Paul & Fredreica, A website you must see is: http://lexis-nexis.com/cispubs/guides/southern_hist/plantations/plantj3.htm This site discusses many of your interests, Ball, Smith, ect. as well as Medway Plantation. Most of these records are in the South Caroliniana Library, Manuscript Dept., and should, also,be in the Charleston Library. Gail A.
