hi janet - while doing some south carolina THAMES research, i ran across a book by a REMBERT. i remembered seeing that surname on one of my mailing lists and, when i saw your message tonight, thought the book might be of interest to you. it is: Remberts By Way of South Carolina/Sumter, S.C. by Sallie Henrietta Rembert, 1894 - it is item number 189 on a list of books that can be viewed at this site: <ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/roots-l/genealog/genealog.lc-sc> that is an unusual url to me. hope the site address works. if it doesn't, email me back and i'll pull up the page (i bookmarked it) and see if i've gotten it right. julie thames howell, jax, fla. surnames: THAMES and DUDLEY Janet Gardner wrote: > According to a modern day map, can anyone tell me where Sammy Swamp is or > was in 1778.
