I have always heard that I have connections to Marion. But I do not know how. I do know that my gg-Aunt Nelie, Cornelia Lefforts Sherwood (1868 - 1939) lived in Marion for awhile. I got this information from return addresses on old letters. When Aunt Nelie died, she requested that $25.00 of her estate be given to an orphanage in York, SC. Since she never married and had no children, I tend to wonder if she had been in that orphanage as a child. In her later years, she lived with my grandparents in Ridgeland, Jasper County, where she is buried. I am researching DAVIS HEAPE ULMER YOUMANS ZAHLER & PEEPLES (Colleton, Hampton, Beaufort, & Jasper Counties of SC) and SHERWOOD & BOYD.
