I am compiling a genealogy of the descendants of Gabriel Guignard, a Huguenot who migrated from France and settled in Charleston in the early 1700's. Your Robert Heriot Clarkson (and you, too, if RHC is your ancestor) is one of Guignard's descendants. I don't have any more on RHC than his 1910 census records. If he died in the five or so years between the 1910 census and the date that South Carolina finally started recording birth, marriage and death records, then there would be no death certificate for him in the SC Archives in Columbia. If you live in the Columbia area, you might be able to see if there are any newspaper archives of his death announcement. I believe The State was in publication at that time. Or you might check to see if there is a survey of cemeteries in Richland County that has a record of his burial place.

I live in Maryland and do not get down to SC often enough to do on site research. I invite you, if you wish, to contribute your Guignard - Richardson - Mayrant lineage information to be included in the genealogy I am compiling.
