Dorsey, White, Green & McGee
 

Barnwell, South Carolina is the origin of  our past as former slaves.  It's alledged our existance comes from the Ashanti Tribe.  Through numerous trips from New Jersey to Kingstree and Columbia,  South Carolina I've unearthed lots of information, but not that of our relationship with Ghana Africa.  In the Kingstree courthouse I've spent countless hours looking at old 5lb record books and  poised to see our ancestors were that of land owners.  Your must not forget  it's 1892,  and 27 years after the Civil War.  The Dorsey, White, McGee and White family all purchased property by that time.     

 


GRACE the eldest child married GEORGE DORSEY in 1865.  GEORGE purchased 77 acres of property in Nesmith, South Carolina (Mingo Township) January 21, 1892 from J. Zuell McConnell, Jr. for $165.00.

HAMPTON GREEN the second  married ROSA MACK in 1871. On November 4, 1904 they purchased 50 acres of property for $ 90.00 in Hemingway, South Carolina (Johnson Township) from Simon and Sylvester Poston. In reading this deed it’s clear he owns property, but this is the first deed recorded in the Kingstree South Carolina  courthouse.

RHINA  married TRAVIS MCGEE in 1867.  There’s no deed located in the Kingstree, South Carolina courthouse. However, on GEORGE DORSEY  mortgage deed it clearly states TRAVIS  property is "west" of GEORGE DORSEY. The Three Rivers Historical Society in  Hemingway, South Carolina archives the Tax Treasure Books. TRAVIS MCGEE is listed in the 1884, 1885 and 1901 for paying taxes on land and personal valuables. There are no records listed from whom he purchased his land.

ROZENA the youngest child married JEFFRAND WHITE in 1872. There’s no deed located at the Kingstree, South Carolina courthouse for property purchased by JEFFRAND but according to George Dorsey’s mortgage deed JEFFRAND  land is "east" of GEORGE DORSEY.  JEFFRAND is also listed in the 1884,1885 and 1901 Treasure Tax Book for paying taxes on land and personal property. 

On November 28, 1917 four young fiery men purchased  333 acres of property for $ 4000.00 from Lawrenc B. Steel.  George and Grace Dorsey sons MOSE & PETERSON, Rozena and Jeffrand White son STEPHAN and friend CHARLEY CHANDLER was the  next generation to continue to exercise their right to purchased large amounts of property. The area of property is called "Sand Hill". In Nemith, Sc.

Mother Elvira gave her children the GOAL TO DESTINY, all her children beat the odds by living through slavery, experiencing freedom, reconstruction era, purchasing property, little or no education and today we honor her MEMORY

 

 

 

                        Mt Ararat Church and Cemetary

 

One can't have a Community without a place of worship.   

Mt Ararat was established JANUARY 20, 1892 conveyed and donated for $1.00 to Trustees S.D. McBride, Toney Scott and Sam Davis from D.D. Rhems, L.A. Rhems and F. Rhems  of Rhems and Sons Mercantile.   The Mt. Ararat African American  Episcopal Church as it was named situated on One (1) acre of property could only be used for worshipping only or land would have been reverted back to Rhems & Sons . 

Today the church no longer stands due to several fires however, the cemetary still remains in continued use.


 
Barnwell, South Carolina
ELVIRA
GRACE(dorsey)HAMPTON(green) RHINA(mcgee) ROZENA(white)

Oral history stated Mother Elvira and her children were slaves in Barnwell, South Carolina. Thanks to Rosena White death certificate, it supported the oral history.
Her death certificate was very resourceful. It gave proof ELVIRA was their mother.  MOTHER ELVIRA didn't have a last name listed on the death certificate...does it mean Rosena didn't know her mothers last name?  or was she actually from Ghana, Africa and no one could spell her tribal last name!!  BARNWELL was the given place of birth for Rosena.  The White family also gained more information, Joe Hicks is listed as Rosena's father and his place of birth was also of BARNWELL.  This to was another great find.  Anyone interested in doing reasearch, check the last name Hicks in the 1850 & 1860 Slave Schedule.
Unfortunately, I don't know who owned our family, but I'm strongly leading to MARION WASHINGTON SAMS. Many family members still don't understand the relationship in the family, I'll give everyone the short version.
Elvira is the mother of four children three girls and one boy.  GRACE the eldest who married GEORGE DORSEY (dorsey).  HAMPTON GREEN married ROSALINA MACK (green).  RHINA married TRAVIS MCGEE (mcgee).  ROZENA married JEFFRAND WHITE
(white)
These are the four MAIN family lines..


WHATS IN A NAME!

Although, DORSEY, GREEN, MCGEE and WHITE are the main lines of the family we can't forget the daughters who married. Your still immediate family if your name is....
WASHINGTON, NESMITH, SWINTON, SCOTT,MACK, WEAVER, CEASAR, MCCREA, MILLER, COOPER and MCKNIGHT.
 
