Book excerpt: HISTORY OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA By William Ederington Contents Introduction Ordinaries and Probate Judges Clerks of Court Sherman's Army in the Rocky Mount Section David R. Evans - Richard Winn Revolutionary Soldiers - Lewis, Pickett, Gaither Sherman in Winnsboro The Lyles Family The Buchanans Creighton Buchanan W.W. Boyce The Feasters & Colemans: Installment #1 Installment #2 Installment #3 The Ederington Family Various Fairfield Families Some Prominent Fairfield Families The Woodward Family Index Excerpt from Introduction "Old people tell of what they have seen and done; children, of what they are doing; and fools, of what they intend to do." As I am now perhaps the only one now alive who knew some of the first settlers of Western Fairfield and a few of their immediate descendants, I may be pardoned for undertaking the ardous task of preserving for posterity the meagre knowledge I have retained of them from memory, besides what I can glean from "Mills Statistics of South Carolina," and "Woodward's Reminiscences." I am well aware of the fact that my homely phrasealogy will not bear the inspection of the hypercritic, but as I write for the masses, I shall be well compensated if I can please them. The time has past (sic) to compile a complete historical biography of Fairfield District, as important material has been lost by the death of the old settlers and no record kept of important facts. The reader will pardon the meagre account given of some men and families, as my knowledge of them being limited personally and historically. Where I have given full biographies, my correspondents furnished the material, or I knew them personally, or received my information from history. As I was born in the extreme Western portion of Fairfield and my correspondence limited in the middle and eastern portion of it, the reader will pardon the omission in this work, of any mention being made of persons fully entitled to a record in history. The author will take pleasure in yet giving them a place in an appendix to the little work. But for urgent solicitations from friends I should not have undertaken this book at my advanced stage of life, and hope the readers of it will pardon any errors or omissions. The friends to the work have been very kind in furnishing material for it. I will here state that during my ilness I was greatly indebted to a young friend, a descendant of two prominent families spoken of in this work, for the interest manifested in copying my reminiscences, and letters from correspondents, relative to my book. . . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Download or read book Carolinian Robertsons The Family of Adjutant General T R Robertson of Winnsboro SC and Charlotte and Raleigh NC written by Christopher Hunt Robertson, M.Ed. and published by Christopher Hunt Robertson. This book was released on 2022-11-17 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. R. Robertson was born and reared in Winnsboro, SC. The first decade of his professional career, begun during Reconstruction, was spent in Winnsboro; then, he and his wife, Cora Johnston Robertson, moved their family 70 miles north to Charlotte, NC. *** In North Carolina, a vigorous assault on the practice of racial lynching occurred during the 1905-1909 term of Governor Robert Glenn. Appointed by Gov. Glenn, T. R. Robertson served as Adjutant General of the North Carolina National Guard. During the 18-year period from 1891 to 1909, T. R. Robertson repeatedly used the military resources under his command to prevent lynchings and maintain the rule of law. As Adjutant General, he directed over 2000 men to protect the state's population. As Gov. Glenn’s primary military advisor, he helped to militarily lead the Governor’s successful campaign to permanently turn the state’s tide of racial lynching. *** Cora helped to establish two institutions that remain important to Charlotte today. In 1891, a local newspaper referred to her as “the prime mover” in transforming the disbanding Charlotte Female Institute into Long’s Seminary, which would evolve into Queen’s University. She also became an eight-year officer of North Carolina’s first general hospital, St. Peter’s Hospital, and served as its president from 1894 to 1897. (St. Peter's Hospital evolved into today's massive Carolinas Medical Center.) *** The children of Cora and T. R. provided leadership in the military and in local and state historical and literary associations. They were also co-developers of large-scale commercial projects in uptown Charlotte. *** This book also introduces several earlier Robertson generations of Fairfield County, SC, and related families. Two prominent members of Fairfield's Robertson clan are featured: Confederate leader Judge William Ross Robertson, and his presumed cousin, Union leader Thomas James Robertson. After becoming one of his state’s wealthiest planters, Thomas became an abolitionist, a two-term U.S. Senator, and a major rebuilder of South Carolina’s capital city, Columbia.
