    3. Kevin: >From the 1860 and 1870 censuses, my gg-grandparents, Caroline Rich and James L. Jones, lived in the Friendship Township of Clarendon County, Manning Post Office. Since I found the record that James L. Jones was a class leader and attended a conference at Andrews Chapel Methodist Church in 1864, I assume he lived close by. His youngest daughter, my ggrandmother, is buried in the cemetery there. Also, there is a James H. Jones -- no dates or family information listed, but his CSA unit is noted in his gravestone -- who is also buried in that cemetery, a few feet away from my ggrandmother. Caroline and James L Jones had a son named James H. Jones who would have been old enough to have been a Confederate soldier. All of the information above lead me to believe that Caroline and James L. lived near this church, and may be buried in unmarked graves there. I haven't measured it, but I believe there is enough space between my ggrandmother's grave and that of James H. Jones to hold at least two unmarked graves. If Caroline and James H. were the last of the family to die in that area, it is quite possible that there was no family member left alive nearby to put up a gravestone for them. Let me know if you find anything new. Judith
