Bill's Words of Introduction
Just as an introduction
to those who may not know me, my full given name is Roberson
William Hughes, Jr. I was born in Charleston, South Carolina
and raised in the south. Most of my growing up years were spent
in the beautiful little town of Camden in Kershaw County, and
I have many very fond memories of those years. I have been interested
in my family ancestry for many years, but have only been doing
really serious research since my heart failure in January of
1993.
We all know that we
have ancestors, but not all that many folks go to the time and
effort to find out anything at all about them. I must admit
that I have been amazed at the great diversity of people to
whom I am related through time. Another thing that has surprised
me was discovering that I come from such "old blood"
in these United States. Virtually all of my blood lines were
settled in this country prior to the advent of the Revolutionary
War, giving me quite a few Veterans of that war.
A rare exception to
this was a paternal line 5Xgreat grandfather, Johannes Schwalm,
who came to this country as a result of being drafted in the
Hessen Region of Germany by the ruler there, and contracted
out to King George III of England to fight against the Colonists.
The ship that he was on was captured by privateers, and he ended
up in Philadelphia, where he switched sides and settled in s.e.
PA, which is the area for all of the paternal lines of my family.
All of my maternal line
families were settled into the areas of what are now Kershaw
and Lancaster Counties in South Carolina prior to the war.I
invite you to take a look at my lines. If any of these families
are connected to you in some way, please feel free to use whatever
information that would be helpful. If so, please make a short
post in the Guestbook.
Thank you for stopping by, and have a great
day.
Bill
