Dear Caroline Williams, I tried a <A HREF="www.google.com">www.google.com</A> search and found a promising document on this link members.aol.com/ScottWilds/dbi2.html This was on about the 3rd or 4th page of hits. It seemingly has to do with a deed book of some South Carolina county, not readily identifiable. One Sheppard Williams is a witness. He may not be yours, but he may be a nephew, an uncle, a cousin. All of us who do early American research have this hurdle to jump. (Try searching for John Williams in pre-Revolutionary Virginia!) It does mention Chesterfield Co., SC, and a DuBose, a common name in Sumter Co., SC (also known as Claremont and probably earlier Clarendon Co.) Try a google search yourself for Sheppard Williams. Lots of South Carolinians went to Georgia when the Native Americans "ceded" their land. EW Wallace
