I. John Threewits was a resident of Surry County, VA before 1700. He was an adjacent landowner to Robert Bolling in Surry County on the south side of the Nottaway River (on both sides of Cabbin Stick Branch) per a land patent of 26 Jul 1722; the Threewits patent was prior to 1695. [Nell Marion Nugent, Cavaliers and Pioneers: Abstracts of Virginia Land Patents, Volume III: 1695-1732.] During the 1720's, his near neighbors included John Williamson, John Bell and James Chappell (all in Surry County, VA) and Joseph Tucker (of adjacent Prince George County, VA). Members of these families intermarried in VA through the 1750's, went to SC in the 1760's, and continued intermarrying across subsequent generations. While in VA, they acquired properties in additional locations, and county boundaries changed. Their legal documents were filed variously in Surry/Sussex, Prince George, Brunswick, and Dinwiddie counties in VA. The Surry County, VA will of John Threewets (sic) was signed 14 November 1749, proven 20 March 1749/50. He named wife Ann, his sons Peter, Joel, Edward and John, his daughter Lucy Threewits, and his son-in-law Robert Newman.
II. Joel Threewits was born ~1730 in Surry Co VA. In ~1752, he married Jemima Williamson, born August 1734 [per entry in family Bible of Joseph Tucker (1685-1758)]. Jemima was the daughter of John Williamson and Martha Tucker (b. 29 September 1716). Joel and Jemima Threewits witnessed deeds jointly in Brunswick Co VA in 1754 and 1760. On 3 December 1766, Joel Threewitz petitioned the SC Council for 350 acres of land on "Waters of Saludy or Savannah" [Brent H. Holcomb, Petitions for Land from the South Carolina Council Journals, Volume VI: 1766-1770 (Columbia SC: SCMAR, 1999), p. 46.]. The amount reflects 100 acres for the head of household, and 50 acres for each additional family member (wife Jemima and the four children born prior to Dec 1766). The two youngest were born in SC in 1767 or later. The Threewits land grant was on Rocky Creek of Stevens Creek in Ninety-Six District (Edgefield Co SC), but the family did not settle there. They purchased land in Craven County on Raiford's Creek—later known as Hay's Mill Creek, currently Mill Creek in lower Richland Co SC. Joel and Jemima Threewits witnessed Richland Co wills in 1766 and 1767. Jemima died within the following few years, and Joel second-married Mary, the widow of neighbor John Thomas Jr. (died 1767) [SC Will Book RR (1767-1771), p. 249]. Joel was a grand juror in 1778-9 for Camden District, region "Between the Broad and the Catawba [Wateree] Rivers". His oldest son John was a petit juror, indicating that he was a landowner and taxpayer by then. Joel was a militia captain from 1 December 1778 to 26 May 1779, and died intestate during the war [Service record from Bobby Gilmer Moss, Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution (Baltimore MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1983-2006)]. His widow Mary qualified as administratrix of the estate on 10 July 1782 [Camden District Box 67, No. 2421]. Mary (maiden name unknown) Thomas Threewits third-married Ethel Heath. Her Richland Co will was signed 15 August 1807, proven 28 November 1807 [Richland Co Will Book E, p. 81]. One legatee was her daughter Mary Thomas Threewits; her son-in-law John Threewits was an executor.
Children of Joel Threewits and Jemima Williamson:
A. John Threewits was born in 1753 in Brunswick Co VA. He married Mary Thomas, daughter of his stepmother Mary and her first husband John Thomas; they had no children. John enlisted in the militia on 1 December 1778 in the company of his father, Capt. Joel Threewits. He became a militia captain on 1 Dec 1780, then a brigade major from 28 March 1781 to 28 April 1781. After the war, he settled on Tom's Creek in Lexington Co SC, on a plantation 3 miles south of the town of Granby (currently Cayce SC). He was active in civic affairs, was a member of the SC Constitutional Convention and a long-term state senator. He died on 22 Jun 1842, Mary having died in 1840. The distribution of his estate identifies nieces and nephews who were living as of 1844 [Richland Co Equity Records, Box #38].
