My grandmother Caroline Marie Moyd Dobbins believed that Andrew B. Poston was her grandfather (really her uncle)all her life. Her mother Martha Caroline (I have her obit) died when my grandmother was about 8 and had very few Poston relatives in her life.It was only this year that I was able to clear up who was who.
FYI: McErvin was listed in censuses as;
McKervin 1850 with William and Ormar
Mc'ervin 1880
Mack 1900
McIrvin (McIver) 1910 in this census married to Annie J. McErvin was living in Gourdin, Georgetown, SC near Andrew and Hugh.
