Is there any information on a former slave name Stephen DuBose who was married to a Laura Graham DuBose. We are looking for information that sent Stephen to the Gandy plantation. Thanks. Herman DeBose

Linda ....I have already sent my check for the book....Question....is the microfilm available at the Clarendon Archives. I have a feeling I will need to look at it after I finish with the book. I have seen the Cemetery listings ....and know that I have a large numbers of folks who attended that church.....will probably need to look at the microfilm to finish getting the information.

No the book was not published by a government agency. The information on the church can be viewed on the microfilm up through the 1980's. But we were informed that you could get into trouble if you printed information on persons that could still be living. So we decided to stop the Register at 1927, to respect the right of privacy of anyone living.

Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for filling me in with details about the DuBois family. It is good news to find that some of them were wealthy businessmen and merchants. I know so little about the family and am anxious to learn all I can about it. It is very possible that mine were DuBois before they came to Salem by way of Barbados. There must be some reason that they changed from Boyce to DuBois. At this point all I have is the Joseph Boyce b1609 Burford Oxfordshire England but am hoping to learn info about earlier generations. My records show that he was a tanner and his family thereafter were Quakers. Where did your family come from in England? Any idea of professions? A few generations down they were counterfeiting Rhode Island money in NY and later a ship builder, 2 doctors, and the Treasurer of VT. Thank you for sending my querie to the other list which I had thought was only for one DuBois line.

Dear Rachel, I am copying this response to the DUBOIS-L rootsweb list because it more directly deals with the DUBOIS name. The DUBOSE list is good for DUBOIS folks too if their ancestors, like mine, landed in SC and points south. The earliest record I have for my family is that JOHN DUBOIS paid quitrents in Carolina in 1696 to the Lord Proprietor. Since that time, the name has been consistently spelled DuBois, with an occasional Dubois --small b--in transcriptions. Something to keep in mind about going from England to Babados to SC to Boston and NY. Several DUBOIS men between 1500 and 1700 were known as sailors and merchants.

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the interest in my DuBois family. Any chance you could be on this line also or have you confirmed that your name was DuBois when they came to US.? The Barbados detour is a recent discovery from a cousin who I think said he was kicked out of the Church in England and sent to Barbados. "I have been told that Mary BOYCE d/o Joseph & Eleanor BOYCE.was supposedly born in Barbados on their way over to America. I have found no independant confirmation of this as yet." I have seen Mary added to the other children on several sites and in LDS. In the info about Barbados on one web site it said that many were sent from England basically to get them out of the country. I did find Jospeph BOYCE on the ship's passenger for The Expedition -November, 1635 departed London for Barbados. Its unusual that there were only men on this ship (205 passengers listed) since others to Barbados had atleast some women. This leads me to believe it could have been an exile. I found only 7 ships went Eng to Barbados in 1635 where some settled and others continued to New England. http://www.primenet.com/~langford/places/bi163.htm#1635 Barbados was an important sugar resource and very valuable to England who eventually found more profits there than from the whole US. So my Joseph went to Barbados in 1635 (possibly exiled) and on to Salem in 1639. Can't seem to find any information on ships making that trip to US and am trying to find out how long he stayed there. He may have had his first child there which means that Eleanor Plover must have come on another ship before 1638 but haven't been able to find any other ships. As to my early records- first from an ancestor who did extensive research. Then confirmed by "Savages Dictionary of New England" BOYCE, JOSEPH, Salem 1639, declared freeman 18 May 1642, had [1] Esther, bapt. 21 Feb. 1641; [2] Elizabeth 6 Mar.1642; [3] Joseph, 31 Mar. 1644; and [4] Benjamin, 16 May 1647. Since these are baptismal records from Salem it is possible the a 1st child, Mary, may have been born/ bapt. earlier in Barbados or England. -------Rachel --------Dutchess Co.

Hello. This message will be brief as I truly believe I am probably the only person in the world looking for my ancestor. I am looking for the father of my grandfather, Willie Bryan DuBose who was born 1867 in Choctaw Ala. to Joel? DuBose and LouEllen Bryan(t). They were seperated by the time my grandfather was 3 yrs. old so they never appeared on a Census together. Most Joels I have found in the area were too young, too old, or were already deceased when my Willie Bryan DuBose was conceived. I know a little more about LouEllen Bryan, her parents were Joseph H. Bryan(t) and Adeline C. Alford of Greene County, Ala. and Choctaw County, Ala. Joseph H. Bryan(t)'s parents were William T. Bryan(t), born 1799 in S.C. and Catherine C. Hutton whose parents were Joseph Hutton and Agnes Calhoun of Abbeville, S.C., , pioneers of Greene County, Ala. Joseph H. died young and Catherine C. married Robert Craig. Well, the message lasted longer than I anticipated. My hope is to perhaps find my DuBose on a tax roll for Choctaw County. Does anyone know where I could obtain this information. Courthouse records were destroyed for the time frame in Choctaw County. Louellen married John Bassett Phillips in 1877 and had another family. Thanks. Beth Ann

I appreciate your post and will be on the lookout for your names.

