Raymond Does anyone have any information
concerning an c1872 Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
conference/convention in Tennessee? Based on what i've heard,
this convention a significant event following the Civil War.
As I understand it was the foundation for the split from the
'White' Methodist Church. Since my knowledge of this event is
so limited any information you have will be most appreciated.

K.Tucker Sat, 10 AUG 1996 Hello. I'm delighted
to have found this resource for genealogical research. I am
researching ancestors who lived in Laurens Co. & Newberry
Co., SC & possibly Spartanburg, SC in the 1800s. The
families I'm seeking info about are the Cook and Irby
families of Laurens Co and the Cannon, Eichelberger, &
Sligh families of Newberry Co. The Cannons may also have been
in Spartanburg inthe 1850s &1860s.
William Cook of Laurens Co., son of Abraham Cook (d. 1843 in
Laurens Co.) and Henrietta Irby Cook (d. 1851 in Laurens Co.)
married Ella (?) Cannon (I have not yet identified her
parents or place of birth, but it is like to be Newberry,
Laurens, or Spartanburg).
William & Ella Cook had three children: two sons, Pettis
& LeFlore Cook, and one daughter, Mattie Lee Cook, b. 25
Dec. 1860, I believe in Laurens Co. LeFlore may have been b.
in Spartanburg.
Any info re: these families would be greatly appreciated.
