Hugh Lavendar immigrated 1771 Antrim NI to S.C.
Hugh Lavender.Elusive ancestry; unable to locate anything earlier than his immigration to S.C. 1771.The info I have been able to locate on him (from the Alabama Historial Quarterly) gives the text of his Revolutionary War pension application, stating he was born Nov. 11, 1754 in County Antrim, Ireland, near Ballymena; landed 1771 in South Carolina and settle on Wateree Creek in Camden District near Fairfield. Volunteered service in the Revoluation and served at various times until the end of the war, about two years in all. It lists where he served, and that he died in 1834, and is buried at Concor with no marker to his grave. In his will it lists his children as: Margaret Lavender, Sarah Bennett, Robert S. Lavender, John Lavender, Ruth Barbour, Mary ? (last name indistinguishable), Nancy McDaniel, (my ggg grandmother) and Levi Lavender. He also left money to James Campbell and Lucy Lavender, but does not state the relationship. In the John Levi Lavender's family Bible, he lists his parents as Hugh Lavender and Rebecca Smith, born 1759 in Ireland, married 1777. I have a little more info on two of his sons, John Levi Lavender and Robert S. Lavender.
