Hi, You aren't going to find the 1870 census online, nor the 1880. Nancy Hughes (she's on the list) did a grand job of transcribing the 1870 Sumter County Census. Her book is available for sale at the Sumter County Genealogical Society. There is a copy there for use of researchers, plus she has one at the Sumter County Library and at the archives in Columbia.

Give me the information and I might go. I use to live in Charleston. I have been to one in Columbia and it was pretty good. Jackie

Thanks for your time and consideration. Someone else has found the person for me. Appreciate you. Janet At 09:06 AM 2/16/00 EST, you wrote: >There are nine Bryan in the Sumter phone book.

That's good. Next time. Jackie

Here are the "Miller" references: Sumter 1806-1811: "From Sumter we moved to Manchester on the main road from Camden to Charleston. Many years afterwards when visiting my friends in Salem, I was delayed several hours at the Manchester Station on the Wilmington Railroad, about a mile below the old village, and walked up to it, where I found but two houses remaining -- that formerly occupied by my father, and the old schoolhouse, looking both inside and out exactly as I had left it half a century previously -- the pulpit seats and benches all in their places, and so it may be to this day. A short distance south of the village was a ball battery and alley where the young men played fives, sometimes at match games with those from other places, as is now practiced in baseball, with the addition of considerable sums being staked on the results. Stephen D. Miller, afterwards governor, was one of the best players in the state." Evidently, someone died and left two friends of his a bridge The Legislature was going to put a toll on the bridge. The Bridge Co. then threatened to demolish the toll gate: " Our gamecock governor, Stephen D. Miller's celebrated toast was:"The three boxes preservative of liberty -- the jury box, the ballot box, and the cartridge box." He, by the bye, was inaugurated as governor in a full suit of homespun, and when speaking earnestly made most awfully ugly faces, as if suffering intense torture." : "The Nullification Convention that met at Columbia in November, in 1832 brought together as great an array of talent and patriotism as ever was assembled in the state. James Hamilton, Jr.,then governor, presided, and among its members were William Harper, Robert Y. Hayne, George McDuffie, Robert J. Turnbull, Job Johnston, F.H. Wardlaw, Armistead Burk, Stephen D. Miller, John Lide Wilson, Daniel E. Huger, John B. Oneall, C.J Colcock, John S. Richardson, R.W. Barnwell, R. B. Rhett, Benjamin F. Perry, ex governor Richard I. Manning, and F.H. Elmore." Still Columbia: "Above Sondley, Miller and Poole had a shoe store. Thomas Porter Miller, son on the former, is a banker and broker of many years standing in Mobile, Alabama." Lexington : the Dutch Fork: " At and near Col. Counts', were the Summers, Fulmers, Sweetenburgs, Maj. Mathis, Setzlers, Bundricks',and Millers, and they amused themselves by pitching dollars at which some of them were wonderfully proficient." Columbia 1825: General Lafayette visited the state in 1825, and by order of Gov. Richard I. Manning a squadron of cavalry met him at the N.C. line and escorted him to the capitol where a grand public dinner,in the basement of the Sstate House, was given in his honor, and he was quartered during his stay with Isaac Randolph on the North side of Gervais Street east of Main. Old Billy Miller, a true soldier in the Revoltion, who lived in the Sand Hills and always got drunk when he came to Columbia, was dressed in a decent suit, and ,among others, introduced to the General, who kindly inquired as to the state of his health, and, being told that it was very poor indeed misunderstood the answer and rejoined:"I am very 'appy to 'ear it. Monsieur Millare." And, that, as Paul Harvey has always said, is the rest of the story! Blanche

