Guess what not all the CALWELL's went to Ireland before coming to America.
John CALDWELL b 1742 in Scotland came in 1770 and a possible brother Curtis CALDWELL b abt 1735 came to America before 1751. Curtis was in South Carolina and John went to NY.

Does anyone else have CALDWELL's who came to America from Scotland without living in Ireland first? Maybe if so, we might be related. Ruby stokesra@wwics.com

Monday the 8th Day of October 1759. "... A Message from the Governor by Mr. Bassnett. Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen,

In answer to your Message of Yesterday concerning the Rangers, I inform you that the two Troops of Rangers have been complete some time; but that commanded by Captain Fairchild was raised about the Middle of August last; and the other commanded by Captain Hunt did not get it’s full Number till about the middle of last Month. They are order’d to patrol on Saludee and Broad Rivers, and their Rendezvous is at the Mouth or entrance of Reedy River in Saludee. Before they were rais’d the Cherokees kill’d two Men on Pacolet River; and also while Captain Fairchild was completing his Company they scalp’d a Woman and a Boy in those Parts which created a very great alarm among the Settlers there; many of whom left their Houses, and others were preparing to follow their Example; but on the 28th of August Captain Fairchild march’d from Ninety Six with his Company to their Assistance and I believe his presence and remonstrances were of much use to prevent a total Desertion of those Settlements. William Henry Lyttelton....

May it please your Excellency,
As we conceive the Rangers or part of them, may, for the present be spared from patrolling in the Back Settlements, and be employ’d to better purpose in gaining Intelligence of the present State of Affairs in the Cherokee Country; we humbly desire that your Excellency will please to order such a Number of them as you shall judge necessary to patrol (if practicable) as far as Fort Prince George and make inquiry concerning the situation of the Garrison at that Fort, and of the present disposition of those Indians.

Order’d That the Committee to whom His Excellency’s Messages are referr’d do now sit.

And then the House adjourn’d till tomorrow Morning Nine of the Clock...."

Extract of a Letter from Charles-Town, South-Carolina November 7, 1759.
Congarees, November 3, 1759.
“The Governor, on his Arrival here, did not find the expected Number of Troops. The collected Force of the three Battalions (Chevellette’s, Powell’s, and Richardson’s) does not exceed 800 Men, but he intends to lose no Time, and will therefore, on the Arrival of the Regulars and Provincials with the Baggage Waggons and Artillery, proceed to the Cherokees. Further Draughts, to the Number of 500, are ordered to follow. We hope to be joined (according to Directions sent to that Purpose by his Excellency) by the North-Carolina Forces at Keowee. It is said the Little Carpenter is returned from the Expedition he was upon, and has brought in four Scalps, and two French Prisoners.”

January 24, 1760
The Pennsylvania Gazette - Charles-Town (in South Carolina,) Nov. 24.

