James Jolly Still

Abt 1784 - 1849  (65 years)

• Name	James Jolly Still  [1]
  Birth	Abt 1784	South Carolina   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Death	15 Nov 1849	Edgefield County, South Carolina   [1]
  Notes	James Jolly Still is buried in the Bean-Still Cemetery in Edgefield Co. S.C. His tombstone is marked with the deathdate, 15 Nov. 1849, "age 63 years". His wife, Isabella's tombstone is marked with her deathdate, 1 April 1872, "age 86 years". Because James Jolly witnessed a deed in late 1805 (see above under David Still). I believe he had to be born by 1784 to be of age to witness, and the tombstone age of 63 years may be wrong. Edgefield Co. Deed Bk CC:Book 28:78. 21 March 1806. William Martin to Jolly Still 270a, on Underwood's Branch of Mine Creek of Saluda River adjacent lands of Isaac Bush, Benjamin Still, William Rotten, Ogden Cockeroft and Adam Stalnaker , originally granted to said William Martin 06 February 1804; witnessed by Benjamin Still, David Still. Signed William Martin, Mary Martin. Proved 15 April 1806 by David Still. Alexander Bean JP; recorded 25 March 1807. Some of my information comes from Winard King, Jolly's descendant, and from a writing by a descendant in March 1917 called "Partial History of the Bean Family" which Mr. King sent me. I have also culled information from Mr. King's correspondence to me in 1985 and first part of 1986. He died soon after 25 February 1986, date of his last letter to me. He was a very good researcher and very enthusiastic about genealogy.
