Rochelle...
This entry also includes the early ancestor...William Carithers of Abbeville
SC....so I am very interested in this one as well....Wm m. Mary
McGowen.....Abbeville SC
The next generation moved over into Madison County...
So thank you very much...
The origin of the name was Caruthers...and returned to that spelling in
1900.
Hello all Abbeville SC, Madison Co Ga. Carithers..
