CANNON McPHERSON	I am seeking any information relative to Roger CANNON, and Mrs. Nancy Anne (Spaulding) McPHERSON. I think that this couple were my ggg grandparents.

CHILDERS	I'm researching John Childers, born in 1821 or 1822 (may have been born in Newberry County). John shows up on the 1850 Newberry County census.  However, the 1860 Pickens County census shows ole John and his family (wife Margaret and daughter Mary Francis) and refers to: "P.O. Bachelors Retreat" which appears to be in Richland County. John doesn't show on any other  census. However, I've traced a "John Childers" to the 27th SC Infantry who apparently died in the battle of Cold Harbor in 1864. He is buried in Hollywood Cemetary in VA and his tombstone inscription says he was from Smiths Ford, SC. Now when I search MapQuest to find out where Smiths Ford is located, it appears to be at the exact same spot as Bachelors Retreat in Richland County. However, more sophisticated maps show that Smiths Ford is in Cherokee County. I'm thoroughly confused about this. Does anyone have any information that could shed some light on Bachelors Retreat and/or Smiths Ford??? Thanks.  17 Jan. 2001	Michael Childers

Thomas Samuel Crayton	I have a photograph of my husband’s great grandfather, Thomas Samuel Crayton, (ca. 1829-1889) and my question is – are there any extant city records of Columbia which might help me more closely date the photo? I know this is tough since the city was destroyed by Sherman but I thought I’d ask. The photographic studio was Rawls Brothers Studio, Columbia, SC.  It is curious that the photo was made in Columbia since T.S. Crayton lived in Pendleton, SC for all we knew. However his brother in law was Benjamin Sloan, who taught at SC College and became President of the College (now USC) after the War Between the States. So I don’t know if he was just visiting or perhaps trying to establish a business there. Dating the photo might help.  30 Sept. 2001	N. Crayton
