This list might be largely added to. One compiled from the records of 

 the Sextons of the Cemeteries of the City of Charleston enumerates, be- 

 tween 1808 and 1880. tw«nty-seven deaths in that city occurring between 

 the ages of 100 and 128. During 1880, forty-five deaths occurred of people 

 over 80 years of age — twenty-one whites and twenty -four negroes. Robert 

 Mills enumerates among a large number of aged persons, 41 (specifying 

 their names and residences) who exceeded 100 years, between 1800 and 

 1820, in South Carolina, giving in addition cases like the following : Mrs. 

 Morgan, of Darlington County, died in 1805, aged 90, leaving 244 descend- 

 ants ; Mrs. Easeley, of Pickens County, was the mother of 34 live-born 

 children, having twins only once ; Mr. and Mrs. Neighbors, of Laurens 

 county, enjoyed 80 years of married life together ; Mr, and Mrs. Nettles, 

 of Sumter County, who had been married 72 years, had 134 descendants 

 in 1803. In 1882 there died in Orangeburg County, Mr. and Mrs. Smoak, 

 over ninety years of age, leaving within a radius of 9 miles from the spot 

 where they had lived so long together more than 300 of their descendants.
