Hi Richie,I'm not sure I can provide any leads for you.It would help if I knew what county or district in SC your ancestor lived in.Maybe you could look in the cemetery you referred to and tell me some of the names. Also if you come across any of the given names I mentioned in my first e-mail in any of your information, let me know.Here's something I had from Union Co. Historic and Demographic Trends:"The migration of European settlers from VA and PA into Union Co as early as 1751 was encouraged by the availability of free frontier land.This migration was accelerated by the Treaty of 1755 between SC Governor and Old Hopp (the principal Cherokee chief) which ceded the land to the SC province.The Cherokees were defeated in the Cherokee War, which ended in 1761".It's possible your ancestor was from the Union Co. area.Thanks.Jane in SC
