Patricia, I found it at rootsweb.com mailing list for ADAIR-L. It was posted 5 jan 2006 at 15:57:50 by swalsh@internode.on.net. There was a related posting, also on rootsweb.com mailing list, at 5 Jan 2006 at 16:46:58.
I've also found a posting by a joan duke (on web site http://awt.ancestry.co.uk/cgi-bin.cgi?op=GET&db) ID 12743 re William LAW born North Ireland, died 1786 in Law Swamp, Near Kingstree SC, which comprises COMMENT FROM BOOK, "WILLIAM & JANE LAW and Some of Their Descendants," Lib of Congress No. Tx 1-583-619. An extract from the posting is quoted below.
"The 'William & Jane Law book' The William & Jane and family arrived in Charleston South Carolina in late 1763-1764 on a 'Bounty ship called "PRINCE HENRY".' The bounty ship got a land grant paid to the owner or Captain of the ship for their transportation to America. ...
"Following is the first known account we have of William and Jane Law in America and is reported as it is written in The Council Journal or the Legislative Journal of Colonial South Carolina. The Journal were originally in the Colonial Capitol in Charleston and are now housed in the South Carolina Department of Archives and History in Columbia. This account appears in Journal 30 on pages 20-31.
"SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS 25th January 1764. Present His excellency the Governor, For His Honor the Lord Governor. The Hon. Orville Beale, Henry Middleton and John Guararde.
The following petitioners for warrants of survey of lands on the bounty were presented and read.
James Leslie 100 acres William McElroy 100 acres
James Barr 300 John King 100
Agnes Barr 100 Jane Leslie 100
John McConnel 250 William Camlin 100
Margaret McConnel 100 Hugh Duff 100
George McConnel 100 William Law 400
James McConnel 100 John Law 100
John Montgomery 100 Thomas McConnel 100 .....
"Read also the Petitions of:
Anne Barr Robert McConnel
Joseph Barr Rachael McConnel
Hugh Barr Jane Law
Jane Barr Robert Law
Margaret McConnel George Law
Isaiah Law John Almond
Jane Law James Adair
Elizabeth Kennedy William Law
Robert Kennedy James Almond
"Setting forth that they also were Irish Protestants and lately arrived on the encouragement of the bounty therefore humble praying the same may be allowed them but it appearing that they had not paid for their passages..."
It appears that this posting was mainly about the LAW family, and that their tract of land was in CRAVEN COUNTY.
