What a beautiful letter. Back to the subject: One line of my family - McKelduff - was in either North or South Carolina. We think these are ours. This name has been spelled so many ways. Anyway my grandfather was for in Carrollton, AL. We know that his mother's family, Marler, came from Fairfield district, South Carolina. How would they have come to Alabama? and later to Mississippi. Maybe finding the road they would have travelled would give us some idea of where the McKelduffs came from since so many of the families travelled together when going to a new place to settle. Betty.
