Below are surnames of families who migrated from Abbeville County to Randolph Co., Illinois, in the early 1800's. These names were gleaned from Randolph Co. history books and other early records.
The following families, according to the history books, came from SC, "chiefly from Abbeville" (date in parentheses indicates year of arrival):
ANDERSON (1804) BEATTIE (1809) BORDERS (1816) CAMPBELL (1807) CLARK (1805) COCHRAN (1804) COX (1804) CROZIER (1806) DAVIS (1808) FOSTER (1808) FOWLER (1816) FULTON (1814) HENDERSON (1808) HILL (1804) HUGGINS (1803) IRWIN LACY (1804)
