Hi David, I'm your cousin Stephanie. Samuel Drayton is my uncle. I'm the daughter of his brother Leon Drayton. I'm in the process of doing research on our family in SC. I will share some information that I found out so far and help it helps. We are also in the planing stages of doing a Family Reunion for 2010 in SC. I met you on my visit a couple years back on my visit to Germany to see Uncle Mac with family members. I would love to include you in our e-mails for the family reunion. Hope the information i'm providing helps. Signed your cousin Stephanie Enslaved Families on Drayton Family Plantations: SC, FL, GA and TX In the first project of its kind, the Magnolia Plantation Foundation of Charleston, SC has sponsored genealogical research to reconstruct the lineages of enslaved communities on Drayton family plantations in the United States and Barbados. For the past year, researchers from the University of South Florida Africana Heritage Project and known descendants of families formerly enslaved on Drayton family plantations have worked together to rediscover the scattered paper trail which may connect the enslaved ancestors on Drayton family plantations with many thousands of living descendants throughout the United States.
