C. Oakley, Sr. In some of these notes she reports that six brothers left SC and came into Alabama. In the notes we find that Armstead was reported to have been married in Petersburg, Virginia. In checking the files in Petersburg, VA I found no record of any marriages, but could this reference to Petersburg, Virginia been for Petersburg, SC?? Petersburg, SC was in the Edgefield district of SC during the early 1800's. Was there a Petersburg, SC in the early 1800's?? Petersburg was in Georgia.
