My husbands Great Aunt many times removed was Ida Pollard. She was married to a Lott Hazel. They may have had a child that died young, because I vaguely remember a baby with the last name of Hazel buried in the same cemetery, but I had no proof to connect her to anyone. They are buried in the family cemetery on Kimble St. Do you knbow if your Lott was ever married to Ida Pollard? I know they are not a direct line, but I do like to add as much info as I can on any family member. Thanks for any help,

Hi, my great-grandfather was Robert Lee Key, wife Rosa, whose death certificate (unless I have the wrong death certificate) says Kinney Key and Winnie Boyd were his parents. I was wondering if you have any information on him or his family? Thank you very much.

I have been reading your threads from Aiken. I would greatly appreciate any information regarding the Lockhart Family from Millbrook, Aiken, South Carolina. My Great grandfather's was Captain (Anderson/ Andressan) Lockhart and his Father's name was Peter. The wives were Christianna and Leah (learer). I cannot find any information on Peter's parents. Is it possible that you could tell me how to locate this info or point me in the right direction? By the the way the brief history on Millbrook was quite informative.
Please respond if possible.

Williams Family in Aiken

I'm trying to find information on my father maternal side. I know they were from Aiken. Her married name was Annie Williams, I don't know the maiden name. She disappears from the census in 1910, but I can find no death records. I believe she may be mulatto

Re: Sleepy Hollow Township, Aiken County, SC

dreamweaver1963 — 2009-10-14 09:07:05Z

My family too was one of many moved because of the building of the Savannah River plant. You hear more stories about Sleepy Hollow than see anything.

I have family who still live in the area, but to be honest there is not much to see.

Re: Millbrook Township Aiken County, S.C.

walbringd — 2009-09-07 15:09:50Z

Hi, Gavin
Redd/Red is a common name here no matter what your racial makeup. I have a Darling Red in 1880 Census, South Carolina, Aiken, Windsor District 20, Page 2. He is listed as a mulatto male 46 years of age with a wife Louisa and several children listed also.
What was once called a Township here is now listed as a District. The district lines moved over time as the population grew and of course people moved.
Do you have a Census with your grandmother on it? Were her brothers listed also? Is that how you got there names? What was her age on the census you have with her listed on it? What were her brothers ages? Do you have a year of birth for your grandmother or her brothers even approximate?
Here is how I have searched a problem like yours. As you are using Ancestry put the name you want in the search section, if you do not know the date of birth that is ok, then hit search, ignore the results, look to the left of the results, click on census, ignore the results look to the left and pick the year census you want and click on that, once the results come up scroll down and you will find the states listed click on South Carolina once those results come up you will see the districts listed. Mill brook will be one of those also Hammond and Windsor and Mountmornci. I mention the other districts as they are the ones I would check first. You must flip through each page you cannot run the search engine here. If you find one that looks likely save it to your computer and note the district and page number you found it on. When I find a person I am looking for I look forward and backward several pages on a census. I have found family groups tended to group together.
I would be happy to try to help you but I need some of the information I cited above to search. If any of them were buried here and you know where I would be willing to do a grave look up for you and send you a picture if I can find the headstone. Here is my e-mail address if I can help you.

The University of South Carolina Aiken Campus has a room devoted to the mills if you can go there you might find what you are looking for they also have some things on line. Another source is the Aiken County Musuem (please excuse any spelling errors it is late and I am sleepy). I know they have some of the old publications from the mill for the employees that have pictures. Those would be in the Gregg division of the building. My grandfather did the publication of those and I have found pictures of him in them. Hope this helps.

The Sleepy Hollow Township is in Aiken County South Carolina. Use Bing.com or google to look up Aiken County Goverment, South Carolina there web site will give you the information on sources to contact. Our land offices here are called the RMC if you are looking for land records.

Hi,
My name is Jan. Use Google and put in Millbrook Baptist Church on Pine Log Road Aiken, South Carolina and you will be at the old Millbrook Township. No one here remembers how the name originated and I still have not found anything on that topic. We have and had many mixed families in the area. What or who are you looking for maybe I can help you find them. Please remember we had segrated cemeteries here.
Millbrook is now in the city of Aiken and is what we call the south side of town.

Re: Aiken County Cemetery Books

jlisle — 2009-07-07 23:58:06Z

Cynthia,

Thanks! That was just what I wanted. Pictures of the headstones would be appreciated.

Any chance the name was J G Steadman, not J C?

