Ansley vs. Timmons (SC 1825) A. A. 1794, requiring aliensto do militia and patrol duty

The Militia System of South-Carolina: being a digest of the acts of Congress concerning the...

By Martin Strobel, Benjamin Elliott

Page 28 (notes at bottom)

 

"The A. A. 1794, requiring aliens to do militia and patrol duty, is neither against the constitution, nor the laws of nations, - Ansley v. Timmons, 3 M'Cord, 329."

 

The case names George Timmons as the fine collector for the 17th Regiment, SC Militia in 1825. Ansley was English citizen living and working as a merchant in SC for an extended period but did not want to serve in the militia. The court concluded that if he did not want to serve he could move out of the State. There is no personal information on where these men were and nothing else about George Timmons. I do not know where the 17th regiment was in 1825... It was organized for the War of 1861 in Richland County. It does not make clear whether Timmons was a member of the 17th Regiment or a fine collector for the State. It is inferred that Ansley had failed to appear for duty with the 17th.

Note on Child 4: Sarah TIMMONS

The will of Thomas TIMMONS, St. Bartholomew's Parrish, 1756, lists sister Sarah Gallery of Lurgan, county Armagh, Ireland.

 

The Linen industry in Ireland was established in 1698 by Louis Crommellin, a French Huguenot; refugee who was appointed by William III to organise the entire linen industry.

 

The Huguenot Settlements in Ireland, by Grace Lawless Lee, 1936, ISBN: 0788420054

 

"by intermarriage with the Anglo-Irish population, and the Anglicization

of the French names, the settlements grew indistinct, and little now

remains to mark them"

 

"The most important settlement north of Dublin and perhaps the most

important in Ireland where that country is concerned, was established in

the ruined village of Lisnagarvey in 1698: other colonies, more or less

off shoots of this are to be found in Dundalk and Lurgan..."

 

Lurgan is marked on a map in the book a Huguenot weaving center.

Lurgan became known for Linen, according to the book linen and such were "unknown" in the north until

the French arrived.
