Hi, Tyler,

Everybody's out of the loop these days, but I'm still working on the Raysors, and
occasionally on the Walkers. I may or may not have mentioned on this list that I got
copies of census records for Colleton County, including St. George's Parish (now
Dorchester Co) South Carolina, for early 1800's and 1850. I'd be happy to do lookups for
anyone on the list.

Alfred Raysor & Barbara Inabinet family, George Raysor and Ann Sisson Stokes and family,
and Rebecca Raysor and David Walker family lived in the same area in 1850. By that time,
Thomas Raysor was in Barnwell District.

I don't know anything about the Colson family, but my Gavins moved from Colleton SC to
Alachua FL, too. Did the Colsons migrate in the 1850's?

Pat
