Subject: JOHN HENTY [Hentie] deputy surveyor of SC mid 1700s From: Edgar Taylor Date: February 25, 1999 A repeat of a query I posted last year- John HENTY or HENTIE was one of the early deputy surveyors of SC - early to mid 1700's. He apparently was close to the BALL, CHICKEN and SERRE' families as he made their surveys and witnesed their wills and other transactions. But I have found little else on him. He apparently died intestate as I have found no will, and his creditor- one of the ELIAS BALL- sought and was appointed the executor for his estate. I have not found an inventory of what he had at his death. He had owned land in Berkeley Co and surrounding.counties and was in Georgetown for a time. I suspect either his sister or daughter Elizabeth married as his first wife WILLIAM CHICKEN. If so John Henty would be an ancestor of mine. I welcome any pieces of data on John Henty which any one may come across in their research. His name appears on many early surveys of a number of different people as is found in the Combined Alphabetical Index for SC records..
