| Notes |
- Although the various land/court documents including in these
notes state Michael Waldrop was the father of James Waldrop,
it is still unclear as to which Michael is his father. Since it was
stated in Michael Waldrop Senior's records that he had re-located
from Laurens to Spartanburgh county by 1786, that I have placed
this James with this Michael. I have not ruled out that it also
could be the younger Michael, although based on when the
younger Michael first owned land, and the year of birth of James,
it is unlikely.
