The DorrohsJames Dorroh left the eastern shores of County Antrim Ireland with his wife Jane Brown and 4 children, for Charleston SC. James was coming across the Atlantic to become a Pioneer in his own right. They sailed to Charleston from Belfast or Port Larne on a sailboat. SC Archives show that James Darah (Dorroh) lately arrived from Ireland with his family and was allowed 350 acres of land located on Duncan Creek. dated Nov 8 1772. This land was on a branch water of the Enoree River in then Berkeley County, SC.. It was surveyed by Patrick Cunningham on 9/30/1774. The property bound on one side by vacant land and the other by Roger Brown, brother of James' wife Jane Brown.
Several different spelling of the name DORROH, show Dorough, Mac Oara or Mac Oarac which means Son of Dubhadarach or in our language means Black man of the Oak or interpreted this to mean that the Dorrohs were brunettes and perhaps darker than many of the people of Northern Ireland and they were strong and sturdy as the oak. Other names were Darah, Darragh, Darrogh, Darra, Darrock, Dara, Darrah, Darrow, Darrough, Darral, Darroh, Dorra, Dorrah, Dorrough, Dorough, Doroh Durrah and Durrow.
When James Dorroh reached Charleston Sc with his wife and 4 children he secured a Negro Slave who he named Antrim from his old home county in Ireland. The two by horseback, proceeded across the state to old district 96 which was truly the back woods section of SC. After clearing the new ground he went back to Charleston for his wife and children. This section was not settled by whites until the 1760's and rather slowly until near the beginning of 1770 when the immigration picked up.
James and Jane Dorroh lived out their lives in SC. On the grave of James is written "Sacred to the memory of James Dorroh Sr, who departed this life, 24th of June 1820 age 82 yrs. Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord. He is buried in the Dorroh Cemetery located in a patch of woods called "Dorroh Fields" near Friendship Presbyterian Church. Beside his grave is that of his wife, Jane Dorroh died Oct 22, 1836 having lived to the extraordinary age of 98 yrs. All flesh is grass and all the goodlings thereof is the flower of the field..

It notes "Copied from the original will of Roger Brown on file in the office of the Judge of Probate for Laurens County, S.C. in Bo No. 4, pkg. No 7. I think there is also a copy of this will in the Laurens County public library. Duncan's Creek is in the northeast portion of Old Laurens District. It does say it was written in 1810 which is evidentally a typo since according to the book "Laurens County, South Carolina Wills, 1784-1840" by Colleen Elliott, p. 177, the will was written in 1818; this makes better sense since some of the children mentioned were born after 1810 up to 1817. Same book also mentions "24 Mar 1826. Appraisal of estate of Rodger Brown, dec'd of Laurens Dist. by Thos. Craig, James Farebourn and Moses Leek." The will:

Private, North Carolina Militia, John Sallis' Co muster roll, Granville, 6 Sept 1755"Robert Glidewell (b 1722) lived in Granville Co., NC in the 1746 Petition and 1750 censuses and in 1755 got land there as a result of his service in [NC] militia. His land was very close to the VA line and although he sold it, he did not have to move far to be on Little Blue Wing Creek in Halifax Co., VA. Nash Glidewell became well established in Halifax Co., VA, but their geographic separation in the tax lists is great enough to tell their descendants apart in the lists until they were alphabetized.
"Robert [b 1722] was probably married by 1746 since a person usually did not farm land until marriage. We find only one Byrd, John Byrd in Granville Co., NC and he could be Robert's brother-in-law, although they did not live close to each other. Putting this together with William Byrd getting land in Bertie Co., NC within the Granville District, we have formed the hypothesis that Robert married in NC a daughter of Will & Jean (Bell?) Byrd, [Jean was] a sister of Sutton Byrd of NC & SC. According to the book by Earl Byrd of Mississippi, this Byrd family can be traced back through Chowan Co., NC through Surry Co, VA, and back to England."
"We have included this branch on our Web Page, a printout of which is attached. Currently, we are looking at counties that Wm Byrd lived in in NC & SC, trying to find evidence for a Glidewell. This has already explained the source of the Early Byrd land holdings in Laurens Co., SC where Robert Glidewell (b 1722] moved about 1780.
