I am trying to find the parents of my Syntha Cane, who married Simpson Moore 19 Aug 1827 in Jones County Ga.
Someone in the family sent me this:
On 3 June 1912, Winfield Taylor Moore supposedly wrote to Mattie Gurr Lamar, (the original of which has not been exibited): "Your grandmother Mary Cane, was a Norwood and was born in North Carolina, and her father, Thomas Norwood was in the Revolution and was with Washington in the Jerseys during that campaign. He was wounded at the Battle of Cowpens. My grandmother when I was a boy used to talk of the war in Jones County, in 1829."
There is enough circumstantial detail there that I thought I should at least look for Mary Cain and Thomas Norwood. The Thomas Norwood who served in the Revolution from the Abbeville branch of the Norwoods is too young to be Mary’s husband – she was b. abt 1770, according to the censuses. The Thomas in Cheraws/Darlington is just right, and is with a Mary Cain in the censuses in Darlington in 1800, 1810.
I’m wondering if anyone out there has any evidence to support or refute this.
Here’s everything I’ve figured out so far. I have not been able to go to Georgia, so this came from the web.
There was a Norwood at the Battle of Cowpens, but I haven't figured out who yet..
This could be important:

a bit mysterious. Mary is probably the grandmother Taylor remembers in Jones County, since she was living with his parents at the time, so apparently she had Cynthia after she was widowed [or whatever] and living next door to her father.

War of 1812
Three norwoods served from Georgia, including Britton, who is said by some to have been Thomas’s son, though I’ve seen no evidence given for that…
1816
there is a Thomas norwood in the Jones Co. GA Tax List, Capt Greens's District #378. Mary norwood and Hannah Norwood are not listed.
1820
Thomas may have died.
In Gren’s district 1820 census, Wm. Rowell and William Tooley are the only neighbors of Thomas's I found who were still there. I decided they had rejiggered the districts, and looked for Thomas’s neighbors from the tax list. Thomas is gone, but I found mary near Lucinda Howell and James Locke.

hannah Norwood is not there. It looks to me as though Mary has taken in Hannah's three youngest children.
1827 Cynthia was married in Jones County GA
I can’t find Mary in 1830, but she is living with Synthia and Simpson in the 1840 and 1850 censuses.
I found this in the SC Archives index, but working on line cannot get the document. Most lilkely assumption is that Hannah was a Teele, and married Thomas Norwood's son.
