MCDONALD4 STRINGFELLOW (ENOCH MARTIN3, WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born December 18, 1799 in North Carolina, and died November 03, 1875.He married KEZIAH ELIZABETH BOSTICK February 25, 1824, daughter of JAMES BOSTICK and MARY.She was born May 23, 1808 in South Carolina, and died May 15, 1855. Notes for MCDONALD STRINGFELLOW: 1. McDonald Stringfellow bought goods that had previously belonged to William Stringfellow, Jr. of Richmond County, NC at a sale of William's property February 10, 1825. 2. Witnessed the will of his step-mother, Elizabeth Evans Coleman Langham Stringfellow, of Greene County, Alabama on May 14, 1853. 3. McDonald's stepmother, Elizabeth Stringfellow, was living in his household at the time of the 1850 Federal Census. Excerpt from McDonald Stringfellow's Dairy (Concerning the Stringfellows' move from Richmond County, North Carolina.) "We were on the road nearly three months; camped along the way; were held up in Georgia, awaiting a permit, however, we only experienced a few minor mishaps such as broken axles and wheels, but everyone suffered from numerous mosquito bites and there were a few wasp stings. It caused quite a sensation when the caravan arrived in Greene County with 35 to 40 white people, which made up the two families, plus one cousin, and over four times that many negroes, plus the wagons, furniture, equipment, etc. Altogether this made a complete wagon train in itself. This move proved unhealthy for my father and uncle as far as the slaves were concerned; only a matter of months after our arrival we experienced a typhoid epidemic, which claimed the lives of many of their slaves - for a while they were dying so fast that we thought we were going to lose all of them."

The book also includes the statement "Henry Stringfellow removed from Newberry to Alabama and there died, leaving three children, Frances, William and Thornton, him surviving." 3. We know that this Henry's brother, William, moved to Chester District from Virginia. There are many records in Chester District concerning William and his descendants. 4. Henry's son, Thornton's, birth state is given as South Carolina and his age as 41 in the 1850 Federal Census. This would indicate that this Henry was in South Carolina in 1809. The other two children were listed as having been born in Virginia on that census.

2.WILLIAM2 STRINGFELLOW (WILLIAM1) was born 1732 in King George County, Virginia, and died March 18, 1814 in Barnwell District, South Carolina.He married REBECCA MARTIN in Franklin County, North Carolina.She was born Abt. 1740 in King George County, Virginia, and died Aft. 1820 in Barnwell District, South Carolina. Notes for WILLIAM STRINGFELLOW: 1. William Stringfellow's will is on record in Barnwell County, South Carolina. It is dated September 15, 1812, but was executed in 1814. 2. There are land records in Virginia and North Carolina that indicate that William's wife was named Mary. At this point in time I have not been able to determine if William had been married prior to marrying Rebecca. It is just as likely that Rebecca was also named Mary and that she used either name at various times. Notes for REBECCA MARTIN: 1. Rebecca Stringfellow is named in the will of her husband, William Stringfellow, dated September 15, 1812, on record in Barnwell County, South Carolina. 2. Rebecca Stringfellow was enumerated on the 1820 Federal Census of Barnwell District, South Carolina. 3. Rebecca Stringfellow's first or middle name may have been Mary.

Children of WILLIAM STRINGFELLOW and REBECCA MARTIN are: i. WILLIAM3 STRINGFELLOW, b. 1755, King George County, Virginia; d. January 1825, Richmond County, North Carolina. Notes for WILLIAM STRINGFELLOW: 1. William Stringfellow, Jr. never married. 2. The will of William Stringfellow, Jr. is on record in Richmond County, North Carolina.

(2) JOHN ELKINS, June 27, 1778, Warrenton, Bute County, North Carolina. iii. HENRY STRINGFELLOW, b. 1759, King George County, Virginia; d. Bet. 1836 - 1840, Barnwell District, South Carolina.

Henry Stringfellow testified in Barnwell Court during the suit brought by the children of his brother, Richard Stringfellow, against Richard's third and common-law wife, Catherine Scott. The Jury's verdict was declared June 20,1836. Note: Henry Stringfellow was not enumerated in the 1840 census of Barnwell District, South Carolina and I have not been able to find any records on him after 1836. At this time I am assuming that he died in Barnwell District between 1836 and 1840.

Robert and Catherine Stigler Stringfellow were Frank Stringfellow's great grandparents. The book is entitled "Stringfellow of the Fourth", and was published in 1960. I am fortunate enough to own a copy, and it is an excellent read. Mr. Brown did very thorough research and made contact with severaldescendants of Robert Stringfellow as well as Stringfellow researchers during his preparations for writing the book. Copies of his notes were graciously provided to me by Mr. Brown's daughter, Barbara. Most importantly, at least from my own point of view, is that Mr. Brown's research and my own research agree. Also, Mr. Brown's notes provided some information on at least two generations of Robert's descendants that I did not have. Thanks again, Barbara.
