Thanks for the info. My grandmother always said that her grandfather was a
preacher so maybe I can tie this in. Also the next time I'm in Florence,
I'll try to contact Mr. Joe Durant. I don't travel to Florence as much as I
used to since my other grandmother died. I should since I have tons of
aunts, uncles and cousins there.

Some of the other names that I have been researching are:
ARD,ALTMAN,BAKER,BARR,BARFIELD,BROWN,COLSON,COX,
DARBY,DRAKE,DURANT,EADDY,GASKINS,GRAHAM,HANNA,
LAWRENCE,MCNEELY,PERKINS,POSTON,POWELL,POSTON,
PROSSER,REES,SCOTT,SINGLETARY,SMITH,STEWART,
STOCKBRIDGE,STONE,WARNOCK

Very common names for Florence and Williamsburg counties.
