Good First Day of Spring List Members,

I know it's a lot to ask, but "nothing beats a try. . ." et cetera, et
cetera, et cetera. So here goes.

(1) Do late 19th-early 20th century Greenwood City/County Directories
(i.e. those that contained more information than today's
name/address/phone # listings) exist? (2) Are those for the pre-1897
period in Greenwood City/County? (3) Does anyone have access to them.
(4) Might anyone do lookups for any or all of the following? (5)
Alternatively, would anyone direct me to sources from which I can obtain

the information (preferrably on-line, but that really may be stretching
it!)? Except where noted by an asterisk (*), the ancestors I'm looking
for are African American; therefore, as I understand it, their listings
would be at the back of the directories.

1870-1925, Abbeville District (pre-1897), Greenwood, Ninety-six, Epworth

BACKUS, Ellis/Elliot, "Nanny", Sina, James, Sally
WALLER, Thomas -- possibly on Route 2
*Information on any WALLER in the Greenwood/Ninety-six area

Cheeky, aren't I? As I am a Digest (versus List) subscriber, please
feel free to respond to me directly.

Looking forward to an overflowing inbox and thanking all in advance for
any assistance.

Judith
Brooklyn, NY
