Charles
Vivian
Spradley,
was
born
in
Camden
on
May
6,
1906
to
the
parents
of
Charles
Benjamin
Spradley
and
Buelah
Viola
Stokes.
...
Charles
Benjamin
Spradley....was
the
son
of
William
James
Spradley
who
was
married
to
Sallie
Catherine
Stokes
Myers.
.....
My
family
records
indicate
that
she
passed
on
February
22,
1920.
Within
the
same
entry
in
reference
to
the
obituary
of
William
Spradley,
someone
raised
the
question
of
whether
it
applied
to
William
Spradley
or
his
father......
William
James
Spradley
(born
January
4,
1839,
died
May
18,
1923)
was
indeed
the
father
of
Charles
Benjamin
Spradley
(born
November
28,
1876,
died
May
1942).
The
exact
day
of
May
is
unknown
to
me.
J.B.
Spradley
was
William
James
Spradley's
father.
His
full
name
was
John
Bryant
Spradley
(born
November
25,
1819,
unknown
death
date).
My
records
are
based
on
conversations
with
my
father
before
be
passed
at
93
as
well
as
the
family
bible
and
several
trips
to
the
Mt.
Zion
cemetery
over
the
years.
My
father's
family
left
Camden
when
he
was
a
teenager
and
moved
to
Miami,
FL.
Probably
in
the
1920s.
During
the
last
decade
of
his
life,
he
returned
to
Camden
and
purchased
a
home
near
the
Colonial
Cup
track.

Anna
Meyers,
daughter
of
THOMAS

and
EDITH
(--?--)
"Annie
Myers
was
born
August
1840
in
South
Carolina
and
died
March
17,
1923
in
Boston,
Massachusetts.
Her
parents,
Thomas
and
Edith,
are
listed
on
her
death
record.
She
married
George
F.
Devine
born
about
1818
in
England
and
died
14
Mar
1883
in
Saint
John,
Saint
John,
New
Brunswick,
Canada.
George
lived
in
Camden
South
Carolina
until
about
1860
at
which
time
he
gave
Power
of
Attorney
to
Washington
Meyers
to
dispose
of
his
South
Carolina
property.
The
following
is
from
an
email
sent
to
me
by
Rob
Rathbun,
great
grandson
of
Estelle
F.
Devine
on
February
28,
2011.
Please
email
either
Rob
or
myself
if
you
can
help.
"Census
records
indicates
his
birth
country
as
both
Ireland
and
England.
He
did
marry
first
Harriet
Augusta
Shartland,
the
daughter
of
Isaac
Shartland,
a
native
of
Bath,
County
Somerset,
England.
Harriet
died
May
17,
1854
in
Glenn
Springs,
South
Carolina
living
a
daughter,
Emma
Charlotte.
His
daughter,
Emma
C.
Devine
died
in
Boston,
Massachusetts
on
January
16,
1933
at
the
age
of
80.
She
was
buried
in
Fairview
Cemetery.

"George
F.
DeVine
of
Camden,
South
Carolina
purchased
Lot
33,
24,
34,
40
and
41
on
January
4,
1855.
In
1860,
George
was
listed
as
a
planter
while
living
in
Kershaw
District,
South
Carolina.
On
July
2,
1861
George
made
Washington
Myers
his
power
of
attorney
to
pay
off
debts
and
dispose
of
property
in
Camden.
It
appears
they
(
George
and
Anna
Meyers)
moved
to
Florida
shortly
after
this.
"
"His
granddaughter,
Estelle
Masters
Rathbun,
told
stories
of
her
grandfather
to
me
in
the
late
1970's
In
summing
them
up,
"George
had
a
plantation
and
slaves
during
the
civil
War
in
Florida.
He
was
outspoken
against
the
abuses
towards
slaves
and
was
jailed
for
these
views.
He
left
Florida
and
moved
the
family
to
New
Brunswick,
Canada.
He
played
the
viola
and
piano.
"
"He
is
first
seen
in
the
City
Directory
of
Saint
John
listed
as
a
professor
of
music,
music
publisher
and
dealer.
His
place
of
business
was
82
Prince
Williams
Street
while
his
residence
was
on
Celebration
Street
in
Portland,
North
Saint
John.
By
1878
he
was
listed
as
a
music
dealer
at
95
Germain
Street.
He
was
listed
as
a
music
teacher
in
1881.
With
him
in
1881
were
his
wife,
Anna;
his
daughters,
Emma
age
22
and
Estelle
F.
age
16.
He
was
a
professor
in
St.
John
and
was
a
member
of
the
Masons.
He
was
connected
with
the
Trinity
Church
and
the
Mechanics
Institute.
He
was
a
member
of
the
Church
of
England.
It
appears
he
was
buried
in
a
lot
owned
jointed
by
Thomas
Reynolds
(purchased
August
3,
1878)
and
Emeline
Steel,
widow
(purchased
October
23,
1878)."
"Anna
was
left
$1400
in
George's
will.
"
From
her
death
certificate
and
death
record
I
have
Annie
Myers
born
August
1840
in
South
Carolina
and
died
March
17,
1923
in
Boston,
Massachusetts.
Her
parents,
Thomas
and
Edith,
are
listed
on
her
death
record.
South
Carolina
is
given
as
birth
state.
She
died
at
home
at
275
Shawmut
Avenue,
Boston,
Massachusetts."
In
the
1910
census
of
Boston,
she
lists
the
birthplace
of
her
father
as
Germany
and
her
mother
as
North
Carolina.
She
is
working
as
a
machine
hand
at
a
local
factory.
She
and
Emma,
her
step-daughter,
are
lodging
together
at
a
boarding
home
on
Cambridge
Avenue
in
Boston.
She
was
a
machine
hand
for
underwear
garments.
In
1920
she
was
working
as
a
stretcher
for
a
children's
garments.
