This one is especially intriguing to me, as I have a WILLIAM THOMAS DUBOIS in my line a generation before this one. Isn't someone on this list researching this family?

I have received a wealth of SC info from Betty Mouzon Dunn concerning SC DuBois(e)s. I will be posting here. Since I managed to wipe out my email account where I had stored everyone's email and addresses and bookmarks, etc., I have to say I no longer know who is researching what lines. So please assume I know nothing except my own direct line, and I would so appreciate it if you would remind me which lines you are researching for those of you with SC roots, or brick walls that may have originated in SC (thinking of you poor DuBois(e) souls stuck in TN). Here is the first one. This concerns PETER DUBOISE of Colleton Co. Strangely, I have heard about him from another source this week also. Is this guy my own ancestor PETER DUBOIS whom I thought only hung out in Charleston and Old Berkeley County (St. Thomas/St. Denis Parish)? Or is he a DUBOSE? Or is the origination of a new DUBOISE line?? Anyone?? - --------------------------------------- by Evelyn Mc Daniel Frazieer Bryan. Florentine Press, Jacksonville SC c 1974 first printed 1969 1993 edition revised and enlarged pg. 38 "The taverns were very important to the weary traveler, and usually, they were at crossroads. Several were in Colleton County, such as Smyly's Tavern at Bell's Crossroads, one at Jacksonboro owned by Peter Duboise, and Blue House down below Ritter, so called because the shutters and trim were painted with dye from the indigo plant. Duboise Tavern was converted into a meeting place for the General Assembly when Jacksonboro served as the Provisional Capital of South Carolina from Jan, 8 to Feb, 26, 1782. Another tavern was on the outskirts of the village" Page 176 "On December 17, 1817, the General Assembly passed an act to erect a courthouse and jail in Walterboro. When no further plans materialized toward this need within the year, 125 inhabitants, impatient and perhaps peeved at conditions existing at Jacksonboro, presented another petetion to the General Assembly.

Elizabeth, I am new to this list and of African American heritage. Will you please provide any information you may have regarding slaves connected to the Dubose family. My great great grand father was a slave by the name of Stephen Dubose. He was married to a Laura Graham Dubose and resided in Society Hill, Darlington County according to the 1870 Census. They had 12 children with following names: James, Mitt, Katherine, Albert, Lang, Scout, Sally, Lonnie, Elizar, Leo, Pollie and Hester. There is information that there is some connection to the Gandy's who had a plantation near a Dubose plantation in Society Hill. If you have any information regarding Stephen Dubose's slave line and connections, please share it with me. Thanks. Herman DeBose

Dear Elizabeth, My maiden name was DuBose and I truly appreciated your comments on DuBose/DuBois. Personally, I have always felt that there must be some connection, way back. I have seen your work several places (DuBoseL@rootsweb.com, Genforum, and Greene County, Ala.) and have admired your diligence. Thanks, Beth Ann Spraberry

The following information concerns unclaimed property being held by the state of ALABAMA Name: DUBOSE, ADA B. Last Known Address: 714 Lawson, Selma, AL 36701 Claim Number: 441875 Reported by: Life and Casualty Insurance Company of Tennessee Year Reported: 1991 The state of ALABAMA does not reveal the nature of the property or its value. The property may be claimed by the person listed or the eligible heirs. Proof of identity must be provided. In order to claim the property, contact the Unclaimed Property Office of the Alabama Treasury at: 1-888-844-8400 This information is provided with no obligation by me in order to perform a good deed a day. However, I would appreciate if you would do the following if you are able to claim lost property: 1) Do a good deed for someone else. 2) Let me know how much you were able to recover at flagwaver@aol.com and there is no need to provide your name. I would just like to keep track of how much I have gotten back to people. 3) Tell everyone you know that Phenix City, AL is a wonderful place to start or expand a business. Good luck, Rick Tomblin

For those of you not on the Huguenot-L list, you should know that there is a Huguenot Reunion being held 4/21- 4/23 this year in Charleston. That is Easter weekend. Several of us will be in Charleston most of the week prior to that weekend doing some serious DUBOIS (and other) research. Here is what we are planning: Research at the Hug. Society Research at the SC Hist. Soc.--they are probably going to provide us with private research time during off-hours and off-days, such as Saturday; plans being firmed up Tours Genealogy Swap Mini-reunions--such as the DUBOIS REUNION Social gatherings Fun!! I've only publicized this on the Huguenot list so far, and won't be getting it much bigger, as group sizes for our activities will be limited. But, once I realized that several DUBOIS researchers were coming, it made since we get together and hold a mini-reunion. This is especially true of those whose DUBOIS roots are in SC, the Islands, and England as most DUBOIS reunions I've heard of were for descendants of Chretien and those with New Netherlands/New York/Dutch roots. But we were all probably related way back when, and we should all get together! Let me know if you are interested, and I'll send you more details. PS--NO, you do not have to be a member of any society--just have an interest in Huguenots and having fun! Elizabeth DuBois Russo

I just found this list this weekend and am looking for information about Peter Dubosq. He shows up in the 1880 census as 13 years old and living with his mother,Catherine (Murnane)Dubosq Smith,and stepfather, Edmund E. Smith, at 424 Federal Street in Philadelphia. I also found a Peter Dubosq listed in the 1980 Philadelphia City Directory and whose occupation was a miller, but I can't say if this is the same man. Any help and/or connections would be greatly appreciated. Molly mmurnane@indynet.com

