I'm going to jump in here because I found something interesting. I've been looking into Southern Inman connections with these Rhode Island Inmans. For those of you who just joined the list, I have a double-whammy of Inmans in my family. My father descended directly from the Rhode Island Inmans through a series of Edwards, Joseph, Daniel, Loren, Alonzo, and Loren Waiste Inman(my grandfather. My mother descends from Meshach Inman of the Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego Inmans. I've been talking with people about the Newberry SC Inmans lately; some people now think that the Newberry Inmans sprang from Edward Inman of Rhode Island and his wife Elizabeth Bennett. I have found the name "Rufus" among several southern Inman lines! Barbara --- Eileen Matzek Davis <nanapaco@swbell.net> wrote: > Hi, Valerie. > > I think I have some good information for you.
