Please send corrections or new information to Susan Aldridge at susanaldridge2000@yahoo.de This is a work in progress.there are definitely questions as to which Abraham married Sybill Barnes -the ca 1700 brn or the 1725-and I think it was the earlier one and she did NOT have a child in 1780 as so many people are saying. This has to be wrong. I will continue to work on it.
1790 census Edgefield SC with Jacob Odom at the time of George Washington's visit to Martha Watson, new wife of Jacob Odom, and widow of Capt. Michael Watson and herself born a Watson as well.
This land was situated in the District of Ninety Six on Dry Creek waters of Mine Creek bounding n'ward on James Cox, S'ward. The house was a 2 story log cabin belonging to a revolutionary war widow Martha Watson Odom near her brother Arthur Watson. Martha was born a Watson in Nov 1753 and died Sep 1817 in Ridge Spring, Edgefield Co, SC, but had also married a Watson (Capt Michael Watson). Her parents were John and Ann Murphy Watson
Martha Watson's new husband was Jacob Odum. She lived in her house with her Watson children: Elijah 15, Kesiah / Keziah, Patience, Sarah, Mary with husband Ezekiel Perry, as well as her new baby Nancy Odom. The census shows 2 men over 16 (Jacob Odom and Ezekiel Perry), 1 under 16 (Elijah) and 6 women (Martha, Patience, Mary, Kesiah, Sarah, baby Nancy) and 6 slaves. Gen. Washington was paying his respects and thanking her for her late husband Captain Michael Watson's service and death of wounds received at Deans Swamp (near present day Salley, SC) 5 May 1782. The escorts stayed in nearby homes, as there was not room for everybody to stay here.
When the family buried her, they failed to mark her grave because the Watson family opposed the marriage, perhaps because she was so wealthy and had inherited 1700 acres thru Michael Watson. or perhaps the high spirited nature of the Odoms was not appealing to the Watsons. Jacob's sister Milly Odum who had married Capt Benjamin Ryan was known to be a woman "of high spirit" (according to Capt. John Ryan his brother) and not against assaulting a man and being fined for it. Milly was very good with money and kept it well locked up and she ended up being murdered in her own home after she re married to Samuel Marsh. Samuel was the only one at home at the time, but had no explanation how Milly could have been murdered.
Martha Watson Odom's marker was placed later in the Watson cemetery at Ridge Spring SC, not mentioning her marriage to Jacob Odom:
"In memory of Martha, a loyal patriot widow of Capt. Michael Watson of Revolutionary Fame."

"The Vanns, Rogers, and Langston's according to old records lived near SARAM CHAPEL, an old landmark in what is now Gates County, which was at the head of SARAM CREEK in the BENNETT'S CREEK section. There were two Indian towns not far from this same settlement. One of these was near the mouth of Meherrin River which was occupied by the Meherrin Indians. In fact, Indians were all around them at that period and it was much later when the Indian lands were laid out lower down on the Morratuck or Roanoke, in the bounds of present Bertie County NC. Among the neighborhood of these families were the Ross family, the Odums, the Hayes, the Barnes, Jones & Williams, as well as the Alstons and the Daniels, with whom they were intimate and with which they probably intermarried then and later."
A deed recorded in Craven County, South Carolina, on December 23, 1760 shows William Hunter “of Northampton County, NC” purchasing 350 acres for 500 pounds from the estate of Robert Rogers (7) and in 1760, another deed shows a purchase of 2 plantations in South Carolina, one for 200 acres, and another for 150 acres, for 665 pounds, from Abraham and Sibby Odum of Craven County, SC (8). Both deeds were witnessed by a William Hunter, Jr., and the second by Henry Hunter. All three tracts were described as being on the south side of the Wateree River, bounded by the river on the north and east sides. This land was probably on the eastern boundary of Richland County, or near Camden in Kershaw Co Sebielia "Sibby" Barnes.
Deed Abstract 1719-1772, Vol. IV, 1767-1773, Books 1-3-E-4, page 108 lists Snodin Kirkland, planter, selling land to Abraham Odom, Jr., planter, both of Granville County, 300 acres in St. Peters Parish, bounding NW on Snodin Kirkland & vacant land on 24 Jan., 1770. His wife Sibbell (no last name) was witness with him.

