Hi, my name is Rosemary, I live in Houston, TX and have been working on a family tree for about 5 months now. I have a cousin in Horton, AL originally from Charleston, SC that has done some research that I am getting information from and she has given me the earliest possible which is Simon Magwood born 4-9-1763. He came to Charleston 8-1-1785 from Monaghan, North Ireland and married Mary Elizabeth Holmes born 1770. Simon died 8-4-1836 and Mary died 2-1-1833. They had seven children: Eliza born 1795, Charles Augustus born 1796 and married Rebecca O'Hara (maybe around 1824, not sure), they had 3 kids: Elizabeth, Helen and James, but somehow the name Mary Ann Lucas ties into it. Then there's: James Holmes born 1-15-1796 or 97-died 1815, Simon John born 10-3-1805 died 1891, married Susan Sarah born 1818 died 1893, Susan C. born 12-6-1807 married Andrew Moreland, Eleanor Mary born 12-5-1808 and Sarah A. I also know that somehow the last name Pinckney is tied into this. I am still in the process of finding further information and waiting on the next generation line to get closer to my connection. I am married so my maiden name is Garfinkel and my grandmothers maiden name is Murray. If anyone has any other information linked to these names let me know.

it is very possible that we are related in some way. I am 62 years old. My father, Booker Thomas Magwood was born to Anna James Magwood (born in Clay County, Georgia) and Jonas Magwood (born in South Carolina around 1874). Most of anna and jonas children settled in the Georgia and Alabama areas. A lot of jonas siblings migrated to the ohio and chicago areas. Some of the family names that I have confirmed are Howard, Robert,Jonas Jr.,len, Booker T., Boss, Johnnie Bell, Charlie, Rosetta, Susie, Lue, Van Ester,Anna, Eva and Iona.

Hello. I am Aretina Hamilton. My father's name is Arthur Magwood, Jr. I am tracing my roots. Magwood is not a common name, so I am sure that we are somehow linked.

Here's what I know so far.

My grandfather, Arthur Magwood, Sr. met my grandmother in Clio, Alabama and relocated to Louisville, KY. My aunt told me that there are alot of Magwoods in SC and GA....

Could we be connected..let me know

This Emma is the granddaughter of Samuel Rowe.....Samuel is a brother of my great grandmother, Eliza Ellen Rowe. There were 11 children in the family; parents were John Henry Rowe (1816-1900) and Mary Crawford (1825-1912).

Thank you,

We are definitely related way back when. Our family are Magwood/Maywood (name changed somewhere along the way in some of the families) came from County Fermanagh, Ireland (and our oral history says they emigrated from England to Belfast (County Antrim) in N. Ireland and then moved to County Fermanagh. Immigrated to Canada around late 1820s/early 30s. We have several Williams - and a number are Methodist ministers. Please contact me.

Your mother was a Magwood from Johns Island? That's a great start! What was her first name? I can't ask my grandpa because he's passed on but maybe my grandmother may know.

Re: Hello

2003-06-21 03:56:36Z

Actually, Samuel Magwood was 80 years old.
He actually passed away in December 2002.

Re: Hello

2003-06-19 19:14:59Z

Well...I do have a cousin that is about 50 that is named Samuel. He lives right around the corner from me. Maybe that is a connection.

Re: family tree

2003-06-19 19:11:49Z

I was surfing the internet and I came across your posting. My mother is a Magwood from Johns Island I and am also. Maybe we can find out who we are.

There may be a connection here for me. My maternal grandfather was David G.Magwood, born 11 Jun 1887 in St Michelle de Bellechasse, PQ. Little is know about him as he died in a 1910 accident at age 22 in Worcester MA when my mother was only 8 months old. His funeral was at the 1st Presbyterian Church in Worcester MA and his body was returned to Canada for burial. Reportedly, his mother was Rebecca Suiter or Suitor. My grandfather had 2 sisters, Susan and Ellen, and brothers: Richard, Robert, and James

What do you think? Please reply to nxtc@verizon.net

Neoria — 2002-01-21 14:38:56Z

I'm looking for my grandfather family. Don't really know much about him except that he is from the area of Brunswick, Ga(Glynn County). He was a singer that was how he made some of his income. He had 2 sons (Johnny Lee, and Thomas Jefferson Magwood). My mother name was Esma Lee Magwood. Major was married to my grandmother Minnie Lee Magwood. My family don't know anything about my grandfather back ground or family. My uncle Johnny said that my grandfather left home one day and never came back. No one knows what happen to him. Some say he was killed, but his body was never found.

A while back I did speak with this man by the name of Major Magwood(not my grandfather, to young). But what is funny Major told me that he was named after his Uncle a "Major Magwood. But what was really funny, Major's uncle was from Brunswick, Ga area. But Major didn't know much about his uncle. Major said his uncle lived in NY when he knew him. His uncle is died now.

I really hope someone out there might know of this Major Magwood and get in touch with me it will be nice.

Thank u so much

Hi, my name is Wylene Bain. My maiden name is Terry. My father's name is Eugene Magwood. And he is from Ben Hill, Georgia. My father had 4 children with my mother, Lula Terry, of Dawson, Ga.

My mother died in 1969 when I was just 3 years old. I have 2 sisters, Linda and Patricia Terry. And 1 brother, Eugene Magwood, Jr. My brother died last year at the age of 34. If there is any one that have information on Eugene Magwood, please contact me via e-mail at wylee33@aol.com. My father died in 1985. I do not have any pictures of him and would really like to have some. I will be awaiting a reply. Thank you in advance.
