I have some info on an Issac Savage Minus. When was your Issac born? I'm trying to find info on my gg grandfather Robert Minus (b ~1836). He's in the 1880 Blackville, Barnwell, SC census and was in the SC 5th Cavalry Regiment. His family came from the Colleton and Dorchester county areas but I'm having trouble finding his ancestors. I feel like the Minuses from this area all related to a Jacob Minus who came to SC in the 1700s. I would like to compare notes with what you have on this family. Thanks
