Harry -
I don't qualify.  No Deas connection here.  But I write to commend your
effort to get this photograph into a proper home.  When I think of all the
others that are out there ....

Subject: Old Photo of; DEAS, Lynch Horry


Several months ago I posted on the NC-SC list:
>"In going through papers of a deceased aunt,
>I have found an old photograph that shows Lynch Horry DEAS at age three and
>his
>little brother at 20 months.  It is probably from the late 1800's and taken
in
>South Carolina.  The name J. D. Deas also appears on the back.
>Would like to give to some decendant or family member."
>
>I received one response that stated,
>"I suspect the child in the photograph must have been a descendant of
>Margaret HORRY (sister of Elias HORRY, once Mayor of Charletson and
>president of the College of Charleston) and her husband John DEAS,
>Scottish immigrant." Probably great-grand children.
>
>I also found information on the Social Security list that states that
Lynch
>DEAS, was b.25 Nov 1886, d. Jan 1966, but does not list a residence or
>location of last benefit.  It does indicate that  issueing state was South
>Carolina.
>
>Still hopeful that someone researching the DEAS line can help me locate a
>decendant that might like the photograph.  Thanks for any help.
