In almost a decade of postings on this forum, no one has mentioned Fears who lived in South Carolina. Nancy Jane Fears (who usually went by Jane) 1753-1811, married Alexander Roseborough 1754-1821, in Ireland. About 1774, this family migrated to Fairfield District, SC. Agnes Fears (Feb.14, 1754--June 7, 1824) is Jane's sister. Agnes married Alexander Kennedy (1743--1826), who came from Ireland to Fairfield District, SC in the late 1760's. These Roseboroughs and Kennedys lived near each other and were closely associated families. For example, son John Roseborough was executor of Alexander Kennedy's estate. Jane and Agnes might be the daughters of William Fearies, born ca. 1733, and his wife, who live near the Roseboroughs and Kennedys in 1800. I would like to find out more about the family of Jane and Agnes Fears. There seems to be a connection with the family of James Martin of Wateree, who also came from Ireland to Fairfield District, SC in 1768. Several of his descendants have the middle name Fears. A grand daughter of James Martin was the 2nd wife of James Fears Roseborough, a son of Alexander and Jane Roseborough. Any follow-up information would be most welcome.
