By Elinor Reid Parrott, 107 Bennett Dr., Darlington, SC 29532

   It rained and rained and rained some more last week, but we did get down to Shiloh, and talked with a Mrs. Goodman who is the daughter-in-law of Carlisle
Goodman, Sr. Mr. Carlisle Goodman, Sr. was in the House of Representatives with Ray, my husband, when he was in the House. He was apparently older than Ray as he is dead now and so is Carlisle, Jr., who was this lady's husband. She said that there is only one Goodman living, and that is Carlisle's sister Bertha Goodman.

   We also found all the Goodman property and know that some of it belonged to the Benjamin Lavender family and we found three houses. Anyone of them could have belonged to the Lavenders or all of them could have. One was fairly close to the Shiloh Church. It is falling down, but was once painted white, and looks as if it may have been fairly nice, but small. The other two houses are really falling down, one worse than the other, and have never seen a coat of paint. The church and land is about 6 miles from where Ray was reared by his aunt and uncle
and went to school at Sardis.

   We also went to Shiloh Church and took a great deal of names off the cemetery stones. It was getting late, so we did not get all of them, but will list what I
have with this.    If you will, look at the map on pg. 11 and find Highways 58 &48 on the newer (1973) one. In the corner where both come together, is Shiloh Church and
graveyard. It sits on the inside of that triangle right under the word Shiloh and is the only thing in that triangle. It borders both Highways 48 and 58. If you travel Highway 48, which is a secondary paved road, you will see from the newer map that Benjamin's property bordered on the Canal Mill Bay or what is now Woods Bay State Park and is as large as the white (newer) map shows it to be and not as small as the older (1821) map shows. The entire area is marked "swamp" on\ the newer map, and is shown by little lines and grass to indicate that it is a
swamp. In fact, anyone living on the right side of that road in Sumter County had to border on the swamp. You will notice there is a small road going down to the swamp. That is the old road going to the State Park. Benjamin's property had to be about 1/2 inch below that old road. On the left side of the road, you will see Highway 597 and 412. Carlisle Goodman, Jr.'s wife (his widow) lives on the property  between the two highways. The first little dot on the left side of the road at Highway 412 is the old Goodman house and it must be three stories high.
In its day, it was gorgeous.

  According to Ray, Highway 53 is the oldest highway and paved road in this entire area. It was first a one horse trail, then turned into a single lane road wide enough for one vehicle. Then it was paved, and this is the shocker. It was paved as a single lane, only! Just wide enough for one vehicle. It is astounding
that you can see the first paved road under the second that now has two lanes. Ray said it was one of the main highways.

  We crossed over at Lynches River at Pygot's Bridge (Hudson's now) going, and came back crossing over Stephen Jones Bridge (now Welch's.) At Norwood's Store on the map, that is now Olanta. The crossroads where you'll see Dubose Ferry, where the names English and Dickerson appear, is now Lynchburg, S.C. (This is also the place where my stepfather, Wyman Phillips, was born. It is a small world, but my Ray is also related to those same Phillips, somehow. Right now, he doesn't know how, either, but we ran into a cousin of his from over that way the
other day when we were at the Toyota Place here, and while we were all talking, we found that Wyman Phillips was related in there somehow.) The above bridges
are on the old (1821) map. On over to the left of the map is Elliott, S.C. on the Newman's Ferry Road where it shows Dr. Dubose and B. Sander at the crossroads.

  The following names are from the graveyard at Shiloh United Methodist Church,
