Kizer Family

Surnames: Kizer, Stoudemire, Murray
I'm trying to find the genealogy of the Kizer family from Dorchester County, South Carolina as far back as I can. I'm looking for the parents and/or grandparents of Edward Jacob Kizer who was born in 1867 and died in 1918 in South Carolina. He married Olivia Quintille Stoudemire. They had, I think, five kids? One of which was Minnie Kizer, born in 1894 and died in 1970 in South Carolina. She married Lawton Murray and had my grandmother Dorothy Murray, now Dorothy Massalon. If anybody has any information about anyone in this list that would be great. Thanks!

Both Olivia Q. Stoutamire Kizer and Edward J. Kizer are buried in Holly Hill at Target United Methodist Church according to findagrave.com . There are pictures of the headstones on that site. I found it very interesting. Granny Murray (Minnie K. Murray) died in 1977.

I thought Stoudemire was spelled this way but the headstone spells it as I did above. That is as far as I can go on that side of the family. The Murrays (George A. and Georgeanna Patrick Murray) are buried at Appii. That would be Dot's grandparents. According to findagrave.com George Edward Allen Murray is buried at Friendship Church in Cross. This was George A. Murray's father. His father, I think, was Arnold MacMurray (later Murray) who was born in Ireland. findagrave.com has 2 Arnold Murrays one buried at Mt. Olivet and the other at Friendship with no dates on headstone. That is really all that I think I know.
