1820 - | Name | Wallace B. IOOR [1] | |
| Birth | 1820 | |
| Gender | Male | |
| HIST | Comments: I have been researching the Ioor family for close to a year after seeing the graves of three Ioor brothers in Coryell County Texas, Warren Miller Cemetery. They are: John L 1855-1894, William W 1857-1893 and Raven 1866-1883. Another brother, Thomas W Ioor is buried in Hall County Texas, Lakeview Cemetery. I believe their father is LTC Wallace B Ioor and their mother is Martha Bickerton Lewis Ioor. Wallace Ioor's parents and grandparents are as follows: Dr William B and Ann Bolyn Matthewes Ioor. John Ioor Jr and Elizabeth Bradwell. John Ioor Sr and Mary Wallace Ioor. Joseph Ioor, who helped lead colony from Dochester Mass. to form Dorchester SC in 1696. I believe Joseph Ioor is buried at old St George's Parish Cemetery, SC. But that is my thought, it isn't a fact. I would love to know where Wallace B Ioor is buried. I believe he died in Bedford Township, Cross County Arkansas in 1879 where he was living with his family. Please email me because I would love more info. Thank you. Laurel Berryhill laurelelaine5673@yahoo.com There is a good biographical write-up on Wallace Ioor's father William Ioor (4 January 1780-30 July 1850) in the Biographical Directory of the South Carolina House of Representatives, Volume IV, pp. 305-6. Among Wallace's siblings was a William Ioor, Jr. The Biographical Directory says that this William was born in 1809 and died in 1863. He is apparently the Col W.B. Ioor who is buried in the Waring family cemetery near Summerville. The tombstone says that Colonel W. B. Ioor was born 25 April 1809 and died 21st June 1853 leaving a widow. The widow apparently was Mrs. Cornelia H. Ioor, who was born 26 Nov. 1813 and died 19th June 1854. The good ladies who copied these tombstones evidently found worn inscriptions and wrote down 1853 and 1854 when the actual dates should have been either 63/64 or 83/84. That's my speculation. If they have copied the name accurately, the tombstones may complicate some of the oral history you have received. It seems to me that Wallace Ioor was probably born by 1820. He was therefore not "young" (according to my definition) in 1865. It is doubtful that his farm was in the close vicinity of Hilton Head. All the sea islands in that area were occupied by federal troops early in the war and they gave the land to the freed slaves. It has taken decades to get clear title to land on Hilton Head and Daufuskie. The legislature finally had to create clear titles on Daufuskie. I doubt that Wallace Ioor merely returned to this area and took up residence. In addition, I have no evidence that the Ioor family held real estate either near Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach. The Ioor family had one or more plantations in St. Georges, Dorchester, Parish northwest of Charleston for decades. The parents of William Ioor (1780-1850) were John Ioor and his wife Elizabeth ____. The Biographical Directory says her maiden name was Bradwell, but I have seen no confirmation of this. John Ioor was born in April 1740 and died on 19 December 1790. This John Ioor was the son of John Ioor, The birthdate of the father has been transcribed from his tombstone (erroneously in my view) as July 1722. He reportedly died on September 4 or 15, 1772, although the tombstone says September 12, 1772. This information comes from a book entitled "A South Carolina Family: Mills-Smith." It is available in Columbia, Charleston, Savannah, the Library of Congress, and other libraries. It contains some inadvertent errors, but it is a no-nonsense family history. The parents of William Ioor (1780-1850) were John Ioor and his wife Elizabeth ____. The Biographical Directory says her maiden name was Bradwell, but I have seen no confirmation of this.