OUR last Account from the Army was brought down to November 13th. They marched that Day to Twelve-Mile Creek in the following Order, viz.
1. The Advance-Guard with a Subaltern from the Regulars;
2. the Troop;
3. the Volunteers;
4. the Artillery Company, guarding the Field-Pieces and Powder-Waggons;
5. the Governor, with his Staff-Officers and Houshold;
6. the Regulars;
7. Col. Richardson’s Battalion (40 of which, and of Powell’s and Richardson’s also, were picked out to act as Light Horse;)
8. Col. Powell’s Battalion;
9. the Indians under a Captain’s Guard;
10. the Rear-Guard;
11. the Waggons and Carts, about 100 or more, a Number of Horses packed with Flour, Servants, &c. under a strong Guard of Militia; the Line of March was two Miles long.
- Nov. 14th. Marched in the same Order as before to Mile Creek, and encamped near Dennis Hayes’s: Several Waggons broke down, and Horses tired, could not reach the Encampment that Evening: The broken Waggons were ordered to be lighted and repaired. Nov. 15th. Marched to Hallow Creek, and encamped at 1 P.M. to give Time for the Waggons that had been disabled to come up, who all (but 4) got up that Evening: Capt. Dugeon, the Engineer, went forward with the Pioneers, to repair the Road. Nov. 16th. Decamped very early, and marched to Little Saludee. Here an Express met the Governor, with Accounts, that the four Cherokees, who deserted the Army at the Congarees, had got into the Nation the Day before Mr. Elliot and the Raven (Otacitte’s Runner;) that upon their Arrival, a general Alarm had run through all their Towns; and Runners were dispatched over the Hills; and also to the Creeks, with a painted Tomahawk, to desire their immediate Assistance; that the young Men were determined to die rather than deliver up a Murderer; and that the prevailing Sentiment of their Councils seemed to be, to meet our Army, with their collected Force, at Twelve-Mile River, which is exactly 12 Miles on this Side Keowee. Some of our Accounts say, that there were 5 Creek Indians in the Nation when Elliot and the Raven arrived, who immediatly pushed off as Runners; and seem to suspect, that the Raven, instead of delivering the good Talk sent by Otacitte, had given a very bad one of his own. This Day it was reported, that two Catawba’s, who had been sent by Col. Richardson in Quest of the Cherokee that got off coming with the Goods from Virginia, had killed him, and carried his Scalp into the Catawba Nation. This Night they were more strictly watchful over the Cherokees than ever, to prevent any more of the treacherous Villains escaping. Nov. 17th. The Army marched to Saludee old Town, where it was joined by Col. Chevellette’s Battalion, and about 40 Chickesaws, 27 of which were good Gun-men, and likely young Fellows: The Chickesaws were drawn up in a Line opposite to Chevellette’s Encampment, and received the Governor with rested Arms; His Excellency then advanced, shook Hands with and spoke to them; he told them, “That he was going to the Cherokee Nation; that he had sent for them to go with him; that he was going to get Satisfaction for Insults and Murders committed by them on his People; and desired they would keep a good Look-out, and let him know immediately if they should discover any Cherokees about but withal charged them not to kill or hurt any, till he knew whether they would give the Satisfaction he should require, or not.” His Excellency also acquainted them, “That he had some Cherokees with him, under a Guard, which they should not molest or hurt; but desired, that if any of them should offer to run away, they should endeavour to take them, and bring them back to him.” They promised to observe all the Governor said, and that they would scout and keep a good Look-out; after which, as his Excellency went forward, they saluted him with a Volley: They were all painted and dressed in their War Attire. This Morning the Governor sent off an Express to Major Waddel, to hasten his Junction with our Army: We have no Account that can be depended on, of the Number of Forces he will bring; some of our Letters say, 1000 Provincials only, others add to them 4 or 500 Militia; one Letter tells us, the Major was actually on the March, and as near to Keowee as our Army. At Night the Cherokees made an Attempt to send a String of white Wampum to the Chickesaws, but were prevented.

November 18th. The Army halted, for some of the Waggons to get up; to give Presents to the Chickesaws, and to deliver out Arms, &c. to such of the Militia as had none, who were many. That Evening one of the Artillery-men detected one of the Interpreters carrying two Strings of Wampum from the Great-Warrior of the Cherokees to the Chickesaws; the Fellow upon being detected pretended he was sent to but a Horse with it; but that Excuse appearing very lame, Captain Gadsden sent the Wampum to the Governor, that this Affair might be further inquired into. The whole Army, on the 18th did not consist of more than 1687 Men, including Waggoners, Negroes, &c. and not 1300 of these could be called fighting Men; of them, 10 or 12 (of the Back Inhabitants) had deserted every Night since the 15th. November 19th. Arms were to continue distributing to such as wanted, and on the 20th, the whole Body was to move for Ninety six. The Chickesaws had an old Cherokee Woman Prisoner; there was an young Creek Fellow among the Cherokees, and another among the Chickesaws; the latter was married among the Chickesaws, and looked upon himself as one of that Nation, however was related to the former; the Chickesaws therefore begged the Governor would release that Prisoner to them, offering the Cherokee Woman in his Room; his Excellency accordingly released the Creek Indian, upon their promising that he should not run away, and that they would be answerable for his good Behaviour.

The Accounts received in the Camp the 16th Instant from the Cherokees, puts us in Mind of a Letter we received about 18 Days ago, from one of the Middle-towns, dated the 27th of October; wherein we were told, “That the Headman of that Town had on the 25th, early in the Morning, come to the Writer, an after first insisting that he would solemnly promise not to reveal one Thing he should tell him, to any in the Nation, acquainted him: That all the Satisfaction the Indians, who were then going to Town, intended to offer, was, that every Murderer should be sent out in Quest of a French Scalp, or Prisoner, for every white Man he had killed; that they looked upon this running the Risque of their Lives as a sufficient Retaliation; and that if this Offer did not prove satisfactory, they were bent upon Mischief, and Mr. Gouedy’s Store was the first Place they had pitched upon to plunder: That there had been a general Conspiracy among the Indians, viz, the Upper and Lower Cherokees, Creeks, and Catawbas (the Chickesaws only were ignorant of it) and that the said Cherokees then in Town had carried several Wenches with them who could speak English well, in particular one Seers’s Wench, that had lived in Town a long Time, to give us a shocking Specimen of Indian Policy, to be put in Practice, in case the Governor should not then give them a Talk to their Mind.

