My family has been in Orangeburg County and Calhoun County (nearby) since at least the early 1800s. I personally never been there and I can’t believe what they’ve gone through.

It's so important for us to know our history.

Wow! My Grandfather said our family came from Orangeburg,SC down to Georgia after the Revolution. And we are descended from a Danish immigrant who married a Native American woman. His name was Colding. We only know her first name which was Addie.

These people were the real indigenous indians in that area

My 6th great grandfather was David Rumph Sr. A Swiss immigrant. They landed in Charleston in July 1735. With other settlers,, He and his siblings settled Orangeburg when it was called the "Township on the Edisto".

My 5th great grandfather was William Friendly from England. He settled in Dorchester and Colleton counties. 1840 Census shows there were 5 free colored persons in his house. His son, my 4th, was mulatto. My great grandmother was listed as Black in the 1920 Census but she looks Native. Her sister was married to Edward Muckenfuss and they were part of the Edisto Indian Tribe of Ridgeville. I grew up in Orangeburg

This series about the place of Orangeburg City and County is pertinent to my Baxter-Boyd and Bonaparte-Darby roots. I expect to hear from some of my relatives throughout the series and learn more about my forebears in the process.

My dad, (sharecropper child) was born in 1921 his mother (sharecropper/Enslaved), ( my grandmother) was born here also. They were farmers by nature. Schools were centered around sharecropping schedules for children! #WEARECOMINGFOROURCHECK!#~ MLK

WOW! The man speaking at 2:59 is the spitting image of my father. I would bet that he originated in Northwest Afrika. We are the Balanta people of Guinea Bissau.
