Just found that my great grandfather L. G.(Curg) PARKER had a store in the Bodcaw area. He
also had land here. There are some grave sites of family member on this land. I would be very

1890. I plan to be in the area late July or first of Aug. Thank you.

in the gaps? Do I have them right? I have documentation for all dates, but am uncertain about
Mary/Mollie and Flora. I am assumming Mary/Mollie's is the M.W. listed in Chester Co. South
Carolina 1850 census because she is the right age and is living next to the parents in 1870 census
and Lawrence is living with her and her husband. On the 1870 census the child that would have
been Flora's age is listed as Mary W. (the family already has a Mary W.), but in Good's book on
Southeastern Nebraska he states that Green Blake had a sister Flora who married W.N.
GODBOLD. Information I have on Flora is from 1900 Census. Thanks for any help you can give
me.