December 1. There being some Chasm in our Intelligence from the Army, from the 18th to the 24th Instant, by some of our Letters not having yet come to Hand, we shall defer publishing our Advices from thence till our next. The Army was healthy and in high Spirits, but the Rifle-barrel Men continued to desert 10 and 12 at a Time. They arrived at Ninety-six the 21st ult. where they were building a Fort, and were to move forwards for Keowee as Yesterday.

December 8. Our Advices from the Army on March to the Cherokee Nation, from the 19th to the 28th ult. inclusive are as follows: November 19th. Upwards of 400 Provincial Arms were delivered out to the Militia and Regulars. Presents were also distributed amongst the Chickesaws, and more promised them when the Expedition should be over. All the Waggons got up. Orders issued to march forward the next Day, many of the People fell sick. November 20th. Decamped from Saludee old Town, and at Noon marched, the Morning being taken up in distributing Ammunition. At 3 P.M. halted at Half-Way Swamp. The Army then consisted of about 1400 Gunmen, above 100 Waggons, besides Carts and Pack-horses. The Chickesaws staid behind to send off their Women and Children. Sickness and Desertion encrease. November 21st. At 9 AM. marched for Ninety-Six: Arrived and encamped there at 2 P.M. after crossing 2 Creeks. All the Baggage and Provisions got up. The Chickesaws also joined the Camp. Here they found Chenallotohee, Brother to Tiftoe (one of Occunastota’s Party, under Guard:) He pretended to be hunting in these Parts, and that hearing of the Governor’s Approach, he came to see his Excellency; being told that the Governor would see and talk with him at another Time, he went out to fetch in his Party, and promised to return the next Day. November 22d. The Ground was reconnoitred for a proper Place to build a Magazine and Stockade Fort, to secure Ammunition and Provision, and a Retreat, if necessary: To save Time, Expence and Trouble, Mr. Gouedy’s Barn was fixed on for a Store house, and it was resolved to stockade it in. Chenallotohee returned to the Camp, with his Party (which some of our Letters say consisted of 17, altho’ he brought in but 41) The Governor admitted him into his Presence; asked what he came about, and what he had to say? He answered, that he was hunting, and desired to see his Brother; whereupon, after being told all that his Excellency had said to the rest of the Indians in his former Talks, and that he might either continue to hunt with his Party where he was, or go home to his Nation, and tell what he saw and heard, he was soon dismissed, with leave to see his Brother Tiftoe and the rest of Occunnastota’s Party, that they were well: When he saw them, he seemed pleased that nothing more had befallen them than their Confinement; and told Tiftoe, “That the 4 Indians who deserted from the Congarees, had carried bad Talks into the Nation, and reported that they were all made Slaves; that the Indian who went from Town with Lucas, had given a good Talk; but he had heard that the Raven had also given a bad one, which had put the whole nation in a Ferment.” Tiftoe told him, “that they had all been well and kindly used since they had been with the army; and blamed the Run-aways for being abridged of Liberty:” He told him farther, “that those of his Countrymen who were concerned in killing the English, must be delivered up to the Governor. Chenallotohee then said, “he was willing to accompany his Excellency, and act with him in getting Satisfaction; and desired to be permitted to stay in the Camp all Night,” this the Governor did not think proper (for notwithstanding his fair Speeches, it was suspected he came only to see the Strength of the Army, and to converse with his Countrymen, to discover whether it would be prudent or adviseable to oppose the Army’s Passage over 12 Mile River, as had been designed) and he was ordered to depart immediately; which he did at 4 P.M. When the Order came, Tiftoe was talking to him about delivering up the Murderers, telling who they were, and who were proper Persons to seize them. Major Boud arrived this Day, with his Voluntiers. Great Plenty in the Camp, and Blankets were sold at the Charles-Town Price; yet Desertions continued. Sickness continued, but not Mortality. November 23d. Mr. Elliot returned form the Nation; left Keowee the Day before, and Fort-Loudoun the 15th; all well in both those Garrisons: He saw the Little Carpenter, who appeared a good deal concerned at the vigourous Measures this Government was pursuing, professed much Friendship for the English, and said, if the Governor would permit him, he would meet his Excellency at Keowee: Elliot represented the Middle Towns as peaceable and well disposed, many of the Upper and some of the Lower the same, and a good deal terrified; but said, that the Towns who had been concerned in Murders, who might make up about 500 Men, remained refractory, and made Preparations for War. This Day some of Colonel Richardson’s Men joined him from the Borders of North-Carolina, and reported, that Major Waddel was to have set from Fort-Dobbs, with 200 Men, on the 20th; for which Report there does not however seem to be any Foundation. The Army now between 13 and 1400 strong. An Account was received that Chenallatohee was gone for Keowee, and said he would give a good Talk.

