Hi Bill_ Do you have access to the 3 vol cem survey for Old Sumter/Lee co's publ by the Sumter Co Geneal Soc? I found Martha E & Francis buried in Lynchburg Pres Ch Cem as well as Mattie Joye McIntosh & Martha Elizabeth McIntosh who are no doubt dau or nieces...Lots of Rhames as well in various cems. BTW, are you related to the McIntoshes and Spencers of Bishopville & mayesville? My husband, Jim "Spence" Spencer's grandfather was Elisha Gaither Spencer, cousin of Allie Anderson McCutcheon McIntosh who wrote a very chatty anecdotal family history, with not too many dates but lots of lines including a Joye, tons of McIntosh Fullwood Anderson Spencer lines (forgot my husband's father who died in 1948...)