Abram Odom Sr. was granted land March 23, 1755. His will was proved 6 Apr . 1771. He died in Granville Co, S C .

deed 1735 from Abraham ODAM or ODUM, James BARNES and Edward VAnn witnesses
Abraham Odom and his wife Sebell of Edgecomb Co. deed to John Sumner of Chowan Co. 12 January 1746. Witnessed by Gregory Stallings, William Sumner, Joseph Sumner (Deed Bk. 3, p. 61, Hoffman, p. 79).
Indenture found In Book W. W., pp. 250 – 255: Abraham Odam and wife to William Hunter, dated 6 March, 1760, states that Abraham Odom and wife, Sibby, of Craven Co. in consideration of the sum of 565 pounds do sell two plantations - - - on south side of Wateree River, to William Hunter, of Northampton Co., Province of North Carolina.
"The wife of Snowden (Kirkland), Sybil, may have been the daughter of Abraham Odom who's family and immigration pattern follows closely to the Kirklands. Richard Odom, Abraham's father, owned land in Nansemond Co., Virginia and moved by 1715 to Chowan Co., North Carolina. This region eventually becomes part of Edgecombe and Granville Counties in which the Kirklands are documented to have lived. Abraham Odom submitted three petitions for land on the Wateree River in South Carolina on 18 Dec. 1754 on which the Kirklands had filed claims. Both Abraham's wife and a daughter were named Sybil. They started to sell their land on the Wateree River on the 6th March of 1760 and moved to Georgia by 1764. They seemed to have moved back to South Carolina with at least two purchases on the waters of the Savannah River in 1767. These are the same regions in which Robert and Snowden Kirkland had tracts of land. Snowden's property was adjacent to Abraham Odom on Pipes Creek in South Carolina. The circumstantial continuous relationship from Virginia days is very strong and indicates for Peacock and a few other researchers the probability of a marital relationship between Abraham Odom and Snowden Kirkland. No marriage record, probate record, or church record has verified this conclusion." [Peacock 101-103]

Milly Odom (Amelia or Emelia), daughter of Sibby Barnes and Abraham Odom Jr of Barnwell who fought at the battle of Cowpens, was said to be a woman of high spirit. She was ordered to pay damages for assulting a man- her husband Capt. Banjamin Ryan had to pay it. I imagine she got used to fending for her self during the War years. When she married Samuel Marsh she made a prenuptial agreement which prevented him from her assets thru her deceased husband Ryan since the estate was to go to the Ryan neices and nephews. She kept a large amount of English pounds locked up in a special chest which was locked up in a special room. She refused her new husband any of the money to give to his children. She was then murdered within a year of marrying Sam Marsh. It may have been an intruder who knew about her money but considering mr Marsh's divious behavior while she lay on the floor, it is supected that he did it out of greed. No one could prove it. Sam Marsh got hold of the keys in her pocket after the doctor finished examining her and took the pre marital agreement and money. He then tried to use the Benjamin Ryan estate for himself without relinquishing it to the nephew and niece of Benjamin Ryan (children of his brother Lacon) to whom the estate was supposed to go after her death. John Ryan, administrator, had to take Samuel Marsh to court.Samuel then married another widow Martha Blocker who was of good family and got out of town with her and her goods, so he must have been a real charmer.

____________________________________________
History of the Baptists p 161: "Horns Creek Church located about five miles south of the town of Edgefield and constituted about 1768, was probably a branch of Stephens Creek Church, though the history of its early years is lost. Rev. Messrs. Daniel Marshall, Saunders Walker, and Benjamin Harry covered this region with their missionary labors. Horns Creek Church appears as a member of the Georgia Association in 1788 with Hezekiah Walker as minister. In 1790 criticism of Mr. Walker came before the Bethel Association, which was about to proceed against him when a report was made in 1791 that Horns Creek Church had already acted in such a way as to produce "satisfaction respecting the charges "Hezekiah Walker, John Frasier, and Samuel Walker with several others members . . . did by their petition" ask and obtain incorporation by act of January 20, 1790, naming "The Baptist Church on Horns Creek in Edgefield County, in the State of South Carolina." John Bolger, a candidate for the ministry in 1792, soon left them."
History of the Baptists: "Between the years of 1772 and 1783,'there was almost complete suspension of religious work due mainly to the American Revolution. It appeared that Mr. Daniel Marshall, who organized Georgia's first Baptist Church (Kiokee) in 1772, was the only pastor of any denomination who shepherded a flock all the way through the conflict. He was the son of Presbyterian parents in Connecticut and was baptized at the age of 48 during the period in American Religion known as the "Great Awakening". Marshall began his journey to the South and on the way spent a number of years preaching to the Mohawk Indians in the wilderness. His early work brought immediate conflict with English rule as he was arrested for preaching. This incident occurred on one of his visits from South Carolina into Georgia in approximately the year 1770, a few miles north of Augusta near the Savannah River. The arresting officer was Mr. Samuel Cartledge who was only 19 or 20 years old at the time. Records are not clear as to who ordered the arrest, but it appears that Mr. Cartledge, as a constable, was performing his duty in accord with action taken by the state legislature. It seems Mr. Marshall was in prayer and conducting public worship when he felt heavy hands on his shoulders with the exclamation from Mr. Cartledge, "You are my prisoner!" At his trial it is said Mr. Marshall quoted much scripture and was ordered to stop preaching, but following the example of Paul he said: "Whether it be right to obey God rather than man, judge, ye". Mr. Cartledge was much impressed and deeply moved by this man and was later converted and became a member of Kiokee congregation, a Deacon and a Baptist preacher."