November 24. Captain Dugeon, the Engineer, laid out the Ground for the Stockade; the Pioneers, Volunteers, Servants, &c. opened the Ditch for planting the Puncheons. Elliot was sent off an Express, it was thought, to give Permission to the Little-Carpenter to meet the Governor at Keowee; whither the Middle-town’s People had already agreed to come, though they expressed an Aversion to be joined with those of the Upper and Lower Towns (who they say are bad) lest they should not be distinguished, but treated as one People. November 25th. Nothing remarkable happened. Continued to work on the Stockade. November 26th. Two Runners arrived in the Camp from the Nation, with an English Flag, and brought a Talk, and a large Quantity of Wampum: An Express arrived at the same Time from Keowee, intimating, that these Runners were only Spies, and came to converse with their Countrymen, under Pretense of seeing the Governor; his Excellency would not see them, but ordered that they should immediately depart, and go Home. Letters from Keowee said, that the Army having so many Headmen of the Nation in Custody, had puzzled the Indians very much, and that it was the only Thing that had prevented their doing more Mischief, and committing further Acts of open Hostility. From certain Orders issued on this Day, it was thought the Governor had received Intelligence of scouting Parties being about, to observe the Motions of the Army. November 27th. The Banquet to the Stockade was finished, and the Gate put up. Some Volunteers from Port Royal joined the Army. An Express arrived from Virginia. Meazles, Purgings, and pleuretic Complaints, rather increased than abated. November 28th. The whole Army was reviewed, except the Indian Guard and Rangers, and found considerably short of the Returns; there were 1299 effective Men. Orders were given to march early on the 29th for Keowee; during the whole march to which, every Man is to be under Arms an Hour before Day, and so continue till Sun-rise, to prevent a Surprize, that being always the Time when Indians make their Attacks. A Garrison was to be left at Fort Ninety-six, which is 90 Feet square, has Sheds on one Side of the Store-house for the Men, and will be of great Service to the Inhabitants of those Parts in all Times of Alarm. And Major Singleton was ordered to join the Army by long Marches, with 200 Men of the new Draughts.

In a Letter from Augusta, dated 24th ult. (which we were favoured with a Sight of last Saturday) it is said, “That the whole Chactaw Nation of Indians are now in the British Interest, except about 100, whom the French employed and paid as Rangers. That the Superintendent still remains at the Oakfuskees; and that the Mortar of the Oakchoys, with eighteen Warriors, is gone to join the Cherokees.”

The Pennsylvania Gazette - NEW YORK. March 24.
Extract of a Letter from Whitemarsh, in North-Carolina, dated February 21, 1760.
“I came from Kingston, in South Carolina, late last Night-An Express arrived at George-Town, giving an Account of a large Body of Indians on Horseback, who were killing and destroying the Inhabitants, both white and black, and laying waste the whole Country before them. They were got down to a Place called Four Holes, within thirty Miles of Charles Town. The Alarm is general throughout the Province, and they are all now under Arms. There is another large Body of Indians on the Back of Anson and Rowan Counties; and if they push on with the same Precipitation, we have the greatest Reason to expect that they will soon be here.”

