>I am trying to identify the family of my great great grandmother. My great great grandfather was William C. McMurry. He was born in Caswell County, N. C. in 1801. I know from census records that my great great grandmother's first name was Eletha and she was born in Anderson County, S. C. in 1809. My great great grandfather lived in Anderson County for 20 years or more after 1820, married my great great grandmother and had seven children while living there. They moved to Carnesville, Franklin County, Georgia between 1852 and 1860. Both are buried at Cross Roads Baptist church in Carnesville, Georgia. Thanks....
