| DABBS |
I am looking for information on the first wife of Thomas David Dabbs,
shown on the 1900 census as follows. Thomas David Dabbs, b. June 1860, and
wife Rachel b. May 1860, living with their two sons, Thomas Zacheria Dabbs,
b. Feb. 1880 & James A. Dabbs b. Dec., 1881, in Richland County, Columbia
City Ward, Ward 5, Dist. 94, on Blossom Street Alley. I can find no
further information on Rachel, Thomas Zacherie, or James A. after the 1900
Census. It is like they have just vanished. I have tried every cemetery I
can find info on and cannot find graves, nor can I find a divorce record
for Rachel & Thomas David. The 1880 Census confirms the above
information as it lists Thomas David Dabbs with wife Rachel, and 3 month
old son Thomas Zacherie. Of course, James A. would not have been born yet.
Thomas David Dabbs' father was Archibald Dabbs, and his mother appears
to have been Archibald's first wife Elizabeth. It also looks like he had
four brothers in the 1870 census. William 15, Thomas David (my Grandad) 13,
Daniel 5, Green 2, & Adolphus 1. I believe that William & Thomas
were Elizabeth's children, because of age & because they are listed as
white. I believe Daniel, Green & Adolphus were Amanda's, because of age
and because Amanda and these three children were listed in the census as
"Mullato" not white. 6 September 2005 |

| DAWKINS |
I am helping a friend with her family history. She has a great grandmother,
Estelle (Williams) Dawkins, whose funeral was held at the Cedar Creek AME
Church in Richland County, South Carolina. She died 8 September 1965. We
have tried everything we can think of to get ahold of someone in the church
to help us. We have tried phoning and e-mailing the number and address that
was listed on their outdated website. My friend even wrote a letter snail
mail and nothing came of it. The letter wasn't even returned as undeliverable.
We have even tried e-mailing the head of the AME Church hoping that
he could help us get a good number to no avail. We are at out wit's
end! My friend is hoping the church might have a cemetery associated with
it or at least have some records that might help her get past a brick wall.

| DOMINY |
I am searching for a Jonathan Dominy. He had a son named to
James H. Dominy born in S.C. around 1813. I believe they could have been
in Richland Co. prior to moving to Laurens Co., Ga. sometime between 1813
and 1820. There were other Dominy(Domincks) located in this county at one
time and I believe that they are relatives of Jonathan Dominy. Jonathan died
before 1820 and may never have lived in Ga. but his son James H. was in Laurens
Co., Ga. in 1820 because he drew in the 1820 Ga. Land Lottery as an orphan.
If anyone has any information please let me know and I will be glad to share
any information I have. (2/8/97) |

to find a connection with this land deed and my DOUGHERTY Family. The above
deed was witnessed by a William BROWN. John' Sr.s daughter Sarah married

in SC. These families wound up in Marion Co TN. Any help appreciated.

DUKE |
I need to determine the name of the other son of Aaron Duke, born circa
1764, Fairfield SC. I've found references to Reuben C Dukes being his son,
and have found Aaron on the 1850 Federal Census, with an 'Ensley Duke' living
in his household, but this cannot be the son referred to in 1828 as his son
who 'died without issue', as earlier census records seem to indicate another,
older son. I have reason to suspect that my gg grandfather Meredith
Duke may have been that other son, and that he knew he wasnt dead, but didnt
want to deter his granddaughters from inheriting their father's estate. I
have found only a deed for Samuel Duke with both Aaron and Meredith Duke
as witnesses. Surely, there are other connections. 27 Sept. 2003 |
