Posted on April 8, 2011 at 1:07am 0 Comments

I' have a blog entitled: The Grimke-Drayton notes. All you have to do is type the name in the search engine, and you will be linked with the blog. It's a mixture of poetry and introduction to my genealogical research. Check out my website - http://www.grimke.co.uk - for information on my family's roots in South Carolina. I'm hoping to post on the blog articles with information on the families on which I've been researching.

I'm going to be in the…

Yes, Mary Owings and Richard Owings are mulatto children of Madame Sophie E. McAlpin and slave trader Richard M. Owings. Daniel McAlpin is Amartintha "Minty" Draytons son - trying to establish if Sophie and Daniel are brother and sister. And why the use of the term madame. Sophie as so light she was able to pass through a whites only Charleston funeral home. Her son Richard came to Toxteth Park, Liverpool - a good many family still live in the area. Richard and his son Daniel Owings may well be the only mulattos to serve with white British soldiers during WWI.

Greetings Bill,
Thanks for the invitation to join the group. Although I'm interested in learning as much as I can, however, am afraid I can't promise anything at the moment since I'm pretty well tied up with my partner's prostate cancer & my 86 yr old Mother's ongoing health problems. Still, please keep me posted?

Hello Bill, yes the name Vanderhorst is Dutch. I believe some of my ancestors were enslaved by Vanderhorst slave owners in Charleston. The Vanderhorst slave owners had plantations in Christ Church Parish which is now Mt. Pleasant. They largest plantation was probably on Kiawah Island SC. I have found many of my ancestors in various records. My goal is to find the common link that would connect all Vanderhorst and Vandross with connections to the Sea Islands.

Hello Bill, I have ties to Charleston, Berkeley, and Georgetown SC. Are you familiar with the surname Vanderhorst ? I have found some records and information from ancestry.com and other sources.
