Hi Sandra, I've tried for quite a while to identify this Francis and connect him to the Francis in Burke Co.. So far, no luck but I haven't given up just yet. I'll post some of the mentions of your names now and see if I can come up with anything else. Spouse: John HODGES II Birth Date: 1 Dec 1755 Birth Place: NC?

An administration on the Estate of Francis Archer granted May term 1793 to William Standard, Securitys Abel Waddill & John Hodges, penalty Sixty pounds There is always some confusion about counties, and the different types of Districts in S.C.. The Greeneville town was in Darlington Co. within the Cheraws Equity Court District (Cheraws Judicial Dist./ St David's Parish) and isn't shown on my current map. It seems, from an old district map to be near Brownsville and was first settled by the Welsh ca 1736. The other Greenville was in the Washington Court District and is the one on Interstate Rte 85.
