Thanks Brigid, I'll continue to look at Cornwall hints I have on Ancestry as well.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Decipher the last name written on this Orangeburg, South Carolina, USA record

I came across these records and what looks to be the same Gavin Pou (Pow) who moved to Alabama.

« on: Tuesday 04 June 24 01:44 BST (UK) »Incidentally the South Carolina death indexes include a Roland Sinns in the listings for 1915-1924
https://scdhec.gov/vital-records/death-indexes-genealogy/vital-records-death-indexes-1915-1967
Don't know if you can search the Agricultural Schedules by farmer and try Sinns as a surname, I couldn't access the relevant archives to try, see state by state entry for site address.

Thank you for this information and thanks to all those who contributed and are following this thread.
At this point I am following several paths with different spellings just so i don't miss Isaac's siblings or parents. Sinns is a path as well.
I'll post my findings here and continue to search Isaac and "Satyra - Sotara".
Both are my paternal ancestors.

Thank you for all who replied on this thread.
I was unable to find any other SINNE residents in Orangeburg, SC in the same period of time. This made me think it was something other than Sinne.
Sotara is my Great Great Grandmother and we've just assumed and lumped together all of the variations of her name as Pon, Pou, Pough, Pow and I have even seen Pontoo.
I'd be interested to know more about the connections between the Pows of Scotland and the Pous (Pou, Pough, Pon, Pow) of South Carolina.
I'm using myself as the litmus test since I have known South Carolina Pon, Pou, Pough, Pow ancestors and also unknown distant cousins in Scotland.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Decipher the last name written on this Orangeburg, South Carolina, USA record
« on: Sunday 02 June 24 22:24 BST (UK) »
My family has assumed the last name of the father in this record is SINNE.
But I'm really not sure now.
Can anyone else have suggestions what the last name of Isaac is?
He is listed as the father of Phillip Carson and the husband of Sotara Pou.
But the last name is listed as what appears to be SINNE?
Thanks for you help.

United States of America / Orangeburg, South Carolina, USA - SINNE?
« on: Sunday 02 June 24 13:59 BST (UK) »
Greetings,
I am searching for "Siblings" or "Parents" of :
Isaac Sinne
B:abt 1815 Orangeburg County, South Carolina, USA
D: South Carolina, USA
A 1916 Death Record of Phillip William Carson, shows Isaac Sinne listed as his father and his mother as Sotara Pou. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N963-TBF
The spelling of his last name may be incorrect. It is difficult to confirm from the penmanship if it is "Sinne" or something else. Any clues on what his last name might be? I have not found Sinne in any other Orangeburg, SC records at that place and time.
Thank you.

I will look further to see if I can come across the Marriage Certificate for Henry and Susan.
I attached what could be the same couple as you mentioned with Susan's maiden name possibly being KING.
I did find the Wix, Essex, England 1851 Census record (County/Island: Essex Country: England
Registration district: Tendring Sub-registration district:Harwich) showing Henry and Susan (Susannah) with three of their 7 children, that I indicted in bold type.
The 1871 (Registration district: Tendring Sub-registration district: Manningtree) Census shows Henry and Susan (Susannah) with their two younger children Sarah and John Pratt that I underlined below.
Mary Ellen Pratt
1844–1915
Susannah Pratt Shipton
1846–1883
Daniel Pratt
1850–1918
Hannah Pratt
1852–
Elizabeth Pratt
1855–
Sarah Pratt
1861–1893
John Pratt
1867–
BIRTH 1867 • Wix, Essex, England
DEATH Unknown
The 1881 Census shows Henry and Susan (Susannah) with the following information:
Street Address: Oakley Rd Cottage
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Farm Baliff
Registration district: Tendring
Regarding parents, I do see an Essex Parish record for a Henry Pratt with a birth date of 24 May 1821 with parents John and Hannah. These could possibly be the parents of the Henry I am researching.
Name Henry Pratt
Gender Male
Birth Date 24 May 1821
Baptism Date 14 Aug 1821

Essex / PRATT from Essex - Genealogy research connecting to Bahamas and the USA
« on: Saturday 01 June 24 15:38 BST (UK) »
Greetings,
Genealogy research for myself and a friend spans the UK, Africa, The Bahamas and South Carolina.
From the UK the earliest known connection I can confirm on this particular branch is Henry and Susan (Susannah) Pratt from Essex, England.
The fascinating story is still unfolding and I hope to find more connections to this particular branch of paternal ancestry for myself and my friend.
Are there any other researchers or distant cousins with information on this particular branch of Pratt ancestry? I would love to hear from you.
Best regards,
Donnie Austin

Travelling People / Re: Possible ancestry USA Johnson
« on: Tuesday 21 May 24 15:00 BST (UK) »
Hi, My paternal ancestry is from South Carolina.
I'm also searching for information to confirm ancestral lineage there.
Johnson is a branch in my South Carolina ancestry that also connects to the UK, Wales and the Bahamas.
Has any completed DNA testing in your family yet?
If so, also consider using GEDMatch as a resource to find other Johnson matches, trees and branches that might not show at the 8cM default on some of the other major testing platforms.
All the best,
DAFL
