Welcome
to Sumter
County. My name is Cindy Ridgeway Parker. I
volunteered
to coordinate the Clarendon County, South Carolina USGenWeb homepage
because
all of my roots go back to the original settlers of Old Sumter District. I was born in and I
live in Sumter County, less than 20 miles from where my ancestors were farmers and then planters from as early as 1740. My parents, my grandparents, their parents, and
on
back were born in Clarendon County.
My
ancestors all moved inland from the low country of
South Carolina before the Revolutionary War, having settled in South
Carolina from as early as 1680.
I graduated from Sumter High School in 1973. I started my
college education at the University of South Carolina at Sumter. I
completed my B.A. in education at Coastal Carolina University in Horry County and my M.Ed.
at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. I teach mathematics at Alice Drive
Middle School in Sumter.
If you have Clarendon County roots, then
I might be your cousin. If you ever come by this way, let me know. I might
be going to the local archives that day. Feel free to e-mail me anytime. (Be sure to put
Clarendon County in the subject line. I receive a lot of e-mail so I only
read the ones with interesting subject lines or return e-mail addresses
that I recognize.) In the meantime, visit me via my homepage where you will
find the basics of my personal genealogy. I am quite willing to share what
I have on the surnames that I research, but please understand that I am an
amateur genealogist, researching my own family lines. I do not have the
time to research other surnames.
I am happy to share my knowledge of
Clarendon County and to do quick lookups in the resources that I own when I have spare time, but
I am not available for research. I have posted some information on
researching in South Carolina on line. Please check out these lessons
. Maybe they will help.
If you have other data to add
to the files that you find posted on this web site, please let me know. I
will be happy to get them on-line for you.
The Clarendon County, SCGenWeb
site
is dedicated to the memory of
my beloved daughter,
Melissa Leigh Sutton
Carolina Girl turned Hodkgin's
Warrior,
turned Carolina Angel.

"Each smallest act of kindness reverberates across great distances
and spans of time, affecting lives unknown to the one whose generous
spirit was the source of this good echo, because kindness is passed on and
grows each time it's passed, until a simple courtesy becomes an act of
selfless courage years later and far away....." This Momentous Day, H.R. White
Let's continue our circle of sharing.

Be sure to check out the
Sumter County genealogy page too. Since Clarendon County was once part
of the Old Sumter District many people with ancestors who migrated west
during the 1800s actually have their roots in Clarendon County, but just
don't realize it. There are more queries on the Sumter page
.

About
the South Carolina SCGenWeb Project
In March and April, 1996, a group of
genealogists organized the Kentucky Comprehensive Genealogy Database. The
idea was to provide a single entry point for all counties in Kentucky,
where collected databases would be stored. In addition, the databases
would be indexed and cross-linked, so that even if an individual was found
in more than one county, they could be located in the index.
At the same time, volunteers
were found who were willing to coordinate the collection of databases and
generally oversee the contents of the web page. The SCGenWeb Project is an
extension of the KYGenWeb Project. This project is now nationwide. The
USGenWeb Project is becoming one of the largest volunteer efforts on the
Internet. Its growth and utility will depend upon you---the
user.
The USGenWeb Project and the
SCGenWeb Project are a non-commercial, all volunteer organization and are
NOT connected in any way with USGenWeb, Inc. which is a for-profit Idaho
corporation.
