My dear Mrs. Hill:-

                                                 In the
South Carolina Eligibility list I found that “Rectors
of duly established parishes and Huguenot Pastors prior
to 1750” are accepted as Colonial ancestors.

I do not think that Rev. Thomas Reese would be accepted
by the S. C. Society as he was born, I think, in 1742.
In using S.C. services we have to follow

(page two)

their eligibility test; in N. C. I believe, I have already
sent you the services of Hugh Porter of Orange Co.  Will
get Mrs. ?som's paper to file as soon as I can.  Surry Co.
was formed in 1770 from Rowan.  Let me know if you have
received a letter and some data &c. from me, and also if I
can do anything else for you.  Hope you have gotten some
help from what I have found.  Am sorry I have not been able
to get just what you desire.

Your sister’s application slip has not come yet.  Don’t
hesitate to write to me for anything you want.  I am always
glad to help you.  With best wishes—

                          Hastily yours,
                          Mary Sumner Kingsbury.
May 13, 1921.
