Hi,

Thought I'd give this query another try, has been almost two years since
the original posting so maybe someone has come across the name since then.

I am trying to find information and/or descendants of the Timmons family
consisting of three brothers, Thomas, Richard and George (born in Ireland
to a Quaker family), and according to what few records I have found, all
planters, residing with their families in St. Bartholomews Parish, Colleton
County as early as the 1730's and possibly the mid 1720's.

These boys were born to George Timmons son of Richard and Mary Turner
daughter of Thomas Turner, all Quaker folk from the area of Lurgan, Co.
Armagh, Ireland.

The Will written in June of 1756 by Thomas who died February 1761, makes no
reference to a wife or children of his own but does mention his eldest
brother Richard and brother George (appears he may have resided with
Thomas) and his three sons Thomas, George and John;   brother John of
Baltimore County near Joppa, Maryland and sister Sarah Gallery of Lurgan,
County Armagh, Ireland.

Eldest brother Richard died October 1761, his Will drawn May 1760 mentions
present wife Mary Ann and children (present and others) Thomas, John,
Richard, Mary and Sarah.

Also found amongst the Land Records of St. Bartholomew Parish 1764-1769, a
Thomas, Elizabeth and Hannah Timmons but do not know for sure if these
folks are somehow related. A plat map (1769) in which these folk are
mention also refers to an area called "Timmons Swamp".

Any clue, no matter how small, will be deeply appreciated for beyond this
point, with the exception of one possible military reference, we have not
been able to locate the smallest tidbit regarding any of them. 

Thank you,

George and Mary Timmons
