Blanche: Could you check the following surnames, all of whom lived in the Sumter, Mayesville area of SC, and the Broome's ended up in Columbia, SC. If you find one in your book, I will give you the rest of the information to narrow it down. Cassels, Broome, Gamble, Cotter, McLeod, Fleming, Vaughan Thanks, Bill << Subj: [SCSUMTER-L] Scott Book Date: 01/24/2000 10:43:02 AM Eastern Standard Time From: wargreen@ix.netcom.com Reply-to: SCSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com To: SCSUMTER-L@rootsweb.com I have a copy of the book Random Recollections of a Long Life by Edwin J. Scott, son of Roxanna Anderson and William Scott. It was published originally in 1884 and chronicles his long life. He was born in Sumterville in 1803 - in 1811 moved to Manchester, then to Camden, then to Columbia. In it he mentions many names and places. I will be happy to do any lookups for a mention of an ancestor. Blanche >>
