WHAT WAS A "MEMORIALIST"?
Q. Land transactions in the pre-Revolutionary War period may make reference to memorials or to the title-holder as a memorialist. What was a memorial or a "memorialist"?
A. Characteristics of memorials:
1. A detailed description of the land giving the quantity, county, location, names of boundaries, adjoining landowners and the amount of quit rent due according to the grant.
2. "Chain of title" must be given, including the dates of mesne conveyances, other titles, deeds or wills pertaining to the property, the names of grantors, grantees, devisors and devisees, or any other person from whom the current claimant derived his title.
3.The transfer of property, unless it were at own lot, was to be recorded in a memorial at the Auditor General's office within 18months of the transfer. If the title was not registered there was a fee twice the amount of the quit rent. Exceptions to the penalty were minors who were allowed two years after coming of age and widows who were allowed two years to register. Persons who lived outside the province were allowed four years.
Further defined as: Someone who had a North Carolina land patent prior to the survey of the North Carolina-South Carolina border in 1772 who, following the survey, found his land to be in South Carolina would be required to make an application for a change of land title from North Carolina to South Carolina. (In this case, everyone who had land west of the Catawba river that was within eleven miles of the North Carolina-South Carolina boundary line of 1772. The land was called the "New Acquisition." Exception: any land in the Catawba Indian Land. The Catawbas had held title from South Carolina to a 144,000
acre tract since the Treaty of Augusta which was signed in August 1763.)
Where are these records'? In the South Carolina Archives, Columbia, S. C. in books
titled "Memorials."
One of' the memorials described above:
In "Memorials," Vol. II, p. 483: a Memorial by William Ratchford seeking title to 600 acres on the Catawba River, December 27, 1772. "A Memorial exhibited by William Rachford to be reg. in the Auditors Office of a plantation or tract of Land Containing 600 Acres situate as Supposed when run out to be in Mecklenburg County, N Carolina S of Catawba river above George Catheys land & Joyning George Davison's Survey begining at said Davison's running S 69 DE 38 Chas to a Stake thence N 21 D E 80 Chs. to a Red oak thence N 69 D W75 Chns. to a Stake thence S21D W70 Chs. to a Red oak thence to the first Station Originally Granted the 23d of Feb 1754 to Margaret Dickey Alias Davis and Conveyed to William Rachford by Lease and release bearing date the 15th & 16th of

Worthy genealogist and Carroll cousin James H. Downing has gone onto his reward, but some
foresighted individual about 15 years ago saved the major pages of data, but intentionally elected
not to collect the individual links which as best I recall were photos of the family of person with the
name with the link. So it you want to see the below and more links in earlier WoWiWe earlier formed
site just do a click on the below link which is hoped to be a Technicolor click on my collecting link.
However this link into the web of interlinked pages as of 29th of March, 2005 gets much fine work:
WELL DONE JAMES DOWNING, who should be not forgotten by those of Carroll & Ratchford descent!

William Ratchford |
"Mary Carroll RatchfordBirth: 1728Death: Aug. 3, 1815Mary Carroll is believed to have been born to Joseph Carroll and wife Janet Swansey, under one form of the wife's name, about 1728, give or take a year or so, in the north of Ireland, possibly in the Carroll home county of County Tyrone. By 1740, births of younger siblings are indicated to have occurred in Chester County, Pennsylvania to which the family had recently immigrated from Ireland. The family was and primarily remains Presbyterian in faith and joined early in the waves of immigration of the Scots-Irish, out from the reasonably heavily settled eastern Pennsylvania areas to land recently opened for settlers in the Carolinas, ending up obtaining land on what would become the border of North and South Carolina.Mary Carroll was second born of nine known children. It is probable that Mary and her husband William Ratchford joined with some number of young couples to undertake the arduous travel to the wilderness location into which they selected to build a new life with plentiful lands and resources, and few amenities, if any, almost certainly along the route which came to be known as the Great Wagon Road from southeastern Pennsylvania into the mid-central Carolinas.Among Mary Carroll's other eight siblings and other family, some may have joined her and her husband, at the time of their immigration to their new home. It is recorded by family lore that her parents traveled to the Carolinas in 1750 and that is probably when many of the Carroll family and relatives went, all together for the aided strength in numbers and in close family.Mary Carroll Ratchford's children include: Moses, John, Samuel, William, Joseph, Elizabeth, Margaret, Mary, Abigail, Ann, George and Jean. A will extract from the last testament of William Ratchford leaving bequests, large to de minimis, for Mary and these twelve surviving children is available for viewing.Note: NC Ratchford MatriarchBurial:Bethel Presbyterian CemeteryCloverYork CountySouth Carolina, USARecord added: Jan 30 2007"
