Research Notes - Famous & Infamous, ver. 1.1

Abraham Clark - signer of Declaration of Independence from NJ - great grandson of Richard Clark 3. Abraham b. 2/15/1726, d. 9/15/1794 age 50 at signing, lawyer, surveyor, buried Presbyterian Church cemetery, Rahway, NJ.
"A Jersey boy from birth and the only child in a farming familiy, Clark did not receive much formal education. Yet, he made the most of his limited access to teachers and books and found work as a local surveyor and resident go-to guy for legal advice. Though apparently he was never admitted to the bar, Clark was known as the "Poor Man's Counselor" due to his willingness to help folks with land disputes, mortgages, and other small legal matters, often for no payment. . . .

Excerpts:
Clarence Lathrop has been the ferryman at Darwin for the past 10 years. Now approaching retirement age, he had first ferried here as an 18-year-old lad when his great-uncle Jim Lathrop was the ferryman. Following an Army career, Clarence was employed by John Deere, Marshall and Trailway Bus Co. before coming back to the ferry, for full-time employment in his later years.

Notebook - Military #1, Part 1

Andrea, Leonardo. South Carolina Colonial Soldiers & Patriots, Columbia, SC: Daughters of Colonial Wars in the State of South Carolina, 1952.
Colonial Counties of South Carolina -This section is added for the benefit of people who research in the colonial period of South Carolina. A man who is listed in Berekley County may be found in Union or Orangeburg while a man in Colleton County may be found in Edgefield.
South Carolina had four colonial counties of Granville, Berkeley, Colleton and Craven. These counties at first extended fifty miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean.  When settlements began further inland, the counties were extended to the North Carolina line. These counties do not have any of hte functions of the modern counties. Charleston was the county seat of all four counties. From 1670 to 1782-85 all court records, will, administrations and deeds were recorded in Charleston and are still to be found there in the Charleston County Court House.
