eawebb01 on “Searching for William H. KEY b. (around 1855) family in South Carolina”
I’m searching for the KEY family of South Carolina around Barnwell County. William H. Key married Laura and had several children, Mary Elizabeth (b. 1880) being my grandmother. I have no information other than that. She married John E. PEARRE from Augusta, GA. They eloped so I don’t know where they got married.
Thank you.
