My friend Michael Parks helped me discover my ancestors. He traced our German line back to 1637 and our Irish/Welsh line back to 1700.
Our ancestors fought on both sides of the Civil War. My Southern roots were unknown to me as I assumed we were all Northerners, having settled in Pennsylvannia and New Jersey.

South Carolina Marriage Index, 1641-1965 Name: Semeon Attaway Spouse: Melinda Trotter Marriage Date: 25 Dec 1851 Source: Edgefield Marriage Records-Carlee McClendon-Pottersville Museum
Note: this implies that Frances Attaway -- first wife of Simeon above had died prior to 1851. "Savannah Attaway" who married Henry Doherty was born priro to the marriage above. Most sites state that Simeon's first wife was Francis Hazel There is disagreement on this issue. Other sites assign Savannah mother to Melinda but this clearly cannot be true given the marriage date.

Hi Barbara, Sethfield Hazel was the son of Amy Johnson and Jonathan Hazel. Jonathan was the son of Henry and Mary Hazel.
Jonathan was born about 1780 in SC. His father Henry Hazel was born 1740 in Scotland and died 1823 in Edgefield County,
SC. Henry was a son of Harry Hazel. Harry was born before 1720 in Scotland and died Feb. 1805 in Old 96 Dist., SC.
Harry came to SC with Edward Culbreth and settled in what is now in the northwestern section of Saluda Co.,
SC.
The History of Edgefield County by John Chapman says that Harry was head of the family.
Hope this helps you.My maternal grandmother was a Hazel.
Jo Anne
http://genforum.genealogy.com/hazel/messages/576.html The Charles L. Early notebook states that "Henry Hazel came with his family from Scotland to SC in 1756 and settled in Edgefield District. He served with SC forces during the Revolutionary War. He was either father or grandfather to Darling Hazel." Unfortunately, the only source he cites is Chapman's History of Edgefield. The database on ancestry.com of Directory of Scots in the Carolinas, 1680-1830, lists a W. Hazel arriving in SC between 1717 and 1737. Would be interested in any more info you might have which would push the line back from Henry. Thanks

What brought Henry Doherty to South Carolina immediately after the Civil War to Edgefield county SC where he married Savannah Francis Attaway about 1867?
See this http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/edgefield/ about the Edgefield pottery industry.
Henry states on two censuses (1870 and 1880) that he is a potter.
See this dissertation from Univ. of Illinois about the Edgefield Pottery industry
http://www.histarch.illinois.edu/Edgefield/CalfasDiss2013.pdf
From page 58: "There has been left with us a Porcelain Milk Pot, manufactured in Philadelphia, from a specimen of white clay, from the Chalk Hills, as they called, in Edgefield District in this state. We understand that the supply of this clay is inexhaustible. As the Rail Road is expected to pass immediately through these lands, this clay may one day become an article of inconsiderable value to the proprietors of the soil, as well as profit to the Rail Road Company." Edgefield Hive March 1830
From page 155: "Prior to the establishment of the Pottersville kiln site, Dr. Landrum traveled to Philadelphia to learn about porcelain production techniques (Smedley 1883; Steen 2012). Smedley discussed Landrum's visit to Philadelphia and claimed that, 'he visited potters in Pennsylvania seeking advice on making porcelain and fine wares' (Smedley 1883; Steen 2012). Genealogical clues suggest that Dr. Landrum's visit to Philadelphia potteries occurred at some point around 1810. This approximate 1810 date would have been precipitated by his 1809 discovery of high-quality clay in the Edgefield district. On July 15, 1809, the Augusta Chronicle printed an article in which Dr. Landrum claimed to have discovered high quality clay in the Edgefield district that possessed the compositional characteristics necessary to manufacture ceramics (Augusta Chronicle July 15, 1809). Additionally, his northward journey, meant for the acquisition of porcelain knowledge, occurred in advance of his 1812 request to the state of South Carolina for financial support for the establishment of a porcelain production facility in Edgefield (Landrum 1812). For Dr. Landrum to successfully produce porcelain he had to acquire an understanding of the application process of alkaline glaze."
Did Henry Doherty move to Philadelphia from his birthplace in Massachusetts for the pottery business?
"Dave" Drake was the most famous potter from Edgefield SC. He was a slave who worked until the mid 1870s. See this:
Why can I not find Henry's Civil War service record. He is 22 years old and was a prime candidate for service. He is nowhere in the Union Army. But then I found this: http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?atlantic,city::doherty::1212.html "Henry Doherty Civil War veteran in Atlantic City, NJ 1890. Where buried?" Posted by: Bob MacAvoy (ID *****9765) Date: October 18, 2002 at 10:14:03, 1212 of 2438 Searching for the date of death and burial place for Henry Doherty a Civil War veteran, He was living in Atlantic City, New Jersey according to the 1890 Veterans Census.
He served in the Confederate Army! I then went to fold3.com (the military records web site - now owned by ancestry.com) There he is! A Private in the First South Carolina Cavalry His compiled military service record says:

The First South Carolina Regiment of Cavalry as formed in 1861 and ordered up to Northern Virginia in the fall of 1862. Assigned to Gen. Wade Hampton's Brigade, they participated in numerous battles and engagements such as Chambersburg, Fredericksburg, Brandy Station, Upperville, Gettysburg, Bristoe, Kelly's Ford, and Mine Run. Ordered South to defend their native state and surrounding areas in the fall of 1864, the First South Carolina Cavalry served in the defense of the city of Savannah, and the Campaign of the Carolinas. After four years of honorable and gallant service, the First South Carolina Cavalry ended the war with the Army of Tennessee in April of 1865.

"There are two known industrial pottery operations. The first, the Southern Porcelain Company, was near Bath, S.C.
SouthernPorcelain was first noted in the literature by Edward Atlee Barber (1904/1976 edition) who illustrated
the company’s “S.P.Company Kaolin S.C.” mark. Ceramic historian Garrison Stradling produced a detailed study
in 1996. I will briefly summarize his results, referring the reader to the original for details on this operation.
Southern Porcelain Company was established in 1856 by potters and businessmen associated with the U.S. Pottery Company
in Bennington Vermont. They brought northern workmen, and managers. Notable potters include Josiah Jones, Christopher
Webber Fenton, and skilled modeler Daniel Greatbatch. They made a variety of wares, including plain white and cream
colored earthenware, high fired ironstone and porcelaineous stoneware tablewares, true porcelain, and
Bennington/Rockingham type wares. In addition they made alkaline glazed stoneware, porcelain insulators
and fire brick. The factory continued in operation until 1864, when a fire reduced it to rubble.
Examples of the marks used and wares produced at Southern Porcelain are shown in Figure 1, and 2.
Recently a local collector has made a collection of sherds from the site available for study.
These are under analysis at this writing.
