"St. Andrews Parish Church, c1706 St. Andrews Parish was one of the ten created by the Church Act of 1706, and this building constructed in that same year is the oldest in the state. Over the west door is the inscription 'Superv. 1706 J. F.- T.

Off to the left , one stone bears the account of Thomas NAIRN... " [an Indian trader who was burned to death by Indians]. The grounds are open to the public. From downtown Charleston-- cross the Ashley River & take Hwy. 61. The church will be on your right approx. 9 miles form downtown Charleston. URQ

There were so many tombstones to look at and photograph that I couldn't begin to remember any names. I was amazed to find my Phillips ancestors, I just turned around and there they were. Never happen again in a million years. Frances

Someone was looking for the Magnolia Cemetery site. Go to this address and you will find the Magnolia information. It is a long address. Rose http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lake/3577/charlestonmagnoliacemrec.html

Hi Would you have any information on a cemetery called Old Andrews I found names of family in St. Philips and Magnolia When I was on a very short visit there. Now that I am home I understand that there was earlier family Haigs and Maham buried in Old Andrews Appreciate any help on this Betty

Frances - Where were the soldiers reburied? Glo Marquis

hi...I just came back from Charleston after three weeks...Magnolia is a non denominational cemetery......and is run by a TRUST... Bethany and old St. Matthews...is run by John Rich and Pat. It is mainly a German cemetery. St. Lawrence Cemetery's a catholic cemetery run by Sherry and her father James Lyles...very close friends of mine. Some non Catholics are burried there also in unconsercrated grounds. I have the burial book for bethany..altho not updated..and there was a partial list for Magnolia which I copied...am working on St. Lawrence now. There is also Trinity AME Cemetery on the corner and Brows Cemetery and a few more.... have a nice day...Rosalieanne

I just returned from Charleston where my niece, who manages a carriage company participated in the recent reburials of the 26 confederate soldiers and one three year old. These bodies were found at the site of the new Citadel Stadium. After the parade and burial, my niece took a bunch of us out to the Magnolia Cemetary where I found several of my Phillips ancestors. I have never in my whole cemetary searching career ever seen a place such as this. There was cemetary after cemetary of every denomination, many kept up and several overgrown. What a secret to keep from us genealogists! I've visited Charleston many times and never visited a place such as this. Can anyone tell me, where the lists of dead are kept? Who is responsible for the cemetaries upkeep? Frances

Hi... Sorry...There was an error in the "City Directory" update posted yesterday. It is actually a description of Charleston taken from the 1866 City Directory. The site has been corrected to stress this fact. Sorry for any inconvinence this may have cause. Sincerely, Jerri Lynne http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lake/3577/charlestonsiteupdates.htm

I am wondering if anyone has access to the newspapers/microfilm in Nov/Dec of 1927 in Charleston, SC who would be willing to look up an obituary for me - that of my grandfather, James Otis Thurman. He lived for many years at 302 Meeting St., in Charleston, SC. He died on Nov. 29, 1927. If anyone goes to the library frequently and would be willing to do this lookup, please respond to me privately. Also, if you would be willing to look up in the City Directory of the time for his business address - he owned a Hide and Tallow Business (unknown exact name - was called Norfolk Hide and Virginia Hide when he was in Norfolk in earlier 1900s). Thank you, Donna Thurman Howland ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Hi All! I forwarded some files on transcriptions and pictures of the WESCOAT family gravesites at Trinity Episcopal Church on Edisto Island, but somehow, they got sent to SCCHARLE-L-request instead of the list! Don't know how that happened, because I sent to the right address! Anyway, they are transcriptions and picture files, and I can send either or both to whoever wants them. Deborah

Hi Yesterday I accidentaly deleted instead of saving a very good write up about the flag called Palmetto Flag or I believe Red flag I am not excatly sure . This flag was hanging at the Citadel. It told about the beginning of the war at Ft. Sumpter. I went to put it away to read later but deleteted by mistake . I know that my gtgrandfather had been in the Palmetto Guard unit on one of the islands off Old Charleston during the Civil War I wanted to learn more about that. If it was you that had the information , would you mind sending it to me? Thanks Betty

Great site for Civil War in S.C. Info! http://www.researchonline.net/sccw/

Imogene, I believe this site is only selling the photos. There is another source of Civil War photos at the Library of Congress page below which allows you to see it and download it at no charge. http://rs6.loc.gov/ammem/cwphome.html Imogene Hancock wrote: > > Is there a link where the photo's can be viewed before ordering a > certain classification number? > Thanks > > David Harris wrote: > > > Here's the link: > > > > http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/PhotoDB.html > > > > ==== SCCHARLE Mailing List ==== > > Be sure to visit the Charleston County SC Genealogy Site > > http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Lake/3577
