Subject: [SCGREENV] Hudsons of Greenville Dist. @ 1810 & Holtzclaws
Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2001 10:19:08 EST
Carl,
I am responding to your messages in yesterday's SCGREENV Rootsweb
mail-list about your HUDSON and HOLTZCLAW ancestors.
First, my Betsey (or Elizabeth) YOUNG (born 1780s or 1790s) married one
of the HUDSONs in Greenville District, SC some time in the period between say
1803 and 1818. We wouldn't have know about this but in her father Rev. John
Franklin Young's final settlement some years later in Laurel County, KY the
court declared that daughter Betsey Hudson if still living in parts unknown
should ever show up, her surviving brothers and sisters (there were nine in
all) would have to give up some of their inheritance to give Betsey her
share. Betsey's parents, John F. and Susan Elizabeth Parker Young, lived in
north Greenville District, SC along Woolf Creek and the Middle Fork of the
Saluda River between about 1796 and 1812 when they moved to what was then
Clay County, KY north of the Cumberland Gap. Some of their older children who
had families of their own remained behind in SC until about 1818 when they
also moved to Clay County reuniting the family except for Betsey. Several of
us attempted to calculate which Hudson Betsey married, but there were too
many Hudsons and Hutsons in Greenville District then for us to make even an
educated guess. Can you shed light on this mystery? Which Hudson did Betsey
Young marry?
Secondly, I have seen several references to the HOLTZCLAWs of Greenville
District over the last two years and have been meaning to ask if Missouri's
Civil War guerrilla leader and one-time Confederate soldier Clifton D.
Holtzclaw descends from your family. Does he? I study guerrilla warfare in
Civil War Missouri as a hobby and have accumulated some material on this man
and his exploits.