B. Llewellyn Threewits was born in ~1755 in Brunswick Co VA. His militia service included several enlistments between 25 December 1780 and 30 July 1752, including service as adjutant under Col. Thomas Taylor. By 1784, he was married to Ann Mary Geiger, daughter of Jacob Geiger (b. 1718 in St. Gall, Switzerland, d. bef. 1760 on Geiger's Creek of the Saluda River in the lower Dutch Fork) and Anna Maria (Mary) Fridig/Friday (b. 25 October 1721 in Bern, Switzerland, d. bef. 1784 when the estate was distributed to the three daughters. Anna Maria Fridig Geiger second-married Jacob Weber (1725-1761), was identified as “Hannah Weaver” in most of her post-1761 legal and estate records. Llewellyn and Ann Mary Threewits had no surviving children. He married Eleanor Fitzpatrick in/by 1788, and his only child was born in 1789. Llewellyn lived near the town of Granby. He died on 2 August 1796. Widow Eleanor second-married Capt. John Thomas (step-brother of Llewellyn Threewits) in 1800.
1. Llewellyn Williamson Threewits was born in 1789. On 8 January 1810, when he reached legal age, he filed a complaint against his mother and her husband John Thomas requesting an accounting of his father's estate [Richland Bills 46]. In February 1810, he married Catherine Daniel (b. ~1790 in Fairfield Co SC, d. 1856). Catherine was the daughter of William Daniel (b. 1747 in Fairfax Co VA, d. 6 May 1807 in Edgefield Co SC) and Lucretia Bell (b. 1757 in Surry Co VA, daughter of Benjamin Bell and Martha Tucker who moved to Edgefield Co SC in 1762). Catherine filed a complaint on 24 January 1811 for separate maintenance, because Llewellyn had a drinking problem [Richland Bills 71]. He executed a bond on 20 October 1813, deeding slaves in trust to Jesse Daniel for the support of Jesse's sister Catherine Daniel Threewits. Llewellyn died intestate in 1820 in Lexington Co; his stepfather John Thomas qualified as administrator of his estate on 7 February 1821 [Memorialized Records of Lexington District SC, 1814-1825]. Catherine's trust property—the slaves—was appraised at $5100 on 2 January 1821 [Edgefield Co SC Deed Book 38, p. 217]. They had three children prior to the court's approval of her separate maintenance.
a. Eleanor Fitzpatrick Threewits, b. 1810, married Dr. William Daniel Marsh (b. ~1808 in Edgefield Co SC, d. 1873 in Enterprise, Clarke Co MS). He was her first cousin, son of Capt. Bryant Marsh (b. in Chatham Co NC) and Martha Daniel.
b. Elizabeth Juliet Threewits (5 March 1812 – 14 July 1898) married Dr. John Oliphant Nicholson (17 January 1808 – 4 January 1851); family lived in Edgefield Co SC.
c. John Llewellyn Threewits (5 July 1814 – 4 October 1834), buried Edgefield Village Baptist Cemetery.
C. Williamson Threewits was born ~1755-60 in Brunswick Co VA. He was a horseman in the regiment of Col. Thomas Taylor from 15 December 1780 to 25 June 1781. He did not survive the war; his account for militia services was submitted in 1784 by his brother Maj. John Threewits. A Lexington Co tradition states that a Wilkie Threewits was shot by Tories while on a scouting mission near Beaver Creek (in current Calhoun Co SC), was able to swim the Congaree River back to the Richland Co side, but died of his wounds at Hay's Mill. The home of Capt. Joel Threewits Sr., on Hay's Mill Creek, was adjacent to the mill.
D. Elizabeth Threewits was born ~1760-65 in Brunswick Co VA. On 14 June 1780, she married Hicks Chappell, who was born 5 March 1757 in Brunswick Co VA. He was named as an heir in the Richland Co SC will of his father Henry [Richland Co Will Book A, pp. 63-65; signed 11 November 1779, proven 9 May 1783]. Hicks Chappell was a Major by the end of the war. The Chappell and Threewits families had been near-neighbors in Brunswick Co VA in the 1750's, were near-neighbors on Hay's Mill Creek (Richland Co SC) in the 1780's. Hicks Chappell died on 11 April 1836 [Richland Co Will Book K, p. 113; signed 17 March 1836, proven 25 April 1836]. Elizabeth Threewits Chappell died on 4 July 1841. The Chappell children were identified on the pension application of Hicks Chappell, which included a copy of the family Bible.
1. John Joel Chappell (b. 19 January 1781) married Sophie Maria Green (7 September 1793 – 26 September 1831), daughter of Col. John Green and Jane Harris of GA, on 10 May 1811.

Both are buried at St. John's Episcopal, Columbia SC. His only known child was Harriet Chappell, born in 1845 to Charlotte, personal servant to the daughters of John Joel Chappell; her grandmother was the family cook. By 1760, Col. John J. Chappell moved 125 of his slaves (including grand-daughter Harriet Chappell) to Lowndes Co AL. After Emancipation, she married Henry Young; their children were raised in Tuskegee, Macon Co AL.

