Hey-enjoyed what was there. I know these things take time. My husband was born in St. George and his daddy, Marshall LaRoche Platt, was jailer there. Looking forward to y'all growing on this website. I found 3 of the kin in the cemeteries you had. Thanks Mary.

I have lots of information on GAVIN and RAYSOR families from Dorchester, Colleton, & Orangeburg Counties I'd be happy to share. I am searching for my great-grandparents' graves: Anna (Annie) Gavin Raysor and William Moss Raysor. We're pretty sure they are in the St. George/Indian Field area. W.M. Raysor's father was a Methodist minister, but I di not find the graves at the Indian Field church yard. Some family members are in the Hughes family cemetery...does anyone know where that is??? My grandmother supposedly had a fence erected around the graves in the 1960s. Any clues?