Were these 2 men in Maryland? The following book: Abstracts of Inventories of the Prerogative Court of Maryland 1718-1777 by VL Skinner Jr. on pg. 58 & 59 (from Liver 102 folios 101-114 of the Court records) has included a list of debts due to the estate of Philip Key dated Dec 9, 1769 in the inventories filed in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. The list of debtors includes approx. 622 names (published in alphabetic order) and include John Foudron (?Fondren) and Hugh Quin. Other publications show that Philip Key was a High Sheriff and Justice in St. Mary’s County with his death occurring March-Sept 1764. The residency of the names on the published list is mostly not indicated but a few are listed in other counties. The time and place of the original debt is not indicated. The obvious question is whether these are fees to be paid by the debtors for transactions conducted in St. Mary’s County, Maryland, with Sheriff Key to be the debt collector in his official capacity, or whether these are mercantile debts such as store book accounts from trading companies based in Maryland with customers located outside of Maryland? By itself, as abstracted and published, without more details of the debt, this list does not place John Fondren and Hugh Quinn in Maryland prior to the death of Sheriff Key, but it raises this possibility for additional research.

John Fondren received 300 acres as a land grant from the Governor of North Carolina in the area which now falls in South Carolina on both sides of Cherokee Creek.
John Fondren has early records in Mecklenburg County, NC, Tryon County, NC, Old Ninety Six and Abbeville District, South Carolina, and probably Spartanburg County, South Carolina. He received 300 acres as a land grant from the Governor of North Carolina , 6 Dec. 1771, in the area which now falls in South Carolina, on both sides of the Cherokee Creek. He also has an early Charleston Deed (Book M-5, pp. 228-229) dated 24 June 1781, for 200 acres on the "Broad River on the east side of Buffelow Creek." This was purchased from Thomas Campbell of the Jersey State (New Jersey ?), which he had purchased from George Dickerson of Great Britain. This 200 acres, which cost 200 pounds, was granted to Hugh Quin by the Governor of North Carolina. [NOTE: There has been much speculation regarding the relationship between Hugh Quin and John Fondren, as other records include both names also.]

The William Jones Srs. family settled in present Kershaw County, SC, Craven County, the one in which the Jones family lived was one of the four subdivisions and comprised the entire eastern section, about one-fourth the area of the state, from east of Charleston, SC to the east of the Santee Congaree, and Broad Rivers, thence to North Carolina state border. Royal land grants were given to 18 men of the name of William Jones, all but 2 of them living in Craven County. To distinguish or locate a certain man among many of the same name it was necessary to also know in what part of the county he lived.

Robert Grier d. in Butts Co. and is buried there. The Grier’s were Presbyterians and were members of Bethany Church. On Dec 7, 1773 Robert’s father came from PA with a wife, 4 sons 2 daughters and settled on 450 acres of land below Beaver Dam. This was near the line between Greene and Warren Co.. Like many of the Scotch Irish of GA, they came from PA to a milder climate and to rich cheap lands. No doubt that Benjamin Franklin’s almanac inspired the Grier boy to create a similar publication which made is now in Culloden, GA. Its importance in the home was only 2nd to that of the bible. No ads were used in the 1st issues. Ref: History of Greene County, Georgia by Rice and Williams

Date: Sun, 06 Dec 1998 From: > To: JONES-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [JONES-L] Georgia Hi Nancy and other members of this list, I thought I'd make my first entry to the list today-tonight ! If one of the names ring a bell perhaps I can help you. I've really not done a lot of research on the JONES surname. It was just too overwhelming. My Dad, L G JONES, born Gwinnett, Co., GA.
My Grandfather, JOHN ROBERT JONES born 1886 Rabun, Co., GA. Married a BARKER.
His father, JOHN B. JONES born 1861 probably Rabun, Co., GA, orphan of the civil war father and a mother who died from the hazards that the war put on her with a young family. John B. married a FULLER.

His father, WILLIAM NEWTON JONES born 1820 Ga. He was Civil War Veteran - died as prisoner and was lost to all knowledge for 130 years. We found him in 1991 on "foreign soil" at a national cemetery. William Newton Married a LaPrade(Laprade) - pioneer family from VA to GA.

His Father WILLIAM JONES born 1773 SC, married 1800 to Babasha COFFEE. William and Bashaba's brother, General Edward Coffee, (of the Indian Wars) were some of the first white men - pioneers to Rabun County, Georgia.

MOSES JONES, the father of William, was possibly born NC/SC disputed lands at that time. He came from Oconee County, SC. He fought at Kings Mtn. in the Rev. (information provided to me-not my research).

This Jones family was very prolific.
Maryland Jones were part of this cousins of William's (1773). The William of 1773 had 14 children and spread out all over North Ga. to Alabama and who knows where else. Part of the children in the descending lines wrote JONES Book in West Georgia. Much history goes with this JONES family.

