This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Griffith, Flowers, Carter, Douglas Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/YS.2ADI/1183.2.1.1 Message Board Post: Dee, Thank you for the clarification! Is Griffith Flowers any relation to Amanda Griffith who married 1) George Carter who died in the WBTS and 2) married William Flowers? They had one son John Flowers who is said to have died in the typhoid epidemic in the area in 1889. I have seen the grave of Griffith Flowers and wondered if it was coincidence or if there was a connection. Your learned input will be appreciated! Also, the first church in Camp Springs was the Post Oak Missionary Baptist Church established in 1849. The original church house is believed to have set not far from the Flowers plot in the older section of the cemetery. The church was at the halfway point between the antebellum towns of Abbeville and Columbia. It took two days to make this journey circa 1849, so travelers would stop at a fresh water stream just about 200 yards north of Post Oak Church. This stream became known as “The Camp Spring.” On June 17, 1854, the Post Oak Church changed its name to ‘The Camp Spring Church”, with the “s” being added to Spring through the last 157 years. According to church records, Elder S. M. Douglas was the moderator and preacher during this name-changing meeting. Is he one of the Douglas family you mentioned? If so, I would like to know more about him as well. Many thanks!!! Steve “Historian” of Halesburg/Camp Springs Communities

I am interested in the Flowers family below. Can anyone fill me in?
