Hi:
I have just found your forum and am new to the world of genealogy.
The gentlemen I am looking for is Thomas Rae.  Born before 1835, died =
March 16, 1891.
Parents James Rae (1809 Roxboroughshire, Scotland -1889) and Margaret =
Murdie (1811 Berwickshire- 1890)
Family lore has that he was the first to venture across the sea from =
Scotland to South Carolina.  He worked his way up on a cotton =
plantation, and married the owner.  During the civil war he fought in =
the Conferderate army & was taken prisoner.  After the war, he rebuilt =
his fortune and lost it in an earthquake. 
Children were James, Alex (?) and Margaret.
His parents, and 9 children came to Canada in 1855.

Any ideas on how to start to find Thomas on this very little =
information?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