Moses JONES(my 4th great grandfather) was married to Nancy (unknown). Does anyone know who this Nancy might be ? Good searching Nan Jones R. :-) Note: I don’t know if this is my Jones connection or not yet

Migrations into Spartanburg Co. By Frank Scott In searching for the origins of your Spartanburg County ancestors, a general idea of the migration patterns into the county could give you the clue as to where to look. The very earliest of the settlers, of whom we know very little, came when the land was still controlled by the Cherokee Indians. Mostly they were either traders or roughed frontiersmen. It is doubtful that they stayed very long in anyone place given their own natures and their business. The second group to come to Spartanburg County came after the land was secured from the Indians between 1765 and 1770. A third group came after the American Revolution. There were others who came to the area either as individuals or in small groups in between these two major migrations or shortly afterwards. By 1810 the county was completely settled and the phrase "bordered by vacant land" is not found in the deeds.

After the French and Indian War, the Snow Campaign and a treaty that ceded the Cherokee's claim to Spartanburg County, the area was finally opened to permanent settlement. It was at this time between 1765 and 1770 that thousands of pioneers moved along the "Big Road" into the county. When you travel I -85 from Charlotte to Atlanta you are parallel to this ancient Indian trail. The trail ran from the coast of southern VA into what is now the Greensboro area, skirting that town much as the Interstate does today, and making a straight line to present day Charlotte. From there it cuts diagonally across the up-state crossing Cherokee County, the Pacolett River, Lawson's fork, Spartanburg County and on to Greenville and Atlanta. By the time the first white settlers came into Spartanburg County, SC, the road was wide enough for two wagons to pass.

[To] The Honorable the Council of Safety.
CONGAREES, January 2d, 1776.
GENTLEMEN:
By Col. Thomson of the rangers, you will receive, if nothing happens, the prisoners, we thought proper to detain, which, upon examination, find were the most leading and active, in taking the powder at Ninety-Six, and the late camp. They were long out before taken, and have been some time since in durance, from which circumstances they of course will make but a despicable appearance, adding also, that the spirit of humility and contrition takes place of the opposite character. I shall say but little now, as I wrote so fully yesterday by express. I am at a loss to know how to recommend my brother Colonel, will only say his behavior has been as becomes him, and deserves your notice. My hurry in getting off the people provisions, etc., obliges me to desist, and only add that I am, gentlemen,
Your most obedient humble servant,
RICH'D RICHARDSON.

Curtis Caldwell of Ninety Six District, Spartan Division on Grand Jury list.

South Carolina Jury Lists for the Ninety-Six Judicial District - 1779

In 1778 and 1779, the Whig General Assembly of South Carolina passed legislation establishing new lists of jurors for each of the seven Judicial Districts that had previously been created by the South Carolina Royal Government in 1769. There were two lists established for each district, one for petit juries and one for grand juries. Legislation for six of the Judicial Districts, i. e., Charles Town, George Town, Cheraws, Camden, Beaufort and Orangeburg was passed in March 1778. The Legislation for Ninety-Six District was passed in February 1779.

The lists for each Judicial District were further broken down by certain geographical subdivisions within the District to more precisely identify where the jurors lived. In the case of Ninety-Six District, one of these geographical subdivisions was the "Spartan Division" which corresponded to one of the Election Districts that had been previously established in 1778; this was the Upper or Spartan Election District. The area covered by the "Spartan Division" included what are now the modern-day SC counties of Union, Cherokee and Spartanburg.

These jury lists are the closest thing available to a household census of South Carolina before the Federal Census of 1790. It should be noted, however, that not every resident of South Carolina at the time was cited in the list. Only free white males of good reputation, who owned at least some real property in the District, were eligible for jury duty. Also, all of these men were, at least ostensibly, of the Whig political persuasion. By 1778-1779, most of the politically/militarily active Loyalists and Tories had been expelled from the State or driven into hiding. Many of these people were identified in the Proclamation Lists of 1779. This fact notwithstanding, a review of the lists reveals the names of many men who, after the British capture of Charles Town in May 1780, became active Loyalists during the 1780-1782 time frame.

