My name is Shelia Sprouse Anderson. I am researching the Stepp ancestry. I have a North Carolina 1870 census. It lists
Stepp, Fadell 44 M W Farming, Barbary 33 F W Keeping House, Joseph 21 M W Farm Labor, John 19 M W " ", Rebecca 17 F W At home,
William 8 M W " ", Sarah 4 F W " ", Caroline 2 F W " "

My William (Billy) B. Stepp was born 1862 and died April 10, 1949. He married Nancy Matilda Shelton (1860-August 16, 1948). His obituary list 2 sisters, Miss Caroline Stepp of Old Fort, NC and Mrs. Lou Hudson of Spartanburg. 2 brothers, Mant Stepp of Old Fort, NC and George W. Stepp of Greenwood.

3 sons, Samuel Forest Stepp of Campobello, SC
Roscoe Stepp of Mexico City, Mexico
George Stepp of Spartanburg, SC

3 daughters, Mrs. D. W. (Annie) Rudicill of Cowpens, SC., Mrs. Zepher Cantrell, Miss Hattie Stepp both of Valley Falls, SC

I believe Billy might be the son of Fidillia. If so, do you have any photos of any of Thomas, Joseph or Fedillia?
I don't have any of Billy or Samuel Forest (June 8, 1886-Sept 17, 1967). I only have Sam's wife, Fannie and my Grandpa James (Jimmy) Loyd Stepp (June 29, 1917-April 13, 1981)

Thank you for your time and thank you for your research and for putting it online. I wasn't sure if I would be able to locate anything past Billy.