History of the Baptists p 161: "Horns Creek Church located about five miles south of the town of Edgefield and constituted about 1768, was probably a branch of Stephens Creek Church, though the history of its early years is lost. Rev. Messrs. Daniel Marshall, Saunders Walker, and Benjamin Harry covered this region with their missionary labors. Horns Creek Church appears as a member of the Georgia Association in 1788 with Hezekiah Walker as minister. In 1790 criticism of Mr. Walker came before the Bethel Association, which was about to proceed against him when a report was made in 1791 that Horns Creek Church had already acted in such a way as to produce "satisfaction respecting the charges "Hezekiah Walker, John Frasier, and Samuel Walker with several others members . . . did by their petition" ask and obtain incorporation by act of January 20, 1790, naming "The Baptist Church on Horns Creek in Edgefield County, in the State of South Carolina." John Bolger, a candidate for the ministry in 1792, soon left them."
History of the Baptists: "Between the years of 1772 and 1783,'there was almost complete suspension of religious work due mainly to the American Revolution. It appeared that Mr. Daniel Marshall, who organized Georgia's first Baptist Church (Kiokee) in 1772, was the only pastor of any denomination who shepherded a flock all the way through the conflict. He was the son of Presbyterian parents in Connecticut and was baptized at the age of 48 during the period in American Religion known as the "Great Awakening". Marshall began his journey to the South and on the way spent a number of years preaching to the Mohawk Indians in the wilderness. His early work brought immediate conflict with English rule as he was arrested for preaching. This incident occurred on one of his visits from South Carolina into Georgia in approximately the year 1770, a few miles north of Augusta near the Savannah River. The arresting officer was Mr. Samuel Cartledge who was only 19 or 20 years old at the time. Records are not clear as to who ordered the arrest, but it appears that Mr. Cartledge, as a constable, was performing his duty in accord with action taken by the state legislature. It seems Mr. Marshall was in prayer and conducting public worship when he felt heavy hands on his shoulders with the exclamation from Mr. Cartledge, "You are my prisoner!" At his trial it is said Mr. Marshall quoted much scripture and was ordered to stop preaching, but following the example of Paul he said: "Whether it be right to obey God rather than man, judge, ye". Mr. Cartledge was much impressed and deeply moved by this man and was later converted and became a member of Kiokee congregation, a Deacon and a Baptist preacher."

Cemetery records in Horns Creek-
The historic church where this marker rests is Horn's Creek Baptist Church. The church, founded in 1768, was the centerpoint of the rural South Carolina religious movement during its time. It was founded by Reverend Daniel Marshall as the first Baptist Church in upstate SC. The marker also speaks of a skirmish near here. In 1781, a group of American soldiers under the command of Captain Thomas Key attacked and defeated a group of Loyalists near this marker.
The roads leading up to this place are no more than logging roads. Be very careful when driving out there. Don't go when it's wet or about to rain. The red clay is quite dangerous. I even get nervous driving my car on the roads when it's dry. :)
The church itself is old and abandoned. The building is not kept up and has been vandalized by a mess of people over time, but it's still worth seeing the inside and out. BE VERY CAREFUL INSIDE! There are holes in the floor, and it's full of bugs. The cemetery in the back is also in disrepair, but well worth seeing. Some headstones are totally disintegrated, some have just fallen, and some are in perfect shape. Again, BE CAREFUL that you don't damage anything.
If you go, please report on the state of the creepy RV that's parked on the private property right behind the marker. If you go at night, the RV is the scariest part of the visit. The last two times we visited, we spent most of our time trying to figure out if somebody lives there or not.
1810 Rev. Samuel G. Marsh who married the widow of Capt. Benjamin Ryan Sr 1815. She was Emelia /Amelia "Milly" Odum who assulted a man and her husband was sued and had to pay damages. After Capt. Ryan died she married Rev Samuel Marsh but she got shot inside her house while Samuel Marsh was the only one home, but the murder was not "solved." Although it pretty obvious. She never have had had children, so considering the circumstances, her brother sued Samuel Marsh. Marsh then took the oportunity to remarry another widow and headed out of town westward.===================================================

