Newberry County, South Carolina History and Genealogy Volunteers Dedicated To Free Genealogy - Part of the Genealogy Trails Group Always Free, Always Updating Hi, my name is Dena and I'm your host for Newberry County Trails. My father's family originated and still live in Newberry County. My surnames are: Thomasson, DeHardt, Wilson, Suber, Dickert. Newberry County was formed in 1785 as a part of Ninety Six District, with the county seat in the town of Newberry. The community was named for Capt. John Newberry, Revolutionary War officer. This part of the country was settled largely by Scotch-Irish, English, and German immigrants in the mid-1700's. The German region was given the name Dutch Fork. This title is still carried to this day. Historians John Belton O'Neall (1795-1863) and David Duncan Wallace (1874-1951) were Newberry County natives, as was governor and U. S. Senator Coleman L. Blease (1868-1942).

I do not have records or data with which I could supply you information about your ancestors. Further, I cannot do research on your behalf. My "job" as an unpaid County Host volunteer, is to update this web site with new information as often as time permits.
