Hi,

In your note regarding the SC Sanders in Edgefield County you made
mention of the name, Thomas Sanders. In my Sanders line there is a
Thomas Sanders who must have lived at about this same time. I have him
in the old Orangeburg District which, presumably, is where the city of
Orangeburg, SC is now located. I have very little information about him,
or his forebears, except that he died in 1812 and was married to a
Clarisey Rutland. I have fairly complete records from this point on down
with regard to my line which comes from their son Wilson Sanders. There
were ten children from this marriage, but I have the names of only the
first eight: John, Cullen, Blanset, William, Wilson, Sara, Allen, and
Celia. My Wilson migrated to Ritter (near Walterboro), located in
Colleton County, SC. The old plantation home, built in 1825, is known as
Beech Hill, still stands and is owned and occupied by my second cousin,
Edward Berien Sanders. It was a rice plantation in the pre-civil war
days, but is now a tree farm. It's interesting that many of the black
folks working there now are descendants of the plantation's original
slave population of about one hundred.
