If anyone has access to the 1900 Marion County census would you contact me. I would like for someone else to look at a couple of pages. I am hoping that another census microfilm other than the one I have access too might be easier to read. The one I am using is very faded on pages 19A and 10B for Manning township, ED 77. Thanks for any help. Helen

Thanks for this lead...I did not know him by Melvin Dennis

Thanks Jo for all the info you've posted concerning where all the families had property. It helps clear up a lot of questions . But I still am fuzzy as to how all the Elvingtons are related. As I understand there are 2 separate Elvington lines (at least) in Dillon Co area . One in Kemper and the other closer to Lake View / Bear Swamp . Percy Price married Wm Barfield , she was dau/of James Price. That would put her near the Jesse E. clan. Her sister Evalina Price married Levi Elvington , but I don't know his relationship to Jesse or John E. looking at the census data and where they're buried I would guess they lived in the Kemper area. The Kemper clan of Elvingtons were from the John E. line , so that makes me think Levi may be kin to the John E. line . also Levi's son married Fronie Price , a neice of Evalina Price . Is ther someone who has researched the Elvingtons and can connect Alfred ,Hugh , John , Jesse , George and Zadoc in the 1850-1900 time zone . I see them in the census data but it escapes me how they may be kin , most of them look like they may be in the Kemper general area. This isn't a main line of my family tree but it intrigues me how all these families intertwine . I'm open to any and all ideas. Thanks again , Al Munden

I am in the process of transcribing Manning township on the 1900 Marion County Census. Some of the pages are very faded and I am having a difficult time making out some of the names. With Francine and Victoria's help, I am giving it my best shot. My request is. If anyone has access to a better copy of the microfilm than I have and see any errors in my transcription, would you please let either Victoria or me know. Also if anyone wants to help let me know. Helen

Helen, I, too, have benefited from a recent obit you posted. And passed on the information to two others , who also benefited, so your good work has really been spread out. LIke the commercial that used to say, tell ten people, and they would tell ten.etc... The Little Rock area of Dillon Co. is full of my roots as well, and I am amazed at how many people used to live there, for it to be such a small area now.
