' church membership had grown from a handful of men, women and children to a roll of 113, still in most part, however, representing the original family names of Stone, Eaddy, Hanna and Carter. The response of these men to the call to arms was simple, direct and prompt. William Spious Eaddy wrote in his Civil War memors, "On Septembe·r 1, 1861, feeling the manifestation of that Southern pride and honor for our States Rights, which were being so unmercifUlly trampled upon by the Northern States, I enlisted with a Confederate Company at Indian Town, this being only two days after the surrender of Fort Clark and Hatteras, at the opening of Pamlico Sound, N. C., to General B. F . Butler. For to me it seemed the North not only opened the War between the States by sending armed vessels and troops into our peaceful harbor of Charleston, but was encroaching upon the rights of our sister states also." Eleven Prospect men became members of Williamsburg Riflemen which was organized that day, They were George W. Carter, age 42 ; Asbury B. Carter, 22, who died of disease in 1862 ; John B. Carter, 21 ; Trasvan Eaddy, 28 ; · and his brother John T. Eaddy, sons of John D.

Joining outfits in Marion County were Randall and Enos McDaniel, · sons of Isabella Parsons and James McDaniel; Jasper Bartell, ;son of William Bartell and Senea 1Stone; and Gr.egory Eaddy, son of Edward D.

Robert J a mes Eaddy died two days later . Patrick Oneal Eaddy was a nephew of the above mentioned Robert J ames Eaddy, and one of the 11 sons of Taylor Ea ddy an.d Margaret Stone. He became a legendary m a rksman as a boy wh.o could ~ i ll r unni ng squirrels and rabbits with his 38 caliber riffled pistols. In ser vice to the Confederacy, he used this skill as a sniper and scout through enemy lines . He was wounded many times. After his knee cap and scalp were shot away, he was ordered to return home. On crutches and with a metal plate protecting his brain , he stopped off with General Johnson iu North Carolina and stayed until the final surrender. He died in 1872 of head injuries , leaving a widow and a daughter who later married Sidney A. Thompson. Patrick Eaddy's older brother, • Spious, left a hand written memior in which he describes numerous engagements with the enemy . One of these was the Battle of the Wilderness . ' 'When the Battle of the Wilderness came on, I was with Longstreet's men at Gordonsville, a few miles away . We marched day and night in order to reach Lee in the defense of Richmond. We entered the Wilderness from Old Orange Planck Road just after sunrise on the morning of May 6, 1864 . F inding that Grant had opened fi r e upon Lee earlier in the morning of this, the second day's fight than we had expected, we went into battle on the run, forming quick firi ng lines. ''This was a terri ble place for a battle . It was a wilderness in na me and a jungle in reality, for with its dense undergrowth a nd thick entwined branches, we could see but a few yards ahead of us .

Royal land grants--small at first--were cherished. Yellowed by time and brittle with age but still clearly legible, many of these grants still remain , stored away in camelback trunks with other keepsakes of the past . A number of des cendents of these original set tlers still own and live on these 01·iginal grants. They were King's grants, awarded during the interim between the Lords Propritors' returning the colony to the King and the outbreak of the Revolution. They were defined in terms of their location , •·Georgetown District. . . Prince Frederick's Parish ...the waters of Lynches Creek .. .surrounded by vacant land."

Many of these, in which the graves are marked only with stakes or wooden slabs with a few carved words have been lost-plowed over in fields , or grown up in swamp and wood . Fishermen and hunters sometimes stumble over them. Several family cemeteries without church connections still are used and kept up and reveal in their epitaphs the early con11ec tions of the families of the men mentioned above. · Hanna Family Cemetery is the earliest of these . Its ground appears to have been broken first for the body of Hugh Hanna (or Hannah), born in 1759 in Ireland and dying 83 years later at Prospect . . An old' family cemetery is also located at Brown Town, and another at the edge of the Vox community called Eaddy-Ford for the grandson of the above named James Eaddy, Jr., and the site of a ford that must be crossed to traverse the width of the swamp. p Of the original settlers of l'ospect, and their sons, the following are known to have fought With General Francis Maron's &trny or elsewhere in the American Revolution: John Brown, James Eaddy, Sr,, James ~ddy, Jr., Samuel Eaddy, Daniel "'lYddy, William Hannah, Hugh liannah, James Hann~h. Wiiliam arsons, Austin Stone, and John rnons. Hugh Hanna married ·first tab Burrows, born about 1764, e daughter of John Burrows and Sarah Scott; second wife •mknown and third, Elizabeth Barr German descent. Unlike most of the P1 ospect settlers, ' Hugh Hanna was an active Presbyterian and an elder of Indiantown Presbyterian Church. He could wel~ h~ve been among the first of Marion s men, when that enigmatic little ''Fox'' accepted his first command at nearby Pee Dee River. According to his obituary, his memories of Marion's exploits were long a.n d detailed. William Hannah, also one of ''Marion's meri ," was born in Ireland. His wife's name is not known . His children were James, born 1763, Henry, born 1773; and Agnes Letitia, born about 1778. These three children may have had early Presbyterian indoctrination as all married Knoxes, whose work within the Presbyterian denomination is well known . Henry married Elizabeth Knox, born 1776. They moved to the Mississippi Territory where Henry Hannah was a member of the Mississippi Constitutional Convention of 1817 and of the Mississippi Legislature for 13 years. James Hannah married Martha Knox , born 1776. Agnes Letitia Hannah married John Knox , son of Samuel Knox . John Timmons, born 1740 and also of Marion 's Army , was a neighbor of the Hannahs. He married Mary Simmons. Their son William married Lydia Morgan of the Welsh Neck Baptist group of immigrants. The two sons of William Timmons and Lydia Morgan were John Morgan Timmons who founded the town of Timmonsville and married Elizabeth McCollough Myers; and William James Timmons, born 1802 , who married Elizabeth Eaddy, a granddaughter of James Eaddy, Jr. Austin Stone, born 1748 and died 1818, served with General Marion and furnished supplies. He was a large land owner and was among the Commissioners appointed March 27, 1786, for opening the navigation of Lynches and Black Creek. It appears that Austin, Stone was early instrumental .-in the spread of Methodism in the Prospect area, as the circuit riders, who were frequently replused elsewhere, found a welcome at his home . The Eaddy family engaged actively in the Revolution, with James Eaddy, Sr., serving as a suttler (supply officer>for General Nathaniel Greene's Army, and James, Jr., Samuel and Daniel supplying Marion and fighting in the army. No doubt there was much suffering in the area during the years of the American Revolution. But 1835, however, the survivors of that was had recovered sufficiently to organize and build a church, the second Methodist Church to stand in the area.

