LINEN	LINEN family from NYC to Charleston area 1820s.  The surname LINEN is fairly uncommon, yet Worldpages.com gives a fair number of them up and down the SC coast. My particular Linen ancestors, Margaret and a daughter Margaret, the latter married to a James Elder, settled in Charleston in about 1820, having come from NYC. I have wondered whether the Linens along the SC coast today might not have made a similar trajectory, they and their descendants settling in Charleston or other coastal areas. Today, it is especially Georgetown Co. where the name is to be found, but I have contacted all the coastal counties where the name is found today.  Sept. 2005	William S. Smith
LINGG	My ancestors lived in Grahamville, SC. The family names were LINGG and FERRELL. We know the FERRELL family had a property named "Riceshire" near present-day Ridgeland. The LINGG family owned an inn in Grahamville and Alois LINGG (?1810-1869) was a baker. Alois married Mary FERRELL around 1840 and they had 9 children. Mary was the daughter of Isaac and Jane FERRELL of Riceshire. Mary FERRELL had at least two brothers, Henry and Milton, both who married and had children, as well as several sisters we can't trace. Anyone out there doing research on these two families? http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/m/a/r/Kathy-M-Marsh/ (1/14/97)	Kathy Marsh