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: For quite some time now I have been unable to access the forum's archives. I get a message stating that the requested URL is not found on this server. Can you help? RESPONSE: Many of the links on the Coker Forum and the DuBose Forum web sites are broken. The reason is that our message archives at liszt.com are no longer fully functional and many of the links were to those archives. I will be correcting this problem by putting the materials directly on the Forum web site, when I get the time. Until then, you can find all the messages by searching the message archives at Rootsweb. Or, you can find some of the material at the SCRoots Forum web site. Try these pages. http://scroots.org/ http://www.rootsweb.com/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/archives/COKER-L/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/archives/DUBOSE-L/ http://archiver.rootsweb.com/archives/SCROOTS-L/ http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/searches/ http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl -=-=-=-=- You can also retrieve Forum digests by: Retrieving Archived Messages BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT ANYTHING DESCRIBED IN THESE INSTRUCTIONS BE SURE THAT YOU HAVE READ ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL THE NOTES GIVEN AT THE BOTTOM. DO NOT ABUSE THIS SERVICE. KEEP ARCHIVE RETRIEVALS TO THE MINIMUM NECESSARY. THEY PUT AN EXTRA LOAD ON THE SERVERS. A. THE DIRECTORY OF DIGEST FILES. To find out which 1998 SCRoots digests are available send a message like this. To: SCRoots-D-request@rootsweb.com Subject: archive dir volume98 quit This will return a directory listing for all the 1998 SCRoots digests. The digests may have been zipped (gz) or they may be in raw text (rw) format. A typical listing reported might be as follows. -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 30432 Mar 11 05:22 77 This tells you that digest Issue #77 was sent out using Smartlist on March 11th at 05:22, the archived digest is only available in raw format and the file is about 30,432 (30k) in size. B. RETRIEVING A DIGEST. To get digest Issue #77 in raw text form send a message like this. To: SCRoots-D-request@rootsweb.com Subject: archive get volume98/77 quit If available in gz format, use "get volume98/77.gz" to get the gz version. C. NOTE WELL THE FOLLOWING. * If you haven't read ALL of these instructions, then don't try any of this. * If you do not understand these instructions, then don't try any of this. * Turn your signature off. If you must append a signature, include the "quit" command to prevent the archive server from interpreting the signature. If the archive server tries to interpret the signature as commands, the results may be something you really don't want to happen and both you and the service may regret it. * Turn off all "card" attachments. If the archive server tries to interpret the card as commands, the results may be something you really don't want to happen. * Do not use capitals, directories and files are case sensitive. * It may take from a few minutes to several hours or more before the server sends the requested file. Be patient. Do not resend the request. Wait until you get a response from the request before you try something else. If you don't get a reply within 24 hours then the request probably failed and you may want to try again. * Don't send a lot of requests for archives. Use this utility sparingly. It adds significantly to the server's workload. * For zipped files you will need to know how to unzip the file using a utility like WinZip (shareware). You can download and install unzipping utility programs from many shareware sites on the Internet such as http://www.download.com. If you don't know how to do this, then you should learn before you try to retrieve the archives. * DO NOT SEND /* COMMANDS TO RETRIEVE ARCHIVES! Retrieving all of the messages in a list archive at once using a /* command will typically double the load on the list server, and possibly worse. On a high volume list this may be a request for thousands of messages, which is too much for the list server to handle, and will probably kill your own mailbox. This is at best reverse spamming and at worst is malicious hacking and may be a punishable offense. Instead of flooding the list server with messages, you're asking the list server to flood you with messages. Either action is unwise and may cause damage to both the server and you. DO NOT USE THE /* COMMAND! * The Forum began in 1998. There are no archived messages before 1998. * Please don't ask me to explain any of this. I can't explain it better than what I just did. If you can't figure it out from what I've written in these instructions, then you probably should not be using this special utility service, yet. Hope that helps, Steven J.

Does anyone know anything about a Dr. M. DuBose who was Methodist Bishop of the Western Conference of North Carolina. He was Bishop when Centenary Methodist Church was built in Winston-Salem, NC, which is located in the Western Conference. The booklet does not give date when he was Bishop but would either be anniversary (century) of Methodism in America, 1880's, or when the current church was built in 1930's -40's. Big difference, I realize! Anyway, one of the beautiful stained glass window depicts a small figure at the left of (large figure)Christ's foot.....Dr. DuBose. On the right side is small depiction of first American Methodist Bishop, Francis Asbury. This church is magnificent and the largest of the denomination in NC with over 4,000 members. Bebe in NC

All, I am looking into a possible connection between a Spring Grove Plantation (Fulton Township, Clarendon Co, SC) and a Spring Grove Cemetery in Rimini, Clarendon CO, SC (what was part of formerly Fulton Twp). I have a copy of a bill of sale & deed showing that a portion of Spring Grove Plantation was sold by David St. Pierre DuBose of Sumter District to another party in the early 1870's. Does anyone know enough about the holdings of Mr. DuBose to know if the present day Spring Grove Cemetery (very old, and grown up) was really a part of this plantation?

See what I mean about brain dead--had I looked at the rest of your message, Bob, I would have seen the Dubose reference. so let me ask this, do you have sources, dates, etc. for these branches?

Thank you! I am trying to keep all the lines straight so that when I start my DuBois(e) blitz through SC records I can remember who is who. Bob, can you remind me also who your line(s) is/are? And was Elias a Dubose/Dubosc? Or DuBois? Or do we know? Sorry for asking things I knew at one time, but a virus hit my database and I've lost this info and my memory is horrible.
