Rabon and Bellamy Family

Over the past 20 years I have been searching for my family ancestors there are times through my search I come across people that I would have never thought would be connected to my family. It happened once again last week. How could my family be connected to the Graham family? I posted some photos on the Conway High School alumni site that were taken by my Dad back in the early 1950's. The Conway High School site is dedicated to those alumni who are deceased. I found some negatives in my Dad's belongings (he passed away in 2006) and my first thought was how am I going to get these negatives developed? To my amazement Walmart was still developing film. After getting the pictures back I found several of the photos were of my Dad when he was a teenager.

John D. Bellamy and Eliza M. Harriss JOHN DILLARD BELLAMY John Dillard Bellamy, of Wilmington, North Carolina, was born in March 24, 1854, a son of Dr. John Dillard Bellamy, physician and planter, and his wife, Eliza M. Harriss. The history of this family in America goes back to the year 1670, when John Bellamy, with Sir John Yeamans and other associates founded the Charleston Colony in South Carolina. John Bellamy, a native of London, was a youth at the time of the fitting out of the Plymouth Colony, and manifested great interest in this pilgrimage. After the occupation of the Barbadoes Island by the British in 1625, his venturesome spirit prompted him to join the Barbadoes Colony, and it was here that he met Sir John Yeamans and became one of the grantees or charterers of the Yeamans Colony which, in 1665, effected a settlement of English families from Barbadoes at Charleston, South Carolina. According to a map made in 1711, John Bellamy's plantation was be...
