Scott Wells here -- "Mulberry" in Georgia is modern Winder, with the Rockwell Universalist Church extant.
ah, thanks Scott, then i guess i should mention that Salubrity is modern day Liberty SC.
Dunlapville no longer is a community, but it was between Mountville and presentday Clinton.
Slabtown also no longer exists, but is off SC 88, east of Clemson and south of Easley.
Fairfield would be the folks in Feasterville, Lexington would be near I-20 crosses the Edisto River (and close to where a modernday "small u" universalist church still exists).
