Bill:
Before I go spouting off about things that I do not know, I presume that you
have Abraham Odom's will   of Jan 30, 1771, which was witnessed by Parker
Carradine. and lists his daughters, Mary Carradine, Sarah Rook and Nancy
Lalothe.
In the 1800 census, Sarah Rook and Mary Odom  live in close proximity to
each other and also to my  Jesse DeLoach.  One of Jesse's land grants
indicates that  it included the   settlement of Sarah Rook.  We have always
thought that the Nancy lalothe could have been mother to Hiram DeLoach but
no proof as of yet.

Actually  I have only  started inquiries about the Odom connection.

If any of this has any meaning, I would like to hear from you.

You know of course that Sherman burned the Old Beaufort District Courthouse
records, from which  Hampton County and Allendale County were formed.
The settlement  referred to above is in Allendale County  near the Hampton
Count line.  All of that  land is now part of Groton Plantation, owned by
the Winthrop family since around  1900.
