Notes:

In the book, 'Deep Enough for Ivory Bills', by James Kilgo, the author describes several hunting trips which go into the deep forests surrounding the Savannah River. On one of these trips, he stumbles across an old grave yard which was quite grown up and hidden. He wrote down the tombstone inscriptions and later found information about the site. It was the Old Greenwood Plantation, which was settled by David DeLoach before the Revolutionary War. He describes the site as being 'near Hampton County on the Savannah River'. The tombstone inscriptions were:
DeLoach David died 13 July 1815, age 63
Rebeckah wife of David died 10 October 1807, age 40
James died 1824, age 27 Sarah wife of James died 1825
David infant died Feb 1795
Jepthah infant died Mar 1805
Elevia wife of William B. DeLoach died 27 Nov 1822, age 18

These inscriptions pose some questions concerning the children of David DeLoach. In Frampton Errol Ellis's 'Some Historic Families of South Carolina', he states that David (1752-1815) was the son of Michael DeLoach and Dorcas Still. He goes on to say that 'He (David) left three sons:
a. William B. - who married Kate Gohagan and left a number of children.
b. David - born about 1798 and was the father of Rebecca Jane who married her cousin Michael DeLoach, they being the grandparents of Ben T. DeLoach, Clerk of Hampton County.
c. Redding Cannon DeLoach - who married 1st Martha Ann Thomson and 2nd Esther Patterson. One child by the second mariage was Freelove Patterson DeLoach who married Capt. William Lambert De Pass of Camden and is mentioned as being a cousin of Col. Dan H. Ellis in the war diary of Emily Caroline Ellis.'

The information concerning James DeLoach indicates that he was one of David's sons, and that Sarah was his wife. Why didn't Ellis include him? The information concerning Elevia indicates that she was either the first wife of William B. DeLoach, or could have possibly been the wife of William B. DeLoach, Jr. The dates of death for the infants David and Jepthah indicate that they were children of David and Rebeckah. Who, then, was the David mentioned by Ellis?

David married Rebeckah (DeLoach) about 1784 in Edgefield County, , , South Carolina. Rebeckah was born about 1767; died on 10 Oct 1807 in Hampton County, , , South Carolina; was buried on 13 Oct 1807 in Old Greenwood Plantation, , Hampton County, South Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