M. ''Sonny Buck'' Cook of 1 ' SONNY BUCK COOK 0 • .Johnsonville was one of the more than 400 citizens from . the 6th District of South Carolina to attend the recent presidential inauguration. Cook, a staunch Democrat for all of his adult life, traveled to Washington by car with friends from Florence. In a interview after returning to his home here, he said he enjoyed the festivities very much and was ''proud to be a part of the large crowd of friends and supporters who went to Washington to see the first southerner take the office of President of the United · States in a mighty long time.' ' Not being much of a traveler, Cook said, ''1 haven't been nowhere much, and I really enjoyed my trip to Washington. I'm not use to city life like some of my friends. They kept me up 'till about 3 or 4 in the morning .. I told them I was not use to that life style, that I am usually in bed and asleep by 9 o'clock at night.'' However, he met many people there that he has become acquainted with over the years, and was tickled to death that he had made the trip. Cook and his wife, Leota, along with other members of his family , have been hosting a big political feast every two years, just prior to the primaries. for the past 16 years. Cook said, ''I have always wanted my suppers to get to be as big as Gallivants Ferry. Over there they don't serve much but a little bit of chicken and rice, and they charge you too, besides claiming that their rally is the biggest in the state. At Vox, where our suppers are held at ,,, the community center, we serve anything anybody could want to eat from barbecue, fried fish, fish stew and chicken and rice, with all the trimmings and we don't charge anybody anything, either. This part year a lot of my friends told me we had laid Gallivants Ferry in the shade. We invite everybody, Democrat and Republican alike, to come join us, eat, hear our politicians speak, then go home and vote like they please. We don't try to • at1on tell nobody how to vote.'' Cook declared he had never in his life seen so many people as there were at the activities sWTounding the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter. He expressed regret at not seeing more of some of those from his ''neck of the woods,'' but the activities were so numerous that one was hard pressed to make them all, and it was difficult to keep in close oontact with those from home. Meeting in most instances was strictly by chance, even for that staunch Vox Democrat, Sonny Buck. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Reverend James Ruet Gilland Description An account of the resource James Ruet Gilland (1810-1877) was a minister of Indiantown Church from 1858-1867. He was born on a farm near Greencastle, PA. He graduated from Jefferson College in 1836 but his failing health led him south, where he taught high school at Statesburg until entering the Theological Seminary at Columbia, graduating in 1840. He had one daughter, Mary Jane, by his first wife Mary Rebecca Hutchinson. After her death in 1843, Gilland married Mary Caroline Gibbes. He was assigned to several locations in SC before his assignment began in Indiantown in 1858. In 1867, feeling the church had been so broken up by the war so as to be unable to support him, he headed West to work in AR, MO, and MS. He returned to Indiantown in the fall of 1877, spending his remaining months with his daughter, Mary Jane Gilland McCutchen.

Title A name given to the resource Rosa Belle Eaddy Woodberry Dickson Description An account of the resource Rosa Belle Eaddy Woodberry Dickson (1869-1953) was the first female mayor in South Carolina history.. She was a role model of the independent female who lived in the area of Johnsonville, South Carolina area between 1868 and 1953. She was a truly a person of exceptional ability and especially so for the time in which she lived. This multi-talented woman chose to be a school teacher and thus became another of the Eaddy family to make her most valuable contribution in development of the youth of her community. Rosa Belle Eaddy was a principal, teacher, pianist, music director, and reformer at Old Johnsonville. The school was located between Hemingway and Johnsonville, South Carolina. She held radical views for her time and place and once created an uproar over the use of the community water dipper commonly used in the schools of that era. This was a practice followed by families at home and difficult to oppose publicly. She had each child to furnish his own drinking vessel to counteract the spread of water borne diseases. Time has proved her correct and added to the respect held for her by those who knew her. Rosa Belle Eaddy was a strong and forceful woman who was profoundly respected in her community and church.
