Hi Ray,
I'm another amateur who has been confused by the conflict of information about John III. One camp says the man married Ann Agnes or Mary Agnes Mangum and Elizabeth Persons, siring 15 children between them. Reddick is believed to be the grandson of this man through Jesse or another John. Some say he is the son of John son of Jesse. I, too have a difficulty with John son of Jesse due to the extreme youth needed to make Reddick that John's son. A better fit, and this is purely conjecture, is Reddick as son of John b. in 1738 the last son of John III and Ms Mangum. Again a new problem occurs. Most family groups stayed together unless there was a "situation" in the family, unlike today. John and Ann and later Elizabeths children all went to western SC in the Spartanburg-Greenville Area. Second Wife Elizabeth's children went to Kentucky or Columbia Co. GA. I found no indication, through sifting through other people's notes, that they went to Darlington. Now other information showed a John b 1710 who married an Elizabeth P. (Persons perhaps) anda Mary Yeates in 1738. Evidently this Elizabeth gave him no children and Ms. Yeates was the mother of John who married Ann Reddick and the rest is history. Some say John married 3 times. Some say that there were 2 Johns born in 1710 and that Elizabeth P was not Elizabeth Persons, so Mary Yeates doesn't even come into the equation of the Greenville Langstons. If that is true, who are the second John's ancestors??? I'd like to get this cleared up by someone who has access to the Darlington records. My visits to Sardis never include time to go to the courthouse. (Elderly mom and aunts need to visit each other and there's only 1 car for the lot of us) Rest of the time I'm stuck in Ohio. Have you come up with anything more?
Mary
