From 2001 to 2006 I took comments and questions about my genealogical research on a guestbook page on my RootsWeb.com genealogical website. Since that page no longer works, I've set up this blog to keep the communication alive.
I've recently published a fictional novel about my experiences while serving as a pilot and attache for the USAF. I've also been working on genealogy for over 10 years now. I'm tracking kith and kin all over the US and in several foreign countries.
Hi I'm the great great grandaughter of Susan Baskins married to Daniel Gardner. Saw your family tree and it was a big help to me. Thought I might be able to help you with the descendents of that couple
Thank you for all your work. I am looking for my maternal ancestors and am stuck at Alexander Abraham Young b 1844 who married Elizabeth Baskin b 1844 in Kershaw (I think) They lived in Rock Hill. I am a rather seasoned researcher, but this is my dead but important maternal line. I did my mtDNA test a few years ago and it came out H group. Elizabeth Baskins mother according to lore was a Gaskin of Kershaw. I am so impressed with all your work! Cheers, Charlotte Hutson Wrenn (of Charlotte, NC)
Hello, I am a descendant of Andrew Baskin through his son John who married Susannah Marshall. Andrew is of particular interest to me because he seemingly (on paper at least) just springs up out of the ground in Augusta County VA. As far as his death goes I haven't been able to find anything concrete,(thank you Sherman) but he was still presiding over court cases in Lancaster County after 1799. The last (newest) court date being in 1801 that I was able to find. As for the 1800 census it only lists the head of household and then enumerates the demographics of all other residents both free and enslaved. If he was in fact living with his son William at that time he would not have been the head of house, and therefore not listed by name. Andrew (the elder) also had at least one grandson named for him who became a lawyer, but he(the grandson) operated out of Richland County so it is unlikely to be him from the 1801 court date in Lancaster. I believe it is probably William's farm that is depicted on Robert Mills atlas of Lancaster County.
