 William II WESTON, son of William WESTON and Catherine BLANCHARD.Born 1721 at Edenton, Chowan Co., NC, died 1796 at Richland Co., SC, 74 or 75 years Burial: Congaree, SC St. John Episcopal Church Military: received pension from the State of SC on 1 Oct 1875 for service under the command of Maj. Robert Lyell 20 Mar 1780 to 25 May 1780 (Rev. War) _______________________________________________________________________ Note: 2 moved from NC to Lower Richland Co. SC and built "Grovewood Plantation." From "A History of Richland County" by Edwin J. Green: William Weston and his wife, Sarah Luten, came to the "Fork" from Edenton, N. C., about 1750 and built their home not far from the station of Weston. A thicket on the Garrick Place marks the site. Here Mrs. Sarah Weston, the "Widow Weston," was living during the Revolution. Children of this couple were, it seems, Robert, who collected his mother's Rev olutionary claims; William, who married Grace Hirons and lived at Gum Tree near Congaree; James, a member of Capt. John Fairchild's company of rangers (1751); Thomas; Malachi; Grace, wife of Joel Adams. If Philip Raiford (III) married Judith Weston, she most probably was a daughter of this couple. From William and Grace Hirons Weston comes the well-known family of that name. _______________________________________________________________________ Historical Sites - Richland County Grovewood (Weston House), S.C.
