    1. [SCSUMTER-L] Jenkins, Deas, Green, Miller in Scott book
    2. There is mention of the Greens, Deas, Miller and Jenkins. Jenkins: " The school house,built of logs, had a stand at the Eastern end, that served for a pulpit whenever a stray Methodist preacher happened to call and hold divine service, which was done by at least one of them in my time, who dwclared that he was not ashamed to be called "old Bawling Jenkins" He was widely known as a zealous Christian, had been a faithful soldier in the Revolutionary War, and bore an excellent character in every respect, which together caused him to be elected doorkeeper of the Senate in his extreme old age." 1865: "Returning from Winchester by way of Staunton, I arrived at Culpepper Court House in a furious snow storm. There Gen. Kershaw, Gen. Jenkins and Gen. Anderson furnished me such information as I desired." This, during the burning of Columbia: "Left them to get a guard for the place, and meeting Mr. Dovilliers, heard that Major Jenkins at Nickerson's Hotel, was Provost Marshal for placing guards........After waiting till near night I got speech of Maj. Jenkins and stated conditions of things at the bank-females occupying the rooms overhead and vaults from floor to ceiling filled with valuable property of private citizens - begging him to send guards for their protection. he replied "I cannot undertake to protect private property." Deas - Camden 1811-1817: "The leading citizens were the Canteys, Chestnuts, McCraes, Kershaws, Langs, Deases, Nixons, Abbotts, Douglasses, Dobys, Carters,Reynolds, Whitakers, Blandings, Boykins, Kennedys, Warrens and others." I will finish with the Greens and Millers tomorrow. Blanche
