Reunion of Upcountry Families planned around Pickens County
By Lynda Abegg

SENECA — Want to find out if there are any skeletons hiding in the closet? Mildred Brewer not only knows how to find out, she provides instructions on how to start the quest.
As a certified Daughters of the American Revolution genealogist, Brewer considers it her mission to help people find their Revolutionary War ancestors.
“Of course, you may run into all sorts of interesting relatives along the way,” Brewer said.
Her presentation is part of the Reunion of Upcountry Families. In its sixth year, the three-day event is for families whose heritage goes back to the Old Pendleton District, which is comprised of the present-day counties of Anderson, Oconee and Pickens.
The free event will include genealogy workshops and cemetery tours. The final day, Saturday, will be devoted to family history, with a large display of family photos, old family Bibles and other items from local families at Southern Wesleyan University in Central.
The event will kick off on March 10 at the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley. Brewer will present a seminar entitled “Finding your Revolutionary War Ancestor with DAR Resources.”
“The DAR Library has one of the best collections of genealogical records, and there is so much history in this area,” Brewer said.
Brewer will explain how to use pension records, birth certificates and the census to locate ancestors. To register for Brewer’s seminar, call (864) 850-7077, ext. 112.
The DAR Library collection contains more than 225,000 books, 10,000 research files, thousands of manuscript items and special collections of African American, Native American and women’s history, genealogy and culture.
In its sixth year, the Reunion of Upcountry Families helps folks explore their heritage through a genealogical journey.
Nearly 40,000 family histories and genealogies comprise a major portion of the book collection, many of which are rare or available in only a few libraries in the country.
As part of the Reunion of Upcountry Families, Quientell Walker will conduct a seminar entitled “Heritage Quest and Revolutionary War Records.” Walker has a master’s degree in library science and is in charge of the historical room at the Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library.
He has been interested in genealogy since he was a kid and takes pride in the historical room that contains more than 3,000 books, church histories, family histories and 1,500 rolls of microfilm from local newspapers. To register for Walker’s seminar, call (864) 850-7077, ext. 112.
“The thing I like most about my job is that I get to spend my time doing historical research, and history has always fascinated me,” Walker said.
Walker located the deed dated 1888 for land in Oconee County that was given to his ancestor, a former slave, as payment for his labor.
“That land is still being passed down by my family,” Walker added.
The Friday session will begin with a tour of the Eastatoe Valley.
“We will meet at McKinney Chapel and tour the Anderson and Nimmons cemeteries, as well as the Old Pickens Church and cemetery, ending with dinner at Collins Ole Town in Central,” event co-chair Anne Sheriff said.
Sheriff is also curator of the Clayton Genealogical Room at SWU, as well as curator of the Central History Museum.
The Saturday session will be held at SWU, with historic displays from area families and local genealogical and historical associations.
“That’s when people set up tables to display the old family Bibles and photographs and maps,” Sheriff said.
According to SWU assistant director of communications Ed Welch, Sheriff is a dedicated local historian and has been a guiding force, not only for the Clayton room, but with making the Reunion of Upcountry families the success it is today.

Go green with spinach
By Olivia Fowler

Spring is almost here, and it’s time to think about taking advantage of all the fresh greens soon to be available.
Popeye isn’t the only spinach lover out there. This mild-flavored green combines well with a large variety of ingredients and is featured here in appetizers, a casserole and a fresh salad.
Frozen spinach can be used in all but the salad recipe, but fresh is always the first choice when you can find it.
The fact that spinach is very good for you is just an added bonus.
Spinach Phyllo Triangles
- 10 oz. frozen chopped spinach
- 1/2 c. finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 c. finely crumbled feta cheese (6 oz.)
- 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, crushed
- 24 sheets frozen phyllo dough (9 x14-inch rectangles), thawed
- 1/2 c. butter, melted
For filling, cook the spinach, onion, and garlic according to spinach package directions. Drain well in a colander. Press mixture with the back of a spoon to remove excess moisture. Combine spinach mixture with feta cheese and oregano.
Place one sheet of phyllo dough on a cutting board or other flat surface. Lightly brush with some of the melted butter. Place another sheet of phyllo on top; brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap until needed.)
Cut the two layered sheets lengthwise into three equal strips, each 14 inches long. Spoon one well-rounded teaspoon of filling about one inch from an end of each dough strip. To fold into a triangle, bring a corner over filling so the short edge lines up with the side edge. Continue folding the triangular shape along the strip until the end is reached. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, and filling.
Place triangles on a baking sheet; brush with butter. Bake in a 375 degree F oven about 15 minutes or until golden. Serve warm.
Makes 36 triangles (18 appetizer servings).
Make-ahead directions: Prepare Phyllo Triangles through step three. Place the unbaked triangles in a covered freezer container; freeze for up to three months. Brush with additional melted butter and bake as directed. Do not thaw the triangles before baking.
Spinach Salad with Strawberries and Pecans
- 8 oz. fresh torn spinach or baby spinach
- 1 1/2 to 2 c. cleaned and sliced strawberries
- 1/2 c. pecan halves or pieces, lightly toasted
- 2 to 3 oz. goat cheese or blue cheese, crumbled, optional
Dressing:
- 1/4 c. Canola oil or other salad oil
- 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp. dried tarragon
- 1/8 tsp. each onion and garlic powder
- dash dry mustard
Toss spinach with sliced strawberries, pecans, and cheese, if using.
Combine dressing ingredients in a jar; shake until well blended. When ready to serve, drizzle dressing over the salad and toss lightly.
Spinach Pinwheels
- 2 (10 oz.) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained and squeezed dry in paper towels
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 c. mayonnaise
- 1/2 c. sour cream
- 1 envelope ranch dip mix
- 1 jar bacon bits (or to taste)
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1 (8-ct.) package 10-inch flour tortillas
In medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise. Beat in dip mix. Add green onion, bacon bits and spinach (broken up into small clumps).Mix thoroughly. Spread mixture onto tortillas, leaving a 1/2″ space around edge. Roll up each tortilla tightly, and wrap each in plastic wrap. Chill for several hours or overnight. To serve, cut off ends and cut into 1/2″ slices.
Ladybird Johnson’s Spinach Casserole
- 3 lbs. fresh spinach or 2 (10 oz.) boxes frozen chopped spinach
- 6 tbsp. parmesan cheese
- 6 tbsp. minced onions (heaping)
- 6 tbsp. light cream or 6 tbsp. half-and-half
- 6 tbsp. butter, melted, divided (can use low fat or fat free substitute)
- salt & fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 c. cracker crumbs
Preheat oven to 375°F.
If using fresh spinach, wash spinach and drain. Cook damp spinach in a hot skillet until wilted; chop coarsely.
Combine spinach with cheese, onion, cream and four tablespoons of the butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Place mixture in a shallow, buttered 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
Mix cracker crumbs with remaining two tablespoons melted butter and sprinkle over spinach mixture.
