Hi one and all,
Hold my feet to the fire for being at least partially responsible for all the
OPD CD clamor [big grin].
I am a native of Germany and my connection to Old Pendleton is by marriage. My
wife is a LOOPER and better than a decade ago we starting tracing the Loopers
in Pickens County and elsewhere.
What struck me about Old Pendleton when I started off looking at the Loopers
was that wherever I looked I ran into the same HESTER, BURDINE, SATTERFIELD,
BOWEN, LATHAM, MAULDIN, ALEXANDER, RICE, CLARDY, KEITH, SUTHERLAND, BURGESS,
MASTERS, etc., etc.. With the early settlers in the area it appeared that just
about everyone to some degree or another was "Cousin."
The LOOPER family together with the ones that married into the family or the
Looper ladies who tied the knot with other families very quickly added up to
close to 28,000 individuals.
Early on during my investigation I joined the Old Pendleton Chapter, SCGS, and
got many in the members interested in joining my quest. Many have been most
gracious in making their decades of published or unpublished research
available to the extent that by now we can account for over 190,000
individuals and about 65,000 families.
Over the years this has been a fun project and will continue, advancing age
and health permitting.
The Roll Call has been most interesting and with many of the names I am very
familiar.
While we are still working at it, your contributions to the project are very
much appreciated in the hope that future generations of researchers will
appreciate the time and effort that it took to put all this together.
