I am looking for several families with ties to Charleston, Cheraw, and
Sumter, 
so perhaps some of you out there can give me a hand.


WHITE/VILLENEUVE Keziah Jane (maiden name unknown) b ca 1810 married Mr.
WHITE from Sumter. They had a daughter named Sarah Jane who married Joseph
Henry VILLENEUVE from Charleston. In the 1850 census, Joseph and Sarah Jane
were living in St James Parish, Mt Holly Post Office, along with several
children and Sarah Jane's mother, so Mr. WHITE was probably dead by then. In
1860 they were living in Cheraw. Joseph was a stonemaston and a 1st lt. in 
the Civil War.  Keziah Jane WHITE died and is buried at St David's Cheraw. 
Joseph died of pneumonia within a few years after the war and is also buried
at Cheraw. There is a Mr.FERRETTE also on the family plot, but I am not
clear 
on his connection to the family. Sarah Jane White Villeneuve and her 6 or
several 
children are listed in the 1880 census as living on MAIN ST, SUMTER TWP,
SUMTER CO. 
Does anyone have any info on this family? Sarah left Sumter and went to GA
and FL.

MOISE/STOPPELBEIN: Warren Stoppelbein from Charleston, brother of Rosa and
Hattie above, married Edwin "Edie" Moise from SUMTER. They had 3 children
Daisy Edna, Lorenz Clifford, and Harriett Louise.


HURST/STOPPELBEIN:Brothers CHARLES M and EDWARD HURST married Rosa and
Hattie Stoppelbein, sisters from Charleston. Charles was Sheriff of Sumter
Co in the early 1920's and perhaps longer.


There was clearly a Charleston/Sumter connection, although I'm not sure what
it was or how all these folks met. There was a mission chapel from St
Phillip's
Parish in Charleston in the Sumter area, but I believe that most of these
folks 
were Methodist or Lutheran.
