My grandfather Thomas Stephens dealt with turpentine, and so therefore may have had dealings at some time with the store you mentioned....sure would be nice to find something!! We still own about 14 acres in Hendersonville, and someday I hope to be helping folks from that very spot! California is nice, but down south feels like home! Talk to you later!

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=988 Surname: Brunson, Thames, Riley ------------------------- Yolanda, Thanks for your response, I appreciate your offer. I am looking for any information on my great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Brunson, 1841-1913, which might lead to his parentage. As an adult he lived in the area of Hampton County (Gifford & Crocketville). Sometime before 1900, he moved to Heyward Township,Colleton County. At the time he was in Colleton County, he was married to Adeline Thames,(1859-1910). The receipt from 1906 was kept by some family members, and is from a business in Hampton,SC. The store was W.F. Cummings, which dealt in hay, lumber, grain, etc. It is obvious from the receipt that the two men listed split the cost. The total was divided by two in pencil, leaving a sum of $13.50 each, and I thought perhaps they owned or operated neighboring farms. Since neighbors were often extended family members, I thought the name of Prester or Preston might be a clue. The parents of Thomas Jefferson are my brick wall, so I am always on the look-out for any possible leads.

SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=986 Surname: Rentz ------------------------- Looking for the parents of William Sullivan Rentz, whom we believe was born somewhere in Colleton County, SC on March 15, 1854. He was educated at the Walterboro Academy. William Sullivan was living in Varnville, SC by the census of June 1880, married Clifton C. Ruth, and they had one child, William Harrell Rentz, born Feb. 8, 1891. William Sullivan Rentz died on October 8, 1933 and is buried beside his wife in the Varnville, SC Cemetery. I would like to help my father find out more about the parents and ancestors of his grandfather. Thanks for any leads we can obtain!

Where did you get the receipt? I'm looking for information on my grandfather Thomas Stephens (black) who was in Hendersonville, and have been able to find nothing except the listing of him, his wife and children on the 1920 census. As I do have copies of a few pages from that area and areas close to it, what are some of the other names you're researching, and I'll keep my eyes open. Good Luck!

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=983 Surname: Jones ------------------------- My Mother was Born Mary Frances Jones August 28,1922 in Smoaks, SC. Her Mother was Lillie Mae Jones, later Collins, and was born May 9, 1898 in Smoaks, SC to Jesse Lee and Caroline Jones, who also had a son named Alger, and 2 other daughters named Caroline, and Beulah. My Mother also had a sister named Myrtle Dorothy Jones. I have no other information. I do know that my Mother and her family moved north to York, Pa in the mid to late 1930's, where my Mother met my Father. I have no other information about my Mothers family, and would like to know more about her ancesters. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated.

Mary, My notes show it as Heyward Township (not Haywood), just outside of Walterboro somewhere. Most genealogical libraries have a book (I don't remember the name) which has the names of all the Townships canvassed for each Federal Census, including all states and all census years. It also contains small maps showing where the townships are located. I looked Heyward up in the book as I was not sure of the spelling from what was written on the census pages. I have read that you can also get copies of the actual maps from the census bureau, but I have not persued this.

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=981 Surname: ------------------------- Hi Yolanda, Thanks for your response, it sounds like it is in the right area. I will check it out. I noticed that your surname list contained the name Priester. Isn't one of the variants of Priester Prester? The reason I am asking is because I have a receipt from 1906. It is for some farming supplies, and it is made out to my great grandfather, T.J. Brunson and a John Prester or Preston. It's difficult to decipher the last two letters of the name. Does anything here sound familiar to you?

I was interested in the recent query mentioning T. J. BRUNSON. For what it is worth, in my family in Edgfield Co SC there is a CURRY marriage to a DR. DANIEL 'SAM' BRUNSON and a sad story can follow it you wish to know details.. I am eager to know more of the other families involved. Luanne Spence Taylor at

At least that's where it was on the 1920 Census. That's where my mother was born in the town of Hendersonville, which if I'm not mistaken is down Hwy 17 as you leave Walterboro heading south. Hendersonville is before I think it's called Jonesboro and before you get to Yemassee. I hope this helps! Yolanda

Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton?read=970 Surname: Spence, Morton, Logan, Stanhope, Rogers, Bradshaw, Holloway, Harmon ------------------------- This is my attempt to grab for straws. I have my 4th greatgrandmother , MARY LOGAN ( 1764-1814) in Scotland who came to VA at age 12. She said she would only marry a man from Scotland and did this when she met THOMAS MORTON (1762-1810) in Williamsburg VA. After he died the widow moved to Berkeley which is now Portmouth VA. My connection is from a daughter JANE MORTON who married RICHARD DALLAM TOY from Norfolk. The TOYS had sons, Joseph and Thomas and one daughter, MARY ANNE TOY. Can you give me any hints or suggestions to find the parents of THOMAS MORTON and MARY LOGAN? I will appreciate any help.

It seems to me someone was asking about this the other day. Hope it was this list. Winnette Index to South Carolina Civil War Soldiers is found at the site below: http://www.researchonline.net/sccw/mastindx.htm

I would like to know the maiden name of my great grandmother Rachel Jackson. She and Grandpa Joseph Jackson married in Colleton Co, SC in or abt 1831. I would think her maiden name might show up on the marriage records. If any one has this info or would look it up for me I would be very appreciate. Thanks, Greg
