If this Ronie Toole can trace his line back to Barnwell County/District,
South Carolina, we are related. I have a double Toole line from there.
Some of the lines from Isaac Toole of Barnwell moved over into Georgia at
various times. I was born in Georgia, just married a Texan.

Hi! I can't help with your Carpenters I'm afraid. I coldn't resist asking
though, if you are related to Cherry and Ronie Toole of Guyton, Ga. Cherry
is my first cousin and a wonderful person. I've never met Ronnie, but he
must be very special himself, from all I hear!
