Hi - My Moores are also Upcountry SC, but did not live in the Dark Corner area. The GenWeb sites for Anderson and Greenville counties have some excellent resources that might be of help. Greenville has some wonderful online databases of documents,…

Hi Kathryn, I see that you are researching the Brinlee and McKinney families, so that must mean that we are related. Since Sims is also on the list, I would guess that you are descended from either Margaret Leake Brinlee or Hiram Brinlee, Jr.…

The Manning surname comes into my family pretty far back - I think it would be my fourth great-grandmother, Esther Manning (her father was Samuel Manning, if that is any help). I am not too familiar with the family and haven't started real…

Greta, I noticed on the South Carolina group that you mentioned the MANNING surname in Greenville and Anderson Counties. If this is the same family that produced 6 governors, my grandmother worked and traveled with the family as a nanny for years.…

My Grandfather was Grover Cleveland Moore and married Annie Laurel Bright. My Great grandparents were James (Jim) Moore and Polly ? Moore. They seem to be part of the misteries of "THE DARK CORNER" section of Upstate s.c.
Any help anyone could offer would be greatly appriciated. Thanks again Thomas Moore....

If this is the same family that produced 6 governors, my grandmother worked and traveled with the family as a nanny for years. Even though she only passed away in 2004 and I was very close to her, her genealogy is still quite a mystery for me. I can't help but wonder if comparing notes with a relative of the family for whom she worked might yield more results. Hope to hear from you soon! Rodney Williams

I had a couple of great uncles settle down somewhere in Houston, Texas. I haven't done much on their lines yet.....& I just have that bit of info from my grandfather's obituary. Where in Texas are you searching? And have you been to Arkansas doing any research?

I just had a thought....you know how they have those tour bus trips/packages? I wonder if they have one for genealogy buffs? lol Come to think of it, it sounds like a neat idea. :)

Later, Deb

Our family came from KY to. The Lewis and Moore families are in IL and also came from Ky by way of NC I believe. I have to ck my papers.
