I am researching my husband's family (Bryant). In trying to locate his ggg father, I have located his ggfather, Charles "Henry" Bryant, in the census's (I am 99% sure). He was listed in the Census:
BRYANT, HENRY (1910 U.S. Census)

The sister Maggie Young appeared in 1920 Census as Maggie Sandifer, wife of a J D Sandifer, and had the above children with her as well as Sandifer children.

I am trying to work backwards, to find the family of Charles "Henry" Bryant, his death certificate filled out by his seperated wife listed parents as unknown, but an obit that the family published, stated that he was the son of Mr & Mrs Samuel Bryant.
In 1920 he was married and living in Pennsylvania.
My question is, do you have any info about this J D Sandifer & Wife & Children? I am trying different leads, to back track to the Bryant side.
I found this:
South Caroline Death Index, 1915-1949

I have contacted the library down there via email, and they could not find an obituary for this Sandifer, I was hoping to get "lucky" and find my Bryant ties. Chuckle, chuckle...so goes the genealogy quest...
If by chance you would have any info that you would be willing to share...I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,
Deb Bryant