E. Martha Threewits was born ~1760-65 in Brunswick Co VA or Craven County (Richland Co) SC. She married Wood Tucker, who was born 10 May 1751 in Prince George Co VA (the western section that became Dinwiddie Co VA in 1752). He was the son of Wood Tucker Sr. (b. 28 May 1726 in Prince George Co VA, d. 1784 in Richland Co SC) and Millie T. Harper, who had married on 27 January 1743/4. Millie survived her husband in 1784. Wood Tucker Sr. was the brother of Martha Tucker, who married John Williamson and had daughter Jemima, wife of Joel Threewits Sr. Martha Threewits Tucker died prior to 17 March 1825. Wood Tucker Jr. signed his Richland Co will on 9 October 1817; it was proven on 20 January 1818 [Richland Co Will Book G, p. 47].
1. Richard Tucker, b. 1784-90 (per census evidence) married unknown prior to 1810, had no children as of 1820. He was not among the distributees of the John Threewits estate, so probably died before 1844.
2. Martha J. Tucker, b. before 1790, married William Jumper. Martha was the administratrix of his Richland Co SC estate, inventoried on 5 Aug 1827 by her brother Joel T. Tucker, among others [Richland Co Will Book H, p. 225]. The large Jumper family of Lexington Co SC descend from 1756 German immigrant Johannes Conrad Schombert, who lived in the lower section of Saxegotha between Savannah Hunt and Sandy Run Creeks. Martha Jumper was a widowed head-of-household in 1830, listed on the Lexington Co census with her three daughters adjacent to her uncle, Maj. John Threewits. Her will was proven on 3 November 1863 [Richland Co Will Book L, p. 573]. The executors were sons-in-law Daniel Haughabook and W. Van Wart.
a. Martha Epps Jumper married Daniel Haughabook. The Haughabook family of Lexington Co SC descend from Jacob Hagenbuch of Berg, parish Dägerlen, Zürich, and his wife Anna Barbara Bachmann, who were among the first group of settlers of Saxegotha in February 1734/5.
b. Mary Elizabeth Jumper married ___ Hane.
c. Rebecca Ann Jumper of Lexington District married Walter Van Wart of Columbia SC (previously of Ulster Co NY) on 15 May 1845.
3. Sarah Tucker was born 1784<90 (per censuses) and died 29 January 1832 [Newberry Co Probate Petition for Partition, Bundle 1, Pkg-6]. The 1817 will of her father names her as Sally Bedsdel, with a daughter Martha. The single household of that surname in the region in 1810 was that of Joseph Bedsel (3 households from Joel Threewits and his mother-in-law Mary Phelps, Richland Co SC M252-61, p. 161). Joseph Betsill and Joel Threewits were also listed on the same Newberry Co SC census page in 1820 (M33-120, p. 196); Joseph Betsill had two sons and a daughter born 1810<20, one son and one daughter (Martha) born 1804<10. Sarah/Sally Tucker Bedsil was survived in 1832 by married daughter Martha and minor children Orlando, Eliza and Jefferson. Children per family Bible of Joel O. Betsill (resident of Union Co SC from 1840):
a. Martha Betsill, b. 4 December 1806; married Thomas Wells (Newberry Co SC)
b. James Betsill, b. 27 December 1810

4. Nancy Tucker, b. before 1790, married a Watkins by 1818. In 1844, Ann R. Williams was an heir to the estate of John Threewits. In 1850, the Lexington Co SC census included an Ann Williams (age reported as 56) as head-of-household, with a son Elmore (b. 1830) and daughter Elen (b. 1833). She lived in the neighborhood of Sandy Run Creek, immediately adjacent to William Pool (b. 1759), father of the Joseph Pool who married Ann/Nancy Tucker's first cousin Jemima Williamson Threewits Pool (see below).
5. Joel Threewits Tucker, b. 1793, married Elizabeth Prescott, b. 1805. She was the daughter of Willis Prescott of Richland Co (died in 1816). The Prescott estate was distributed on 25 September 1826 [Richland Co Will Book H, p. 346]; the heirs included Joel T. Tucker and wife Elizabeth. Their children were born in SC. Joel T. Tucker died on 11 March 1861 in Bayou Chicot, St. Landry Parish LA.

