Subject: Indian ancestors,Laurens,SCbef 1814 From: Austinart Date: June 28, 1998 From: (Helen Austin, Decatur, AL) [email protected] What records may be found for Indian ancestors who lived in the vicinity of Old 96 District, or Laurens Co, SC during the colonial period and up to 1820. I have a Mary Catherine"Polly" whose father was "said" to be a Dick TINNY or TE-NE-AH. Some say she was "Polly" BONDS. Some say her mother was a KEZIAH. All (interviews with descendants) say she was full blood indian, perhaps Cherokee. Certainly Polly was born in 1814 in Laurens Co, SC. She married Hugh Mahaffey HENDERSON b 1814 in Laurens Co, SC and son of James. They probably married in Gwinett Co, GA bef 1834. This would have been before the government records of Indians, right ? Or did the early SC government or individual counties keep any census or records for the Indians in their district ? I would appreciate some advice for trying to find her ancestry. I do see BONDS, TINNY, TINSLEY in the census records of both Laurens Co, and for Gwinett Co, GA where they removed before 1830. ==== SCROOTS Mailing List ==== Go To: #, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, Main |
