Sorry, no mention of Ebenezer Singleton, he is obviously another "batch" or
"line" of Singletons. Remember, I am not of the SC line either.
Too many people, no rudeness intended, still try to attach themselves to what
they perceive to be the more "famous line" of Matthew and Robert Singleton.
If you follow that line down through the generations (immediate) into Georgia
and Mississippi, they are no better nor worse than anyone else's family tree.
Many ended up flat broke!

George,
politely meant - surely Gary wasn't saying that it was true, only where it was
sourced.

I do have some info regarding Lady Sarah Singleton nee
Butler (1787-1840) and Thomas Singleton (1781-1864) of
Leeds County. In fact I have a book called Leeds the
lovely which gives an historical look at many of the
settlers from iriland and england, including this two
mentioned which by the way I'm related to. please put
me in contact with any who wish more
information

Ebeneezer Singleton was a line of his own to the best
of my knowledge. He shows up in Horry Co., SC. Here
are some notes I've collected about him:
Deryl Young
Signed his name as SHINGLETON.
1721- Ebenezer Singleton (Shingletong) was a signer of
the address
welcoming the new Gov. Francis Nicholson - Journal of
the Proceedings of the Honorable, the Gov., and the
Council beginning 29 May 1721 and ending 10 Jun 1721.
NOTE: a Richard Singelton also signs this address.
1731- Ebenezer Singleton is a petit jur
Kathy Hall had asked for the source
of Manoah's alleged middle names.
I received on 5 February 1999 a copy of a letter
composed by one Mary Frances Simpson
[who is a lineal descendant of John Douglas Smith &
Mary Frances Singleton m. on 8 Dec.1824 in Brunswick Co. VA]
Frances Simpson wrote in part:
"...from the Mississippi Daughters, Their ancestors 1965 (sic) is this:
Mary (daughter of Lt. Manoah Nathaniel Hawkins Singleton
b.1740 d. 1818) married John Douglas Smith in 1765."

There was a John Singleton [wife: Lettitia] who served in Capt. Lithgore's
Co. in the PA Militia in the War of 1812-------a possible predecessor.

How interesting that the Revolutionary War Memorial's abbreviation may have
been misinterpreted in this way.
A few years back I was being shown round an American "stately home" in
Alexandria VA when the docent pointed out the "pictures" carved on the beams
for the (non-literate) slaves to match up where each beam needed to be placed.
What we were looking at were in fact Roman numerals, easier to carve in wood
than arabic numerals which are curved.
So a lesson to all genealogists ...

And I, as well. I'm a Singleton (tho spelled Singelton) and my
grandfather was John Milburn Dennis, also born 1875, who seemed to
have passed thru this life leaving no trace except a few photos and
a daughter. I was raised in St. Louis and can understand how you
Never claimed to be an expert in anything but sure would love to find old
Manoah. He is a great mystery in my genealogy
also don't want future generations to destroy the cemetery where we think he
might be buried so if we put a stone there for him as a RWsoldier that would
insure it's survival

Thanks for all the info and help to me over the years in developing my in
common Singleton lines. Hope you have smooth sailing and a healthy, happy slower
pace of life.

Kathy,
None of the records I have seen have other than Manoah
either. I have added your explaination to my notes
under Manoah so that hopefully in the future others
will know better.
I think when I first started looking into Manoah
someone sent me the long version and I had it in my
database until you convinced me otherwise. Sorry if
information I have shared has contributed to the
confusion.
Thanks for the hard work,

He was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., and raised two children in Queens, N.Y.

Kathy,
Have you been in contact with any of the Texas branch
of anoah's descendents? All my paper records are
still packed up from my move but memory tells me (a
dangerous statement!) that a branch of several
families moved early into Texas. They have a reunion
each year and a historian but I can't remember who I
got this information from.
I checking my database as I write I find Mason

died in 1892, Travis Co., Texas. I received
information from:

The three volume 1787 Census of Virginia enumerates 6 different William
Singletons--1 in Amelia Co.; 1 in Amherst Co.; 2 in Brunswick Co.; 1 in
Fauquier Co.; and 1 in Gloucester Co. In addition, the 1790 Federal
census lists a William in Charlotte Co. I am seeking identification of
these men in order to eliminate them from the search for my ancestor.
All I know of my William Singleton is that he was b. c. 1755-1762; that
he was living somewhere in VA when his son Thomas was b. in Dec 1782;

Hello again,
It is my understanding that Robert and Matthew came from Virginia (and
possibly from England before that) to Sumter, SC with their father
Christopher. Matthew did have a house near Sumter. It does not still
exist. The house that I was thinking of that does still exist is
Kensington Mansion built in 1854 by Matthew R. Singleton (Matthews
3GGrandson).
I recently found these interesting web pages about Mat
Yes, both I and Gary Singleton have run across William Singleton and wife
Permelia. Gary has the facts down better than I do, and was and is the source of
all that I know regarding these folks.
Recommend you check out your info with Gary Singleton.
Glad to hear from you again,
George L. Singleton
Your comment about genealogists using abbreviations and numberials was
interesting
the stone was placed at the courthouse by the DAR I think many yrs ago so it
wasn't genealogists who did it but too bad the DAR did and others
