Hi Carol,

I'm currently doing research on the Drayton Family who are in SC. My father is from SC who has lived in NY his grandparents where Richmond & Roxie Drayton they only had one child Cleveland Drayton. 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.

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.
