Subject: [ROOTS-L]  I need your imagination!!

 
 
 
 
 
 Donaldson, Rutledge
 
 I need your imagination. My ancestor, Thomas Donaldson, lived a long time
 in Abbeville, SC, enlisted for the Revolution 5 SC Regiment, 2 April 1776,
died
 intestate 1811, and his estate settlement is in the Courthouse - I mention
He died intestate because that gave me a list of his children. I know he was
married twice: 1st to Janet Reeve, dau of William Rev who was also a Rev
Vet, 2nd
to Mary Cook and I know nothing about her parents. And that is the sum of
all I know about Thomas Donaldson!
 
This is where your imagination comes in: the deeds for Abbeville burned in
1873. I do not know when he first bought land, where he lived, or where his
 son-in-law Joseph Rutledge lived, or how long he lived in Abbeville. I
 believe he was born 1750/1755 in NC. Can you tell me how to get this
information?
 HELP!!
