• Notes

  My Note: I don't know why 2 wives and 2 sets of children are presented. More research needed to clear this up (2025) Estate of James Banks (Box 12 Pack. 235 Abbeville Courthouse, South Carolina 1811): Inventory made 24 Jul 1794 by Thomas Banks admnr. by Hickerson Barksdale, William Goodman, Pyrum Olds. He shows up in the 1810 [Pyrum Olds] and 1830 [Pyrom Oles] Abbeville, SC, censuses. In the 1810 Abbeville census, he is age 40-45 with 1 female age 40-45 and 2 males 10-15, 1 male 16-20, 1 female 0-10, 1 female 10-15, and 1 female 16-20 with no slaves. On 12 Feb 1821 in Abbeville, Pyrum and James Olds and Peter Downey put up $300 so that Pyrum could be the guardian of Melinda Banks, under age 14. In 1830, Pyrom Oles is in the Abbeville census on p. 83 near John V. Oles. Check this. From the Winsor Dixon/Holliday Collection at http://files.usgwarchives.net/nc/dobbs/bios/dixon01.txt : INDENTURE 14 Sept 1793 – Byrum Olds of Abbeville County and state of South Carolina to John Holliday of Glasgow County – for valuable consideration (no amount given) 1/6 part of all the land left by Arthur Olds, father of said Byrum Olds which was direct to be divided between the said Byrum, Gideon, Allegood, Jolly, Evans, and Frederick Olds the sons of said Arthur Olds, dec – also 1/7th part of personal property which was valued to 963 pds, also all the right of the said Byrum to the aforesaid estate which would be his Byrum (x) Olds WIT W.
