I have heard of a Turkish group around Jefferson,Chesterfield County, SC. Check with the Chesterfield Genealogy Soc. in Chesterfield, SC. Don't have the address in front of me. They have a web site also. <<< message dated 2/18/2005>> lscott2000@bellsouth.net writes: My husband's mother said her 3rd great grand father was a Turk as in Moor. I am looking for that Turkish migrant in upper SC. There were documented Turk groups that did come into the state.

To find plenty of information on Turks in SC try Google with Brass Ankles or Brass Ankles, Turks or Melungions or Red Bones, Turks.

I have done rather extensive research on the Sumter Co Turks, but find no connection to the names I am researching. That's why I am more interested in a group from Chesterfield. The Failes are suppose to have married into some Turks. Thanks for the info. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louise Pettus" <mlpettus@cetlink.net> To: <SCLANCAS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2005 10:06 PM Subject: Re: [SCLANCAS] HILTON/PHILLIPS > To find plenty of information on Turks in SC try Google with > Brass Ankles or Brass Ankles, Turks or Melungions or Red Bones, Turks. > Also: American Life Histories collection, Library of Congress > > Louise Pettus