I have quite a database of the Steadman family and am currently re-working my records of the SC and NC families. And this fellow just does not fit into any of the families that I know about.

http://johnlisle.org/stedman/tng

There might not be other Steadmans, but there may be daughter lines. They had a daughter Florence, born in the 1850s. I do not know who she might have married.

What were some of the large families in that cemetery? Could you please give me a couple of names so that I can try to understand who the other people there were?

Is the church still in existence? When I looked at the space on a map I did not see a nearby church.

Thanks,
john.

Re: Aiken County Cemetery Books

Cynthia,

I am trying to locate information a Johnson or Jonathan Steadman (1821-1893) and his family (wife was named Lavisa/Lavicy/Vicy Creed (1818-1891)) in Aiken county.

I have had a friend suggest that they were buried at the Tabernacle Cemetery. And maybe other family members.

Can you help?

thanks,

Hello,
Steadman, J.C. 7 Apr 1821 - 3 Jan 1893
and wife Vicy Steadman 21 Jul 1818 - 4 May 1891
are buried at Tabernacle Baptist Church which is located in The Kitchings Mill Community.

A quick look at my Tabernacle listing does not show any more Steadmans but I will double check.

I will try to get a picture of markers next time I go there. There are a lot of beautiful old markers.
Hope this helps,

Re: Aiken County Cemetery Books

Cyhardy — 2009-07-08 02:26:11Z

John,
To see it on Google maps look for Kitchings Mill, SC. Follow Hwy 4 toward Springfield til you get to Tabernacle Road. Do the street view at corner of Hwy 4 and Tabernacle and you can see the church.

Check out Findagrave.com for a few listings of Tabernacle church. I don't have my list with me right now but Kitchings, Seiglers (I think) and Brodies are common names for the cemetery. I will get back to you on that.

I'll have to check out the stone for confirmation on initial.

I believe I have a history on the church that I will have to take a look at also.

I'll be in touch,
Cynthia

Hi, I am looking for information on the Millbrook Township that was in early Aiken County, S.C.

E.J.C. (Ezekiel Jeremy Charles) Wood

BarbaraBrandon711 — 2009-08-18 12:53:44Z

I am searching for living descendants of E.J.C. Wood. Known as Charles, he was a founder of Aiken,SC. Several historical markers in Aiken Co. refer to him. He was also known as Dr. Wood, an honorary title given him since he opened the first pharmacy in the county.

Mr.Wood also kept a diary about his family. Excerpts from this diary appear in the book "Wandering in the Wilderness" His son, Ellie (Elliot) Wood published these excerpts. Ellie was a Virginian.

I am interested in the entire diary. Can anyone help? Are there any Wood descendents out there? Pls reply to this thread or to my email address andybrandon33@hotmail.com

kscherry1967 — 2009-08-22 03:12:43Z

Jo,

My aunt is Minnie Cherry, born 1906, died 17 Mar 1925 in Aiken County. She lived in Sleepy Hollow but the family moved to Ellenton sometime between 1910 and 1920. My email is kscherry2000@verizon.net. My grandfather also had an older brother, Charles Cherry. He was the first born (approx 1890) of 11 children and died an infant (approx 1893). He may also be in that cemetery. If there are any Cherrys other than Charles and Minnie, they could be relatives.

Thanks for your help,

Kevin

christyspires76 — 2009-09-04 01:47:18Z

I've hit a serious brick wall with my Spires line. Were these scotts and spires from the vaucluse area? Off the top of my head, a few names are Hugh Spires, Jr son of Hugh Edwards Spires, wife Nettie Scott. Nettie was the daughter of Mamie Cato and I believe Robert Oliver Scott. Hugh Sr's father was Charlie Spires and mother Julia Eubanks. Mamies parents were Addie Franklin and Benjamin Cato. Do any of those names sound familiar? There was another Mamie Scott in Vaucluse who was also related somehow through marriage. There were also some Scotts Milledge Allen Scott, James or Jim Scott.

Looking for info on the family of William Rhett Wilson(Nov 15 1891 in Hampton Co area. He died May 20 1973 in Aiken Co SC.) It appears from his obit that he was married twice. I know his first wife was Belva V Wilson(July 12 1891 in Colleton Co SC and she died Mar 23 1956 in Aiken Co SC) William's obit lists a widow Mrs Jessie Heape Wilson. The obit also lists a daughter Maude W Starrick.
