Sorry, but the first names mentioned doesnt correspond to info I have, however Sarah(Sallie)Chassereau and Uzziah Rentz are the families that I am looking for. And also their daughter Rosha Ann Rentz married to James C. Belger in which is the family name that really evades me(James' father)

1Gen: Jeremiah William Bishop mar.Jan.13, 1848 to Cordelia Ann Kinard. Both buried at Mt. Pleasant Lutheran Church Cemetery, Ehrhardt, SC.

2GEN: Their daughter: Susan Elizabeth Bishop, b.Dec.4, 1848, d. Mar 25, 1931, marr.on Nov.1, 1868 to Little Berry Rentz, Sr. b.Nov.1, 1847, d.Sept.8, 1926. Both buried at Memorial Free Will Baptist church Cemetery, Surrency, Georgia. Little Berry Rentz, Sr. parents were: Aaron J. Rentz and wife Susan Georgianne Polk.

Susan Elizabeth Bishop and Little Berry Rentz, Sr. had 10 children as per 1900 Census but their family Bible only listed nine:

Matthew Cornelious Rentz. b.Jan 31, 1870
C.R. Rentz b.Mar 19, 1871
Polly A. Rentz b.Sep 1, 1872
Obadiah Berry Rentz b.Oct. 8, 1876
Ida Rentz b.Sep 22, 1878
Susan Alice Rentz b.June 7, 1882
Little Berry Rentz, Jr. b.Mar.26, 1888
Aaron Jeremiah Rentz b.Mar.26, 1888
Raymond Shannon Rentz b.Feb.23, 1891

Hope the above helps!

You are very generous to offer lookup assistance. I have a copy of a portion of the 1870 Broxton Township, SC Census and am interested to connect Little B. (Berry?) RENTZ who may have married a a Susan Elizabeth BISHOP. I believe her mother may have been a KINARD. The census lists them having one child, Matthew, age 6 1/2 in 1870. Would Little B. have been a child of Aaron and Susan E. RENTZ? Any help would be most appreciated! Thank you. My Email address is faycin@aol.com.

I ordered the Kinard book before it was even published and in fact I submitted the single page entry regarding James Quillie Kinard and his possible parentage. The book has no further information on my family except what I submitted and some of the information given to them was entered incorrectly. I know that a majority of the Kinard families from Colleton county were covered by that book and it was a tremendous help to many people. I keep hoping to find that one book or legal paper that will help me to fill in my missing information!

The book "THE KINARD FAMILY OF BARNWELL DISTRICT, SC 1789 - 1996" is available from: Mr.Charles Lawrence Bishop, 2472 Bear Den Road, Frederick, Md. 21701. It contains information
on the KINARD Family and allied families primarily from BARNWELL, Colleton and Orangeburgh Counties. A great source book.

Could you look for a James Kinard (b. 1832) who married Mary Delilah Fender (b.1834) who might for some reason be listed in the Bishop book. I believe his father to be a John Andrew Kinard (b. abt. 1791)who married either a Mary or an Elizabeth. The other children born between 1814 and 1845 would have been Miley, Charles, Alfred, Martha, Joseph, Calvin and George. Some of the Fender siblings married into the Bishop family and I thought perhaps the Kinard siblings might have done so also. It's a stretch on my part but I have been unable to locate a copy of the Bishop book and would appreciate any assistance you could give me.

Are you kidding? Yes, this helps a great deal, Dianne. Susan and Little Berry's son Matthew is the only child listed on this 1870 Broxton Township Census. You have confirmed that Little Berry was indeed the son of Aaron J. Rentz and Susan Georgianne Polk, which is great. I am attempting to confirm my gggrandmother Mary Rentz's (b.1830) parent/child relationship with Jacob and Rebecca, whom I believe were also Aaron's parents. Thank you so much!

Hi Edward!
I graduated from Columbia College in Columbia, SC. The organ professor was named Dr. Walter Breland. He was from Walterboro, SC. (Colleton County Seat) He might still be at the college and/or live in Columbia. When I was a child, I knew his mother. My mother is from Walterboro.

Also searching for relatives. Do you show a Caroline Rentz--b.Nov. 10, 1834 and d. Mar 10, 1916?
Also, are the the Dianne Blocker who finished WHS in 1967?

My grandmother's parents are buried here, as are some aunts and uncles. This cemetery is located in Jasper County, South Carolina
