I am searching for Edward Abbott (m. Humming?). I've found him and his
family on the 1920 and 1910 census, but have had no luck on the 1900 census.
He was listed on the 1910 Census in Columbia City, occupation: horse trader,
wife: Humming. He is my paternal great-grandfather. He definitely married
Humming, but we don't know what her maiden name was. Their children were:
Jim, Mary, Idess, Ada, Nida (Nita), Lillie (Lily), Ruby (my grandmother),
Almeta (Almeda), Marie and Murthu.. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. 18 April 2002 |

ALLEN |
Searching for information on Milly Allen who is shown on the 1830 Richland
County Census on page 406. Her given name was Mildred. I have no access to
the 1820 census to see if she showed up in there, but it is unlikely. I believe
between 1820 and 1830 her husband either died or she divorced him. Her son,
Nazareth was born in 1820 and his last name is Allen which normally would
mean his father was named Allen too! I know that sometime after 1830 Milly
married James Bass Honeycutt whose father, Douglas, is shown as being next
door to her in the 1830 census. There is a Henry Honeycutt who apparently
resides with Douglas and may have been his brother due to the ages shown.
A William Allen is shown as being 60-70 yrs old on page 402 of the 1830 census
and may possibly have been the father of Milly's first husband. Any help
would be appreciated. Sept. 2005 |

| ARMSTRONG |
Seek to learn more information about the death of my husband's
grandfather, Charles Cleon Armstrong, who died in Columbia in 1910. We know
very little about his death, other than that he was shot by a bookkeeper
at the Granby Cotton Mill, January 10, 1910 in Columbia, SC following an
argument. We have never been to this area and members of our family
who have visited there in years past learned very little about his death.
We have copies of newspaper articles from papers in Columbia and Atlanta
about the incident, but little more. We understand that he was buried in
or around Columbia and we are researching the following: (1)Information
about the Granby Cotton Mill - location, dates of existence, operations and
history; (2)Information about the possible gravesite of Charles Cleon
Armstrong who died January 10, 1910 in Columbia, South Carolina; (3)Any
records or documentation concerning the trial of Mr. Aaron Howell, who shot
Mr. Armstrong; (4)Any records or documentation concerning Mr. and Mrs.
Armstrong's life in Honea Path, South Carolina and Columbia, South Carolina.
Mr. Armstrong's wife and children were already living in Florida at
the time and Mr. Armstrong was planning to rejoin them. Mrs. Armstrong (the
former Clara Maude Hudson) remarried after his death and his child, Rapley
Cleon Armstrong, knew very little about his father. We have researched
the Armstrong lineage extensively through U.S. Census records and various
other sources but have found nothing other than a record of his marriage
to Clara Maude Hudson in Honea Path, South Carolina, in 1899. We would appreciate
any assistance you could provide in preparing for our trip to South Carolina
to learn more about our family's history. 27 Sept. 2003 |

| ASHFORD |
I am searching for birth parents of Charles Lee Ashford. He was adopted
in Columbia SC in November 1950. There was no secret about the adoption-
he has the "Title to Real Estate" which is the adoption paper as well as
his original birth certificate. He was born in Baptist Hospital on
September 30, 1950 per the adoption papers (and 10/1 according to the birth
certificate) to Dora Mae Ashford age 21 of 1717 Pickens Street and was named
Charles Lee Ashford on the birth certificate. Dora was the widow of
Joseph Ashford age 32 who died March 15, 1950 (we THINK in a car accident)
We do not know where he died. On the birth certificate Dora noted
that both she and Joseph were born in New York (state only). She states
that Joseph was a "sargent in army" and that there is one other child living.
The baby was adopted by Howard and Alice Miles. Howard was stationed
in Columbia. They renamed the child Mike. And when Howards service was over
they returned to their home in California! Howard and Alice have both
died. They did have a birth daughter who vaguely remembers Mike being adopted.
She believed that her mother, Alice, may have worked in the hospital where
Mike was born and that that is how the adoption came about.She also believes
that Joseph Ashford was killed in an auto accident, possibly with a girlfriend.
She thinks that Dora may have been a waitress. I have written to the
National Records Center for military records. They could not locate anything.
I have contacted the Division of Vital Records in Columbia for Joseph's
death certificate. They searched from 1935 to 1964 and found nothing. I wrote
to The State Newspaper- their records didn't go past 1987 I called Ft Jackson
for an obit or notice in the camp paper. Their records do not predate 1954.
I tried the Caroliniana Library at USC- their Ft Jackson papers are
only for WWI and after 1968. I tried the SSDI and discovered that prior
to 1951 military and spouses weren't required to have ssn's I tried the 1930
census for a Joseph Lee Ashford (and variations) from New York and found
no one even born in the correct year. 30 June 2004 |

I am hoping to find a descendant of Ronald L. Aungst. He attended
the U.S. Army Training Center, Armor in Ft. Knox, Ky in 1957. In 1958 and
1959 he was in the Co. C 148th Inf. Reg. I believe he may have
attended the First Presbyterian Church in Columbia, SC. in at least 1958.
I located some Pictures and other personal items of his at a Flea Market
in Texas. I would like to see these items returned to his
family. 1 April 2001 |
