Hi Amy,
Thank you for the Partain information.As for the ages in the census records, I have run in to this before.It depends on who gave the information, (sometimes a neighbor or a child?),and the census taker could have made a mark in the wrong column, or there may have been two Philemon's, maybe father and son?
My ancestor, Lucy Partin/Partain, was born about 1796 in SC.She could not have been one of the females in the household of Philemon in the 1790 census.She could have been the daughter of Philemon Partin in the 1810 census.This daughter was age 10-16, and Lucy would have been about 14.Of course, this is just speculation at this point, but I have a feeling that Lucy was the daughter of this Philemon.
Lucy married William Kelly/Kelley, Jr. and their first two children were named Philemon and Mary, both born in South Carolina.(Philemon's wife was named Mary, acording to Rev. War records.)
My great grandfather, John Daniel Prater/Prather, made application to be placed on the Cherokee Indian Rolls(the Guion Miller Roll) in 1907.He stated: "I am the son of Rachel Prater, who was the daughter of Lucy Kelly, nee Partin, who was the daughter of ----- Partin, a Cherokee Indian.His application was rejected, because they were not living with the Cherokees in 1835.It had been passed down through our family that we had a female ancestor who was full Cherokee.I know the Cherokee's were in the upper part of SC at one time.Did Philemon marry a Cherokee and was he with the tribe in 1800?Maybe.Have you come across any Indian heritage in the Partin/Partain family?
Wilma
