Hi, I have never written to anyone on the internet concerning geneology. My wife is the research buff. I must let you know that there is a medway plantation between Charleston,S.C. and Savanah,Ga. I have been to it on several occasions. If we may be of any help to you in your research, just let us know. My family has been in the Charleston area since the 1700's. Good luck, Mike !

Mike O'Neale Thanks for the information about another "Medway Plantation" between Charleston and Savannah. This may solve the mystery ! Can you tell me more specifically where it is ? Is it an old building now being lived in ? Thanks PS - My parents were from Charleston - I just married a California girl !