The main purpose of this web site is to provide at least some historical illumination on the more notable Loyalists and Rebels who resided in the Upper Saluda or Spartan Division. Accordingly, I reproduce the petit and grand jury lists for the Spartan Division below. The order of the names is the same as they appear on the original hand-written lists, which are stored at the SC State Archives in Columbia. Since the order is not alphabetical, names that appear close together on the lists probably also lived in close geographic proximity to each other.

A Loyalist
John Fondren is listed as a "Loyalist in the Southern Campaign" - he was in the Granville County Militia, and received six-months pay for serving from 10 Feb - 9 Aug 1781 in Colonel Nicholas Lechmere's Regiment. His name is spelled Fondaron in this record. The next record, "Pay Abstract Nr 46, Captain John Fanning's Independent Troop South Carolina Volunteer Horse, Soldiers' Certification, 61 days pay, 21 August-20 Oct 1781, to be paid 1 Feb 1782," lists James Fonderen plus James Fonderen receiving John Fonderen's pay. Another record, "Pay Abstract Nr 27, Colonel John Fisher's Regiment, Orangeburgh Militia, Captain Samuel Rowe's Company, Soldiers' Certification, 183 days pay, 14 Jun-14 Dec 1780, Charlestown, SC, 30 Nov 1781," lists Henry Fondearin and Sebastian Fondearin. These may all be members of the same family, but that will be difficult to prove.

1781 Fall Robert Hobbs served 3 months Colonel White Captain John Mapps company. Robert volunteered under Captain John Mapp, 1st Lt. Nathaniel Robinson. Our company marched and crossed the Savannah River at the Cherokee Ford, General Pickens, commanding the South Carolina Volunteers, and joined the Georgians under the command of General Elijah Clark on the Buffalo Fork of Long Creek in Wilkes County, Georgia. From thence we took the Highland Trail and marched to the Long Swamp Town in the Cherokee Nation between the Chattahoochee and Hightower River. We had 2 engagements with the Indians, killing ten and taking eleven of them prisoner; after taking the Long Swamp Town, the Indians came in with a flag of truce, then a talk and at which time ceded the County that comprised of Franklin County in the State of Georgia or Pendleton and Greenville Districts in South Carolina and Buncombe County in North Carolina. We volunteered for three months tour, and were six weeks in the Nation but I can not positively state, how long we were on our march in going to ____ from the Nation on this expedition but the best of my recollection we were on duty about three months which was the last part of my service in the Revolutionary war.

I served in many scouting parties against the Indians and Tories for the period. These scouts were ____ on emergencies when ever the Indians or Tories committed and depredations in the region of the country where I was, as many men would be raised as could be in the neighborhood, ____ would then go in pursuit which trips would last from two days to a week. I served as a private in every expedition I was in, I never was wounded nor in any engagement with the exception of those mentioned as having occurred with the Indians.
I am of opinion that I was subject to service in draft and otherwise between 3 and 4 years. He further states he never took up arms against or acted against the welfare of his country, neither avoided any duty that was imposed upon him by his country. He further states that he has no documentary evidence but one written discharge for his service and that was for the tour to the Ten Mile Home on Charleston Neck in South Carolina and which I have previously stated was lost of destroyed many years ago.

I have tried to be as true to the original as printed in the paper as possible. The asterisks are made where there is a possible misreading. Kearsey would read Casey, Kavil for Cavil, and Kithcart (althought that was the name at the time) became Cathcart, Richman would read Rickman. The final one is Luke LeCroix whose name has been spelled and written in an extraordinary number of different ways. Please note: This is a one time list of names published in the Spartanburg Herald newspaper. There were others who served in this regiment but were simply not listed in the newspaper article. This is a "snapshot" if you will of the regiment at a given time. The article is just as it appears in the newspaper and just as you can't change a newspaper article or add to a "snapshot" we cannot make changes to this listing and stay true to the original author's work. 1781 Feb 10 - Aug 9 John Fondren listed as a Loyalist in the Southern Campaign he was in the Granville County Militia and received six months pay for serving form 10 Feb - 9 Aug 1781 in Colonel Nicholas Lechmeres Regiment.

