Addington, Volume II, U. S. A. and England, by Hugh M. Addington, Franklin Printing Company, Kingsport, TN, 1960.
On Line Copy of Addington, Volume II
This book is a valiant attempt at documenting Addington families with an emphasis
on the
descendants of Henry and Sarah Addington of South Carolina. However it
has many errors that
need to be corrected for the record. You can not fault the
author for his efforts but this was
written before inexpensive copying, microfilming,
computer files and other wide spread forms of
communication have improved our
ability to do genealogical research. The below corrections
are believed to be
supported by factual data known and obtained by the reviewer. Comments
and further
corrections are appreciated (email: addingd@yahoo.com)
pg 1
A copy of the old family bible quoted in line 1 shows the Bible was purchased in
1877 by John
L. Addington, a great grandson of Henry Addington and the family
data were entered at that
date or later. The Bible entry says Henry married Elizabeth
Buson. This apparently is the only
time that Henry's wife was referred to as
Elizabeth rather than Sarah and given the late date of
the record, it is probably
incorrect.

There is a record of Henry Addington renting a farm
in Loudoun County, Virginia in 1765 and
transferring the lease in 1767 so I think
Henry and his family first moved to Virginia and then
moved to SC between 1767
and 1772 (not in 1755).
The reference in Henry's will referring to putting
money to interest is directed to a grandson
Henry, the son of James. Son Henry
is mentioned in the will but little else is known about him.

Will
William Addington (A-1-1) bought the mill that Macalyn Lewellen
had built about 1819.
William owned it by about 1830 and a latter owner was
named Whipple and that is where the
name "Whipple Mill" came from.
Alcie could be a typo and really be Alice.
pg 2
Daughter Alice
Garrett is evidently deceased by 1833 when John mentions her children in his
will. It is not clear whether the Garrett family moved north or stayed in SC.
Joseph Addington (A-1-3) and his first wife Rachel Randel had three sons named
John Randel
Addington (b.1800), William Randel Addington (b.1802), and Joseph
Randel Addington (b.
1804). I believe John Randel Addington died sometime between
1815 and 1830 because of no
further references to him. William Randel and Joseph
Randel Addington both have many
descendants.
pg 3
list
of Joseph Addington (A-1-3) and his 2nd wife Celia Townsend should also include sons
Benjamin (b. 1824) and David (b. 1828)
2nd John (A-1-4), born 1777 moved
north with his father in 1806 and had a large family.
3rd Thomas (A-1-5)
is a son of John and Elizabeth (Heaton) Addington
5th through 11th on pages
3 - 6 are a continuation of the children of Thomas above and are
grandchildren
of John and Elizabeth (Heaton) Addington.
pg 4
2nd paragraph Rev.
George Elvin Addington's sons George Elvert Addington and Joseph
Harold Addington
were killed in a train accident in 1931 and are buried near their parents in
New Dayton/Bear Creek Cemetery.
pg 7
John Addington (A-1) did not
die in 1819 at Chester and is not buried in the old Ridgeville
Cemetery. John
Addington was living with his youngest son James according to the 1820 and
1830
census. John's will was recorded in Wayne County in August 1833. There is a John
Addington, grandson of John Addington Sr., who is buried in the Ridgeville Cemetery
with a
gravestone date of 1849. Several researchers believe that this gravestone
was misread as 1819
and recorded as that of John Addington, Sr. There also seems
to be some question about
whether John Addington, Sr. served in the Revolutionary
War. He is listed in the DAR
reference but many researchers feel that the book
is in error.
The 1910 reunion pamphlet mentioned can be seen on another
webpage at this site.
pg 8
Mary Addington married Thomas Roberts
on 26 Sep 1801 is South Carolina. Thomas died in
1831 in Wayne County, Indiana
and Mary died on 12 Mar 1866 in Hancock County, Indiana
Sarah Addington
married Phineas Roberts on 6 Nov 1806 and died 26 Aug 1814 in Wayne
County, Indiana.
Elizabeth died on 8 Mar 1841 in Wayne County, Indiana.
pg 9
James was the 7th child of John and Elizabeth (Heaton) Addington but John had
3 children by
his first wife Mary Lamb.
3rd paragraph The town of "Addington"
OK was founded by the sons of Jarrett Addington
(A-2-10-1) who was born in SC
in 1817. They later moved to TX and then later founded the
town of Addington
in OK.
One of the sons, Thomas L. Addington, did move to OK but did not
live in the town of
Addington. He is found in the 1910 and 1920 census of Canadian
County, OK
4th paragraph The father "James" (A-1-9) died in October
1860 in Anderson Co., Kansas
according to the 1860 mortality census. John L.
Addington (A-1-9-1) died on 1 Mar 1878 in
Hardin Co., Kansas. Nancy Fansher Addington
died 9 Mar 1878 in Hardin Co. according to one
record.
pg 17
It is uncertain what the Addington connection is with Juanita Violet Kolp.
The 1920 census lists a John N Kolp family with wife Bertha (age 39) and
daughter Janeta (age 9). Bertha is believed to be the daughter of Roscoe
Dodd. The 1870 census lists a William (age 41) Dodd family with wife
Melvina (age 34) and son Roscoe (age 11). The 1860 census lists a William
(age 31) Dodd family with wife Hannah (age 29) and son Roscoe (age 1).
This Hannah may be Hannah Addington, b. 1841, daughter of (A-1-3-3) Joseph
Randell Addington and his wife Mary Barker. That would make Hannah
(Addington) Dodd a great grandmother of Januita Violet Kolp.
Mary Addington, who married James C. Dodd, was born 6 Nov 1837, the daughter of James
and Susan (Kelly) Addington.
Thomas L. Addington is the son of James and Nancy
(Lewellen) Addington
pg 18
Elsworth Addington (A-1-9-5-5)
is the son of Thomas Lewallyn and Margaret (Woodward)
Addington, who was a son
of James Addington. (A-1-9)
Benjamin Addington (A-1-3-11, b.1824) is the
son of Joseph and Celia (Townsend) Addington.
pg 19
should be Joseph
Day (not Addington) was the first teacher of . . . .
David Addington (A-1-3-12,
b. 1828) is the son of Joseph and Celia (Townsend) Addington.
The reference
to some descendants living in St. Louis, MO refers to the Vern Addington family
who lived in St. Louis from 1959-1961, about the time that this book was pulished.
Lewis Addington (A-1-1-6-3, b. 1839) is the son of William and Mary (White)
Addington, who
was the son of William Addington, who was the son of John and
Mary (Lamb) Addington.
pg 21
This William Addington (A-1-1)
is the first son of John (A-1) and Mary (Lamb) Addington and
the grandson of
Henry and Sarah (Burson) Addington. He is not the second son of Henry and
Sarah
Addington.
The children of William were Joshua (or Joseph), Bishop, Patsy,
John, Jacob, William, Elsie,
Elizabeth, Joab. Jacob is only listed in this book
and is not found in any other records so his
name may be a mistake.
