 I believe a lot of Mary's family moved from SC to MS. 

Hi Karen,

Should you find that your ancestors came through 'the back-country' of SC you 
might wish to check along the Shenandoah Valley and NC which was the usual 
migration path of the 1700s. I have been researching a LOVE family which had 
ties to a RAMEY family. A John LOVE and a Wm. RAMEY married SHARP sisters and 
are named in the 1762 Frederick Co. VA Will of Thomas SHARP Jr. They later 
lived along Muddy Creek adjacent to the Moravian Tract of Wachovia in Surry 
Co. NC and one of John LOVE's daughters married a RAMEY boy. The SHARP family 
were Quakers, The LOVE and RAMEY families were closely associated with a 
Quaker group but may not have actually been Quakers themselves. In the early 
1800s the slavery issue caused many of this group to leave NC and SC. Many 
went to IN or IL but some moved down into AL and MS. 

Good Hunting,   Ted
