GREEN	I am writing a book about Dr. John Gorrie. I have copious information on him from his arrival in Florida in 1833, but no verified information on him from his South Carolina years. I seek information and facts on an oral history I have been given which states that Gorrie and his mother moved to Columbia, SC in 1824, where he went to work for Postmaster Samuel Green, M.D. When Dr. Gorrie attended medical school in New York State, he gave his address as Columbia, SC. He also signed a petition, along with 123 voters, 4 wardens and the indendant to SC legislature that the city be divided into three wards, each with its own elected warden.
