Hello, I know that the TRAYNHAMS came fr. VA to Laurens area, and I've tried to work on them hoping to find something on the POOL connection, but I'm sure I've never looked at VA records. Not much access to those here in Myrtle Beach - the library is not a big priority in a tourist town, although the folks there are very nice. Maybe I'll look back through the TRAYNHAM info again and see if I can get a clue. I do know that the TRAYNHAMS are supposedly French Huguenots originally. I never thought of TRAYNUM as a French name, but it has been spelled a million ways and I have a hard time working with it bec. of that. Thanks; I'll give a look again to the TRAYNHAMS. God bless, Dolores -----Original Message----- From: Audrey E.

I think at one time I saw him as a son in law on a will of HUDSON, but cannot remember where that was. The HUDSON family is sure there. Also, Dolores, have you ever tried working through an intermarried name, like TRAYHAM to see if a POOL line was living in same area? Where are the TRAYHAMS from? I've often thought of working on deeds/wills of the HUDSON family of Southside just to see if I could find something substantial to cling to for both of us.
