Sorry about so many different posts, but they include all these areas.

Buried at Trinity Lutheran Church, Saluda Co, SC with her parents and most
of her siblings. The cem. record puts her birthdate as Sept 13, 1891, while
the calculations from age at death put it at Sept 13, 1890. the informant
is most likely her youngest brother James Otis Gregory.
--------------------------------------------------------------

1917 - Death Cert. #8493, Edgefield Co., SC
Beulah Blanche Prescott
Female, white, single
b. Oct 8, 1915, SC
father: (W. F.) Prescott, Orangeburg Co, SC
mother: Maude (Jumper), SC
d. May 7, 1917, Collins township, Edgefield Dist, SC
cause: Dysentery, caused infcetion of (Power) House that caused toxin
poison.
informant: B. B. Jones, Edgefield, SC
buried: Edgefield [Edgefield Village Cem, Edgefield, EC, SC]
UT: B. B. Jones

This one is conflicting with information I have from another researcher

I had Beulah Blanche Prescott as the d/o William Edward Prescott b. 1850 md.
Julia Ann Devore King b. 1885. Julia is the 2nd wife of W. E. Prescott.
Since she was buried with them, and wife Julia Ann was younger than William
E. Prescott and of age to have a daughter the age of Beulah, I assumed that
she belonged in his family. But death cert. made me relook at the data.

Checking the cemetery records, she may be the daughter of the other couple
buried beside her: W. T. and Maude Jumper as her DC states. That matches
her death cert. information. Seems we have attached her incorrectly,
attaching her to her grandparents rather than her parents.

Prescott, Ellen [CULBREATH] 1852 - 1900
Prescott, Dr. William E. [Edward] Jan 5 1850 - Mar 27 1916
Medlock, Julia Ann DeVore KING Prescott Apr 29 1885 - Mar 23 1975
*Prescott, Beulah Blanche Oct 8 1915 - May 7 1917
*Prescott, Walter C. Sep 21 1912 - Jan 25 1954

Prescott, Maude JUMPER Sep 10 1883 - Jul 18 1974
Prescott, Wallace T. [Thomas] Sep 21 1879 - Jun 3 1955

So I then went to census records, but of course Beulah Blanche does not show
up in a census. But found Walter who is buried beside Beulah, and he fits
into the Wallace T. and Maude Jumper Prescott family too, which leads me to
believe that the two Prescotts buried with Julia and William E. Prescott are
their grandchildren.

CENSUS: 1920 Lee township, Florence Co, SC, p. 119
Wallace T. Prescott head, M W 40, School teacher, SC SC SC
Maude Prescott wife, F W 36, SC SC SC
Wallace Prescott, Jr son, M W 12, SC SC SC
Alpha Prescott dau, F W 9, SC SC SC
*Walter Prescott son, M W 7, SC SC SC [fits cem. Walter C. b. 1912.]
William E. Prescott son, M W 10 mo, SC SC SC

1923 - Death Cert. #6051, Greenwood Co, SC
Mrs. Behetholem (sic) Smith
Female, white
b. July 23, 1833, NC
father: Crawford Perry, NC
mother: Drucilla Perry, NE
d. March 30, 1923, Greenwood, Greenwood Co, SC
cause: chronic bronchitis with myocardial degerataion
informant: Mrs. C. B. Perry
buried: Good Hope Church
UT: H. B. Ellis, Greenwood, SC

I have the following from 1850 Edgefield Co, SC, The District, p. 192B,
hh#524/524 [Marty Jacobson transcribed census of 1850]
Crawford Perry 75 M Farmer 2,200 NC
Sarah Perry 85 F SC
Elizabeth Perry 45 F SC
Westley Perry 23 M Farmer SC
Hetty Perry 16 F SC

Is Hetty, Behetholem Perry Smith? Her DC identifes her as d/o Crawford
Perry and DRUCILLA Perry both b. NC. Who is Drucilla? Is she another wife,
and possibly the mother of some of the children I have attaced to Sarah, or
is she Sarah Lucinda? Anyone have evidence that this early Crawford Perry
married twice?
