Hello Martha
I wish this was so easy.The males in my family are not interested in this and the ones who were are now gone.
I know the father of my Richard Edward DeWitt was a James and his mother was Levinia Benton DeWitt, of that I have no doubt.Just the issues are James' parents.I have a Jacob that was going to a church nearby where the DeWitt's lived in some records in the late 1700's.There are some who believe this Jacob's father was a Charles and then are some who believe my James' parents are Charles and Mary Blocker.I just have no proof and that is what I need to be able to move forward.
I do wish I could do this but there is a possibility with a cousin in Florida who might be willing to do this for us.We both are grandchildren of Chesley DeWitt and Florence Catherine Zellars DeWitt both of whom were born in Colleton County, SC.One point that I do want to make is that according to stories passed down from my grandmother and other family is that our DeWitts had been in the Colleton County area for a very long time.I have connections to many lines in that area and many are cross connected.
I know the pieces of the puzzle is out there somewhere.The one who knew things other than myself was my aunt who still lived in the area.She was the daughter of the above and the sister to my dad.She passed away recently and Alzheimer's took her mind in the last few years so there was no need to pursue things with her.
Martha if I can get someone with my cousin I will let you know.
Looking forward to being able to get my DeWitt's out of SC.
