Married:
- MARRIAGE: Laurens and Spartanburg Counties were part of the 96th district,created
in 1769.
Laurens County, SC was created in 1785, from the 96th district. Spartanburg County, SC
was also created in 1785, from the 96th district.
From the e-mail correspondence of Joyce Moore: About Richard Michael Waldrop,
I came across that in a court documentin Maury Co., Tennessee. Michael Jr. got into
a fight with someone or something and I guess the whole family got involved. At one
point the papers refer to him as Richard Michael Waldrip. I thought it was a fantastic
find. Thereis a Richard Waldrop in Laurens Co., S.C.. I think that is significant and
bears looking into. I feel that he was some kin.
If Richard Michael Waldrop was born about 1774-1775, as some records suggest, then
he most likely would have been still living with his father in 1790 & possibly the 1800
census.