Here are the references for "Greens" in the Scott book: Bear in mind that his writing in 1884 was somewhat confusing as he skips from the past to the present in the same sentence (and he dearly loved commas!!): Camden 1811-1817: The War of 1812 "Camden contributed two companies to this regiment - The Rifles, Capt. Chapman Levy, and The Artillery, Capt. James Blair - not the giant General and member of Congress, of the same name, who shot Tom Evans in a duel, neary killed Duff Green with a cudgel and finally blew out his own brains at Washington." Columbia 1817-1822: when Scott, who was in his teen, ran away while he was apprenticed at Barrett's store " And needing to ascertain whether Barrett had the power or disposition to arrest and punish me as a runaway apprentice, which was what I dreaded, I got out of the stage in the suburbs and went to the Law office of Col. James Gregg, about where Cap Carroll's barber shop is, to consult him as to my rights but he was engaged and never could bear interruptions, so he gave me no satisfaction, and, without more ado, I walked down to the stage office, at Dr. Sam Green's Hotel, opposite the Stage House and took a passage for Augusta." Columbia 1860's: " At the corner across Lady Street was then, or soon after, a drug store owned by Dr. Sam Green and kept by Dr. F. W. Green, recently deceased and still later by Dr. Samuel Percival. Dr. F.W. Green's wife was a daughter of William Briggs, the builder of the Columbia Bridge, and her sister was first married to Hugh McLean and afterwards to Henry Davis. Dr Green built the Red Bank Cotton Factory in Lexington, which is in successful operation and gives employment to 40 or 50 hands. He left a large family, his sons all seeming to have inherited a turn for mechanical business." " Across Gervais Street at the corner of the State House lot,dwelt Gresham Chapman, successor of Dr. Sam Green as Postmaster, in a dwelling afterward kept as a boarding house by Maj. Benjamin Hart." " Next North of Russell's garden was the tavern of Dr. Sam Green, Postmaster, and, for several terms, Intendant of the town, who had the habit of exclaiming "Ah!" whenever addressed. He presided at a public meeting on the death of ex President Monroe, and when Col. Gregg,rising to present the resolutions,said, in his blunt way,"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Monroe's dead," the Dr. responded with a prolonged "AH!" that excited the merriment of the crowd and added nothing to the gravity of the occasion." "Mrs. Herring lived on the Northeast corner of Taylor and Assembly Streets, where Henry McGowan now resides. She had one son and two beautiful daughters,the elder of whom, Eliza, married Dr.---- Green." Lexington 1830's: This deals with a Rev Yost Meetze, a German born resident, who apparently interfered with the military in some way: "If he joined General Green's forces at Bacon's Bridge, near Charleston, as some say he claimed to have done, it must have been because he regarded ours as a just cause and intended to cast his lot with us." Chapter on the War with Mexico: the college riot: "In 1856, and outrageous riot of the students in the college threatened the peace and safety of the place for a short time. The mayor, Edward J. Arthur, seeing the hostile demonstration, ordered the alarm bell to be rung, and when the citizens assembled, Jesse E. Dent, the Sheriff summoned them to protect the people and keep the peace. I saw 30 or 40 of them ranged, under arms, in front of the guard house, with Sheriff Dent, who was unarmed, at their head while a mass of students, withing 15 or 20 feet, some showing guns, pistols and sticks, cursed, defied and dared them to fire. When two or three cocked their guns, amd were about to shoot into the crowd, the Sheriff, by his coolness, prevented a bloody outbreak, ordered them to act on the defensive and wait till they were attacked. Meanwhile Col. R.H. Goodwin and Dr. Alan J. Green placed themselves between the parties, and ,at the risk of their lives with uplifted hands, in loud tones, earnestly adjured them to forebear. Finally, it was said, Dr. Thornwell appeared upon the scene and calling upon the boys to follow him to the college, was obeyed." Blanche

To this notable list of researchers...Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the 1870 and 1880 Sumter Co. Census's online? Thanks, Cindy Mc

There is a kind of new 1870 Census Book but I don't know about a 1880 Census Book. The Sumter County Genealogical Society sells them. Their phone number is 803-773-9144. Their hours 10-1 & 2-5 every day except Sunday and Monday. Jackie

Lonne don't know much on these people. The Cantey info is correct at that Web site I gave you. Also that second try you did on the family of Jesse Nettles, did it have more information the second time then the first time. For some reason I can't decode those MIME messages. Also the Elsie Nettles that m. Joseph Pack, Jr. was she born in 1774 or 1794. I have 1794. Maybe it was just a typo error??? Bye for now. Jackie

I am looking for information on a Richard Smith from Sumter Co.SC. Evidently he was living in Montgomery Co. AL when he died and his will was probated there in June, 1845. His wife Susannah was still living in Sumter Co. at the time of his death. He had a stepson named William Webb (Susannah's son) and a step-grandson named Richard Smith Webb. Susannah was probably not his first wife. There is a possibility that he first married a widow who's last name was Hood. In his will he speaks of Henry Hood & Baldwin Hood as his beloved sons. If you are researching Smiths and could help me I would appreciate hearing from you. Beth Meriwether

Jackie, It was a typo and should be Cantey. I want to thank you for all the great information and help you have given. I will check back later on the Cantey line after you have had time to update it. By the way, I am looking for a good site on the Murrell family of SC. In particular, I am looking for information on Francis Chritina Murrell who is "suppose" to hav married James Stone (b. 1771-1789) in Camden District, SC. I believe she is the daughter of James Hamilton Murrell (b. 1812) who is the son of James William Murrell (b. 1786) who is the son of William Murrell (b. 1745 in VA). James Stone (and his family) may have moved out of state. Any help would be appreciated. James is from my line of Stones.

Have an old lineage chart dated 1976. Looking for the compiler. Does anyone know of her and how I can contact her or relatives that would know about her lineage? Elizabeth Trowell Bryan 103 Tucson Drive Sumter, SC 29150 Janet

There are nine Bryan in the Sumter phone book. There are no Elizabeth or Trowell on Tucson Drive. I will look up other names if you give them to me.

What does addy of the listowner mean? Jackie

Lonne, did you read the message I just gave to Marie? I realized that the info on http://SingletonFamily.org/ is correct. There was an error in the book. You can go and see how Elizabeth and Thomas Elmes figure in. Jackie

Marie, I looked at the Cantey info and decided that what is in http://SingletonFamily.org/ is correct. There was a mistake in the book. So you can go there and find Elizabeth the one who m. James Brunson. There are at least four Elizabeth Canteys. Yours is the daug. of Josiah and his second wife Susannah. Josiah first wife was an Elizabeth Boswood. Then there's Elizabeth Cantey who m. Rene Peyre and Peter Sinkler. She is the daug of Charles Cantey and Harriet Drake (1st wife). Then there is a daug. of George and Martha Cantey and she m. Thomas Elmes. Then there's Mary or Elizabeth Mary who m. Gen. Richard Richardson. Mary or Elizabeth Mary was the fourth child of William and sister to your Josiah. Easy to get confused. Go to that web site and see for yourself. Jackie

Can someone send me the addy of the listowner please?

I have that Elizabeth Caney was married to a Thomas Elmes in Sept. 1696. Do you think this is the same Elizabeth? Perhaps she married twice.
