I am researching the Lish family from South Carolina, during the 1800's.
I find the family located in Barnwell Co. in the 1880 to 1920 but I can't find them prior to 1880. Can someone help me? Does anyone know of Lish emigrate to South Carolina. I did find one Lish (John) in Pendleton Co, South Carolina in the 1820 census, but I can't find a connection previous to 1820 or after 1820. My question short and simple is where does the surname originate( is it part of another name) and does any one have a connection to Willis and Clara Lish in South Carolina. I am new at this and I am stuck.
Thank you
