Posted on: Anderson County, SC Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Anderson?read=1379 Surname: McAlister, Tucker, Clark, Cain ------------------------- I just read an obituary in the Anderson paper for an Emma McAlister Gailey of Iva, S.C. It said she was the daughter of a Thaddeus W. and Ethel Cunningham McAlister. My grandfather was a Thaddeus W. McAlister of Iva, but he was married to Ora (Lee Jane) Cain, and they were married and having their children at about the same time Emma McAlister was born. Could there have been a second Thaddeus W. McAlister in the same rural area, or perhaps was Emma's father Thaddeus from Elsewhere? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim McAlister
