Have you received any information in response to your question below? I have some ancestors who left, went to GA, then to FL. I don't know why they left SC. They left GA after Sherman burned everything they owned. If you learn anything, I would love to know it! I will pass along anything I learn! Gloria Marquis << Does anyone know if there was a major reason for folks leaving SC for FL 1850-1860? I have some ancestors who did and have seen others on the list. Is this just coincidence or was there some "organized" reason?
