DROZE GENERATION 1


I have not done a lot of research on this line, yet.
I would like to correpond with anyone interested in this line.

- JAMES HOWARD DROZE
According to his age (43) given in the 1850 South Carolina census for St. John's Berkeley Parish, he was born before September 18, 1807, based on the date of that census. In the 1860 South Carolina census for St. John's Berkeley Parish, Black Oak Post Office, his age (56) indicates that he was born before June 21, 1804, based on the date of that census. His occupation is given as "farmer" in both censuses, with a real estate value of $147 in 1850. He had $800 in real estate and $573 in personal property by 1860. He married REBECCA BALLENTINE about 1834. I believe that since his first four children were born in the Sumter District that he may have been married before. Based on this, the first child of this marriage would be child number four below who may have been named after her father. Based on her age (29) given on the census, she was born before September 18, 1821. Her age (44) given in the 1860 census would make her born before June 21, 1816. She was a daughter of JOHN J. and RULANEY BALLENTINE. They had issue below.
