Hi Carl:
 
I may have found some family ties to the F. E. Justice you are looking for:
 
In 1870,  William Justice (27) and Hilliard Justice (32) are listed in Edgefield County SC, living with a woman named Elizier Justice (40) in Perrys Road area. (1870 SC census, Edgefield Co, page 342a)
 
Here's the interesting part: In Lexington County (Lexington Courthouse) SC is also a woman named Elizier Justice (40), who is living with Franklin, (17), Ellen (17), Mary (11) and Christopher (9). in the Elizabeth King household.  (1870 SC Census, Lex Co., p 445a)
 
Your F. E. Justice may be associated with these two branches of the family.  There is also a Franklin Justus in Pickens County (Long Creek) in 1860, living with William Justus and family.  These are some places to start...
 
You may also want to contact Martha Rowe at MESDA to see if they have any potters with that name listed in their artisan database. 
 
Lisa

 Hi all-

Has anyone ever heard of a potter named F.E. Justice? He was in the Edgefield, SC area in 1870. I've tried searching the census via Ancestry.com, but the name never shows up.

thanks
