I received this from another person connected to the Lazarus family. Her direct ancestor changed his name to LARENDON, however. Do any of the names sound familiar to any of you also connected to the Lazarus family in Franklin/Adams counties? Thanks! Debbie = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = -- surely it can't be coincidence that we are both looking for Lazarus' out of South Carlina and Natchez?! My family starts with Marks Lazarus (Rev War Soldier) and his wife, Rachel DeTorres in Charleston (some discrepancies on her maiden name). They had a ton of kids. The family that was in Natches was Joshua Lazarus (Larendon) that married into the Scudamore family. (1) Michael Lazarus and Unknown in CHarleston (2) Marks Lazarus (1757-1835) married Rachel Doris/De Torres (died in late 1800's). He fought in the Revolutionary War. I'm descended from: (3) Aaron Lazarus married Caroline Jacobs --they had: (4) Son: Gershon Larendon Lazarus married Esther Cohen they had Joshua (Mine), Leila, Walter, Michael , Gustavus, and CHarles - not necesarily in that order. Leila, Walter and Gustavus settled in Atlanta, Michael in NY, Joshua in Houston and CHarles bounced around but ended up in New Orleans. (5) Joshua Larendon married Marie Anais Pasdeloup --Josh married Marie in Houston. Josh and his siblings (above) were the first to use Larendon instead of Lazarus. Possibly from their father's middle name which I have seen as Larendon and Clarendon (which is a county in SC)/ (6) Son : George Washington Larendon marries Jane Hopkins Scudamore of Natchez. They raised their son Protestant but George's siblings all married Jewish and the descendents are still Jewish. My Natchez line was Robert Scudamore- Isabelle Hopkins.
