Good Morning! I am looking for death information, wills and/or graves of any Mundy/Monday/Munday that may have died between 1800 and 1820. It appears that Reuben Munday/Mundy was head of household in the Edgefield Co. 1810 Census. The known children of Reuben are accounted for in the census, however, there are other people who are there. Also, there are people who could not be his offspring - possible siblings, due to age in the household. I am not 100% that this is indeed the Reuben I have been looking for but it is a start. So I now need to see if there is evidence of any Mundys that may have died that I am unaware of, possible first wife and father with proof of a connection. Any help would be appreciated.

Descendants of Truman Trotter 1 Truman TROTTER . +Arzelle DORN Father: Ed Dorn ..... 2 Suzanne TROTTER ..... 2 Infant Daughter TROTTER The information above comes from the obit of his infant daughter transcribed from a clipping in the Scrapbook of Ella Ruth Hazel Trotter: No date or newspaper name is given. Trotter Infant Died in Hospital - The infant daugther of Mr. & Mrs. Truman Trotter of Saluda died Saturday at the Baptist Hospital. Graveside services were held Saturday afternoon at Red Bank Baptist Church Cem.... Survivors include the mother and father; one sister, Suzanne, the paternal grandmother, Mrs. E. B. Trotter of Ward, and the maternal grandfather, Ed. Dorn of Saluda. Mrs. Trotter is the former Arzelle Dorn of Saluda. The Red Bank Church cem. contains the grave of Daughter Trotter, Jun 21 1958 - Jun 21 1958. HC calls her Phyllis? She may be this daughter, but I have no real proof of that since the obits don't give dates.

Does Edgefield County keep marriage records from the early 1890's? Is there someone willing to do a lookup for me for Rosa Parrish and Oliver Randall or perhaps (Laurens O.

We are really excited about this year's Workshop, including events related to the meeting. View the basics at http://www.scgen.org/ and feel free to contact the workshop registrar if you are interested in attending the workshop. Remember, you don't have to be a member of SCGS to attend and participate. Some of the recent news about this Summer's Workshop include: - People are cleaning the attics and bringing heirlooms to the "Treasures" session. This is open to the public and the experts will be at the table. Textiles, photos, currency -- you name it -- all sorts of great things will be assessed by experts and advice given on how to preserve them for the future. - The SC Archives is doing a special display on SC genealogy and history. As always, the partnership includes a chance to do research on Saturday during Workshop breaks. (And our breaks last more than 10 minutes.) - Genealogy volunteers will get an opportunity to hone their skills and see how to put on sessions that capture the interest of beginners and experienced family historians. Most of all, there will be ample time for everyone to see if they can find a cousin in the crowd or develop a working relationship with someone who has a common interest. Whether it's cemetery preservation or documenting the migration of families to/from SC, you'll find someone who thinks and feels just like you at this year's Workshop. Finally, SCGS added a few sessions that can help many local organizations develop partnerships for the future. The Roundtables are being organized that can help SCGS and others develop minority outreach programs or special events and activities. Hope to see you in Columbia. If you can't attend, give a loved one a registration and ask them to attend. After all, this is a great way to get family members interested and involved (and appreciative) of the work that clutters our basements and desks. (And we apologize if this is a duplicate notice arriving in your mailbox.) ReneeBB SCGS Volunteer

Thanks Connie, Yes, I had the cem. records, but just did not know how to attach them. There are two others there: Dixie Trotter and R. H.Trotter, Jr. All are probably the children of Rufus H. Trotter and Myrtle Bartley. But was trying to get some additional proof. I have gotten the DC for Dixie, copied below and comments on the children: 1935 - Death Cert. #20332, Saluda Co, SC Dixie Trotter Female, White, Single b.

Records of HC Ouzts list her buried at Good Hope Lutheran Church, Saluda Co, SC???? I wrote to Betty Trotter who is a researcher of this line and she replied: "Richland Springs Baptist Church is in Saluda Co., but there's no listing in the Saluda Co. cemetery book for Dixie Trotter there. According to the cem. bk., there is a marker for her at Good Hope Lutheran Church in Saluda Co., next to R. H. Trotter Jr., [evidentally s/o Rufus]. There are also markers next to her for two other Trotter babies, Mary Anie [30 June 1922 - 26 Aug 1922] and Elmina [13 July 1920-13 July 1920]. All four are probably children of Rufus and Myrtle.

Lots of "facts", none agree. At this time, here is what I have on her parents and siblings. Some siblings may be the same as another, since the 1850 census gave only initials. I am not positive on some of them, that I have attached them right.

Polatty, Columbia, SC buried: Elmwood Cem. [Columbia, SC] UT: McCormick Funeral Home, Columbia, SC He is the son of James Pleasant Polatty and one of his 3 wives. The above death certificate does not give his birthdate but the age 49 works out to be ca 1866. However, to check and see if he was buried in Elmwood of Columbia, SC or Elmwood of Greenwood, I looked for him in the book "Interment Records of Elmwood Cem., Columbia, SC V. l, 1819 - 1939, Columbia Chapter SCGS, 2002. He IS buried in Columbia and his date of birth is given as Sept 25, 1860, which works with census records of his father's household. This puts him as the son of wife #2, Louisa Matilda Thornton. *Greenwood Co, SC was not formed until 1897, so his birth in 1860 would be either Abbeville or Edgefield Co, SC Family is found in CENSUS 1860 Edgefield Co, SC, Pheonix PO, p. 31 hh# 227/228 [book transcription, not original census] so I would assume he was born in Edgefield Co. ......... 2 Albert BULLOCK b: Abt. 1869 ............. +Susan (Susie) FREELAND ......... 2 Anna Lula BULLOCK b: July 04, 1871 d: December 16, 1890 Burial: Proctor Cemetery, Greenwood Co., SC ......... 2 David Manly BULLOCK b: March 04, 1873 d: November 28, 1934 Burial: McCormick City Cem, McCormick, McCormick Co, SC ............. +Ruth HICKS Burial: Saluda Co, SC ......... *2nd Wife of David Manly BULLOCK: ............. +Mattie S.

The Proctor Cemetery can't be seen from the road. Road #132 ( Aull Mill Rd ) does not cross Hwy 246. It's on the left (coming south from Ninety-Six) as is the cemetery which is about 1/8-1/4 mile past it - the first "path to the left after the phone box behind the house on the corner of Aull Mill and 246. The cemetery has a bad "road" which you can drive part way up if your car is not to low to the ground. The cem. is only about 30 yards in from the road. Pleasant's stone is very faded but it can be read. Compiler has pictures of many of the tombstones. Artemesia Burnett Bullock is the youngest daughter of Pleasant Burnett and Artemesia Carter.
