should know about
a new book by one of our fellow researchers, Jerry Kendall:
"Confederate Burials, Marlboro, South Carolina"
I recently received a copy and I have to tell you, it's a jewel. There
are wonderful and unexpected surprises within! In addition to
the data indicated by the book title, there are photographs of homes
and cemeteries (tombstones too, of course); a m
I purchased the book, and agree with Victoria. It is well written and well
researched.

Hi y'all,
For those of you with Confederate ancestors from the Pee Dee area,

a new book by one of our fellow researchers, Jerry Kendall:
Hi y'all,
Is anyone researching Quakers (Society of Friends) in our area?
I'm interested in knowing more about the Monthly Meetings which
were apparently held at Gum Swamp (near the Dillon border), and
Pee Dee, both of which were apparently in Marlboro County.
As I understand it, the records for Gum Swamp were lost. Is that
correct? What about the Pee Dee MM? Anyone done any research
in the records?
Thanks for any info!
Cheers,
Victoria

Thank you for all the great suggestions! I got an email this morning that
suggested adding my missing generation to the correct parents and then
detaching the wrong child from the parents and then reataching the correct
son with the correct parents and it worked!
Thank you for all your emails and suggestions!
Sincerely,

THE ROBESON COUNTY HERITAGE BOOK UPDATE
AUGUST 15, 2001
The last meeting of the Robeson County Heritage Book

at the Robeson County Public Library in Lumberton, NC
with an excellent attendance. Besides the publisher, Don
Mills [Walworth Publishing], also in attendance was
Ms. Billie Faye Evans of the Bladen County Project,
[who reported that 300 more of the Bladen County books
are being reprinted by the publisher as we speak]. S
Some versions of outlook will 'wrap' the adress. You may have to copy and

surprised to see the listing. Somehow I had always thought the Elvin Coxe

Hi y'all,
I don't know much about Piney Grove yet, my interest in the Society
of Friends/Quakers is relatively new, but what I've learned so far
about Piney Grove is as follows.
According to J.A.W. Thomas in his "History of Marlboro County",
Piney Grove was originally built by the Quakers. When they migrated
to the Northwest (slavery issue), the house was left unoccupied and
to be used for worshipping by other denominations. Thomas says
that the Baptists from Beauty Spot were the first to use the church
I am interested in getting in touch with Bill Kinney of the Marlboro
Herald-Advocate. Does anyone on this list know if he has an email address.
If so, can you email me privately with the address. Thank you.

I recently purchased a copy of Jerry Kendall's book and have already found
myself pulling it out on several occasions to look for things. It is so
well laid out, finding things is pretty easy. And I like the fact that it
is a hardback, and will last for a long time. Well done, Jerry. I continue
to enjoy it. The pictures of the old monuments are wonderful.

In the library in Bennettsville there is a 1925 City Directory for
Bennettsville. It list the residents names, occupations and home address. I
do not live in Bennettsville anymore but probably someone from there could
look up the names for you. Mary

Tammy,
If a confederate ancestor appears in the index/list it only means
that he is buried in a Marlboro County cemetery.
Cheers,

Try the library for an old telephone book for his address, and business
address. My mother was born in 1907 and she's still kicking, though not
very strongly. Then try the city directory for the pre-war era. 1930
census should pick up on something, maybe. Just a few "idle mind" thoughts
that might help. Mildred
