Are you perhaps referring to HISTORY OF EDGEFIELD COUNTY from the Earliest Settlements to 1897 by John A Chapman, A. M orginally published in 1897 and republished in 1976 and again in 1976 with a complete index of all individuals listed in the book.   On page 117 a reference is made to Catherine D Hammond who had written a short poem? in a receipt book.  Mr Chapman writes : " I find two (receipts) signed by Wm. McKie.  On one of the pages, written in an elegant female hand, without date: "When this you see remember me though many miles you distant bee---Catherine D Hammond"  Mr Chapman is not sure if she was of the Le Roy Hammond or Samuel Hammond family.

On Page 337, Mr Chapman refers to Catherine D Hammond as a 'writer of verse, She lived and died perhaps a hundred years ago.  Hers was a bright ethereal spirit, the spirit of a poet."

John,
If the CD rom had information on Foremans, especially Jacob Foreman Sr and
Heards, especially James or John Heard, I would be interested. The other
name I would be interested is SOTROE. The only time I have ever seen this
name is in a book, called "Implied Marriages of Barnwell County". Rachel
SOTROE married to Jacob Foreman.  Has anyone ever seen a name like this
before?
Thanks,
Gaila


I have recently completed the transcription of E. J. Chapman's
