South Carolina: Facts, Discussion Forum, and Encyclopedia Article
Sephardic Jews have lived in the state for more than 300 years,(*) (*) (*) especially in and around Charleston (*). Until about 1830, South Carolina had the largest population of Jews in North America. Many of South Carolina’s Jews have assimilated into Christian society, shrinking Judaism down to less than 1% of the total religious makeup. In addition, Roman Catholicism is growing in South Carolina due to immigration from the North.

Hi Phil,
I am sorry ,I was incorrect about My Rachel being Charlies sister. She was his fathers Jacob sister.There were 12 of them, I have there names if you want them.
According to the Toe River Valley Heritage Vol 1 &2.
Your Jacob was a brother of my grandmother Rachel m Edward Wilson. There father was George J. Silvers Jr. b 10-28-1753 Fredrick Co. Md. m Nancy Ann Griffith b 1766, they had 12 kids.
George Jr. father was George Silver Sr. (Jurg Silbers) b 2-1731 Germany m Sissy Market (Elizabeth Schmieden)Germany.
Jacob married Elizabeth Wilson they had 1 child Charles 10-3-1812 Elizabeth died during child birth. Jacob married Nancy Reed and they had 12 children.
I have a good story.
Jacob was a farmer and a Babtist min. in the Kona area for 50 years. Because he couldn’t read or write. His wife Nancy Reed would read the bible to him and he would memorize the scripture he used in his sermon.
He married Nancy on 10-6-1814 in Buncombe Co. Nc. She was the daughter of Samuel Reed.
They are buried at Silver Family Cem. in Kona, Nc.
Hope this helps!

Re: William Griffin/Connelly Springs NC
Hi Donna,
I know it has been quite some time since you posted this one, but I just ran across some information that may be of interest. (It has been some time too since I have gone through some of my information.) I am related to a William Laney Griffin who might be a link to you as well.
William Laney Griffin m. Telitha Jane Williams circa 1839.
Their child William Daniel m. Clara Hutchins.
William and Clara had two sons, Eston and Bascom.
I show my Griffin line in the Connely Springs area of NC.