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for posting what is a most useful and informative blog recently. I was searching google for the keywords Odom and Edgefield County, and came across your blog, "Looking for Odom and Williams of Edgefield and Aiken SC". I believe I am descended from the Abraham and Sibby Odom family, but am currently trying to prove the connection.
I know there are a lot of people out there who erroneously try to claim descendancy from this Abraham, but I believe that I have pretty good circumstantial evidence that I am either descended from them, or have an ancestor who was a sibling or other close relation. My ancestor, Elkanah Odom, owned a piece of land in Sampson/Duplin County, North Carolina that was owned by an Abraham Odom originally. The other neighboring land purchases at the time were made by relatives of Abraham who married Sibby, and there are also witness names to deeds that consistently seem to be around this Odom family, including being associated with that parcel and neighboring parcels. These names all go back to Bertie County, North Carolina originally. I'm writing from memory here, as my information is on my other computer, but I've spent a lot of time on trying to trace my connection to Abraham and Sibby. I get stuck at Elkanah, whose parents I cannot conclusively identify, but I suspect he is a granson of Abraham and Sibby, or perhaps a nephew.
Elkanah had two land dealings (that I know of) in Duplin County, NC before moving to Edgefield County, SC somewhere around 1800. He never shows up in a census for any of these counties. From Edgefield, he moved right across the border to Columbia County, GA (in 1820 Columbia County census), and then moved on to Walton and Coweta Counties. I have a couple references to him in Edgefield, and his sibling, Dildatha Odom is in the 1800 and 1810 Edgefield censuses. I have managed to document him extremely well from 1820 to 1850, but have only hints of his activites before Georgia. He was born between 1768 and 1775, depending on which census age is correct.
So, after that longwinded explanation, I was wondering if you have ever come across Elkanah or any of his known siblings in your research of Edgefield County? (Siblings are Dildatha, Hallatia, and Bethany Harris, who married Revolutionary soldier Benjamin Harris) I wouldn't normally assume somebody might know something, but your blog is SO detailed, that it is obvious you have spent a lot of time in Edgefield research, so I thought it might be possible that you've come across these guys.
Thanks again for your wonderful blog! I really enjoyed reading it. I've come across a legal transcription of the Milly Odom ordeal before, but didn't really understand who any of the players were, or why there seemed to be a conflict among the heirs and her husband (if I'm remembering the document correctly). I spent a lot of time trying to figure out who all those people were because of the Edgefield connection, but I live in Arizona, and the internet is my only real tool for research. I was thrilled to read a full explanation and also some greater detail on the Odoms I am interested in.
If you are able to provide any clues to my Edgefield connection, I thank you in advance. If not, please continue to post your amazing blogs!

From Floyd H. Lawson, November 1998:
Notes:
Abram Odom is shown as being at the Battle of Cowpens, SC, on 17 Jan 1781, His dau., Elizabeth Lovica Odom, m. John Manasco, Sr. Their son, James Knox Polk Manasco, married the dau. of William Manley Rutledge, and his wife, Nancy Ball Lawson - Martha Ann Rutledge. There is a story about James Knox Polk "Uncle Polk" Manasco and his brothers-in-law, James Daniel and William Rutledge avenging the death of William Manley Rutledge. The latter was killed by Joe Smallwood, 1866, in a conflict when William Manley had gone to a store along with his wife, Nancy Ball Lawson Rutledge. Joe was drunk and was trying to coerce William Manley to imbibe with him; William Manley Rutledge refused. Joe struck William Manle[y between the shoulders with "brass knucks" and William Manley apparently mounted his horse along with his wife and William Manley fell from his horse a short distance from the place of the fracas. So, his two sons and son-in-law, avenged his death by going to his home and shooting him - dead. Neither of them knew whose bullet hit him. Abram Odom was in SC as early as 20 Jun 1780, as that was the date on which his daughter, Elizabeth Lovica Odom, was born in that state.

