HARRIS - James Monroe Harris (B. 8-7-1869) and his father, George Harris (born Circa 1832/1833): I am researching my GG Grandfather James Monroe Harris, who lived in Sumter, SC from approximately 1898 til his death in 1937. He married first in York, S.C. to a lady named Elizabeth or Lizzie and had Claude Joseph, Elizabeth, (the younger), and Corrie Lee Harris, and when they divorced (between 1892 and 1897), he moved to Sumter and married Daisy H. Montgomery and they had James, Lula, Jessie, Samuel, Julian, Harry and twins, Marion and Margaret.
     James M. Harris was born August 7, 1869 in Rutherfordton, Rutherford County, North Carolina, to George and Charity Jinkins Vessey Harris. His father, George Harris was born somewhere in South Carolina circa 1832/1833, and James' mother Charity Jinkins Vessey Harris, was born Circa 1836 somewhere in North Carolina. James M. had siblings named: Rosaline, John, Catherine, Mary J., Luiza, Weldon, Ennmo, and Ida. I believe that James M. Harris' father was born some where around Sumter, and that is why James M. returned to that area when he divorced from Lizzie.  If anyone in the Sumter area recognizes any of these names, please contact me at joldridge@msn.com .

McINTOSH - I am looking for information on a T. J. McIntosh who was born in Sumter Co., SC, Lynchburg Township, in May 1880 (although he listed his birth as May 1879).  Raised a farmer, in 1907 he became the first Pentecostal missionary in China.  In 1909 he published a short book titled Around the World (Falcon, NC) that is now lost.  I have recently written an article on his life through his dimissal from the Pentecostal Holiness Church in 1913.  After that he nearly disappears from the historical record.

I recently found him in the 1930 census pastoring an independent "holiness mission" in Charleston, SC.  I also know that he was living in Westville, SC (Kershaw Co.) in 1949.  I am trying to locate a copy of his 1909 book and find out when he died (plus any new information about his life and ministry).

His wife was Annie E. (born c.1882).  He had a daugther named Hazel (married name Boone; born c. 1906) and a sone Thomas J. (born 8-15-1911 in Palestine; died 6-5-90).

If you have any leads on Rev. McIntosh or his book, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. September 1, 2002

AYERS - My search continues for the name of the first wife of my gg-grandfather John Ayers, b 7 Oct 1791 in SC to John Aires and Mary Manning.  His first wife was born in SC in 1793 and died in GA in 1836 after having 3 daughters.  Actually, I have searched all the available internet listings of marriages in SC and have found no John Ayers who married probably in 1817-1819.  Their first child was born in 1820, but they could have been married earlier than 1817, as they were both born in the early 1790s.  I don't know where else to look for their marriage.  None of the relatives here ever heard the name of this first wife, but we do know that their daughters were: Abigail Sophrona, Penelope Sarah and Tellitha Ann Frances Ayers. Since family names are repeated in every generation, it is reasonable to assume the mother of these girls was probably named one or two of the same names as the daughters.  There are many other females in later generations named these names.  My own name is Abbye, a derivative of Abigail, and she wasn't even my gg-grandmother!

CASSELS/GAMBLE - My ggg grandparents, Henry and Agnes (Gamble) Cassels lived in Sumter County, SC, area in the early 1800's; somewhere near the Salem Black River "brick" church, along north (or east) side of the Black River.  A family Bible entry says "Susannah entered McSantor.. School April 14th 1823".  I can't quite make out the McSantor.. word; it might be McSantoria, McSantori, McSontora or something like that.  It even could be McIntosh.  The Susannah referred to was born in December 1810, so would have been about 12 years and 4 months old on the date of entrance.  Could anyone give me a clue as to what this school might be?

Mary's father was EDWARD WOODHAM of Sumter Co SC and mother was MARY. Edward's will I found on the Wills section w3500001.txt on the Sumter Co site. No mention of Mary's  [dau] husband but did mention son Daniel.

Any help will be greatly appreciated as I am trying to get this info together for my mother Inez to give to her for her birthday or Christmas [her birthday is Dec 16 when she becomes 90] in the form of a book for her use only. May 4, 2003

POWERS - I am trying to do research on my Great, Great Grandfather John Powers who lived in Sumter, (Old Clarendon), until the mid 1850's.  I have located him in the indexed 1850 US Census and have a copy of the original document.  I also think I have found him in the 1820 census.  Unfortunatly, these records do not list an address or or other means to locate his house/farm/shop.  It is my understanding that the census taker just got on his hourse and stopped at each home as he got to them.  This makes sense as I have found census records of reletives who apparantly lived "next door" or "just down the road". Does anyone  know if there is any means to cross reference the names in a census to specific land lots etc?  If we could corrolate just one or two specific families to their addresses we might be able to locate other names found in their proximity as shown in the census.
