Thanks very much for this, Sharon.

The following transcription got my attention:

1860 census SC Charleston, 8th Ward
HOWARD
James 25 Ire
Cathrine 20 Ire
next to:
HOWARD
Patrick 32 Ire
Mary 4 SC
Hanora 6/12 SC
(next to McInerney and McGrath families)


I am descended from the Howards of Tubber and the first names listed here are all ones common in our family. The only Howard records we have relate to emigration to the northeast of the US and possibly Pennsylvania but not South Carolina. We were also related to the McInernys and the McGraths in Tubber so this cluster of graves looks interesting. As we all know, families from a given locality who emigrated often attracted other families from the same locality by writing home about accomodation and job opportunities so , who knows, this may be evidence of a hitherto undiscovered Tubber enclave in SC.
