Do you know of Ansel ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Ansel. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Ansel.<1>

Our sources for Ansel (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Ansel other than they indicate that Ansel would be found somewhere in Greenville County, South Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1902.
