I am trying to find parents or siblings of James Sanders Walker born Oct 1802 or Elizabeth Padgett born 3/1807, both born in Colleton County South Carolina. They were married there on May 1827. They migrated to Aucilla Jefferson County Florida at some point and both died there. He died in 1886 and she died in 1871

Mary Adaline Walker, born in SC in 1822, is a direct ancestor of mine. I believe her father was Jessee Walker, also born in SC, about 1801. He married Elizabeth ? probably about 1821. Other children were Henry b. 1824, daughter ? b. 1826-1829, James I. b. 1827. All these children were born in SC. Between 1827-1830 the family emigrated to Jefferson County, FL, and the following children were born: William A. b. 1830, Jane E. b. 1832, Joseph b. 1834, George B. or M. b. 1837, Archibald J. b. 1838, William B. b. 1840, and David L. b. 1842. In the 1830 federal census for Jefferson County, FL, Jessee is listed near Charles and James. I think they might all be brothers. It's likely there is some connection -- please let me know what you think. Thanks.

Sorry I do not have any info that might help you. Your Jesse is the right age to be a brother or cousin of my James but that is there generation I am searching. My best lead are the descendants of Isham WALKER born 1730 in Colleton county SC. The two oldest sons of Isham are Littleberry and Isham are well documented in the Wiregrass Ga book and their families do not include your Jesse or my James. The four youngest son, Ansel b about 1775, Elisha b about 1777, Joel b about 1779 and William b about 1781 all in Colleton Co SC are not well documented and are my best lead.

The 1850 Jefferson Co Fla census page 14a shows a Jesse WALKER born about 1800 with a wife elizabeth and 8 children that you describe. There is also a Berry WALKER born 1812 in SC with a wife Mary A. and 5 childred. Berry appears in other Fla census as LB or Littleberry. I am guessing that he may be a brother or cousin of my James and possibly your Jesse. According to the Family Search website Littleberry's father is Joel WALKER and mother is Elizabeth Carter. I am assuming that this Joel is the son of Isham b 1730 but have not been able to prove this.

The 1820 and 1830 Colleton Co SC census have some leads but do not answer the key questions.

My Great Grandfather James WALKER moved from SC to Jefferson Co Fla between 1828 & 1830 since his second child Nancy was born in Fla on 8/12/1830 and his first child Delilah was born in SC 9/28/1828.

If we can find the wives and children of the four WALKER brothers, I believe that we would define two more generations of our families.

I to am searching the family history. I do know that my grndfther john Dubois married a woman by the name of Elizabeth Padgett. They had 7 or eight chikdren. He then married Nattire Padgett and they had 7 children. I hve just started my search for this side of the family, i do kow tha alor of them are buried in Pine Cemetery in Waltersboro, SC.
If you have any info please send to me. i could use help, considering I am in Texas and it is hard for me to travel to SC.

Thank

What dates do you have for JOHN DUBOIS? Birth? Death? Marriages?

I am researching all DUBOIS in S.C.

Elizabeth DUBOIS Russo

I too have Colleton Padgetts. Can you give a time frame for these folks? I am also in TX.

What i hve is sketchy. My mother Clara DuBois was born 3/2/23 in the Couty of Colleton SC Township of Barxton? Her birth ceritificate is not real clear. My mothers mother was Hattie DuBois I speeled it wron earlier. My grandparents are burried atPinel Cemetery in Ruffin SC.
When I look at the age of my grandfather on my moms BC I think it say he is 53 Hattie was 24. My mother Clara was the second child for Hattie and John and the 9 or tenth child of John at this time I do not have middle initals of either grandparents. Hope you can help

My mom Clara Dubois was born 3/02/23. My grandmother Hattie Padgett was 23. john was 53? She was born in Colleton County. John Dubois and Hattie Dubois Padgett are buried in Pinel Cemetery in Ruffin SC. This is all the info I can give right now.

We are about two generations away from hooking up. My research covers 1696 to about 1820 in SC at which time my gggrandfather migrated to Alabama. Census records could give us a start. It might be a while before I get back to searching this line, though.

Debbie, Elizabeth, Ann, Walter,

This is all interesting, but I don't have enough information to make any connections. I've got some sparse Colleton Co Padgett ancestry on my family tree at:

I welcome all of you to visit the site and see if you can find any connections on your own. If you do, or if you just want to talk about Padgett ancestry and connections, please contact me at smears@zianet.com . I haven't actively researching Padgetts lately but would like to do so.
With My Regards to you all, Steve Mears
