Dear Lawrence,
   As a Native of Sumter, I know of Mayesville (little section on the way to
the Beach), Bishopville (entire small town) and Statesburg is an
intersection with a couple of churches and a few houses (it's near Shaw Air
Force Base- on the way to Columbia). Statesburg is one of my areas studied
because of family names. It used to be bigger. It was defeated by one vote
on becoming the state capital when this was being decided.
Hope that helps.
Cathy
