Your Lee County Connection

My name is Cindy Ridgeway Parker. I volunteered as coordinator for the Lee County, South Carolina USGenWeb homepage because all of my roots go back to the Old Sumter District, which much of Lee County was formerly part of. My parents, my grandparents, their parents, and on back were born in Clarendon County which was also part of Old Sumter District. I was born in and I live in Sumter County, less than 20 miles from where my ancestors were settlers, farmers, and then planters. My family has lived in South Carolina from as far back as 1680.


 Bishopville, the county seat of Lee County, is less than 20 miles away from Sumter.  If you have Old Sumter District roots, then I might be your cousin. You may visit me visit me via my personal homepage at http://www.palmettostateroots.org, 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 don't research other surnames or do other outside research.

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.

  "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.

The Lee County, SCGenWeb site
 is dedicated to the memory of my beloved daughter,

Sumter County

Be sure to take a look at the Sumter County home page too. Since much of Lee County was once part of the Old Sumter District it might be a good idea to look there also. The old Salem County area that was once part of Old Sumter District is now within Lee County's borders. 

About the South Carolina USGenWeb 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 depends upon you---the user.

The USGenWeb Project and the SCGenWeb Project are a non-commercial, all-volunteer organizations.
