BARNWELL:

• Barnwell County and its county seat of Barnwell were named for Revolutionary War leader John Barnwell (1748-1800). The county was originally part of Orangeburg District, and in 1785 it was named Winton County. It was given its current name in 1800. Barnwell County has decreased in size over the years as new counties were created within its boundaries (Aiken in 1871, Bamberg in 1897 and Allendale in 1919). The South Carolina Railroad, which connected Charleston to Hamburg on the Savannah River, was built through this area, creating the towns of Blackville and Williston in the mid-nineteenth century. In more recent years the county was the home of several powerful state politicians, known collectively as the "Barnwell Ring." Included were state Senator Edgar A. Brown (1888-1975), Speaker of the House Solomon Blatt (1895-1986), and Governor Joseph E. Harley (1880-1942).  (Submitted by: SC State Library / Mary Morgan, 31-Mar-2008)

MOP- Finding the Pattersons

My oldest relatives in this side of the family tree are Lula Badger Mcmillian and Richard "Dick" Mcmillian from Barnwell County South Carolina.

In searching for more records I found one that listed Lula Badger  with Rebecca as her mother. My Grandmother had been telling me that Maggie Odom's mothers name was Rebecca until we found out it was Lula Badger. So I figured that Rebecca could possibly be Maggie Odom's maternal grandmother.

Then I found a record that showed Rebecca married to a Patterson. Joseph Patterson.

When I attached that record to her profile, a hint popped up for a family tree connection. On that family tree I saw a picture for Joseph Patterson that I recognized.


At a recent funeral for Edith Deloach Bell, I used her obituary to construct her family tree. I noticed the picture of Joe Faye Patterson was the some picture of Joseph Patterson on my family tree...
