Hi, Not sure if this helps but I had the following information in my files: 1880 South Carolina Census Soundex: Marion Fairis from Beaufort County, Bluffton Twp. age 30 b. SC wife: Julia age 26 b. SC; Son: Samuel age 7 b. SC; Daughter Allice age 4 b. SC 1860 Gillisonville, South Carolina census: James E. Farris age 29 wife Eliz. Farris age 25, Mary E. Farris age 3, William B. Farris age 1, Ann Farris age 33, and Marion Farris age 16, Male, Apprentice Wheelwright. all born in South Carolina I believe this Marion to be the same one. He would also be my grandfather's brother Pam
