Dolores: I notice that EPPS is one of the names you are researching? Which EPPS family? The descendants of Daniel or the descendants of Peter? I am a descendant of Peter EPPS. His son William EPPS and family were b. in North Carolina, but moved to SC shortly before the Civil War. They eventually settled in Kingstree, in Williamsburg County. One of William's grandsons was Ralph Dickson EPPS, who, at one time, was mayor of Sumter and a member of the SC state legislature. He eventually moved to Myrtle Beach where he had a law practice, remaining there until his death. Are you descended from Samuel PRINGLE who m. Mildred KENNEDY? If so, then you are a Daniel EPPS descendant. There are also some PRINGLEs who married some MAYRANTs, and some other MAYRANTs married into the RICHARDSON / GUIGNARD family, which I am researching.
