One group of DuBoses are buried at Cypress Cemetery in the Cypress Community of Lee County (formerly Darlington County), South Carolina. A DuBose was a founder of the original Cypress Meeting House, later Cypress Methodist Church, and now defunct.

Some time ago I received a kind offer from someone who lived near the old home of my ancestor Dr James Mayrant. Shortly after reading it my family history search was "put on the back burner" and I'm afraid I never even thanked the person for their kind offer... this is by way of thanking you -and anyone who has kindly offered help and was never properly thanked for it. Dolly Gambrell in exile from my South Carolina home using <[email protected]> to sail the net until I can learn to do real research- once again thanking all who have helped me...

My great-aunt, Colzie DuBose Watson Blackmon, was named for the doctor who delivered her in Lee County. She is about 85 now. I don't know his full name, but I'm sure she does...she is the family repository of all history.

Thanks for the reply. I believe we are descended from the SC Lee's, and thought maybe that book might help. Thanks again, Lettie M. Lee GENEMOMaol.com

The notice must have gotten picked up in the Sumter County page. It is the set in two volumes just published on the Richburg/Richbourg family. I am charging $40.00 plus $5.00 shipping for both. Volume one (descendants) is 516 pp. in legnth and has 17,000 names; volume two (history of the life Claude Philippe de Richebourg) and is 102 pp. in length.

Does anybody know about a Dubose or Dubosc cemetery in SC.

Val, We will keep you posted. I haven't much experience as a genealogical research but was a professional geographer for over twenty years before I became an information technology manager. I may be able to help in this area. I sure will try.

Damita and Bob... Since this is something that interests me too, could either of you please send me copies of your correspondence. I have a g-g-g-g-mother who had some land somewhere in Bishopville. Have the original "grant", but have not had any help on how to find it. Val McGinness Alexander Researcher Macon, GA Dances With Clouds wrote: > Damita, > > What are the exact numbers on your plat?

Damita, What are the exact numbers on your plat? The S1 could be section one in the section, township and range system. The W 34.80 and N27 appear to be latitude and longitude. If you would copy the numbers exactly into an email I would be happy to try to determine what they mean for you. Bob D Green wrote: > I have a land plat dated June 1860 for Clarendon County.

Somehow I have missed what "Book Report" is. What is it and how much is it? Thanks, Lettie M. Lee [email protected]

The following orders were shipped today from the Elon College, NC post office: Florence Moore 1 set Cindy Parker 1 set Bobby King 1 set Maggie & Al Wickel 1 set Robert & Patricia Taylor 1 set Robert & Virginia Davis 1 set Dot & Robert Saunders 2 sets Mildred & A. D. Richbourg 1 set Bill & Sarah McIntosh 1 set Additional copies Volume II (history) are printed but yet to be bound. That should be ready Tuesday I think. I am down to five copies of Volume I. We are trying to get another run of those next week also. THE FOLLOWING ORDERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED AND WILL BE PROCESSED WHEN VOLUME II IS BACK IN STOCK (HOPEFULLY TUESDAY): Julie Clayton 2 sets Bill & Emma Knotts 2 sets Diane Blankenstein Volume II (history) only In addition there is a notice for ceritifed mail from L. L. Shivers which I assume will be another order. It should go out next week also. Thank you for your patience. I had no idea this would be so popular. We will get this into your hands as quickly as possible. I have a very cooperative printer, 3 overworked secretaries, and one very helpful wife. It take all of us to manage this project. Bill Simpson p.s. To Florence Moore: Sorry I did not have your data in time. It will be in the next edition. Also, thanks to all of you who have been sending in additional information. I do need it for a future edition. I am thinking that will come out in the fall.

I have a land plat dated June 1860 for Clarendon County. I am interesting in determining where exactly this location is today. On it are numbers such as S1 W34.80 and N27 W28.80. How would I go about this and what are these numbers? Thanks.

Do you know anything about the Paxville Cemetery near Pinewood? Is this private or community maintained as the one you refer to? I would just like to know the story on it. I'm loving these cemetery stories coming through. We have ELLIOTTs in Paxville Cemetery. Sheila

I just put the finishing touches on an online photo album for Clarendon County. The idea came from Windy Corbett, archivist of the Clarendon County Archives. She send me some photos to post on the Clarendon site for identification purposes. Since I have some old photos in my files and a few folks have sent me more, the photo album just sort of mushroomed. I have sent the weeks since school let out working on the pages. There is still a little refining to do, but they are there for viewing. Visit the Clarendon County photo album and step back into the past at http://www.rootsweb.com/~scclaren/pictures/photos.html If any of you have Clarendon, Sumter, or Lee photos from the past and would like to share them with others, please consider donating a copy to the Old Sumter District Web pages.

Hello all, Rootsweb has been working recently on making the mailing lists that they sponser work better. They are blocking spam. I can testify to the fact that it works because when they catch was appears to be spam going to one of the lists, they forward it on to the list owner, just in case so that the listowner can decide what to do with it. As a list manager I have received 2 such mailings since the smart list started catching spam. It works. Now the lists will block messages in HTML, richtext, and attachments. This is to help out those who can't read those types of messages and there are many. (Folks with older systems, those on WebTv, and AOL has problems too.) I am pasting a message from Rootsweb about it at the end of this message. It's hot as South Carolina here. I'm staying inside. That means that I should get the new pages for the Clarendon County website finished today. I have been working on them since school let out. The new pages are a sort of picture album. Windy Corbett had sent me a couple of photos to post of unknown vets before and then she sent me some old photos from 1955 and an old Paxville school group photo. (She scans them and e-mails them to me.) I have some old photos of my own and some that folks have sent to me in the mail or just given to me. I decided to scan them too (new scanner here) and start a photo album. If you have any old pictures, I would love to add yours to the album. I would like to start one for Sumter and Lee Counties. All of these are Clarendon. There are a lot of my family, but hey that's what I have in my files here. Have fun researching.
