Hi:
I am posting this on a hunch.There is a family of Abbott's that are from NC moved to
SC and were neighbors to a Smerill or sometimes spelled Smerell, I am wondering
if the spelling could be wrong. I run into
so many at the Archives,where a census taker
changes the spelling of names not even realizing they are doing it. But these two
family's were neighbors out of the little
town of Camden, South Carolina, Kershaw Co.
I have a great deal of information on the
Abbott family. All I know about the Smerill
family is one of the men was a jail keeper
in Camden during the civil war.I have read in
history books that he was very devoted to his job. Making sure no prisoner escaped.
Please contact me at [email protected] if
I can help you any more.
