Gwen, Andrew College is in Cuthbert, GA. I have the Marion Co. book because I work in the library. Thnak you for offering. I have tried to find more information on William S., but the only info I have is from the book and there are no sources given. I am not really sure his name is William Stephen. The only proof I have seen is the mortality schedule that gives his name as Will S. I know where the Sand Bethel cemetery is with all the graves. That is where my grandparents are also buried.
