Joy Wright King
Pawleys Island, SC
Researching the following Old Pendleton Dist. families:

John SWORDS b.19 Mar. 1755 md. Eleanor SWANCEY b.9 June 1754
John's father Wm. SWORDS, mother? Ann Elizabeth (????)
Eleanor's father James SWANCEY, mother unknown, but James md. Elizabeth
McCLELLAN before 1766.

Samuel MORRIS, Sr. b.1750-60 md Rebecca MINTON b.28 Feb. 177[4]
Rebecca may have been a second wife. Her father Thomas MINTON, mother
Hannah (????). Need information on the MINTON and MORRIS families prior
to moving to SC.

Samuel MORRIS, Jr. b.4 Sept. 1793 md Mary M. SWORDS b.21 Oct. 1793
Would like to confirm any siblings of Samuel's.

Salina M. MORRIS b.ca. 1820 md William Henry WRIGHT b.5 Aug. 1823?
William's parents are unknown but I believe that Martha WRIGHT, and
David WRIGHT are siblings. These Wrights are the group I'm hoping to
find someone else working on.

Would also like to find information on Samuel & Mary's daughter Teressa
A. MORRIS b.1829 md ???? ESTES/ESTRIDGE.

Isaac Walker WRIGHT b.7 Apr. 1853 md Sarah Catherine SIZEMORE b. 4 July
1854. Sally's parents are listed on her death certificate as Jesse
SIZEMORE & Polly [no maiden name]. I have done a great deal of work on
the SIZEMORES and still haven't been able to prove these parents.
