JOHNSON
I am searching for the parentage of Sarah Ann Johnson (1834-1912) who is buried in the Rose Hill Cemetary, York. She married Stanford Camp in 1851, he was killed in the Civil War in 1862, but she had at least two more children afterwards. The 1860 and 1870 census state that she was born in York Township, SC, but I have been unsuccessful in discovering her parantage. Interestingly, when she had one of the children after the Civil War, she obtained a "bastard bond" in Cleveland Co., NC. This child was my great grandfather, James Monroe Camp. Sarah Jane had seven children, Adelaide, Robert, Ada Eliza Jane, Mary, William B. and James Monroe. William and James were born after Stanford was killed.

HARRIS
What happened York County in 1838? In reading Mary Letitia Strong Chalmer's book about the Harris family of North and South Carolina, I found unexplained deaths for William McKEE who "was killed July 17, 1838", and James Wallace HARRIS who "was killed July 20, 1838"--3 days apart. Both lived in York County and were descendants of John and Eleanor Reynolds HARRIS. Unfortunately, I live out of state, so I have only newspapers on microfilm for resources, and those have not had anything about it. PS. Louise Pettus doesn't know what happened either.

HOUSER
Can anyone help me find the parents of Russell R. HOWSER?? My mother says this family is descended from Henry Howser of HOWSER HOUSE on the Kings Mountain National Battlefield Park, but I have not connected to Henry. She has an old newspaper clipping about the Howser House in her bible with a picture postcard of the house. Russel lists his and his parents birthplace as SC. I believe the birthplace to be York County, SC, since York County, SC is across the border from King Mtn., NC. On the 1910 Cleveland Census Russell HOWSER and family are listed as living in Kings Mtn., Cleveland Co., NC. The following is the census record as best I can read the microfilm.
