OK, I don't want to sound smarter than I am, but what do want to know about the Carrolls, Drummonds and Clems? John Drummond is the Senator. He was born 9-29-1919 to James William and Fannie Smith Drummond. John has several brothers....Cal was a major league umpire, and Blackie was the game warden for flipping ever... They ran Drummond Brothers Gulf Oil Distributorship, which is now John Drummond Gulf. They're from the lower part of the county, and John and Blackie live in Ninety Six. They may have grown up at or near the orginal Buzzards' Roost between Ninety Six and Chappells. The only thing I know about the Clems is that I went to school with Carroll Clem. He is probably locatable. I think they were also from the Ninety Six Highway area, out near Mt. Lebanon Church or the Scotch Crossroads. He drove a school bus from that area, Callison maybe. The Carrolls and the Brookses are interrelated. My brother-in-law is Carroll Brooks Bannister. There are Carrolls all over the county today, but I think they came from New Market at one time. Do you have Margaret Watson's book "Greenwood County Sketches"? She tracked the families that were in the county before 1800. If you can be more specific with names, dates, etc., I'll try to direct you to someone who really knows. annie
