Thaks a lot. I will probably search it next time I go. I have searched
Sumter and Marion for mention...and all the newspapers I could find.

Seaborn McMichael is my ancestor-and Elizabeth Riley- Do you come from his
brother John? Most folks do...

Seaborn's son Thomas Jefferson married Mary Jane Aven and they moved to
Marion Co- and had my Great-Grandmother Mary Jane McMichael married Wm.
Nathaniel Brown (Son of George son of Wm M)
my Grandparents Wm. Eudonah Brown & Georgia Judson Roberts
My Parents Causey Eudonah Brown & Nina Ruth Hooks.