F. Joel Threewits was born ~1766-70 in SC. He was probably the second male aged 16+ in the household of his brother John in 1790. In the early 1790's, he married Lucretia, daughter of Mary Phelps [Richland Co Will Book G, p. 2; Mary Phelps signed her will on 19 February 1816, proven 26 June 1816]. Lucretia's maiden-name was not necessarily Phelps. Mary Phelps named four children of Joel and Lucretia Threewits: unmarried daughters Keziah Ann Ross, Epps Davis and Jemima Williamson Threewits, and married daughter Lucy Vaugh Threewits Loveman [Lowerman] and her son Joel Threewits Loveman. The Joel Threewits family lived adjacent to his brother John on Tom's Creek in 1800. He was a resident of Newberry Co when he signed his will on 1 January 1818. The witnesses were his brother John Threewits, John's wife Mary (Thomas), and her brother John Thomas (husband of Eleanor Fitzpatrick, widow of Llewellyn Threewits). In 1820, the family was listed on the Lexington Co SC census. The will was proven in Richland Co SC on 22 Dec 1836 [Richland Co Will Book K, p. 174].
1. Lucy Vaughn Threewits, b. ~1793, d. after 1844, married William G. Lowerman. Their son, Joel Threewits Lowerman, was mentioned in the 1816 will of Lucy's grandmother Mary Phelps; Lucy's mother Lucretia may possibly have had the maiden name Vaughn. In 1850, Joel T. Lowerman and his wife Harriet (b. 1825 in SC) lived adjacent to the former home of Maj. John Threewits, currently the residence of John Hawkins Threewits (her brother). William G. Lowerman was the oldest son of John and Elizabeth Lowerman, and administrator of his father's Lexington Co SC estate (appointed 23 May 1817). John Lowerman (II) was a minor when his father John Loreman signed his Craven Co SC will on 16 October 1775 [SC Will Book VV, p. 83]. John Loreman and wife Mary Magdalena (widow of XXX Cusmaul) were residents of lower Craven County (current Richland Co SC) on the Congaree River across from current Calhoun Co SC. John Loreman (II) was the son of Johannes Lohrmann (b. 1734 in Altheim, Ulm, Germany) who arrived in SC in 1753 with his father David Lourman/Lohrmann and family. In 1788, John Lowerman (II) signed the incorporation documents of Sandy Run Lutheran Church, as did his neighbors Conrad and John Tschumbert/Jumper.
2. Keziah Ann Ross Threewits was born ~1809, married Henry S. Butler after 1818. In 1850, they lived in Randolph Co GA (Cuthbert District); her widowed sister Jemima Pool lived in their household at the time.

William Geiger (b. 1773) was the son of John Geiger (1748-1817) and Ann Murff (1742-1831). John Geiger was the youngest son of Herman Geiger (1707-1751), 1736/7 immigrant from St. Gall, Switzerland.
a. Adam Geiger, b. 1828, married Mary Carter.
b. Louisa E. Geiger, b. ~1830, married Samuel Lorick in 1848
c. J. William Geiger, M.D., b. 1832, married Annie Gardner.
d. Mary Ann Epps Geiger (1832-1865) married Arthur Howell Reese (1800 – 16 May 1853) on 7 February 1850. Mary Ann was buried in Geiger Cemetery (Lexington Co SC), as were both parents. Arthur Reese died of tuberculosis on 16 May 1853, per diary entry of his physician, Dr. Samuel Leland.
e. Emily Juliet Geiger (13 September 1836 – 16 Jan 1894) married Dr. J. L. Reid (1 February 1828 – 31 July 1857) on 20 January 1852; both were buried in Geiger Cemetery.
f. Joel Geiger, b. 1840
g. David Godfrey Geiger (5 April 1842 – 5 July 1921) married Laura A. Whittle (10 November 1846 – 2 May 1900); both are buried at Bethel Cemetery, Mayo, LaFayette Co FL.
4. Jemima Williamson Threewits was born ~1805, married Joseph Henry Pool (b. ~1791). He was the son of William Pool (27 February 1759, d. after 1852) who married Lois Moore on 19 February 1789. Joseph Pool was a resident in his father's household in 1800-1820; they owned adjoining tracts of land on Sandy Run Creek. William Pool was the son of Philip Puhl (b. ~1710 in Germany, d. before 1774 in Saxegotha, since his widow had remarried), by his second wife Anna Barbara Schneider, whom he married in 1756. [See Schneider family bio at www.palmettoroots.org for Barbara's family.] The children of Jemima Williamson Threewits Pool are undocumented, with one exception. In 1850, Wm. Pool, Jun. (b. 1824) lived in a single-person household on Tom's Creek, on property previously owned by Maj. John Threewits, adjacent to his first cousin Joel T. Lowerman, who was himself adjacent to their uncle John Hawkins Threewits, current owner of the Maj. John Threewits home. Their cousin James Henry Chappell (b. 1816) lived two households away from Wm. Pool, Jun., also on the Threewits estate. Jemima Threewits Pool lived in Randolph Co GA in 1850, in the household of sister Keziah and Henry S. Butler.
