Subject: SC Roots-Coates, Craigs and Bledsoes From: Becky Gregg Date: May 22, 1998 Dear Steve and all- I have been lurking long enough. I had best explain myself. I have had major, mega bucks type problems with my computer. The company repairing it transferred all my electronic files to their computer and it crashed losing all my files including over 6000 names in my FTM. (My back-ups did not work either) At least I have hard copies of most things. I joined this list for three reasons. 1. I do have one of my family lines originating in SC. It is William Coats who emigrated from Scotland in the 1700s and was in the Camden district. I know little of him or his family. I also have a number of Bledsoe relatives in the state. (If you have Bledsoe kin then you are kin to all Bledsoes) I am always looking for cousins in these families. 2. I am not a native South Carolinian but I do now live in the Upstate and want to learn more SC history. 3. I am a monitor for the Craig rootsweb and corresponding secretary for the Craig Society for Genealogical Research. I look for any and all information on the Craig families. If I find any then I send it to our rootsweb in hopes that it will help one of our Craig cousins. We have a number of Craig 'orphans' that we are trying to connect to any of our established lines. We are also trying to put as much information as we can on all Craigs in one place so that future generations will have access to all of our work. If you have any Coates, Bledsoes or Craigs in your families then I would like to hear from you. In my own personal library, I have several books on the families in Culpeper County, VA, Bedford County, TN and Wilcox County, AL. If you have kin or think that you have kin in any of these counties, then I would be happy to look for them in these books. Just be patient... My computer is still not up to par and family responsibliites do take some of my time.
