One of the lines I am researching is the James family of Florence/Williamsburg Counties.

I'm trying to locate a "Missing Person".

Rev.  Thomas Edward James was the son of Rev. Samuel C. James.  Thomas James married Milbrey Jane Thomas, who died in 1890.  Milbrey is buried at Cockfield Landing Cemetery in Florence County, but Thomas isn't buried there.   Thomas and Milbrey had at least 9 children, several of whom migrated to Florida.  Others apparantly migrated to North Carolina.

At some point after Mibrey's death, he married Julia Ellen Porter of Marion County.  Thomas and Julia had at least two children - Bird Porter, born May 3, 1900, and T. (Thomas?) Humphrey born in 1896.  Humphrey died in 1964 and is buried at High Hill Cemetery near Scranton.  Porter died in 1963 and is buried in Scranton United Methodist Church Cemetery.

Thomas Edward was born around 1849.  Julia was born in 1858.    We basically have lost track of them after the birth of Bird Porter.

Can anyone help?  Does anyone know of a researcher who can search the State Archives for a Death Certificate?

Thanks so much!
