My response to Sara M. Stewart's e-mail about "Harper, Knox. McFadden"
follows:

About 1800 A.D. members of a Harper family owned four or five adjacent
tracts of land of about 100 acres each, less than a mile south west of
James and Rose Stewart's 1767 150 acre royal land grant (at the
intersection of the Chester Fairfield and Stover Creek about 8 miles west
of Great Falls, SC). Their land and adjacent tracts were bought and
combined into a tract of over 1000 acres by the Moore family, who had
some connection to a John Stewart. I think there was a Captain and a
Major Moore, probably about the time of the Civil War, and that the land
was owned by Fraziers during the first part of this century and was
bought by a Pulp Wood Company a generation ago.

A McFadden family has lived near Longtown in Fairfield County and was
associated with Longtown Presbyterian Church ( which was built by my
great great grandfather Thomas B. [Bankhead?] Stewart and a neighbor
named Wilds, on corners of their plantations).

Sincerely,
Stewart
