Graham Gathings was the son of Charles Gathings and Clarasea Bailey. Graham enlisted into the Civil War on 15 February 1863 at Wadesboro, North Carolina. He reported sick to Winder Hospital on 13 June 1864. He died on 4 July 1864.

Two of his brothers also died in the War; Charles Gathings on  27 October 1862 at Petersburg, Virginia and Thomas C. Gathings on 1 July 1863 at Gettysburg, Virginia.

Graham was married to Ann Haynie and had 4 children, a son and 3 daughters. His youngest daughter, Martha Ellen, was born after his death and the other 3 children were ages 11 and under.
 
On 5 October 2004, I along with my cousin M. T. Gathings visited Graham’s grave site at the Hollywood Cemetery. The grave was identified as Grave U-290. 

M. T. Gathings, the grand nephew of Graham, submitted the documents and paperwork to have a Military Tombstone placed on his grave in the Hollywood Cemetery, Richmond, Virginia. 

M. T. and I again visited Graham’s grave site in September 2006 to take photos of the grave marker in place. The photo above is one of those taken on that day in September 2006.

Friend of Friends Friday~SC, Freedmen's Bureau Records, 1865-1872

 
During the Holidays, FamilySearch posted some very interesting records related to South Carolina families.
The series is called the "South Carolina, Freedmen's Bureau Records, 1865-1872” and consists of over 200 pages of data.

The below document is typical of the documents found in this series. It’s an excellent treatise on the “fatherless families in the county after the Civil War”. In many ways it’s a sad commentary on the effects of a civil war on families.

 


This record is for my 2nd Great Grandmother Elizabeth Parson Sellers. In the late 1840, she and her husband moved to Tennessee. While there, her husband, my Great Grandfather, William Eddins Sellers, was killed while helping to build a church. She and the children returned to Chesterfield County.  In 1867, she was 45 years old and it shows that her son, James Arnold Sellers, age 21, was wounded in the hip. He was born on 16 Sept 1846.

I highly recommend you take a look at records at this hyperlink:

Based on the age of individuals listed the records represent the year 1867. 

There are 199 pages with 6 families listed on each page. The documents contain both white and black families and are co-mingled together by surname.

Mappy Monday~Chesterfield County Townships

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA
Chesterfield County was named for the British statesman Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773) or as some suggests Chesterfield County, Virginia.¹ The County Courthouse is located in the town of Chesterfield;  the county seat. 

The oldest town in the county is the town of Cheraw, founded and settled in 1748.

The county was settled by Welsh settlers from Pennsylvania and Delaware that moved into this region in the mid-eighteenth century, and they were later joined by Scotch-Irish and English.

During the Civil War, General Sherman's troops passed through this area burning the Courthouse in Chesterfield and destroying most pre-civil war records. 

Parent County/Boundary Changes²

• 1785 - Thirty-three counties were created within existing South Carolina Districts. Chesterfield was created within Cheraws District.
• 1800 - Chesterfield was re-christened a district and Cheraws District was abolished.
• 1868 - Chesterfield and all other districts became counties.

 
The County is divided into 9 distinct townships:³ 

• Alligator   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Cheraw   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Cole Hill   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Court House / Courthouse   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Jefferson   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Mount Croghan   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Old Store / Pageland  =  1870-Census, 1880-Census
  
• Steerpen   =  1870-Census, 1880-Census

The following map depicts the locations of these townships within the County.⁴

• Pee Dee   =  Is listed on the Map below but it is not listed on this website-http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scoconee/townships.html

Current population of the County is 46,103 (2012).⁵

Tombstone Tuesday~Pvt. William Alfred Rivers

“IN MEMORY”

WILLIAM ALFRED RIVERS

b. abt 1828

d. 17 Aug. 1863, Civil War

This posting is “IN MEMORY” of William Alfred Rivers. William was born abt 1828 to William Rivers and Elizabeth “Betsy” Rivers.

About  June 1851, William A. Rivers married Mary A. Brock, daughter of Squire H. Brock and Rachel Parker. 

Mary Brock Rivers died during or shortly after the birth of their son Squire James Rivers on 13 March 1852.
After the death of Mary A. Brock, William next married Eliza Ann Turnage about 1852.

William A. Rivers and Eliza A. are enumerated in the 1860 census¹ for Chesterfield County, SC.

1860 CENSUS: William A. RIVERS Household, 1860 U. S. Census, Chesterfield County, South Carolina, population schedule, page 100,  Line 9, dwelling 82,  family 82; National Archives micro publication Series: M653  Roll: 1217. Family History Library  Film #0805217. Household includes, William A. RIVERS, Male, age 31, born in SC; Eliza RIVERS, Female, age 30, born in SC; Emily RIVERS, Female, age 7, born in SC; Nancy J. RIVERS, Female, age 2, born in SC and  William L. RIVERS, Male, age 4/12, born in SC.

Their child, Squire is enumerated in his Grandfather Squire Brock household.²

1860 CENSUS: Chesterfield County, South Carolina; Roll: M653_1217; Image: 239; Family History Library Film: 805217; page 118A, Line 25, Dwelling 346, Family 345; Squire BROCK, Male, age 55, born in SC; Rachel BROCK, wife, age 50, born in SC; Sarah J. BROCK, Daughter, age 15, born in SC; Samuel O. BROCK, Son, age 14, born in SC; John W. BROCK, Son, age 12, born in SC; William W. BROCK, Son, age 07, born in SC and Squire RIVERS, age 08, male. [Squire Rivers is the son of Squire & Rachel's oldest daughter Mary A. Brock who married William Alfred Rivers, Mary died at child birth].

January 1861 was the start of the Civil War, William A. Rivers left his son, Squire James Rivers with his Brock grandparents and enlisted for the Civil War. Most of his young life Squire James was known as Squire James Brock rather than his real name Squire James Rivers.

In “Broken Fortunes” by Randolph W. Kirkland, Jr., reports that W. A. Rivers was a member of the Palmetto Sharpshooter (PSS) and died on 17 August 1863 at Petersburg, Virginia.³   

Secondary evidence indicates that William Alfred Rivers died at Petersburg, Virginia in August 1863. However, I have not found his military service record on Fold3 or any other evidence that proves his death. No tombstone has been found for William A. Rivers. If you have any information about  William’s military service, please contact me through this blog by posting your comments.

However on October 1866, Eliza Ann Turnage Rivers filed to have her husband estate inventoried and settled. This document provides primary proof that William A. Rivers died before 29 October 1866.⁴

Amanuensis Monday~Will of Nancy W. Vandigriff Brock

Amanuensis Monday is a genealogy blogging theme. It was started by John Newmark who writes the TransylvanianDutch blog.

His definition of Amanuensis is:
Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.


Today’s posting is the Will of Nancy W. Vandergriff¹who married Valentine Brock on 21 July 1836 in Henry County, Georgia. 

Valentine died² on 25 April 1850. His death left Nancy with 2 young daughters to raise on her own. Having family in the area made a big difference in her life and she never re-married after the loss of her husband.

Nancy died on 25 March 1907** leaving one surviving sister³. Her oldest daughter Margaret P. Brock died in 1892. I have not found a death date for Mary Ann Brock but since she is not named in her Mother’s will it indicates that she too may have not survived.
