Harriet Baxter Springs, youngest child of Richard Springs and his wife, Jean Baxter, was born December 27, 1802, in Lancaster District, S.C., on the Catawba lands.

She married in 1820 Dr. William Shakespeare Moore, and they settled on the north banks of the Catawba River, known as Indian land, where her husband commanded a large and lucrative practice of medicine, and engaged also in farming. Mrs. Moore more died in 1832 of scarlet fever, at the age of thirty-two years; two of her children, Richard and Mary, died with the same disease and were buried with their mother in the family burying ground at Unity Church, near Fort Mill, S.C. Mrs. Moore was the mother of eight children, only three of whom survived her, Jane Cynthia, William S. and Baxter Harriet.

Dr. Moore afterwards moved to Yorkville, S.C., having purchased the elegant home of Judge Smith. His second wife was the widow of Mr. Cushman and her maiden name was Jane Baxter Dinkins. She was a niece of the first wife and a daughter of Frederick Dinkins and his wife, Cynthia Springs. She was noted for her general information, intelligence and fine conversational powers. To this second marriage were born two children, Frederick, a handsome and gallant Confederate soldier, born June 12, 1835, at Yorkville, S. C.

To this second marriage were born two children, Frederick, a handsome and gallant Confederate soldier, born June 12, 1835, at Yorkville, S. C. He was one of the first to volunteer his services in the Confederate war and among the first who fell in battle, near Petersburg, Va., in 1851. His body was brought home and now lies in the cemetery of Yorkville, S.C.

Dorcas Emily Erwin was the second child of this union. She married her cousin, McDonald Dinkins, and they had one child, Mary, who married Mr. Henry. Mr. and Mrs. Dinkins make their home with them at St. Petersburg, Florida. Mr. Henry is a successful and prosperous businessman.

Jane Cynthia Moore, eldest child of Dr. William S. Moore and his wife, Harriet Baxter Springs, was born in 1822. She married in 1842 Joel Woodward Rawlinson of Richland District, S.C. She was a gentle and sweet voiced woman; possessed a kind, sympathetic heart; a devoted wife and mother, loyal always to friends and relatives, was truthful to a remarkable degree and was never known to exaggerate a narrative in the least, candid almost to a fault, very energetic, and looking well "to the ways of her household." She was educated at the celebrated Female Academy at Salem, N.C. Her death occurred on the 31st day of December, 1872, aged seventy-two years. "And her children shall rise up and call her blessed."

Joel Woodward Rawlinson, the husband of Jane Cynthia Moore, was born in Richland County., S.C., in 1823. When in school in Yorkville, S.C., he met Miss Jennie Moore, whom he married in 1842 and settled in York County. Prior to the late Civil War, he achieved great success in his chosen pursuit as planter. He was a man of energy, liberality, and patriotism, having large information, his services were frequently required by his admirers in offices and honor and trust for his State and County, both in times of war and peace. He was chosen by his people twice before and once after the war to serve them in the House of Representatives. In 1869 he was appointed as aid to Gov. Pickens, the war Governor of South Carolina, with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, at a time when such a position demanded men of nerve, influences, energy and zeal. He rendered his people a liberal and patriotic service in what they considered a righteous cause. In the ancient and honored order of Free Masons, where he had the confidence of his brethren, he attained eminence in that Society. He died aged 66 years.
