Posted on: Colleton Co. SC Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton/1013 Surname: Rentz, Ruth, Miller ------------------------- Thank you so much for your recommendation. I have E-mailed the State Archives for Grandpa's death certificate (the certificate number of which has been graciously provided by another researcher as well). William Sullivan's mother was Mary, according to an 1870 Broxton Township/Colleton County census my father found in Walterboro, SC. My father states that wife Mary may be buried in Murdaugh Cemetery (I don't know where this is yet). He also may have had a sister Mary. I will keep your family information in mind as I do further research. Noticing your surnames Stone, Polk, and Murdaugh, they are all frequently mentioned throughout a book published in 1998 entitled "Railroads and Sawmills, Varnville, SC 1872-1997." If you're interested and don't already have a copy, let me know and I'll give you info on obtaining one.
