If I only had the money my self I could really get it started but since I do not and my work depends on other people, that is one reason why my work is slow in progressing.

Leonardo Andrea, of Columbia, a well known Genealogist, called it an "excel- lent source book," and said those who desire to trace family records will find it "an invaluable aid."
William L. Glover, of Charleston, curator of the South Carolina Historical So- ciety, called the Abbeville book "a splendid piece of work and a valuable contri- bution to the historical records of South Carolina."
Pearl S. McFall, Historian, Fort Prince Chapter, D. A. R., Pickens, S. C., past corresponding secretary, past genealogist, State S. C. D. A. R., "states that it is an authentic reference book for genealogy seekers." The Fort Prince Chapter, D. A. R., Pickens, S. C., has gone on record with their approval of Miss Young's untiring efforts to place these facts before the public in an easy, legibile form for lineage workers.
Previous to the year 1768 the only court held in South Carolina was in the city of Charleston. In that year the state was divided into six districts, and courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas were thereafter held in these districts. A court house was established in Ninety-Six District at Cambridge. (See Statues, Vol. 7 P. 197) Ninety-Six District included ten of our present counties, namely, Abbe- ville, Edgefield, Greenwood, Laurens, Union, Spartanburg, Greenville, Anderson, Pickens and Oconee. Many of our prominent up country families emigrated across the mountains and settled at Long Cane in Abbeville County, Ninety Six District. Among these were the Calhouns, Norris, Anderson, Pickens, Noble and many other noted names. The Lower Long Cane Church was established by Patrick Calhoun, the father of our statesman, John C. Calhoun. The upper was the cradle of the A. R. P. Church in South Carolina.
