The only probate listing I have for York County is Barbara Langdon's "York County Marriages 1770-1869 Implied in York County, S. C. Probate Records." Your Galloway/McElwee estate is not listed.

LOUISE, or anyone familiar with York Co, Probate, I have a question about the book you listed below. Do you understand the references in that book? I have a copy of a page 72 of that book on Cinthy Howser married James Noble. It lists a Case #5, File # 195, and date 1840. I want to order a film at the LDS library of that probate package, but the LDS said they wouldn't know which film to order because they are not by Case & File numbers. Cynthia's father John died in 1833, and the mother Nancy Howser died in 1840. I tried to order the probate from York County, and it is 63 pages, costing $31.50. I really don't have that kind of money to spend on one probate package. I asked them if they would look thru the 63 pages and copy only the page/pages that referred to a daughter named Cinthy/Cynthia. He wrote me back and said there were none, but if there were none, where did they get the name Cinthy to put in the book???? I think they did not want to look thru the 63 pages, and I guess I don't blame them. So, I wanted to order the LDS film so I could look thru the 63 pages myself. But as I stated the LDS said they don't know which film to order. Do any of you have any idea what film this Case & File would be on? Any Help would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Kathy Wells. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louise Pettus" <lpettus@cetlink.net> To: <SCYORK-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 30, 2002 11:32 AM Subject: Re: [SCYORK] York Co.