Major Benjamin ODOM born 16 DEC 1758 in South Carolina Death: 11 DEC 1822 in Barnwell, South Carolina (also noted as Captain Benjamin ODOM elsewhere), but it was several years before the estate was settled. Petition for Partition was entered 23 March 1824 in Court of Equity, Barnwell District, SC, and set up to be heard at the January Term 1825. The heirs petitioned the court to dispose of the property “that they had heretofore enjoyed the said property in common but it being inconvenient and also contrary to their intent to continue to do so” they wanted the estate divided. The estate, consisting of several hundred acres of land, was sold at auction and John REED, widower of the deceased Benjamin ODOM’s deceased daughter Emelia (ODOM) REED, bought the property.
During the 1830’s Michael W. ODOM left Barnwell, SC with his family and settled in Madison Co., Mississippi. One son Pinckney ODOM married and lived in Alabama for a few years. Probably soon after Michael’s death in 1842, Pinckney and three of his brothers John, Jesse, and Benjamin W. moved their families farther west to Union Parish, LA_______________________________________Benjamin Odom Sr m.

William Harden's regiment which was a part of Gen. Francis Marion's brigade. No proof yet if he is that Benjamin who is listed as the commanding officer of a Tory detachment that lost sixteen men at the Battle of Windy Hill in Dec. 1781. Here is a blurb about Col. Harden: "Now city engineer of Dawson, Terrell county, Mr. Harden represents the Harden family in a younger generation and his forefathers were among the most prominent citizens of south Georgia from the time of the Revolution down. Thomas Hutson Harden was born in Terrell county, was a son of Daniel McWhir Harden, a native of Bryan county, and a grandson of Thomas Hutson Harden, and a great-grandson of William Harden, the founder of this branch of the family in Georgia. William Harden was born in South Carolina. He served as captain of the Beauford Artillery from 1743 to 1785. In March, 1786, he was commander at Port Lyttleton. He was promoted colonel of militia under Gen. Stephen Bull, and in 1779 attacked the British at Wiggins Hill. He served as colonel under Gen. Francis Marion during the campaign of 1780 and 1781, and was in a number of skirmishes with the British and captured Fort Balfour with one hundred prisoners."

John Ryan's Book by Charles Dyson Rodenbough
John Ryan's Book contains the combined accounts of the operation of his
plantations; his personal and family dealings; and the record of marriages,
births and deaths of his family, friends, neighbors and his slaves. It covers an
active period from 1802 until John Ryan's death in 1827, although their are
dates recorded from recollections prior to 1802. Since John Ryan was a man of
considerable note in the Ninety-six District of South Carolina his record covering
the period mentions many of the families in this area of South Carolina.
John Ryan was the son of Benjamin and Mary Ryan. His parents came to South
Carolina from Virginia (probably Augusta County). John Ryan is believed to
have been born near Edgefield, SC. He fought in the Indian Wars against the
Cherokees and in the Revolution as a Captain of the First South Carolina Militia,
Col LeRoy Hammond's Regiment. He is treated at length in Johnson's "Traditions
and Reminisences of the Revolution," but he is erroneously referred to there
as James Ryan. John Ryan had two brothers-Benjamin and Lacon. Altough all three
brothers married, only Lacon Ryan left issues-a son Benjaman and a daughter
Sarah.
The John Ryan Book is now the property of Mrs Juliette Loving Green, a
ggggranddaugher of Lacon Ryan. It was given to Mrs Green by Rev Herbert Boyce
Satcher, who himself is a gggrandson of Lacon Ryan. lacon Ryan's 2 children Benjamin and Sarah were the heirs of their childless uncle Cap Benjamin Ryan and his wife Milly Odom who was murdered, probably by her husband to illegally obtain his estate and rob the orphans. Over a period of years the
book has sustained a great deal of physical damage. Some pages have been lost,
others have been partially torn off. There has been damage from bugs, which have
eaten away portions of pages, and from water. Finally, during a period
corresponding roughly with the Civil War the book was used by the family for a
scrapebook, for pasting numerous newspaper clippings to the pages. This treatment
necessitated a great deal of tedious work for many hours in order to make out a
transcript of the contents. Dr. Satcher did most of this tedious work and the
complier has finished the work he started.
The following is a list of all references to births, deaths and marriages
(except slaves) as they are found in John Ryan's Book. All entries that might
indicate any useful information were included even ifthey are unclear or
incomplete due to damage to the book. Those words or letters that are not definitely
clear are italicized, as are portions of words which had to be assumend.
Words or dates that cannot be assumed with reasonable certainty are omitted as
indicated by dashes. Spelling has been correscted on all words except names.
