Hello, All. We are pleased to announce the new home page for the "Descendants of William and Frances O'Daniel of Stafford County, Virginia": http://rolodafile.com/index.php Google, in its wisdom, recently terminated support of its googlepages web hosting. Its new service does not support .html format, forcing us to use another web hosting service. As some folks have let me know, references to pages from the old website and links within those pages found on search engines no longer work. At least for the present, the defunct http://roloda.googlepages.com/home redirects to the new url. Our new website is more comprehensive than the original and presents additional family lines. Some areas are still under construction, but the family pages are up and running. Check us out. Please pardon the multiple postings. Best regards to all. Bob Daniell A fifth great-grandson of William and Frances O'Daniel

Take 321 North out of Columbia. Around Winnsboro, thru White Oak and then there on right hand side of 321N, will be "green road sign" - Woodward. Not far beyond will be Concord Church on your right. White brick church. You will have to cross over rail road track. Note: if you get to the Blackstock turn off, you have gone too far. Approximately 30 minutes from Columbia.

If someone has a copy of the Aimwell Presbyterian Church cemetery records could they please tell me if there is an Abner or an A. L. Porter buried there. Possibly near Mamie Elizabeth Cason Porter. If not there, if there is a Fairfield Cemetery Survey book available, is he listed elsewhere? I'm looking for his death date; his birthdate if 1854'ish. Would also like to know the name of her parents.

Hi John, Great work, congratulations. I have two Confederate Soldiers for your list. William Holmes McConnell, buried in the McConnell Family Cemetery. He was a Private in Company E, 15 South Carolina Infantry. George Butler Pearson McConnell, buried in Bethel United Methodist Cemetery and served as a Private in Company G, 3 (Laurens' or James') Battalion South Carolina Infantry. He died of typhoid fever in Richmond, VA in 1864 and was transported back to Fairfield Co. I also have a relative who was killed in action in TN and according to some information was buried in Knoxville City Cemetery. I have found other evidence that he was buried (or reburied) in Indianapolis, IN. His name was A. C. McConnell and was a Private/Sergeant in G Company, 3 (Laurens' or James') Battalion South Carolina Infantry. These three men were brothers.
