Fortunately I was able to aquire a little info from Charleston. As for the info they could not supply, they told me to start with the county clerks office. Even if you don't know for sure what county they were born in, you can start with the county they are buried in. It is very possible they were born and buried in the very same county. Good luck to you! [email protected]
