Dear Members of Fairfield County Genealogy Society:

I realize that many of you live outside of South Carolina but I would like to ask each one of you for support in 1997.

We began meeting in August, 1987 so we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary in August, 1997. What I'm about is the lack of cooperation among the members. We were host to the state convention in October, but out of 11 0 members, only 12 members were present and they worked hard. I really appreciate them. Six members were present at our September meeting and five were present at the October meeting.

'The officers are supposed to serve for only two years. This will be he fourth year for our Vice President and Treasurer and third year for the President and Secretary. No one is willing to step into these jobs. This is the time of year to renew your dues. As you renew your membership for 1997, please write your opinion of the future of our chapter. I don't feel that five or six people, who are at the meeting, should decide the fate of your society.

Please tell me why you do not attend the meetings. What do you feel we can do to improve our meetings? Do we need to change the meeting date? Do you have ideas for programs?

Our next meeting will be held at the First United Methodist Church on Sunday, January 26, 1997 at 3:00 p.m. Please be there.

May 1997 be everything you wish it to be.

Mary Rice McMaster - President

SHEDD

I am looking for any information on James Thompson Shedd who lived in Faitfield Co., SC in the late 1700's and early 1800's. Contact: Pamela Armstrong, Rt. 4, Box 456, Fulton, Mississippi 38843

I would be interested in knowing if your Society has any information and/or a family tree of a Jonathan Betton Mickle of Fairfield County, who was the father of the James Rutland Mickle (1 860-Abt 1925) who mamed Mary E. Feemster (1 865-Aft 1906). Jonathan Belton Mickle may have married Mary Montgomey, d/o Green 6. Montgomery. I know that the Mickle's have lived in Fairfield County since 1790. Please let me know if you have anything. Enclosed is what information I have on this family. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the information that you sent me on the family of Jonathan Belton Mickle of Fairfield County. It was a great help in my research. 1 have enclosed an updated Mickle family outline which was compiled from family records and the information you sent me plus a brief summary of their lives.

Some of what you sent me suggested that Jonathan Belton Mickle was the son of Joseph Mickle (1720-1784) of Ireland, but that can't be correct since Jonathan Belton Mickle was born in 1819. Instead, Jonathan Belton would have had to be the son of Joseph Mickle, Jr. (17751835), the son of Joseph Mickle of Ireland. I came to this conclusion for three reasons. The first reason is that Jonathan Belton's father is listed as a Joseph Mickle, the second is that Joseph Mickle, Jr.3 family was born around this period of time (181 9), and third, the mother of this family was Martha BELTON.

In your letter to me, you mentioned some wills. Are there any Mickle wills available? Also, are any of the Mickle properties still standing and/or are there any photos. of paintings of the Mickles? I would be greatly interested in any of these. Contact: Ray M. Henderson, 7341 Pine Lake Lane, Charlotte, NC 28277

Mickle Family Summary

Joseph Mickle (1720-1 784) was born in Ireland and with his wife, Miss Hyde, came to America in the 1750's and settled, with a Quaker colony, near Camden, SC with a royal land grant. 'Their children included John, Jonathan, Joseph, Jr., 'Thomas, Robert, Rebecca and Sarah. Major Joseph Mickle was a patriot and soldier in the American Revolution. Two of his sons, Major Joseph Mickle, Jr. and Captain John Mickle served in the the War of 1812.

One of these sons, Major Joseph Mickle, Jr. (1 775-1 835), married Martha Belton, daughter of John Belton and Mary English. The Belton and English families, were also part of the Quaker colony that had settled near Camden. During the Revolution, these two families-remained loyal to the crown and in fact sided with England. After the Revolution, their properties were confiscated and they were exiled to Florida but later returned.

Joseph, Jr. and Martha Beltor1 had a large family and one of their younger sons was Jonathan Belton Mickle (1 81 9-1 892). Jonathan Belton, a lawyer, first married Sarah Montgomery and they had one daughter. They, like many of the Mickles, lived in Fairfield County. Later, he married Ann Ellen Graham (1829- 1889). He was a Officer in the Confederate Army and served in Charleston during the Civil War.

After the war he became a Methodist minister. Rev. Mickle did mission work in Virginia and Tennessee and returned to South Carolina in 1873, where he raised a large family in York County.

One of Jonathan Belton Mickle's sons, James Rutland Mickle (1 860-1 929), a house carpenter, married Mary Feemster (1 865-1 943), and raised his family in York County.

'The oldest son of James Rutland Mickle was Samuel Russell Mickle (1884- 1918). He married Gertrude Mayhew of Virginia. When he got a job with the railroad, they moved to Charlotte, North Carolina. He died of pneumonia at the age of 36 and left three children, Samuel Russell, Kathryn Gertrude and Harry Lee (Buck).

Samuel Russell Mickle, born in 1914, attended UNC and married Polly Lohr. He worked in the insurance industry until his recent retirement. They have two children and four grandchildren.

Kathryn married Dennis Gray,who is now retired from the trucking industry. They have one daughter and three grandsons.

Buck, the youngest, was born in 1918. He died in Europe during World War II.

Queries from: The Messenger

Seeking info about Noah Phillips and his wife Margaret (hlh #765 on the 1850 Kershaw County Census. Would like to find Noah's parents and also Margaret's. Also seeking the parents of Francis Willis Vincent. Both his parents died when he was young and I have no information on them or his siblings. I have some possibilities but no proof. There were two Frank Vincents listed on the 1870 Census that could be him, one is the son of William & Missouri, and the other the son of Mary. I'm leaning more toward Mary being his mother as I cannot find her on the 1880 census. Mary is listed as head of household on both the 1860 and 1870 Census ... who was her husband? Frank Vincent married Elizabeth H. Phillips, dlo Noah Phillips. Their children were: John Roach, Arthur, Bessie, Effie, Reese, Maude, Lee, Ethel and Brice Vincent. Contact: Susan Mahoney, P.O.
