My grandfather was William Austin Collier, born Oct. 1845, Ft. Mill, York Co., SC. He married Mary Louisa Mitchell, born 1845, Ft. Mill in 1867. In 1881 they migrated to Anderson Co., Texas. Have you run across this name? I believe he is the W.A. Smith, age 4 that is listed in the Robert Collier household in 1850 in Ft. Mill, York Co., SC. Any help would be appreciated. I am researching Colliers, Phillips, and Mitchells in York County. Thanks,

We have recently found a letter from my g grandfather's brother, his name was Thornwell Williams the letter was dated July 17,1930. He and his family were living in Rock Hill, York Co., S.C. and he was working at one of the mills. It doesn't say what kind but would think saw mill. I am hoping that there is someone out there related to this family, if so I would love to hear from you. Thornwell also served in the Civil war and 2 of his brothers J. Duran and Samuel Joshua Belt Williams lived in Texas in 1930. Sandy

I am trying to locate the family of H.O. Quinn who was born in SC about 1815. He later married Isabella ? and went to live and raise his children at St. Clair AL (1860 Census). His children are listed as: Rachel, Francis, Seaburn, Tescus, Louisa, Joseph, John, Vashti, Russell, and Marietta. Vashti was my GGrandmother. I believe that the H in her fathers name stood for Hugh and on his daughters death certificate his name was given as Orburgu or Orburgus Quinn. Can anyone tell me if this Irish name is spelled correctly or just a sound like spelling? Thank you. Bernice Doyle

Fellow listers, Here’s an appeal to all of you to pull out the copies of the SSAN application forms you already have filed away in your "stuff" and post them at Rootsweb. I just did it for the ones I have and it’s really easy. :O) 1. Go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/ 2. Scroll down the home page to Social Security Death Index and click on it. 3. Enter the name of the person who is on the form you have into the search engine. 4. When the right entry comes up, go over to the far right and click on "Add Post-Em" link. 5. The "Fill in the blank" form will come up and you can type in the information just like it’s printed on the form you have in your hands! 6. Include all the information in the order that it is entered on the form, so that others have the advantage of all that information. NOTE: You don’t have to type in the SS Number for the person as the Rootsweb program includes it. Since the cost of these forms will be increasing substantially next week, it would be good if EVERYONE put out the information they already have. Then whoever else is searching for that same person won’t be required to pay the new price for the same form you have in your files. And vice-versa! If we all "plant seed," we’ll all get the crop! And thank Goodness for Rootsweb providing this service to all of us for FREE! Be well & God bless, Kate Beaugrand Cook Minnesota kbcook@cfaith.com or k.b.cook@worldnet.att.net
