Richard, My experiences are there is someone in the office and they will look up a name, but will give out no other information unless you pay them research fees. Which I ended up doing. They will give you a map and show you where the grave is, though. They were very helpful to me and I found several other family members which I didn't even know existed. Happy hunting.

List Members: Is there anyone on this list research the surnames of Izlar/Isler or Barton? Richard V. Byrd Savannah, Ga

It dawned on me that someone out there might know the answer to a question I've researched this summer, but have not found an answer for. Does anyone know how Thomas Hall Jervey, Capt. of the Saucy Jack Privateer, War of 1812, is related to my great grandfather, Thomas Hall Jervey Williams married to Julia Emma Middleton? Thomas Hall Jervey Williams' father was Dr. David (Ramsey or Rabum or Rogerson) Williams married to Mary Ann Whitesides. My grandfather, Dr. Lester A. Wilson, thought David R. Williams was a grandson or grand nephew to Thomas Hall Jervey. Can anyone help me? Margaret

List Members: Is there anyone in the Magnolia Cemetery Office open on Saturday? Or is it only open on weekdays? I need help in locating graves which I believe are in the cemetery. I would also like to look at any records recorded for these graves. Richard V. Byrd Savannah, GA

List: Can anyone help this person seeking information on the Lynch family? I would welcome corrections to my data, as well. Edward Manigault -----Original Message----- From: Edward L. Manigault <Edward@Fuse.net> To: GUS Shelton <gushelton@earthlink.net> Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2000 11:32 AM Subject: Re: William F. Lynch Gus: I checked my file on Capt. Thomas C. Lynch and found that he and Elizabeth (Shubrick) Lynch had no children. They were married in 1772 and lost at sea in 1779, so even if they would have had issue, all might have been lost anyway. I then checked his siblings and (from my records) he was probably the only male born to Thomas and Elizabeth/Esther (Allston) Lynch. He had three sisters and may have had three half-sisters, children of his step-mother, Hannah Motte. There were other Lynches in the Ga./S.C. area and I will pass your query on to an S.C. genealogy site where someone else may be able to help. Perhaps they might be able to correct possible errors in my data, as well.

I am hoping that you might be able to help me. I am doing research on my maternal side of the family. My mother has told me that she is related to the Thomas C. Lynch who signed the Declaration of Independence for South Carolina, but I am having difficulty finding the connection. My mother is Elizabeth Jane Shelton (Lynch). Her father was Thomas Chaille Lynch, his father was Manassas Clinton Lynch, his father was Thomas Jefferson Lynch and his father was William F. Lynch. I have gotten records from Chicot County Arkansas on William F. Lynch. I now that he married a Mrs. Penina Kidwell and that he was born in Georgia around 1793. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do now? I appreciate any advice that you are able to give to me. Sincerely, Gus.

Thank you so much Bill for the directory assistance. I had thought that the family of Hyams to which Hamilton and Pinkney, who were brothers, according to the census belonged were just another group of Hyams and not related to mine. Then I remembered that I have a Hamilton Andrew Hymes, born in Darlington, 1865, son of Hyam Hyams/Hymes. I wonder if the name of Hamilton is just a coincidence? Thanks for the clue....gives me something more to work on. By the way, can you tell me how to check the archived messages on the SCCHARLEston-L@rootsweb ? I have done it before but cant remember how and when I went to the rootsweb site, I could not find it anywhere. Nothing I did seemed to work. Edie in Atlanta

Looking for information on James NOBLES (age 50, born SC) as listed in 1880 Charleston census. His wife is listed as Elizabeth, age 45, born SC. Children are (all born in SC): Annie (22) William (20) David (18) Hellen (12) Fannie (10) Thomas (8) James (6) I am especially interested in the daughter, Fannie. My g grandmother was Fannie NOBLES (11/16/1867-2/10/1889). Family "legend" says she was the daughter of William NOBLES of Dorchester county, but this daughter of James NOBLES is the only reference I have found to a Fannie NOBLES. Could James and William NOBLES be the same person? Any help would be appreciated. Barry Fox Greenville, SC

Hi List Members--- I am trying to research my Bell family. I'm really new at this and need lots of help. I show 2 brothers, David b. 1750/1760 and John b. ? d. 1792. David had 4 children that I've heard of. They are John b. 1795 d. abt. 1860, David, Jr. b. 1796 d. 1859, Mary Prioleau (unknown) and Daniel Richard b. 1812 ?? Any information, especially who David and John's father was and anything else would be greatly appreciated. I descend from John b. 1795, Jackson Andrew B.1837, Mattie Lou who married Maxey Gordon Proctor, then me-- Betty Carole proctor Meyer. I have found a few things on a Samuel Bell b. 1820 m. Mary ? b. 1824. Also there was a David W. Bell b.1830/1860 m. Mary Sophronia Clayton b. 1840/1860. I feel that all of these are the same Bell's but can't go far enough back to put them together. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you, Betty Carole Proctor Meyer bcandetmeyer@mindspring.com

Edie; The oldest Charleston street directory I have is 1855. I did not find a Sarah Prince, but I did find a S. H. Prince, Bookkeeper, living at 159 Meeting St. (possible a business) with a residence on King St. Also, there's a Hamilton, a Pinckney, and a Solomon Hyams, but no Henry.
