We are researching the Young/Marchbanks/Porter/Moseley/Chapman/Connelly/Banks
 lines in South Carolina.  We are obtaining more information but  the Moseley
 connection has  the most mystery. 

Our tentative lineage  follows:

1. Levi (W) Young b. August  27, 1758  in Rocksbury Township, Morris County,
 NJ; d Feb 3, 1838;  m Mar 15, 1782 to Nancy Marchbanks  b.  Jan 18, 1755,  d
 abt 1843. According to info in Rev War pension 9040, they first settled along
 the Pacolet River  near the Marchbanks family in Union District during the Rev
 War. Levi and Nancy Young later moved to Pickens County where they died in
 1838  and 1843, respectively.  Burial sites not known.

2. Stephen Young b Oct.25, 1788 d 1829; m abt 1800 to Rebecca Porter  b Feb.
 25, 1788, d unknown. Stephen Young died in 1829. In the 1850 census, Rebecca
 is listed as Rebecca Chapman  and  married  to Enoch Chapman. Burial sites not
 known.

3. Sarah E. Young b 1829 same year  as death of father  Stephen Young, d in
 early 1900s and is buried in Pickens County with husband J. Connelly. Burial
 site is Porter Methodist Church with  numerous Porter burial sites nearby.
 They had several children.

Family history is that first husband to be was a James Moseley. They had
 'jumped the broom' but were unmarried.  Two children were apparently born
 before Moseley died, possibly in a horse accident. The children were Eliza??
 and Joseph W. Young,  my ggrandfather.

4. Joseph Whitner Young b 25 June 1849 in Pickens County, d 22 Nov,1932 in
 Franklin County, Texas, m early 1870s to  AE(Alcy Emaline) Banks  who are
 buried  in Texas.  They migrated to Tx with children about 1880.  The rest of
 my lineage is in East Texas and Dallas, Tx areas.

Thanks to Leigh Smith, I now have new information to pursue re the Marchbanks
 lineage. I am also searching for history on James Moseley and  family.  I do
 know that the Young/Chapman/Moseley families lived close to each other  north
 of Pickens in Pickens County.

My ggrandfather  told family members that he was 1/4 Cherokee but there are no
 details.  We assume  that  our indian bloodline may tie to  Rebecca (Porter)
 Young (full Cherokee) or James Moseley (1/2 Cherokee).  An indian ancestor
 named Red Horse is also part of our verbal family history.

We would appreciate any assistance or  suggestions, particularly with  the
 Moseley and Porter families  and indian portions.
