Family Websites
These are websites that are
related to families that lived in or passed through Old
Marion District, Marlboro, and other Pee Dee area
counties. Some of the sites belong to members of the Pee
Dee Chapter, SCGS. Others are interesting because they
mention or touch on local families. Some are clearing
houses or one-name-studies for surnames that are
represented in the Pee Dee area. If you know of other
family websites of interest, please send the link for
evaluation.
Disclaimer
The Pee Dee Chapter wants to make our members
and the public aware of the wide variety of websites with
information about Pee Dee area families, and to point out
some of their highlights and surnames. However the Pee
Dee Chapter CANNOT guarantee the validity or accuracy of
the research and information on other websites. It is up
to the individual researcher to verify any information
they might find.

Thanks to Robin Moore for suggesting this link. (Click on

I thought you might like to add Dr. Ira Benoy's website
to the Pee Dee Chapter's Links of Interest. It's
beautifully done and I think it would be interesting even
if you're not researching the families it mentions.
William Fletcher Stalvey married Idella Venturia Gasque
and he built New Life Church. My grandfather, Gary
Foxworth and his siblings went there for school and Dr.
Montague McMillan taught there.... He's included many
family photo's and one I especially like shows the family
in a car taken in 1911 on the way to New Life Cemetery
for a funeral. The License plate reads: MARION - 195.