 
 
THE ROAD FROM BARNWELL, SC TO WILLIAMSBURG COUNTY
 
 
One may never know how Elvira and her daughters settled in Nesmith and her only son landed in  Hemingway.  According to Rozena's death certificate the family traveled from Barnwell, SC after her birth, the year of the end o the Civil War in 1865.   Can this date be certain?  Lots of the dates I tend to question, however people often told of births through events, war and sometime crop seasons.      
Why was Hampton living in Hemingway, SC?  There were lots of Green's living in Barnwell, SC.  Did Hampton get sold or leased to a Green family that lived in Hemingway?  Could this be the reason for Elvira to travel to the coast after the war?  Did Elvira and her daughter Grace travel from Barnwell with their mates? they both have the same married last name SAM.  The name SAM is indigenous to BEAUFORT and BARNWELL, SC. (ironic)   However, after the 1870 census was taken the last name Sam disappeared and DORSEY became our chosen last name.        
Again who knows.... they could have just journied alongside with the Black soldiers who gaurded Georgetown, SC.          UHMMM ............ 
 
 
 
 
GEORGE DORSEY AS A SLAVE
 
For over Four (4) years I searched for George Dorsey in Willamsburg County South Carolina. 
It never crossed my mind to look to the next county of Georgetown, South Carolina.
I came across a man named William Dawsey from Gallivants Ferry, South Carolina by way of England.  
William Dawsey was granted land in 1771 from the King England to settle the land.
The land was located in Georgetown in an area called Gapway Bay.  It was a large plantation
dealing in cattle, cotton and tobbaco.    During the latter part of the Civil War William Dawsey and family fled the area by ship that capsized on the North Carolina coast.     With their unfortunate deaths the Farm and servants where sold.  
I was mesmerized by the finding.  When I saw the Invetory list of names with  two belonging to me, sent me over edge.       GEORGE AND GRACE ESTER!!!   That's his mother......
 
FINALLY!    
 
I was able to read who came to purchase items and servants. JACK JOHNSON stood out to me the most.  The Johnson family has been apart of our family beginning.  It makes sense why the relationship is so strong.  One of our older family members who passed away around 2001 who had to be 100 years old according to the US census.  She remembered vividly serving dinner to JACK JOHNSON at my ggggrandfather house MOSE DORSEY, son of GEORGE DORSEY.  In 1917 400 acres of land was purchased  in Nesmith, Sc area called SAND HILL from Mr. Steele for $4000.00.  All my deeds complete that statement but it took knowledge to know JACK JOHNSON put the money up for MOSE, PETERSON DORSEY, STEPHEN WHITE AND CHARLEY CHANDLER.  When the loan was paid in full a dinner was served in large two story home of MOSE AND MARTHA DORSEY.  
Thank you for your memory and God bless you RHODIE SCOTT may you rest in PEACE!          
 
One must remember the War is going on but I have no fact stating Jack Johnson Purchased George and his mother Grace Easter.  However, George did settle in the same community of JACK JOHNSON IN NESMITH.   
 
 
 
THE RITE TO VOTE

George Dorsey is truly a man before his time. I located him in the January 1896 Mingo Township, Williamsburg County South Carolina voter registration book. George Dorsey was 53 years old listed on line 14 page 6.
In 1867 the 15th Amendment gave African Americans the right to Vote; but not ratified until March 30,1870. Opposition was waiting as he casted his vote. Our George Dorsey had to meet qualifications such as the grandfather clauses, literacy requirements and poll taxes. The right to vote was short lived and White Americans made sure of that. African Americans didn't actually get to vote freely until the 1964 with the Civil Rights Movement.

You all can be proud to say your grandfather GEORGE DORSEY was one of many who lead the struggle for the freedom to VOTE.

                                                                 The Will of George Scott

 

The last Will and Testament of George Scott was written February 7, 1892.     This find was remarkable however, it wasn't his Will which fasinated me it our own GEORGE DORSEY was executor of this document.       Silas Nesmith and A.F. Tucker were witness and annexed the writing of this Will. The document established his son Ned Scott beqethed 165 acres of property.       His grandchild AMIE MCGEE was named in the will.          His daughter died prior to his Will and AMIE father was a MCGEE....was he our MCGEE?          I'm sure he was, but who? George Dorsey reported the death of George Scott on June 21 1913.

FAMILY did you know prior to 1949 our families were buried at the Belin Church (Blain to the local) and the Millpond. This Church is located in Nesmith and our family worshiped there every fifth Sunday. Clealand Belin a immigrant from France had the Church built in 1844 with slave labor. Although the
Church was intergrated, the African Americans had to sit in the balcony and could never participate in any functions of the Church. When viewing your 2001 family reunion journel you will see MILLPOND listed as burial site for Rozena White and George Dorsey because this is were they fellowshipped. Ironically, today the Church is on the National Registry as a landmark and I assume no one looked 100yrds over and saw the perished headstones that of our foreparents and slaves who built the church. Needless to say OUR fore family aren't nationaly being REMEMBERED.
 
 
GEORGE DORSEY HEADSTONE
 
 
GEORGE DORSEY the father of all DORSEY went to sleep wearing a large crown on his head.
When I located George Dorsey grave site it sat about 100 yrds from the Black Mingo River in Nesmith, SC.  I had no idea what I would find, if anything at all.  To my surprise I saw a mound of dirt with a tall headstone, well written, great condition with a bright light
 beaming down on the name.
 
    George Dorsey     
1843-1919
 
Here is one who is sleeping in faith and love.  An honest old servant.   He has been trusted with many things and was always found honest. His memory shall ever be  a guiding star to heaven.
 
  
As I've stated before he was a man his time.
 
 
 

Can anyone guess who was the first family member buried at the Mt. Ararat Church?  My GGGrandfather MOSE DORSEY. He was the third son from George and Grace Dorsey and he died in 1949.
