Re the Charleston City Directory of 1852 and 1855 Hi Bell Nell When you have time, would really appreciate your checking for my ancestor in your Charleston City Directory Book of the year 1852 (possibly date of his marriage) and of the year 1855. Isaac (or I. D.) DROZE (sometimes spelled DROSE) Isaac's occupation was Painter - on the 1850 Charleston census - where he was listed in household of (mother?) Catherine Drose (widow?) Thanks so much for your help. Mary Alice (Droze) Erwin In August you had kindly sent me the 1849 listing for Catherine Drose's shop - she died in early 1852 - per Charleston Library death cards.

The Charleston Library on Calhoun Street is a good place to go. Bill

The SC Archives are in Columbia, SC, about a three hour drive from Charleston. While in Charleston you should go to the SC Historical Society at 100 Meeting Street and to the Charleston County Library. Also the Registrar of Mesne Conveyances is you have time. Medway Plantation is still there and is, I believe, a wildlife preserve. It is near Goose Creek, about 30 miles west of Charleston. There is a Medway Foundation and a recent book on Medway that you might find interesting. Beach, Virginia. Medway: A Plantation and its People. 1999. There is a marker in historic Charleston near the Battery about Landgrave Thomas Smith. I saw it and took pictures when I was there about 6 years ago. I can't tell you the street because we just happened to see it and stopped. I believe the Historical Society staff could direct you. You should start there. There is a charge (used to be $5 a day for non-members to do research but it's worth far more than that. My husband is also descended from Landgrave Thomas Smith. I'd be glad to share information.
