Redin R. HALFORD/ALFORD was born about 1803 in SC and was living in Colleton early in the 1800s. He was still living in Colleton in the 1870 Census. He had a wife Anna born about 1810 in SC. I would like to know who his parents were and if he had brothers and sisters in the area.

My great grandfather was Peter Ferdinand HARLEY (1842-1929). He was from the Colleton district and fought in the confederate infantry, 2 SCV Co. I. He later married Ella Golson INABINET and was a farmer in Jamison SC until his death. One of his brothers was W.W.(Cow Bill) HARLEY for whom Harleyville was named. Another brother, Joseph M. HARLEY, drowned in a river returning from the Civil War. P.F. HARLEY's father was James S. HARLEY (1801-1867) and Catherine --- (CUSACK, I believe). I am searching for information on James S. HARLEY's parentage and his wife Catherine. 

My Great Great Grandfather was Andrew Hall Harley born @ 1800 in Colleton County. He married Conelia Amamda DeCosta. One of his children was Dr. Govan Bragg Harley (my great grandfather). I cannot seem to find the parents of Andrew Hall. I would love any help.
 
 

I am doing research on Harleys from the early days in South Carolina. The Harleys that I am descended from are: Joseph Harley I, born 1695; Joseph Harley II, born about 1723; Lt. Jospeh Harley, born about 1748; Jackson Harley, born about 1776; Dr. John Harley, born 1809; Robert Rhett Harley, born 1848; Mattie Harley, born 1880 (my grandmother). My grandmother, Mattie, was born in Barnwell County and I would be particularly interested in any relatives of her brothers or sisters. If you are related, give me a return message and we can see if we have any info to share (I have lots). For more information on my Harley line, visit my Harley Family page.

She died in Colleton Co, SC on 2 Dec 1909.Their children, Edward, Frank, Arthur, Dewey, Eula, Essie, Lottie, and John William HARPER were all born in Colleton Co, SC.

He is buried in Port Royal, Beaufort Co, SC. Any help with this family would greatly be appreciated.

Alexander HEWAT (1739-1824) was the first historian of South Carolina and Georgia. His "An Historical Account of the Rise and Progress of the Colonies of South Carolina and Georgia", 2 vols, (London, 1779) was reprinted in 1962 by the Reprint Co, Spartanburg, SC. Alexander arrived in Charleston in 1763 as Minister of the Scots (First Presyberterian) Church. His brother Andrew Hewat (my gggg grandfather) joined him about 1770. Andrew was a wine merchant in Charleston and married a widow, Katherine Brisbane (widow Elliott) in 1773, later becoming a planter with his brother-in-law Adam Fowler Brisbane. Both Alexander and Andrew were Royalists, and were expelled from SC in 1777, with their land in Colleton and Craven Cos confiscated. We would be interested if anyone could search Charleston church, land and Royalist Army records for this unusual name (sometimes spelled Hewatt).

In the 1759 will written by my ancestor David HEXT, he describes property located on the "Pons Pons River" near Jacksonborough (Colleton County). I saw another reference to the "Pons Pons Road," in an account of the SC slave insurrection of 1739.
The only rivers I can see on my map which are near Jacksonborough are the Edisto River and the Ashepoo River. Does anybody know where the "Pons Pons" was? Also, I'm still trying to determine who the parents were of this David HEXT. Please contact me if you are also researching this line. Thanks!
