Notes by Dennis Wallace Johnson August 7, 2002:
Susan Caroline Lorick was known as "Pink" and was the youngest daughter of Nancy Anna (Ann) Stack and John William Lorick, Sr.
When Pink was 3 years old when her father died. Her mother remarried a few years later in 1839 to a Columbia/Lexington man named Jesse Drafts. (It is from their union that Dennis Wallace Johnson descended) Anyway, after marrying Jesse, Nancy Anna (Ann) Stack Lorick (now Drafts) moved with her children, and there was a pack of them, too, to Columbia.
Nancy Anna (Ann) Stack Lorick Drafts had had 11 children by her first husband, and out of these 11 all but 3 were still at home. (Poor, Jesse. I guess he knew what he was getting into) When Pink was 15 she ran away with the dancing master at the girls school she was attending.
Her mother's distress was only somewhat mitigated by the eventual knowledge that Pink had married the fellow whose name was Thomas B. Williams. Pink's stepfather, Jesse Drafts, a banker/entrepreneur by trade, immediately set about making it legally impossible for Pink or her new husband, Thomas B. Williams, to get a finger on any of Pink's inheritance due to her from her father's estate. Thomas B. Williams was only partially successful.
A quote from an equity case states: Jesse Drafts managed to secure $5000 of Susan Carline (Pink) Lorick's patrimony before Williams could squander it."All of this took place in 1849. In 1850 Pink and her husband moved to Georgia. In 1858 they divorced. In 1860 Thomas B. Williams committed suicide, or at least that is what Pink gathered from an article in the paper which read as follows: "Two Suicides on One Steamboat: On the last upward trip of the Victoria, a cabin passenger named T B Williams shot himself....while on board he was frequently heard to say he was 'willing to surrender'...." Makes one wonder who he was willing to surrender to - Pink or her angry stepfather? Anyway, to continue on with Pink's story; in November of 1860 while still in Augusta, GA she married her first cousin, Sanders Michael Lorick. He was quite rich in his own right so her stepfather didn't have to worry about him being a gold digger as old Thomas B Williams had evidently been. However, just in case his stepdaughter proved to be an idiot again, Jesse did not give her or her new husband the title to the plantation in which he had invested Pink's $5000 inheritance back in 1849; instead, he made Pink's brother, Solomon Lorick the trustee. This particular parcel of land had been the original Richland County plantation of Pink's father. Pink's oldest brother, John William Lorick, Jr. had been living there and running it, but conveyed it to his stepfather for Pink in 1849, hence the deed dated 1902 which states that in 1860 John W. Lorick conveyed a tract of land to Solomon C. Lorick in trust for Susan Caroline (Pink) Lorick's use, etc. etc.
