Dear List Members, I am still trying to determine the maternal ancestry of one of my great grandmothers, Emma Frances Whitlock b. 1865 Trenton area of Edgefield District, South Carolina, married c. 1884 to Edward Carpenter who was about 25 years her senior. The family moved to Augusta, Georgia, 1900-1910. Emma's mother was Frances V. _?_ b. c. 1842 living with Alfred Hatcher in the 1850 and 1860 census of Edgefield District, South Carolina. However, Equity court case #1000 claims Alfred Hatcher had no children. Emma Frances Whitlock Carpenter only had three whole sisters according to her daughter, Gladys, now deceased. The Frances _?_ b. 1859 who married John Fulmar c. 1875 was her half sister. Same mother, differenet fathers. Another half sister b. 1861 m. George Thompson c. 1876. The births of Frances V and Ella S. are recorded in the Whitlock family Bible. The family story Gladys told was that they were half sisters and just went by the Whitlock name. Does anyone recognize this Fulmer Family from the 1900-1910-1920 Aiken County, South Carolina, and the Richmond County, Georgia, census.? So far I have not been able to locate them on any other census. I have free access to the census images through the Texashre Texas State Library program, but the indexes arenot very good for the people I am researching. John Fulmer d. 1923 and Frances d. 1939. Both buried in Graniteville Cemetery with two infant children who died in the 1890's. Can anyone researching these families acces an obituary or a death certificate that would show Frances Fulmer's parents names??? Any help appreciated.
