In reply to Melanie Young: I would be happy to try to help identify your Harrelsons if you send more detail. I descend from Benjamin Harrelson who died in Marion County in 1840. Don't know if I descend from his first wife (unknown) or his second wife and widow, Susannah Hyatt, daughter of Isaac Hyatt. His daughter, Martha Harrelson Thompson, my 2nd great grandmother, appears in census records with widely varying ages, thus no firm birthdate has been established for her, so don't know which wife she belonged to. There are folks on this list who know much more about the Hyatts than I do. I would be interested in hearing about any other lines we may have in common. You may write to me privately if you prefer. Afraid I don't have any experience with the genealogy charting programs, including FTM. Jo Chuurch Dickerson jochurchd@aol.com From: mlyoung1@flash.net (M. Young) I have some info on people with your surnames, except Church, Carmichael, and Elvington. They are mostly not my main lines, except Hyatt and Harrelson. I am also not sure which were in Marion Co., SC. I switched software databases and I have not figured out how to get it to tell me which people are from which counties, yet. I am using FTMaker. Do you know how to do that in that program?
