Hello, cousin Mary! - would love to have the information on David and Elizabeth's marriage record - also on Octavia's family! Are you looking for information just on this family or to tie it to earlier generations?I have tons of info and an abstract of a letter mentioning specifically those you list - it is from James Hamilton Traynham and was written to detail his family genealogy.He was a Civil War Vet and wrote in 1908, including the following paragraph:
"The children of my grandfather who came to South Carolina were David, William, John, James Fannie, Mary, Elizabeth and Dollie(?).David Jr. married twice, first Miss Mary Burns, second Miss Elizabeth Key.The children of his first wife were William, Commodore, Carter, Sarah, Nancy and Temperance.The children of his last wife were Henry, Benjamin F., Felix G., and Octavia.Dr. William married Miss Posey of Abbeville (?) SC and moved to Chappell Hill, Texas."
and later, in the same letter:
"Octavia, daughter of Uncle David by second wife, married a Posey and lived near_____, Miss. (and) now lives at Lovelady(?) Texas."
If you are just starting, are you aware of the Traynham cemetery and association?
Let me know what else we can do for you.Please share!You may also email me at [email protected]
