Dear Jan and other Waldrop People, Luke Waldrop who supposedly died about 1779 in Laurens County, SC was (I am told) my 5-greats grandfather. His grand daughter Ann Waldrop, daughter of John (about 1732-1794) married my 3-greats grandfather Jesse Palmer. I believe I once had information concerning Green Berry and other collateral ancestors but lost it in a disastrous computer crash. Can someone tell me how the Waldrops being discussed (Green Berry and Benjamin, etc.) relate to Luke, John & Ann? Thank you for your assistance. By the way -- last year I made a very careful transcription of John Waldrop's will and have it in a MSWORD file that I will gladly email to any of you who contact me directly and request it.
