We have DEAS in our line but not this person
I have forwarded it to 'cuzzins' in Camden who may be able to locate
a direct descendant.  Don't lose the picture in the meantime!

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.