Whig Militia Commanders' Enemies Lists of 1783
On 17 March 1783, about a year after the passage of the Estate Confiscation Act (No. 1153), the South Carolina Fifth General Assembly passed Ordinance No. 1189 entitled Disposing Of The Estates Of Certain Persons, Subjects And Adherents Of The British Government; And For Other Purposes Therein Mentioned.
According to this ordinance, the real and personal property of former citizens who had chosen to join the British were vested in the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates. It was a comprehensive act, but had no lists of names. The commanding officers of the State's militia regiments ware instructed, when asked by the commissioners, to make lists of those men who had joined the British. Men so identified had six months from the end of the legislative session to return to the State for trial. Ten (10) militia commanders made returns, resulting in a total of 689 names. These returns constitute the largest listing of Loyalists/Tories ever promulgated by the Whig Government of South Carolina.

No one really knows why Ordinance No. 1189 was passed. However, some historians have speculated that the passage of this ordinance resulted from the lowcountry planters' effort to appease the backcountry for the leniency then being shown to British merchants and to fellow lowcountry families, relatives, friends, and associates. The practical impact of this ordinance is unknown to me. To the best of my knowledge, no additional estates were confiscated as a result of being named on the militia commanders returns. However, these 1783 returns provide almost three times as many names of South Carolina Loyalists than the Confiscation Act (1782) lists.

The lists returned by the individual militia commanders are stored at the South Carolina State Archives in Columbia, under the title "Miscellaneous Papers on Forfeited Estates" at File Number S126170, Box 4. I reviewed these records in January 2002. Unfortunately, many of the original returns are now missing, including the return by Colonel Thomas Brandon of the Upper or Spartanburg Militia District. Even so, a number of years ago, the Archives personnel prepared a consolidated and alphabetized record of all the returns under the title "List of Enemies to the State - 1783." I obtained a copy of this master list and prepared a Microsoft Access database of all the Loyalists' names and associated militia commanders.

A total of 689 names were provided in the returns, that were received from the ten (10) militia commanders as follows:
1. Colonel Robert Anderson
2. Colonel Thomas Brandon - 120 Names
3. Colonel William Bratton - 46 Names
4. Colonel John Marshall - 88 Names
5. Colonel John Purves (Purvis) - 120 Names
6. Colonel Benjamin Roebuck - 94 Names
7. Colonel Thomas Taylor - 38 Names
8. Colonel William R Thompson - 54 Names
9. Colonel Philemon Waters - 19 Names

In Chester County, SC Minutes of the County Court 1785-1799 we find a case that indicates John Price and John Fondren had been in some kind of partnership. The abstract reads: 5 October 1786 John Morrow, Plaintiff against John Fonderien and John Price, Defendants- In Debt. Came the Parties by their Attorneys aforesaid and thereupon came also a Jury to Wit William Embrie, Asey Darbey, Daniel Oakes, Alexander Rosborough, Eli Gore, John McCawpin, Geo.

Will of John Lee 2nd, farmer of Little River, Fairfied Co., .... To my well beloved daughter Rosana 100 acres, run by Curtis Calswell, and another 100 run by myself adjoining the other 100 on Mill Creek.... Old Lee's property a Royal Grant, 30 Aug 1762, situated in Craven County, on Rocky Creek called Bulls Branch. Lee's mill on revised map is on the Chester and Faiffield line lying on the Little River, in an area about 5 miles along the border of the two districts (Chester and Fairfield) and not on the better known south fork of the Little River. (Lying on the north fork of the Little River)
Revolutionary Soldiers of Catholic Presbyterian Church, Chester County, South Carolina by Mary Wylie Strange, 1946, reprinted 1978

1787
After the Revolution there are numerous entries for law suits, with John Fondren as the defendant as well as the plaintiff. Was this a form of harassment because he had sided with the British, or had he lost his fortune, or were there other reasons? In the York County Court of 1787 we see that Hugh Quinn, the original grantee of the 200 acres mentioned above, was now in this county. He, Hugh Quinn, was allowed to "keep a common tavern at his dwelling house until January Term next." John Quinn is listed as a security. Were John and Daniel Quinn his sons? There were two suits initiated, John Fondren vs. John Quinn, and John Fondren vs. Daniel Quinn. "Plaintiff called failed to appear. Ordered that he be nonsuited."

To add a bit to my previous note.
James Harvel/Harwell and Patsey had at least 4 children including:
Thomas b 31 May 1794 NC,
William b abt 1797 in GA, “Polly" and Jane.
Thomas m 3 times 1 Mary Chapman, 2 Martha Crow, 3 Permelia Jackson. William m Mary "Polly" Hobbs, Polly m William Jackson.
Hardy Phillips was guardian of the orphans and appears to have married James' widow Patsey who appears to have died before 1814.