Very sorry about the last notice. My partner was checking his stock and sent it out after I just started. I'm new the the list and would like to hear from any who recognize my line. Hope this is the right list. Joseph BOYCE, a Quaker, came from England to Salem in 1639 by way of Barbados. Later about 1800 the name was changed to DU BOIS by some brothers and DUBOYCE by others. May have been trying to separate from counterfeitter father and grandfather. Some moved from Gloucester RI to Vermont and Quebec. Some of the early records spell it BOYS. (Not sure what happened to several in this generation of 14 children who may have remained in R.I..) It is thought that DU BOIS may have been the original name. Here's the line with birth only and without spouses so it won't take up too much space. I have many more details to share. Am especially interested in finding other descendants and the original family in England. Would love to know more about the Barbados incident which may have come from dissention from the church.

It is good to hear from another DUBOIS on this DUBOSE list... But we need more info to have any clue about your line. How about some names, dates and places?

Hi, I'm new to this list and would like to know if any cousins or experts can recognize my line. Would love to here from any of you.

THe Methodist Episcopal church is no relation to what we think of as the Episcopal church. Rather, "Episcopal" denotes the fact that the Methodist Church is "episcopalian" in its organization--with bishops and conferences, etc. My local associate pastor likes to say that Methodists are more "episcopalian" than the Episcopalians. I believe that some examples are that local churches are not owned locally, but are owned by the conferences; bishops assign the ministers rather than local churches hiring them (although the local churches do a have a say); , etc. Here is a web page setting forth the organizational structure of the current United Methodist Church: http://www.umc.org/abouttheumc/organization/ Now, tracing how Methodism evolved from the Wesley brothers' Holy Club to various denominations and names such as the Methodist Church; the Methodist Episcopal Church; the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; the African MEthodist Episcopal Church; the Methodist Episcopal Church, Zion; and so forth, takes a more in-depth reading of its history. If you lump all Baptists of every stripe together, they are the largest U.S. Protestant denomination, with Methodist second. If you separate out the various Baptist denominations and the various Methodist denominations, then the denomination known as the "United Methodist Church" is the largest U.S. Protestant denomination. But that statement is disputed by those who say you cannot separate out,say, the Baptists from the Southern Baptists, and the Bible Baptists, etc. Much of the splits in the Methodist church came about over slaveholding. John Wesley was opposed to slaveholding, and the church for the most part--even in the South--was also opposed. But a thorny problem arose. A Bishop in Georgia married a woman who inherited slaves. Under Georgia law, they could not free the slaves. They were stuck holding the slaves unless they moved from Georgia. But he was the Georgia Bishop and wished to remain there. I think it was around 1844 that the church split over the issue of whether the bishop had to be removed because of his wife's inherited slaves. It was a northern bishop who actually led the move in favor of upholding the Georgia Bishop's right to remain a bishop--on the grounds of some parliamentary and MEthodist constitutional procedure, and not on the moral grounds of slaveholding itself. I of course find MEthodist history fascinating and could go on and on, but as Mary notes, I formed the Methodist-L list and the MEthodist Genealogical Society to have a larger forum for these issues and others affecting our Methodist ancestors. For more on the history of Methodism, I highly recommend going to this web page: http://www.drew.edu/books/200Years/200UM/homepage.htm Elizabeth DuBois Russo Maryd0318@aol.com wrote: > > Elizabeth....I also think someone inquired about the difference between > Methodist Episcopal and Methodist....thought maybe you might know?????

Yes, I've heard of Bishop DuBose. Unfortunately I fried my database last month, and have lost all my DuBose info. I don't collect it for my FTM program (which I do only for my DuBois ancestors), so I hadn't saved it elsewhere. References to Bishop DuBose can probably be found by doing a search of Rootsweb's archives for either this list or the SCROOTS list. I think the discussion on the gentleman took place in late 1998 or early 1999. Elizabeth DuBois Russo Bebenjohn@aol.com wrote: > > Elizabeth, > > Someone was interested in Bishop Mouzon's ancestry.
