Everything but the kitchen sink.

Sephardic Jews have lived in the state for more than 300 years,(*) (*) (*) especially in and around Charleston (*). Until about 1830, South Carolina had the largest population of Jews in North America. Many of South Carolina’s Jews have assimilated into Christian society, shrinking Judaism down to less than 1% of the total religious makeup. In addition, Roman Catholicism is growing in South Carolina due to immigration from the North.

Here is what I believe to be the connection between Elizabeth Lincoln and President Abe Lincoln (1st cousins once removed).

Catherine Rice, (my GGGgrandmother) d/o David Rice & Elizabeth Lincoln, would have been Abe’s 2nd cousin, as follows:

Catherine Rice < Elizabeth LINCOLN & David Rice < Thomas LINCOLN & Elizabeth Casner < John LINCOLN & Rebecca Flowers (common ancestors)

President Abraham Lincoln < Thomas LINCOLN & Nancy Hanks < Abraham LINCOLN & Bathsheba Herring < John LINCOLN & Rebecca Flowers (common ancestors)

hope this helps.

Clinkscales Ancestors-Need Confirmation

Posted by: D.M. Weldon Date: October 24, 1998 at 08:55:58

of 432

My paternal grandmother was a Clinkscales. I have the following lineage I hope to confirm plus get any information on other sons and daughters:

Adam Clinkscales – born circa 1700 in Glasgow, Scotland, died c. 1730 in Maryland. Was a tobacco farmer. Married Mary Prenton (?) who died c. 1760.

Adam, Jr. – born circa 1720 in Glasgow, Scottland, died 1794. Married Ann (Bucher?).

William Franklin Clinkscales – born 11/24/1777 in Charles Co., MD, died 11/24/1859 in Honea Path, SC. Farmer. Buried next to Frances Clinkscales in Clinkscales Cemetery, 5 miles north of Honea Path near Broadmouth Creek.

Berry Clinkscales – born 12/25/1813 in Honea Path. Died 1/19/1874. Farmer. Moved from Forsyth, GA, to Vincent, AL in 1862. Buried at Macedonia. Heading reads Berry, not William Berry.

Asa Franklin Clinkscales – born 6/10/1850 in Walker Co., GA. Died 5/01/1921 in Sherman, TX. Farmer. Married Sarah Ellen Hicks (b. 6/20/1855, d. 11/16/1936 in Sherman, TX) 6-27-1875. Children were Viola, Adelia, Laura Mae, Mary Athel, Esker C. and Edger B. (twins), Myrtle, Matilda, and Jessie.

I knew some of the children listed above and have pictures and information on them. I also have an old picture or two likely to be from the generation of Berry Clindscales.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Wade,

I can see you need some more Cox info. I am attaching a genealogy report for

a few generations. These people can mostly be verified in the wills of

Anderson Co. (and Abbeville for Lucious). It would be so WONDERFUL to have a

double descendency! You are also really lucky to live at the source of these

records.

As a matter of fact, just this week someone gave me a reference I would LOVE

to have some pages from!! I assume you are in the Anderson Co Library

sometime? Would you consider copying the page that references the following:

Francis Clinkscales b 1748 m Mary Franklin b ca 1732 (dau of Wm.

Franklin, son of Francis Boucher Franklin – member of Durham Parish

Vestry in 1776)

See, “Some Clinkscales History…and Genealogy of Lawrence Sebastian

Clinkscales”. (Book in Library in Anderson, SC)

I assume this is something about the Franklins, If you’d copy that, I’ll

send you my whole GED!

At any rate, I hope this much helps you.

Regards,

Mary Ann Rhodes
