South Carolina Counties

Unknown county: Kenneth Young posted 9/25/2008: Need info on a Seletha (Letha) Satchel supposedly born in SC about 1820. That is all I have. She Married William Newton Malone in FL 1846 kensy@prodigy.net I don't know what county but I believe that my g.g.g.grandfather Clemuel Lawson was born in South Carolina abt. 1800 he married Elizabeth Wilson in KY and then moved to Tenn., Illinois, and finally settled in Maries County, Missouri.  Any information at all would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Kim  kimsemaan@charter.net (posted 10/18/2008) My cousin's oral family history says that our ancestors, the Peaks or Peeks, were Scots-Irish that migrated from Ulster to Charleston about 1730.  I have identified the David Peek family in Antrim, Ulster that included sons John (b 1707) and Robert (b 1709).  My ancestor, John Peak Sr. was in Prince Edward County, VA before 1750 and there was also a family of a Robert Peak there as well.  I am trying to tie the Irish Peeks and the VA Peaks together.  South Carolina would appear to be the bridge.  So I am looking for any signs of immigration or residence on the part of the Peek/Peak families in South Carolina in the 1730/1740 time frame.  Can anyone help me?  Ed O'Brien (posted 2/25/2008) Researching:  JOHN YOUNG (abt 1776) SOUTH CAROLINA Married to Sarah(?)  Their children: John, Joseph, Wiley and Green Young (my maternal ancestor b:1805).  I found Green Young with Wiley in MS Territory 1816.  I would like info on JOHN YOUNG and the South Carolina History if possible. Thank you for considering this query.  Carol Ann Henderson Young  (posted 3/14/2009) My mother is a descendant of the Culpepper line. Her great ,great Grandfather, John William Culpepper was born October 1772 in Richland Dist. S.C. He married Nancy Gillespie b. 1778 .  Nancy was the daughter of Francis Gillespie and Elizabeth Peek.  Another Query dealt with the Peek line. I do not have more on them but the districts might help. Nancy was born in St. David’s Parish  In 1778.  They were in S.Carolina still for the birth of my mother’s Great Grandfather, William Henry Culpepper b. Oct 17, 1813 . This would apparently be Lexington Dist. As they were in Lexington Dist for the birth of their second son, Joel Culpepper in 1795. Joel remained in S.Carolina until his death in 1836.  John Jefferson Culpepper was born November 4, 1797 in Orangeburg Dist. S.C.  Daniel Peek Culpepper was born in 1800 but I do not know the location.  Other children were born but I do not know their location for proof.  One other son was born who was named Lewis Peek so the name Peek was used twice. I am hoping to learn more about the parents of John William Culpepper b. 1772.   I am fond of the “Culpepper Connections “ Web site and John b. 1772 May be the son of a John who had brothers named , Benjamin and Joseph.  John William b. 1772 may have been orphaned as a boy and lived for a time with his Uncle Joseph.  I would just like to know more.  I am certainly open to suggestions.  Tommies Smith   (posted 7/25/2009) Trying to find a man named Henry Bollinger who was from Switzerland who took  advantage of the offer of land in South Carolina.  I believe that he settled in Pendleton,which I understand is now Anderson, Abbeville, and Pickens.  I am under the impression that the time frame is between 1760 and 1770.  His son arrived in PA with his wife and children later.  The son died in 1770 and I have found his children in Pendleton SC.  Apparently the grandparents raised the children.
