| WAINWRIGHT |
I have been told by a true historian that my Wainwright ancestors came
from or through Beaufort County. I was given a name which I can't spell or
pronounce, but it sounded like "Ficus" or some such-Ficus Wainwright as being
possible father of Hastings Dixon, Thomas, Samuel, other? Wainwrights. This
would have been in 1780 or so. There was a Dixon connection, possibly wife's
maiden name. She first or second was also married to a Singleton. Any clues?

Looking for descendants of Elisha WALL, believed to be the
brother of Rev. Howell WALL, who moved to Amite Co, MS about 1811. Elisha
was on the 1790 and later censuses for Beaufort Co, SC. He is listed with
one male over 16, 5 males under 16, and 5 females. Possible sons: Elisha
C., Howell G., Joseph, Wimberly J. (they are found on the 1830 census of
Beaufort Co, SC). Is he also know as Elijah, or are Elijah and Elisha Wall
two different people? (4/24/99 1:59:22 PM) |

| WEBB |
Pleasant (Plesent) WEBB was born about 1765. We suspect that
he and his family may have entered the USA via Beaufort, South Carolina.
He then appears in North Carolina, Kentucky, and Ohio. He died between 1830
and 1840 in Ohio, USA. Around 1800 Pleasant and family came in to the Ohio
valley from Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1803 he was in Scioto County,
Ohio and was said to be a notorious character, said to be a Tory during the
Revolutionary War. Pleasant was in Greenup County, Kentucky in 1820 and in
Lawrence County, Ohio in 1830, he did not appear in the 1840 census, so it
is believed he died between 1830-1840.

| WELLS |
I have an ancestor who was born in the Beaufort District in 1829. His
name was James Theodore Wells. His parents were J.T. Wells and Sara
C. Wells. In 1854 he married Sophie Mary Sweat at Okatie. They moved to Savannah
where he was a merchant until he volunteered for service in the Georgia troops,
CSA. Through the Wells Family DNA Project I have made a connection
to an ancestor who lived in Kent, England in the late 1600s. Between then
and 1829 I have no family information. I thought that by adding this name
to your list I might be able to find-out more of my family history. |
