| 17 I wll now begin the record abstracts from the South Carolina State Archives......Photostates can be had for most of these papers. The wills are typed copies (About 5% incorrect when compared with the original file in the county seats) and it is best to get photostats of the certified copies from the county seats where these wills show.... The first will be the IMMIGRANT LISTS from the Council Journals 18 COUNCIL JOURNAL dated 22 Dec 1767 and lately arrived from Ireland these men appeard and asked for Bounty Land. John McClelland and allowed 350a for himself and family. Robert McClelland ,age 19, and single ...allowed 100a land to be taken at Long Canes, Granville County, if suitable land can be found there. 19 COUNCIL JOURNAL dated 22 Dec. 1767...Arrived from Ireland on the Ship, Earl of Dengal....These families( List of some 10 or more) Dougald Ballentine age 50....allowed 100a Elizabeth Ballentine age 50 William Ballentine age 22....allowed 100a MARGAET MCCLELLAN age 21* Elizabeth Ballentine age 17....allowed 100a Mary Ballentine age 19 Robert Ballentine age 11 Mary McKinney age 70** * Margaret McClellan is likely the daughter of Dougald Ballentine. ** Mary McKinney is likely the mother of Mrs. Elizabeth Ballentine. I did not check the Ballentine Land Grants...Dougald did not get as much land as he was entitled to. 19a Arriving same date and same ship were : James McClelland age 48 Catherine McClelland age 48 Henry McClelland age 14 Martha McClelland age 8 William McClelland age 3 Robert McClelland age 19 John McClelland age 10 Note #18 at same date where John McClelland got 350a and Robert McClelland got 100a.... Evidently an error for John McClelland aged 10 would not have been allowed any land.....James McClelland with a wife and 4 children under age 16 would of been allowed 350a....Robert McClellan, over age 16 and 19, would have been allowed 100a 20 On the Ship James and Mary arrived from Ireland (Several Families) I am sorry I forgot to check the Council journal Date..Think 1768. Alexander Tomb age 27 Allowed 250a land which he took in what is now Chester County, S.C. Elizabeth Tomb age 25 David Tomb age 5 Tomb child, not named Andrew McClelland age 20 Allowed 150a of land for himself and wife Easter McClelland age 20 21 Council Journal dated 8 nov 1772...........Lately arrived from Ireland these people and allowed lands. William McClelland allowed 400a for himself and family William McClelland, Jr. allowed 100a Rose McClelland allowed 100a William McClelland allowed 100a John McClelland allowed 200a for himself and family John McClelland, Jr. allowed 100a 22 Council Journal 6 Jan. 1773...arrived on Ship Hopewell. Charles McClelland and allowed 150a for himself and wife....."he is not able to pay for the fees". 23 Same date as #22......arrived on the Ship, Free Mason. Thomas McLelland and allowed 100a. 24 Same date as #22.....arrived on Ship Lord Dunluce. John McLenan and allowed 300a for himself and family. 25 This completes what I was able to find on Immigrant list......likely a further study may show some more names....These list are not indexed....as you study the land grants, compare with the Immigrant Lists. |
