SC?Elizabeth b.1829 Ga,and the rest of the children were born in Georgia.Joel Married Sarah Aiken,of SC She had two brother William b.1801 and john b.1802 ,Sarah b.1804? Daughter of James and Mary Aiken,granddaughter of James and Elizabeth Reid Aiken, from Ireland. Sarah had a first cousin named William Aiken that was gov. of SC 1844-1846.He returned to Charleston when he was not allowed to take the seat as a member-elect to the 39th Congress Feb.12,1867.He died at Flat Rock,Henderson Co. NC Sept 1887,burried in Magnolia cemetery in Charleston,SC. The county of AIken was named in his honor ,because he was responsible for the building of a railroad From that area to Charleston to get cotton to market. Any help would be appreciated.
