Sephardic Jews have lived in the state for more than 300 years,(*) (*) (*) especially in and around Charleston (*).

Robin Williams recovering from heart surgery | U.S. | Reuters
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Oscar winner Robin Williams is expected to make a complete recovery from his recent heart surgery in the next two months and plans to resume his comedy tour afterward, his representatives said on Monday.
Williams, 57, one of Hollywood's leading comedians and known for his manic stand-up routine steeped in wacky accents and improvisation, had surgery on March 13 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
“His heart is strong and he will have normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he'll be able to do,” Dr. A. Marc Gillinov, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the clinic, said in a statement.
The operation was done to replace Williams' aortic valve, repair his mitral valve and correct an irregular heartbeat.
Williams postponed his “Weapons of Self-Destruction” comedy tour earlier this month to undergo the procedure after complaining of shortness of breath.

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.
