Census infor on the Arnetts who started in South Carolina- Old Edgefield District- courthouse Abbeville- as well as in Spartanburg and ended in Wilkes County, Georgia and points west

Again I, Susan Aldridge at susanaldridge2000@yahoo.de would like to say that John Quirns Arnett is not related to the Arnot/Arnett family of German descent who came to Fairfield District SC in the early days. John Quirns Arnett moved to Fairfield District but am not sure why- he married Eliza T. Coleman while in SC. John Q. Arnett was born in GA. His brother was William George Arnett. Their father was William Arnett b. 1776 who married Sarah Glaze. They are descended from Edward Arnett and wife Ann of Edgefield District SC and Wilkes Co GA. They are related to John Quern of Spartanburg SC and Wilkes GA, originally of Maryland and probably a Quaker who came to Wrightsborough GA while the British had control of GA as mostly an Indian hunting ground.

John Quirns Arnett  m. (2nd ) Eliza T. Coleman m. early 1837, born 13 October, 1817, died November 28, 1890. (Daughter of Robert Fitz Coleman and Susan Feaster). 
Eliza died in 1890,buried at the family graveyard, where her parents are also buried. 
This is near Buena Vista, always called the "Coleman" graveyard. I find a reference 
to a Buena Vista Plantation at Buckhead in Fairfield County, South Carolina. 
It is associated with the Feaster family.
She was married four times - Arnett was the third spouse. Her 4th husband Wesley Mayfield had lived in their house in 1850 while the Arnetts lived in Fairfield SC- see census. Mayfield was younger than she by 3 years.  Born March 1, 1820, died May 12, 1912.
This could be her stone- it is destroyed and there is no other stone for her in Coleman cemetery- her last husband is purported to be buried on top of her grave.

Eliza T. Coleman, 3rd daughter, married Martin Coleman (brother of William,
     who married her sister, Drusilla). She was only 13 years old at
     time of marriage, was a widow in 6 months. A year or so later
     married James Brennan. To them one child was born, a girl named
     Mary, who lived to be 4 years old. Said to be a most beautiful
     child. So strikingly beautiful, that her looks were spoken of 50
     years after her death by relatives of her mother, who also was
     called a beautiful girl, blue eyed and brown haired. She was a
     widow again & married the 3rd time before she was twenty, to John
     Q. Arnette. Of this marriage were--Feaster, Berry, Susan and Robert
     Coleman. Feaster and Berry went west after the War, died leaving no
     children. Susan, also a beauty of her mother's style, married her
     mother's first cousin, Andrew Cameron. Three boys were born to
     them--Robert, Andrew and Sam. The two first died young, very
     beautiful children. Before the birth of Sam, the father, a
     physician, died ot consumption, [in Lincoln County, Ga.] The bereft
     wife went home to her mother, where the little boy who never saw
     his father, came to comfort her the few years she lived. Then the
     grandmother, who had gone thru so much of sadness and trouble, her
     only daughter gone when she so much needed her, in old age, raised
     this grandson. Years before Mr. Arnett had died, and for the 4th
     time Eliza entered the matrimonial state, when her youngest son,
     Robert, was 16 years old, marrying Wesley Mayfield who was a kind
     husband and a father to her daughter and son.  She, with Mr. 
     Arnett, went to live in Georgia, where her two sisters and brother
     lived, supposedly soon after they married. Mr. Arnette died there. 
     She came back and lived till her death in 1890, on land left her
     by her father, her home being near where he and Susan Feaster
     settled, also near where they are buried, and where she and her
     daughters are buried.  Mr. Mayfield lived on at the old home till
     his death two years ago, being 96 years old. The grandson, Sam,
     grew to manhood, graduated in medicine, and practiced his
     profession, until his health failed. He, too, died of consumption. 
     He was the last of the Cameron name, is buried at
     
- 310 - .

     Salem Presbyterian Churchyard, where also later his uncle, Dr. R. C. 
     Arnette, was buried. 
        Robert Coleman Arnette was youngest child of Eliza. He and his
     sister grew up at a thne when live was easy and enjoyable for young
     people in the country. There were slaves to carry on the work,
     making bountiful living for all. There were many young cousins
     within their circle of acquaintances, who were much together,
     lovely girls and fine young men, many of them musicians, and all
     loved to dance. All had riding horses, and the distance between
     homes did not count.
