• Notes

  Huldah was at home with her parents in 1850. The following from is from the Griffin Family Bible: Hulda was married 1st, in about 1856, to Milton Robert Graham who was born in 1831and died July 1864. He was the son of John C. and Rebecca H. Stukes Graham, making him a brother to Huldah's father's 3rd wife, Eliza Lucinda and to her brother Nelson's 2nd wife Caroline Letitia. Milton was a Private in Capt. Thomas Pinckney's Company of Mounted Rifles, Manigault's Battalion. Because of illness, Milton was sent to the hospital in Huguenot Springs, Virginia on July 3, 1864. Later in the month he was brought home to die. He was buried in Rehobeth Cemetery. A letter that he wrote his Mother from the hospital on July 11, 1864 has been preserved. He wrote of seeing his brother John and of not having heard from his brother Joseph since he last wrote to her. He wrote of the disease and death in the hospital and asked her to pray for him. He sent a lock of his hair. He mentioned that he hoped his Mother would write to him as soon "as you can after Huldah gets sick" suggesting a child was on the way. No child was listed for Milton and Huldah born in 1864 (Helen Graham Carpenter, op. cit.). Milton's outfit became Company D, 4th S.C. Cavalry (S.C. and National Archives), therefore he served with his brothers-in-laws Nelson and Robert Griffin. Huldah married 2nd to John Ardis (Helen Graham Carpenter, op. cit.). John Ardis was the son of William and Elizabeth Ardis (1850 & 1.860 Sumter Census). John was head of #50 Privateer Twp. on the 1870 Sumter Census; with him was Huldah, Graham stepchildren and their children. 1880 Clarendon Census #227 Fulton Twp. lists John W. Ardis, farmer; Huldah, stepson Maxwell Graham and the Ardis children.
