CHESTER DISTRICT, SC EQUITY INDEX This index lists only the names of the major parties. Equity Court files frequently, but not always, contain specific family information. Equity bills for partitions and petitions for appointment of guardians, in particular, are of great genealogical value. Any of the equity files listed below can be ordered from the Reference and Research Division, South Carolina Department of Archives and History, P.O. Box 11669, South Carolina 29211-1669. As a first step, one would be well advised first to inquire as to the number of pages in the file of interest.

CHESTER DISTRICT, SC EQUITY INDEX

This index lists only the names of the major parties. Equity Court files frequently, but not always, contain specific family information. Equity bills for partitions and petitions for appointment of guardians, in particular, are of great genealogical value. Any of the equity files listed below can be ordered from the Reference and Research Division, South Carolina Department of Archives and History, P.O. Box 11669, South Carolina 29211-1669. As a first step, one would be well advised first to inquire as to the number of pages in the file of interest.

CHESTER DISTRICT EQUITY COURT RECORDS DIRECT AND CROSS INDICIES TO EQUITY BILLS

1820 - 1874 Transcribed by Dr. James L. Reid, 730 Walnut Hill Road, Campobello, SC 29322

Editor's Note: As stated at the beginning of the Greenville District Equity index, I cannot emphasize enough that this is only a listing of the major parties of these cases. An equity bill is a wealth of genealogical and historical information. Should you see an ancestor's name listed here, I encourage you to examine the equity bill in question closely.

1812 PENSION ABSTRACT FOR ELISHA & MARY REEVES

Contibuted by Marlene Seay Taylor, 703 Alberta Av., Spartanburg, SC 29316

Source: South Carolina Pension Abstracts of the Revolutionary War; War of 1812 and Indian Wars, Vol #12.

War of 1812 - South Carolina Service of Elisha Reeves and Mary Reeves #WO 7970

The files notes that the soldier served as a Captain in Charles Gant's company of South Carolina militia.

A Declaration was made in Washington County, Indiana on January 8, 1872 by Mary A. Reeves, age 78, in which she states she is the widow of Elisha Reeves who enlisted in the War of 1812 as a substitute for Thomas Dockers under Capt. Charles Grant of South Carolina in Union County in 1813 or 1814 and was honorably discharged atJohn's Island, South Carolina. The widow further stated she was married under the name of Mary Meridith to said Elisha Reeves on September 8, 1812 by Chyn McDougal in South Carolina and that her husband died in Lawrence County, Indiana on August 15, 1840.

An affidavit of William Martin in Washington Co., Indiana on Jan. 13, 1872, states he is age 49 and well acquainted with Mary Reeves and her husband in his lifetime, Elisha Reeves, a soldier of the War of 1812, and knows they lived together as husband and wife. He further stated that in the family bible there is a record of the marriage in which appears the following: Elisha Reeves and Mary Meridith married September 8, 1812. He also stated that he was present at the death of Elisha Reeves and that he died on August 15, 1840.

CHESTER DISTRICT EQUITY COURT DIRECT INDEX OF EQUITY BILLS AND PETITIONS 1820-1874

(Continued from Volume XIX, Number 1, February 2005, pp. 12,13) Transcribed by Dr. James L. Reid, 730 Walnut Hill Rd, Campobello, SC 29322 Transcriber’s Note: This contribution from the Chester District Equity Court indices began with Vol. X, No. 1, January 1996, always taken from the Plaintiff Index —until Vol. XX, No. 1, February 2006. In that issue, your transcriber inadvertently started the “M’s” from the Defendants Index, with the name of the defendant under the heading of Plaintiff and the plaintiff under the heading of Defendant. Here, we start again with the beginning of the “M’s” from the Plaintiff Index. The names are now under the correct headings, and the Plaintiff Index properly resumes from Vol. XIX, No. 1, February 2005.

——— Note: Equity Court bills and petitions usually contain family information, and they are therefore valuable genealogical sources. These files can be ordered from the Reference & Research Division, South Carolina Department of Archives & History, P. O. Box 11669, Columbia, SC 29211-1669.

Note: Equity Court bills and petitions usually contain family information, and they are therefore valuable genealogical sources. These files can be ordered from the Reference & Research Division, South Carolina Department of Archives & History, P. O. Box 11669, Columbia, SC 29211-1669. As a first step, one would be well advised first to inquire as to the number of pages in the file of interest.
