Miscellaneous Lathrops

Miscellaneous unconnected Lathrops - this is taken from the Lathrop Family Wiki which will be shutting down in January 2019. 

Clark County, Illinois
Walker, Paul. Last Ferry on Wabash is at Darwin, Lawrenceville Daily Record, Jan. 26, 1976
Article about the Lathrop family who ran the ferry, Clarence Lathrop age 65 (b. 1911), Charles Lathrop age 71 (b. 1905)

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.
