Both of these families came from Pendleton Dist., SC. Sara was the dau of Cyrus Earl Hamilton and Elizabeth McWhorter, and William was the son of Uriah William Payne and Cordelia Lee Wood. If this is your family, please let me know. I have not been able to determine parents of Cyrus Earl Hamilton. Gayle Shaw
