SC Queries Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Colleton/1012 Surname: Stone, Polk, Murdaugh, Rentz ------------------------- I don't have anything concrete for you, but I do have a lead. If your William Sullivan Rentz died in 1933 in S.C., his death certificate should be at the State Archives in Columbia on microfilm. You could write or e-mail them from their web-site and request a search for his death certificate and for it to be sent to you. This would list his mother and father's name as well as his wife's name, the location of his death and the cause of his death. I have found some interesting information on some of my ancestor's death certificates and would strongly recommend this. Incidentally, I have a William S. Rentz in my database, but the dates do not fit for him to be your William Sullivan Rentz, nor does his wife's name. This William Rentz was the son of Aaron Elisha Rentz and Gatsey Samantha Wilson Rentz of Colleton County. If it turns out that William Sullivan is the brother of Aaron Elisha, please let me know and I can see what I have on other Rentz families.
