This line is still in need of much research if anyone has information on the Clark family of South Carolina or Alabama, I would very much like to know about it.
This family came from France and were probably Huguenots run out of the country of French by Louis XIV's army. After spending a short time in England they came to the colonies where eventually Benjamin Benoit Brassieur become a citizen of Virginia.
This family group was the main reason I started genealogy research eight years ago. My mother had always told me that I was related to Robert Burns the great Scottish poet. Since then I have found a number of Scottish relatives but so far no Robert Burns in my background. This line is still in need of much research if anyone has information on the Burns of Alabama or South Carolina, I would very much like to know about it.

Robert Burns - the bard
This particular family in
South
Carolina

There are a number of links here to family
photos
with image map links. The Scandinavian's first name are used as the
last
name of their sons or daughter, thus Christian's son Paul would be Paul

The Hollaway family probably came from England but the original immigrant of the family has not been found to this date. Our earliest record of an appropriately placed ancestor is in King and Queen County, Virginia before 1703.

THE FAMILY LINAGE:
Other spellings of the name are found in the
census
as Macen, McInne, Machin,Machan Macken, Makin or Mackin although the
family
usually spells it Machen. My own lineage is from these Machens.
This line is still in need of much research if anyone has information on the McDowells of South Carolina, I would very much like to know about it.
All of the following ancestors were born in
or
near Odby, Denmark on the Jutland pennisula.
The original ancestor of this family came to the Colonies as zealot missionaries after their more radical relative, James Renwick, was the last Covenanter religious martyr to be hung in Scotland in 1688. The family then fleed to Ireland from which they immigrated to South Carolina.
The actual name of this family probably came from the farm on which Evan, Paul's son was raised or worked in Loten, Norway.
This line is still in need of much research if anyone has information on the Roney of South Carolina, I would very much like to know about it.
