Searchingfor Susanna
Background
For many yearsand by many peoplethe ancestorsof MosesHendricks
b ca 1754-1757d lg37 pickensDistrict,SC wife
Susannahavebeenwritten about and researched.
In the beginningmany thought Moses Hendrickswas from Virginia.
Moses was thoughtto be originallyconnectedto the
virginia Hendrickclan (late 1600s)from old King and
Queencoi, VA. This being the franceHendrickwife Janegroup now
known as the Pamunkey(Virginia) Hendrick.There certainlywere
a number of Moses Hendrick in Southsid! Virginia
wherethe HanceHendrickclan migratedover time. Howevei
as recordsbecamemore availablethe chancesdimmed. The
Moses Hendrickson of JamesHendrick d 1760of the Halifax
co., VA area proved to be fiom the pamunkey(Virginia)
Hendrickclan' was a RWS and marriedNellie overby in 1796in
Lunenbergco., v,q which was all documentejin virginia

So what is the fussaboutsusanna? well a lot of time.just
a singleclue when searchingyour ancestors
will breaddown the
brick wall you havebeenfacing'For a numberof years'su.rnnu"*u,
proposedto be a ct.nn. I{oweverfrom otherssearches
and some that I did in virginia there show little chance
of this being true. So what and how could you possibly,tell
what
Susanna'smaidenname.was?There is being collected
everyilay an'mtDNA data basein which, if you have
a descendant
ffom one of Susanna'sdaughters,daughtersof, daughters
oq on ao*n to a daughterof living today you might get
some
namesto matchthe mtDNA patternto.
I posedthis questionto BennettGreenspanof FTDNA.
Here is the answerI got. ,,Thebestyou could hopefor
in thrs case
would be a match on the mtDNAPlus test that gives you
about a 50%ochanceof sharinga commonmatrilineal

What is the mtDNA plus test?

What Do You Need to do to Find a Living Person
Who has the Right mtDNA?
How do you find a living person to run the mtDNA test on? You study the ancestorsof the daughtersof Moses Hendricks
maniedSusanna.Below is just one of many peoplewho satisfythis conditionof havingthe mtDNA, which is passeddo"r'n

MARIAH HARDIN'S GRAVE IS DESCREATED

Usually, if relativesor fliends did not arrangeto pay for burial elsewhere,inmatesof the Poor Farm were simply buriedon its
property.The cemeteryareawas often called the "Pauper"or "Pofter'sField."

What were Poor Farms? Poor Farmswere tax-supported
could not supportthemselves.
They were startedas a mcthodof providinga lessexpensive(to the taxpayers)alternativeto
what we would now call "welfare" - what was called "outdoor relief in those days. People requestedhelp frorn the
communityOverseerof the Poor (sometimesalso calleda Poor Master)- an electedtown official. If the needwas greator
likely to be long-term,they were sent to the poorhouseinsteadof being given relief while thcy continuedto Iive
independently.
Sometinres
they were sentthereeven if they had not requested
help from the Overseerof the Poor.l'hat was
usuallydonewhenthey were found guilty of beggingin public,etc.
During the secondquafterof the l9th century,as the industrialrcvolutionhad its effect on the LjnitedStates,the imporlation
of the factory systemfiom Englandwas followed alnrostimmediatelyby the full scaleadoptionof whal seemedto be an
inherentcomponentof that system-- the Poor Farm System.These Poor Farms wcre built with great optimism.They
promisedto be a much more efficientand cheaperway to providerelief to paupers.And there was a ferventpopularbelief
that housingsuchpeoplein institutionswould provide the opportunityto reform them and cure them of the bad habitsand
characterdefectsthat were assumedto be the causeoftheir poverty.
By mid-century,peoplewerebeginningto questionthe successof the PoorFarmmovement.Investigations
were launchedto
examinethc conditionsin PoorFarms.They had provento be much moreexpensivethan had beenanticipated.
And they had
not significantlyreducedthe numbersof the "unworlhy poor" nor climinatedthe needfor "outdoorrelief'.
Thc Civil War was the nrajorpreoccupationof American societyduringthe third quarterof the century.Major systcmatic
changesin socialwelfarepolicy had to await calmertimes.lronically,the falteringPoor Farm systemwas shelteredfrom the
impactof the povertyproducedby the war itself.The war createdwidows and orphans,and it deprivedelderlymembersof
familiesof the supportthey might have had in their old age had their sonsand grandsonslived or remainedable to work.
However,a relativelysmallproportionof thesecasualtiesof the war everwoundup living in Poor Farms.
By 1875.after the regulationof Poor Farmsin most statesbecamethe responsibilityof the StateBoard of Charities,laws
were passedprohibitingchildren fiorn residing in poorhousesand removingmentally ill patientsand otherswith special
needsto more appl'opriatefacilities.
The Poor Farm population was even more narrowly defined during the twentieth century when social welfare legislation
(Workman'sCompensation,
unemploymentbenefitsand Social Security)beganto provide a rudimentary"safetynet" for
people who would previouslyhave been pauperizedby such circumstances.
Eventually,the poorhousesevolvedalmost
exclusivelyinto nursinghomesfor dependentelderly people.But poor farms left orphanages,
generalhospitalsand mental
hospitals-- for which they had provided the prototype-- as their heritage.
Somewherealong the line, a superintendentof the OconeePoor Farm decidedthat his Potter'sField was hard to maintainand
not very attractive. The weedsaround the field-stonegrave markerscould not easily be cut - in those days they didn't have
