Louis DeBerniere McCrady papers, 1887-1964.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/720277332

Papers chiefly consist of correspondence (1943-1964) and genealogical research on the related South Carolina families of Coachman, DeBerniere, Ford, McCrady, and Shackelford. In the correspondence, only one letter dates to 1943, and the rest, dated from 1955 to 1964, are mostly letters to McCrady from his cousin Johan Stone in Donaghadee, Northern Ireland. Letters chiefly concern the genealogy of the DeBerniere and Crommelin families, but also discuss family matters, events in Great Britain, and other matters. A letter from Stone of Dec. 14, 1957 thanks McCrady for a publication entitled "The Santee" and adds: "Over here our history lessons seem to be written by Northerners and, apart from Lee's brilliant campaigns, the South apparently seems to existence since the civil war...we never knew what the South had suffered after the war in its role of 'conquered province.'" Also included are papers (1901-1906) of Louis DeBerniere McCrady, Sr., which consist of correspondence with T.W. Bacot chiefly relating to the legal and business affairs of the Cherokee Marble and Iron Company (of North Carolina), and related financial records. Papers pertaining to the Shackelford family include a scrapbook (1887?-1920s) of mostly newspaper clippings, including obituaries of Shackelford family members and relations. Ford family genealogy includes information on the Hume family and other related families, and a map of Georgetown District (S.C.) showing the location of Ford and Shackelford plantations. Collection also includes a few miscellaneous items and photographs. Photographs depict members of the McCrady and DeBerniere families; most are unidentified, except for a photograph of Louis DeBerniere McCrady, Sr., and two portraits of persons tentatively identified as John Anthony DeBerniere and Gen. Abraham Crommelin DeBerniere.
