Rodwell Honor Martin of South Carolina.

Question

I am trying to find ancestors of Rodwell (Rodrill) Honor Martin of Charleston, South Carolina.  He was born Feb 27, 1854 and died Jan 19, 1939.  He married Lillie Belle Badger on Dec 20, 1887.  She was born in 1867 and died in 1897.  I cannot find his father.  His death certificate gives the initials of W. H.  Can anyone help me?
