Ginny, I have no BASKIN but thought you might be interested in these two
references to him in Unification of a Slave State: The Rise of the Planter
Class in the South Carolina Backcountry, 1760- 1808 by Rachel N. Klein, UNC
Press, 1990:

p. 138
"Two former regulators became the objects of public criticism. Newberry
residents challenged James Mayson for sitting on their court even though he
resided in Edgefield, and in 1790, a man named Robert Dumville insisted that
Andrew Baskin had been guilty of extortion and neglect of duties while serving
as a Lancaster County justice. The attorney general refused to prosecute,
however. "

p. 140 in footnote 67
"The six Regulators named as county judges were Andrew Baskins, Samuel Boykin,
George Hicks, Moses Kirkland, James Mayson, and Claudius Pegues. See House
Jour., Mar. 21, 1785, in Thompson et al., eds., Journals of the House, 1785-
1786, 272- 274.
