I believe my DuBose were Methodist. I found some listed as members of a church in Mt. Sterling near Butler, Choctaw County, Ala. ( I am not sure if Mt. Sterling is in Choctaw County or Sumpter County, probably Sumpter. I think it is on the line between the two).in about 1873 or1874, I believe. I don't have the records in front of me. Beth Ann Spraberry I think I found that record in Confederate Echos by Ivison. I checked and could find no additional early records from the church.or from Ivison. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Bebenjohn@aol.com> To: <DuBose-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, March 05, 2000 5:43 AM Subject: Re: SC DuBois(e) postings > > In a message dated 2/13/00 2:21:18 PM, elizabethrusso@home.com writes: > > << > The DuBoses tended to migrate throughout the south; the DuBois' stayed > in SC, or left for Alabama and TN.
