MY GREAT GREAT GRAND FATHER CAME TO AMERICA IN 1869 HIS NAME WAS LAWRENCE BLUME, HE CAME HERE FROM GERMANY WITH A BROTHER FREDRICK AND THEY MUST HAVE SEPERATED THERE AFTER BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THE FREDRICK PART OF THE FAMILY GOT TO. LAWRENCE CAME TO SOUTH CAROLINA AND SETTLED IN ANDERSON IN VARENNES TOWNSHIP. HE MARRIED RACHEL BROWN. LAWRENCE DIED JANUARY 13, 1923. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFO YOU MAY HAVE THAT COULD HELP ME. THE OLD STORYS TELL THAT THEY HAD A FIRST COUSIN WHO CAME WITH THEM AND THEY ALL WENT DIFFERENT WAYS TO SETTLE. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE COUSIN NAME AND CAN NOT PROVE THIS. BUT LAWRENCE AND FREDRICK ENTERED THE COUNTRY IN 1869 MY COUSIN HAS THE RECORDS OF THIS. IF I CAN HELP YOU I WILL BE GLAD TO.EMAIL ME AT cara8bro@aol.com
THANK YOU,
CARA BROWN
