John,thanks for the information.I found in my cousins notes, the late Dr. Wofford Baldwin,MD that Mary Elizabeth Baldwin Married Richard Dempsey Yow.You are right they had no children as far as we know. I did find a John B. Yow buried in the old Martin Creek Cemetery near Clemson University ,Seneca SC. These graves were removed in 1961 by the Army Corps of Engineers when Hartwell Lake was filled.Mary was a sister to my ancestorial grandfather Isaac Baldwin who lived on Martins Creek,according to the land platts their property joined each other.The Yows have long since left this area,I know a lot of them ended up in Stephens county Ga. where they were very prominent serving in various public offices and owned vast amounts of property. Im told they originated in Holland.There is a history book by Trogdon"The History of Stephens County,Ga."that tells quite a bit about the Yows.Thanks for the reply this helps confirm what I had learned earlier.
