Hi Gentle Folks Sadly, I know nothing of genealogy methods. I'm trying to trace some remaining decendants of Mrs W.C. Branch of Saluda Hill SC. She died, I believe around 1973. I don't know if some of you could help me or maybe just tell me how to help myself using the internet. Either way, I'll tell you what I know about Mrs Branch and why I'm trying to find some of her decendants. I love daylilies, especially spider daylilies, and history. I write about both. Mrs Branch hybridized and introduced some 63 spider daylilies between about 1955 and 1973 when she died. I've been able to identify 5 of those daylilies but I can find only two of them still in commercial cultivation. I fear her history and her daylilies may be lost. If they still exist, I think it likely that they will only be found in a SC garden or possibly preserved by one of her descendants. She may have introduced a 16 inch spider daylily. That is almost unknown. To think that she may have done it and the flower lost is enough to make you cry. If its still possible to recover her history and some of her daylilies, I desperately want to do it. Printed below is an article I wrote recently on the subject. Everything I know about Mrs Branch is included. If you could help me trace her or tell me how to go about it, I would be most grateful. Thank you for your assistance. Dianne Taylor Poquoson VA ------------------------------------------------------------ ARTICLE Mrs W. C. Branch, Spider/Spider Variant Hybridizer A Quest Begins Who was Mrs W. C. Branch? Does her red 12" diploid spider, RED UMBRELLA, still exist? I like quests. This one began when our own Jerry Dickerson (TWIGGY, ARACHNAPHOBIA), world-famous spider hybridizer, asked me to use the resources of the AHS Email Robin to locate RED UMBRELLA. My first thought was, "Oh, that should be easy." The Robin consists of daylily people literally from all over the world interested in every aspect of daylily culture. Ive never asked a question for which I did not get multiple good answers, usually within a few hours. Unfortunately, I have not located RU, but I do know a little more about Mrs Branch and her introductions. This is what I know so far. Mrs Branch hybridized large spider/spider variant daylilies from approximately 1955 to 1972. Her garden was called Fruit Hill Garden and was located in Saluda Hill, SC. Bob Clary tells me she registered a total of 63 cultivars, with the last eight in 1972. Twenty-five were eight inches or larger with one at 16 inches. She is believed to have died sometime in 1972 or 73. Her husband is also deceased and their descendants may have disposed of the Fruit Hill Garden property. To date, Ive identified five of her introductions. My friends on the Email Robin sent me two Journal references and these descriptions from the AHS checklists. SALUDA QUEEN: WC Branch, 1964 36" M 6" pink and yellow polychrome with purple eyezone and yellow throat SEV (Satin Glass x Sdlg) Advertised in The Daylily Journal, Vol. 20 No. 1:72. SONNY GWIRE: WC Branch, 1965 40" M 12" yellow self Ext Dor (Marguerite Fuller x Atlas) Advertised in The Daylily Journal, Vol 20 No 1:72 RED UMBRELLA: WC Branch, 1966, 36", M, 12", red self with green throat, ext, semi-evergreen. Advertised in The Daylily Journal, Vol 20 No.1:72. COLONEL BRANCH: WC Branch 1966, 36", MRe, 10", red self with green throat, dor, (RED UMBRELLA X Sdl). Advertised in The Daylily Journal, Vol 20 No.3:52. PUZZLING PRIZE: WC Branch 1967, 24", MRe, 5", red with white band and green throat, noc, semi evergreen, (no parentage given). Advertised in The Daylily Journal, Vol.21, No. 3:48. Im interested in the history and pioneers of the spider and unusual form movement. Id like to see their plants and hybridizer information preserved. These were often small regional hybridizers working at a time when the focus of the daylily world was on the round pink donut. I fear their flowers and hybridizing history are rapidly being lost. I had stumbled on Mrs Branch last year when -6- I noticed a flower called COLONEL BRANCH in Clayton Burkeys catalog. Clayton is known for his huge and often rare collection of spiders and unusual forms. I ordered CB and then assumed that the "Branch" listed was Dr C. E. Branch, Piper City, IL, of the famous SMUGGLER daylily series (SMUGGLERS GOLD). As it turns out, this Branch was no relation to "Doc" Branch. So I let the matter drop. Now Jerry Dickersons quest for RED UMBRELLA has renewed my interest in finding out about Mrs Branch. Several people in South Carolina are asking questions and one is looking into genealogy as a way to trace Mrs Branchs remaining family. If RU and many of her other introductions still exist, they will likely be found only in local SC gardens or preserved in the gardens of some of her descendants. I havent been able to locate a picture of RU, but I do have one of COL BRANCH taken by Clayton Burkey. This article published in the March 01 Tidewater Daylily Society Newsletter.
Can someone on this list give me the snail mail address for St. William's Catholic Church in Ward, SC? Thank you very much. dick barr Syracuse, New York

They lived in Stevenspoint, Wisconsin town of Linwood, Portage County. She was born in February, 1872. email me at Kraftibird@aol.com Thanks Robin
The information I have came form the LDS site. Dennis Quarles submitted the information. He is usually very accurate on his information. He grew up in Edgefield, SC and has been researching our family for a while. My Great Grandmother's surname was Elsmore. Her Mother's surname was Eidson. James Eidson was also married to Dicey Blakley according to my records. Thank you for the information on the Salters. Susan Powell Burden
RE the posting below from Susan (Bypass1988): I'm curious as to your source of James Eidson's wife being Mary Humphreys. Hadn't seen that before. Is that family history? Or is there an Edgefield County record somewhere? In case you're interested: Sarah Salter was born 16 Mar 1807 and died 17 Jun 1885. Her husband William Malachi Rodgers was born 15 June 1808 and died 22 May 1894. Both are buried in a small family cemetery in the woods just off road 252 in Saluda Co SC. Dates are from the tombstones. Sarah's brother James Gideon Salter married William Rodgers' sister Telitha. He apparently was living in 1847 (when the real estate of his grandfather James Eidson, deceased, was sold); and Telitha had remarried by 1849. I assume he died in that period. My interest in the Eidson and Salter families is from these intermarriages with my Rodgers family. And I had thought there might be some earlier connections as well.

They were living in Saluda Township (Was that Saluda?) at that time and only seven children were in the household: Ellen, Julia, green, Henry, John, Columbus, and Lizzie. 1900: A Pierce Thornton is shown living in Hollow Creek Township in Lexington County, South Carolina on June 8, 1900. (Enumerator's District 41, Sheet B, Line 65, Household number 99, Family number 99. He is 40 years old and shows a birth date of December 1859. He has been married 21 years which would make his marriage date around 1879 when he would have been 20 years old.

They have a daughter named Eddie C. age 15 who is listed as adopted by Pierce. (In 1900, they had a son named Eddie who was 20 and who would be 30 at this census. Perhaps this is his daughter.) They rent farm land and the farm schedule is #330. They are family #318 in dwelling #304
