I am searching for records regarding the birth and death of Delilah C Rowell b. 1848 d. 1872, or her parents. She was the daughter of Rebecca Barton Smith of Hampton County, SC and Valentine Rowell. In 1847, they were members of the Black Creek Baptist Church in Hampton County. Rebecca Barton Smith was the daughter or William Y. Smith and Elizabeth Peeples both of Hampton County, SC.
Rebecca Barton Smith had two children that I know of prior to her 2nd marriage to Jacob Alonzo Long in c.1850. Her 1st child was William Rowell b. 1845 d. 1860. Her 2nd child was Delilah Rowell (Nickname Rila) b. 1848 d. 1872-after the birth of her daughter Ella Rebecca DeLoach.
Black Creek Church minutes record the following:
27 November 1847 The church met prayer by Bro. WY Smith. Proceeded to business the case of Sister Youmans continued to our next conference. Bro. Wm. Y Smith and E Smith his wife Bro G. W. and E Smith his wife Bro Vallintine Rowel and R. B Smith /Rowel/ his wife & Sister Catharine Rosier & Peggy belonging to Wm. Y. Smith all applied for a letter of dismission which we granted them...Adjourned
(Family oral history states: They left with family members for Florida.)
27 January 1849 the church met after a sermon by Brother Mitchel followed by J.G. Bowers then proceeded to business. welcomed home our Floridian brothers and sisters. Adjourned (Wm. Y Smith begins to reappear on the Black Creek Church Records)
(Family oral history states: They returned to Black Creek Baptist Church without Valentine Rowell.)
Are there any family records or church records which refer to Delilah as "Rila"? It is believed that Delilah "Rila" Rowell married James F. DeLoach after 1870. They bore one child, Ella Rebecca DeLoach, who was raised by James Franklin Deloache's parents:Michael and Rebecca DeLoach.
Any information you may have to clarify this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! Pam