5. John Hawkins Threewits, b. 1803, married Mary M. (maiden name unknown, b. 1815 in SC). They had no children in the household in 1850.
6. Joel Thomas Threewits was not listed among the distributees of the John Threewits estate in 1844; he presumably had died between 1818 and 1844.
7. Llewellyn Williamson Threewits, b. 1815, married Josephine Love Rivers (13 February 1821 – 19 May 1843) on 21 February 1839. She was the daughter of William Croskeys Rivers and Mary Hearn Freer of James Island, Charleston SC. The gravestone of Josephine Love Threewits was the only marker legible in the family graveyard on the plantation of Maj. John Threewits as of the early 20th century (although the year of death was misread as 1813, creating some generational problems). They had two children, John Rivers Threewits (b. 19 September 1841) and Josephine Love Threewits (b. 24 January 1843). Lewis W. Threewits was the sole member of his Richland Co household in 1850. He was employed as an overseer for the plantation of Wade Hampton Jr. His daughter Josephine Love Threewits lived with her aunt Emma Eliza Threewits Rivers in Randolph Co GA in 1850.
8. Lucretia Silvia Threewits married William Cason/Casson.
9. Emma Eliza Threewits (b. ~1816) married James Croskeys Rivers (b. 19 September 1814) on 7 March 1839. He was the son of William Croskeys Rivers and Mary Hearn Freer. They had no children; their 1850 household in Randolph Co GA included her niece Josephine Love Threewits (b. 1843).
10. Mary Adeline Threewits married Henry Jones.
SC Threewits with unknown relationships:
1. In 1790, the census of Richland Co SC (Camden District) included the single-person household of Joel Thruwith, categorized under "All other free persons". The surrounding homeowners identify the location as the lower part of the county around Hay's Mill Creek, so near the previous residence of Joel Threewits Sr. The name suggests a family relationship, in addition to the likelihood that this is a former slave of the household. There are no additional land or census records for a Joel Thruwith.
2. Edward Threewits, b. ~1762, enlisted in the Cheraws unit of the SC militia and was serving under Capt. Malachi Murphy when wounded in the shoulder. In 1790, he was a resident of Cheraws District SC (in Darlington Co) with wife Elizabeth Knight and 4 daughters. They moved to Carter Co TN in ~1794. [Note: Capt. Malachi Murphy married a woman surnamed Knight; his widow (per his will) was named Hannah.]

3. Stephen Trewhit (b.1755<65) was a resident of Richland Co SC at the time of the 1820 census. He and his wife were both aged 45+. The household included one son aged 16<18, one son aged 18<26 (Edmund), one daughter aged 16<26, and two slaves. The adjacent landowners were families who lived on Crane Creek of the Broad River, just north of Columbia. Four households away was a John Trewhit (age 26<45) with a wife aged 16<26, one son and two daughters under age 10, and 3 slaves. On 26 October 1818, Richland Co. resident Stephen Truhitt (spellings on pension papers include Trewhit and Trewit, listed as Truewitt on the 1800 census of Darlington Co SC) was added to the pension roll for service in the NC Continental Line. He enlisted in Dobbs Co NC under Col. John Patton of the Second Regiment. He was captured in Charleston SC, but escaped after one month and 8 days, moved to Darlington Co SC after the war. On 15 December 1821, administrator Edmund Threwhitt sold portions of the estate of Samuel [sic] Threwhitt [Richland Co Will Book G, p. 287]. He had died on 12 May 1821, his unnamed wife in October 1821, and an unnamed daughter in 1820.
4. Edmund Trewhit, b. 1801 in SC (administrator of the above "Samuel" Threwhitt's estate), was listed on the 1850 Richland Co census with wife Maria L. (b. 1809 in SC), son Stephen W. (b. 1832), son William (b. 1835), and boarder Walter Thomas (b. 1830 in SC). Edmund and Stephen Trewhit and Walter Thomas were overseers for the adjoining plantation of Joseph A. Reese. In 1856, Edmund was a resident of Murray Co GA, and the sole surviving child of Stephen Trewhit.
