Subject: [SCCOLLET] Grover Cleveland Raymond - look into probate records
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:12:07 -0500


I would pursue the probate records.

I obtained probate records a few years ago for my GGGF/GGGM (Walling -
not related to your line) who died in 1901. The probate took a year or
two and was completed around 1903 or 1904, and was filed in Walterboro.
The cost was about $15-$20 (this was late 1990's or early 2000's).

Information such as who did the work of selling assets, paying bills,
and keeping the records (handled the probate process), who received the
money, and some recorded loans/notes appeared which demonstrated a
connection between some of the people involved.

It was very interesting and enlightening.

I also wanted to say we talked to another desendant of grover cleveland
raymond and he said lavinia lived to be 103 and died around 1982.Lavinia
was to have lived the remainder of her life at her daughter farm,minnie
ponds in lodge sc.We know she might have been blackfoot or
cherokee.Maybe both.We do not know her maiden name just that she was
married to a Raymond(clevelands)father .Then he died and she married a
Slayton ,we dont know his name either but he would be my fathers
dad.Cleveland and minnies half brother is my dad.He was born were you
live in walterboro in 1904.Iwonder if the probate court still holds the
