PINSON
My great-grandfather is buried in McCormick County, along with much of his family. I'm trying to find out any available information on Ammanett Pinson, e.g. where he came from, when he was married, whether there were other children than my grandfather, or other older relatives identified. Here's what I have ...

This information is mostly from my father, Paul Harold Pinson, listed below.

Ammanett Pinson (b. Feb 21, 1842, d. Mar 1, 1907, source tombstone in Bethany, McCormick County, S.C.). Pop remembers Virginia discussed as his home, but nothing on the county or city, which would help my search.

Ammanett Pinson m. Laura Rosalie Lee (we have no information on Laura Rosalie Lee either). Information on Laura Rosalie Lee would help as well.

Children included Frank Maynard Pinson (b. Feb 8, 1881, d. Jan 1, 1966, source tombstone in Troy, McCormick County, S.C.) (we have no information on other children, if any).

Frank M. Pinson m. Martha ("Mattie") White (b. Aug 24, 1890, d. Dec 21, 1965 source tombstone in McCormick County, S.C. I have some additional information on Mattie White's brothers, sisters, and parents)

Children (all born in McCormick, S.C.) included:
* Florence Imagene Pinson (Bernard) (b. Nov. 3, 1910, d. Feb 15, 1979, Aiken, S.C.) * Henry LaVerne Pinson (b. Oct 30, 1916, d. July 31, 1937, hit by a car, McCormick, S.C.) * Frank Maynard Pinson, Jr. (b. Apr 29, 1914) living in Fountain Inn, SC * Eugene Lee Pinson (b. Mar. 30, 1920, d. Apr 1989, Myrtle Beach, S.C.) * Harriett ("Hattie") Pinson (Potter) (b. Jul 21, 1922) living in McCormick, S.C. I've seen at least one other Hattie Pinson somewhere on the web, but my aunt Hattie was named after her mother's mother Hattie Isabel Rakestraw (White) * Paul Harold Pinson (twin of Hattie) (b. Jul 21, 1922) living in Aiken, S.C. * Helen Clare Pinson (LaRoche) (b. Sep. 20, 1924)

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

BOYSWORTH
Am looking for some of my realtives. There was a Rupert Boysworth (Bosworth) that lived in McCormick for awhile. He had three children there. Rupert, Jr. Bosworth b. 10-1918, mother Fannie Martin. Ruth Elizabeth b. 5-28-1926, mother Lillie May, Helen Louise b. 2-4-1920, mother Lillie Mae. There was another sister, Bessie Mae, may or may not have been born there, unable to find a birth certificate. I have visited there a few years ago and asked around. People there said that Rupert was crazy, and he was a big secret that everyone only whispered about. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The name is often misspelled Bosworth, without the "Y". Please Help!!!! I have been unable to locate Rupert anywhere and have hit a gigantic brickwall!!!!

BOUCHILLON/MAJINETTE/GUILLEBEAU/ROQUEMORE
My ancestor line begins with Joseph Bouchillon and Marie Majinette, Andre Guillebeau and Mary Jane Sequin Roquemore who arrived at Charles Towne in 1764. Both Joseph and Andre fought in The American Revolution. You are probably aware of Andre due to the Historical marker that tells of his leaving France and why. It also states that the original homesite is about 1/4 mile from the sign and that his house built in 1770 is the oldest structure from the original Huguenot settlement of New Bordeaux.

Andre and Mary Jane's son Peter Guillebeau, Sr. was the father of Peter, Jr. I have always been stumped as to why I could not find a wife for Peter, Jr. Peter, Jr. never married because, at the time, he could not marry the woman who bore him four children. I do not know her name but, I do know the children's. She was Black and thank goodness her family were never slaves. Peter, Jr. evidently took very good care with their children. When he died, She inherited the Guillebeau house and the Brown's lived in it for several generations.

I mainly am interested in my Black cousins at this point because I know so little. I talk by phone to two of my Black cousins about every two months. Research has been tough as all Black or African Americans know only too well. My cousins came from England which at the time, as far as I can recall, was the only major nation that did not allow slavery. Mailto:UTHORN67@aol.com Posted May 12, 1999

Elizabeth Jane Robinson, b. abt. 1835; Caroline S. Harvley, b. 9/6/1833, d. 1/1/1874, m. Matthew Devore, b. abt. 1830; Martha E. Harvley, b. 5/23/1835, d. 10/1/1867. Would love to have any information anyone would share with me - ancestors and descendants. On 1850 census, John Harvley was living with John Gable - would like to find out why. These Harvleys are my ancestors and all I know are their names.

MCCORMICK
My name is Bettie Mccormick and according to family history, three McCormick brothers came to South Carolina about the mid 1700's.

He married there had 4 daughters, (no names) and one son Charles W. about 1802 from which I am decended. John moved to Hopkins Co. KY about 1807, there sometime in the early to mid 1830's his wife died and he remarried and had three more children. I have been unable to find three brothers in the immigration records who came at that time. Anyone with information I would be glad to exchange.
