Hi All,
I don't know if any of you are working on families from the town of
Aiken but you may want to read the Diary of the Rev. John Hamilton
Cornish.  He was an Episcopal priet at St. Thaddeus Aiken from 1840's to
1860's and continued to live in Aiken until his death in 1877.  His
diary has been invaluable to me in getting information on my Jenkins
line.  His wife was Martha Sarah Jenkins Cornish and thereby the Jenkins
connection.  His diary mentions many names and families in Aiken.  The
majority of the collection is at Chapel Hill, North Carolina with some
at Duke and some in Baton Rouge, La.  It is extensive but if you are
near those areas and you are looking for something to do give it a try. 
I pulled out all the Jenkins, LaRoche, Grimball information as those
were my interest areas.  Just one more place to look.  His diary gives
dates, weather names etc.  very good source.
Nancy
