MCLEAN: Seek names of wife and children of Duncan McLean, native of Scotland, who sailed from Campbeltown, Scotland, to Cape Fear, North Carolina in 1770. A Duncan McLean on 22 May 1772 was granted by Josiah Martin, the Royal Governor of N.C., "150 acres Anson (Anson County) on the E. branches of Silver Run (creek) including his own improvement". Note: Richmond County, NC and Montgomery County NC were cut out of Anson County in 1779 during the Revolution. The "Silver Run" creek referred to in the grant begins in Montgomery County and runs back of the Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church, established in the 1770's, located in Richmond County but within 100 yards of the Montgomery County line. The minute book of another old Presbyterian Church in Richmond County, The Harmony Presbyterian Church indicates that in 1802 Mt. Carmel Presbyterian Church was known as "McLean's" (church). It is my belief that it was named after the Duncan McLean who settled near the church on Silver Run Creek. Note: The Harmony Presbyterian Church is today's Ellerbe, NC Presbyterian Church.
My G.G. grandfather, John D. McLean, native of Scotland, died in Richmond County NC in the spring of 1846. He acquired land in the 1790 about 15 miles distance from where the above Duncan lived on Silver Run Creek. It is possible that my John D.(uncan) McLean was a son of Duncan of Silver Run Creek. Any information will be appreciated. GRANT (RAINWATER):

Seek information on MORGAN BROWN, JR, family and descendants. Sometime around 1800 he and wife, MARY ANN GORDON (of Marlboro Co, SC), moved from either Richmond Co., NC; Anson Co., NC; or Marlboro Co., SC to Montgomery Co., TN. He appears to have lived in all three of these NC / SC areas prior to his move to TN. It is believed he was likely born in Anson Co., NC but was
married in Marlboro Co., SC. After moving to TN it appears his family lost contact with him, or at least no family records have been located giving information on what became of him and his family after reaching TN. Thanks, Joe McLaurin. P.O. Box 848, Rockingham, NC. 28380 SNEAD
Searching for any information regarding the descendants of Solomon SNEAD of Richmond County, NC. Born abt 1766, died after 1830. He is probably a son of Henly SNEAD (1736-1816). Solomon is listed in the NC Census of 1810 (wife + 9 children), NC Census of 1820 (wife + 5 children), and NC Census of 1830 (wife + 3 children). I suspect, but have no hard evidence, that three of his children may have been (Samuel S. SNEAD, Absalom SNEAD, and Phillip SNEAD. All of these men migrated to Georgia during the 1830's or early 1840's. Much of their families then migrated to Cherokee County, AL during the 1850's. Any information appreciated.

wife Sarah 40 yrs and children: Miltilda, Sarah Ann, George, Andrew Jackson, Baneta, and William. There may have been more children but did not persue the

Attention, all persons interested in the origins and descendants of Darby H. SWINNEY/SWEENEY --will written 18 Oct 1820 in Richmond County, NC. Darby only began to take up land in the Gum Swamp/Joe's Creek area (present day Scotland Co.) on the South Carolina line during the first few years of the nineteenth century. Before that, in 1800, he was an inhabitant of Liberty County, SC (now Marion), along with a John SWINNEY, justice of the peace for Marion. In 1790, he and John were living in Prince George's Parish, Georgetown District, SC--prob. also present day Marion Co. In 1810, in Richmond County census, he is called Darby SWINNEY, Esq. His will
and final accounting by executors Stephen PATE and James COLE, give his daughters in detail: Hannah, wife of James COLE, Honour, wife of Stephen PATE, (?), wife of Samuel PATE, (?) wife of Jacob MANGRAM or MANGUM, Mary, wife of (?) BETHEA, Elizabeth, wife of John MATTHESON, Sarah, wife of (?) GRAVES, Martha, wife of Joel REDGILL. He also had a son, probably the Alfred SWINNEY living near him in 1810 and 1820. That son had a son who is listed in the will, "Syrus SWINNEY." Darby is associated with the HENNEGAN family of Marion and Marlboro Dist., SC. He witnessed deeds for that family in Marion and that is where we find his middle initial, "H." His
full name was probably Darby HENNEGAN SWINNEY. A Darby HENNEGAN lived in Marlboro (1750--1826) and is buried there at Parnassus. What is the relationship between these two families? Bishop GREGG states that the HENNEGANs were originally SWINNEYs and changed their name. Is this true, or proveable? Would love to share information with any persons interested in this line. Thanks, Larry CATES, 702H Westchester Dr., High Point, NC 27262 BANDERFORD (MCRAE)

MOORE
I am in a desperate search to locate Benjamin Moore's parents. The following is the earliest information that I can find on Benjamin Moore:
Birth: 1769, Richmond Co., NC
Death: 1846
Burial: 1846
Religion: Quaker
Father: James MOOR
Mother: Druscilla
Married: Frances STUBBS
This was my fourth great grandfather. Has anyone heard of a James Moor and Druscilla in the Richmond Co., NC area during the mid 1700's? ....I am not really sure what their views were on slavery, however, Benjamin Moore owned a large plantation in Marlboro County, South Carolina....he was orphaned as a young child....noo ne knows anything about his parents.....other than they were
Quaker also. MCLEOD
I've come to a dead end in trying to research my family so I thought maybe someone out there could help. My great great grandfather was named Angus MCLEOD. All I know is that he settled in Hamilton Co., FL, but according to the 1860 census records, he originated in NC. I'm not sure if he was born there or lived there previously. As best I can figure out, he was born abt. 1810. Would any of you have an Angus McLeod in your research? I'd really appreciate hearing from you.
