Off the top of my head--realize this is very much in the formulative stage--I would note the following: *I found a will (1700s) for a wealthy Wilmington, NC family with NY landholdings, and I believe, but haven't proven, that some of this family had SC connections as well. *There is a marriage noted in the Charleston newspaper between a FREER and a DUBOIS with New Paltz, NY connections; I think it was also 18th c. *The Petit-Guerard colonization in SC in the 1680's included several with NY connections. Among them were the Thibouts. This family may be connected to the Jean/Jan Thibout/Tibout who married HESTER DUBOIS in NY. *Mariners and shippers had well-established roots among NY, London, the West Indies and SC. The DUBOIS families were prominent in each of these locations. Prominent DuBois were also mariners and naval officers in Coligny's day, and some in my own direct line were involved in shipping and traveling widely. It wouldn't be a stretch if we find them as shippers/producers of early colonial goods. *Shipping records show some of the same DUBOIS names popping up in ports of entry such as Philadelphia and NY on several occasions. This again lends itself to the notion that connections went beyond just local families, and that some DUBOIS traveled across the ocean more than to just immigrate. They could have just as easily traveled north and south. Hope to get back soon with the specifics, but I thought if no one else was actively researching who could/would compare notes, I would wait until I have the specifics down cold (documented, footnoted, etc.) before posting for informational/educational purposes. Question for you, URQ--I've forgotten your specific DuBois roots. Could you remind me? I am trying to chart who on the net is searching which branch. Also, given your handle, is the URQUHARDT family among yours? If so, I have some Methodist info with that name.

One branch of my SC>Alabama DuBois family settled in LA before the CW, but I suspect more/most Louisiana DuBois' were Catholics from France, Acadia, etc. My DuBois family was thought to have had West Indies connections, and I do have some info from the islands c. 1700, but haven't connected them up to anyone yet. The Alabama DuBois in the early 1800s were from two primary places: SC and NY. The South Carolinians included my direct line. They settled in Autauga, Perry, Greene, Hale, Jefferson, Mobile, and other counties. The New Yorkers (possibly by way of PA) settled in the Huntsville, AL area. Other than the fact that one of my great-aunts married a Mississippian (surname of Lipscomb), I don't know about MS DuBois'. I would love to hear again from the BARENT DUBOIS descendants on this list who settled in Alabama. I am finding some connections between the NY and Carolina families and it is possible those connections carried through to migrations to Alabama.

Hi, I am interested in DuBois from Southwest Louisiana. Possibly Canadian, French or Carribean origin. I have been reading about Dubois from Al and Ms on this channel. I am interested in their origin. I would love you to send me any information of their origin. DuBois here in La. were here probably as early and 1760. Earlier than that they were probably in Canada around Nova Scotia. Thanks, Lynn

Hello Peggy: I have the book "DuBose Genealogy" by Ms. McDowell, on page 114 there is a Barney DuBose who married a Lula Head. Barney's father is William Walton DuBose. No date or additional info on Barney, but there is more on his parents. I can give additional info (according to the book) if you would like me to. My great grandmother was a DuBose. She lived in Alabama. Died in Baldwin County, AL (near Mobile, AL). She is a direct line from Isaac I. Good Luck, Elaine- in Texas

Elizabeth/bob My Harriet Duboise Butler and family moved from Warren Co TN to Franklin Co AL about the same time frame as Stephen and ELias Duboise. THey had 2 sons in Franklin Co AL one in 1835 and one in 1837. By 1840 they were back in TN , Coffee Co. Anerrece might be your Amerrica just misspelled??? This could be a female. By the way TN did occasionally give Land Grants to women, my ancestor Sarah Elam was first woman Granted land in Warren Co Tn in 1811.

In a message dated 10/31/99 11:34:03 AM Eastern Standard Time, rlelong@bellsouth.net writes: << The dates don't seem to work for Mary being the daughter of John II. Mary Whilden Dubose, to my understanding, had several children with John Dubose & would have been too old if in fact the daughter of John II. Did you mean to write that Mary was the daughter of John III and the granddaughter of John II? If so, do you know who John III married? >> Rivers, One of the confusions is in Harrington's use of [II] for the third John Whilden. It is less confusing to go by birth/death dates. There were just too many Johns and Marys! John Whilden (born c.1683 in MA) was a Christ Church Parish planter who died in 1723, leaving a minor son also named John, a wife Mary (maiden name unknown), and several daughters. In addition to his holdings in Christ Church Parish, John Whilden [II] also owned land in neighboring St. James Santee Parish. He was granted 490 acres in Jan 1705 on Jeremy Creek, Craven County, which now takes in the town of McClellanville. John and his wife Mary conveyed this 490 acre tract to Col. Thomas Lynch (c.1680-1738) by "deed of feoffment" dated 27 Nov 1717. Today this 490 acres is part of Point Plantation which operates as a fishing resort and bed and breakfast. The will of John Whilden (c.1683-1723) cites five daughters, including Mary Whilden, who married about 1730 John Dubose (b.c.1694), a Santee River planter and brother of Elizabeth Dubose Whilden. In 1744, John and Mary Whilden Dubose sold their land in Berkeley County and moved to Lynches Creek in Darlington District, where by 1750 John had received land grants. The eldest of their four sons, Elias Isaac Dubose (1747-1789) served as a captain of the militia company of St. David's Parish during the American Revolution (1775-82) and was a member of the Second General Assembly of SC (1776-78). Jonathan Whilden (c.1683) in about 1721 married Elizabeth Dubose (born c.1695), d/o Isaac & Suzanne Couillandeau Dubose. Jonathan and Elizabeth had 7 children: Jonathan Jr. (c1722), Joseph (c1724), Elizabeth (1726), Elisha (c1729), John (c1731), Suzannah (1733), and Mary (1736). Upon his older brother's death in 1723, Jonathan became the guardian for John's minor son, John Whilden (III). In 1744 John married Martha King. His will refers to a daughter, Elizabeth, but no son, and indicates that he was a shoemaker at Seewee Bay, Christ Church Parish at his death in 1746. Just to clarify: 1 Gabriel Whilden (c.1600-c.1654) + 1st Margaret Diguina + 2nd Martha Unknown (d. 1639) 2 John Whilden (c.1630-1706) + Mary Holland (d. 1700) 3 John Whilden (b. c.1655-c.1706) + Unknown 4 John Whilden (c.1683-1723) + Mary Unknown 5 John Whilden (d.1746) +Martha King 5 Mary Whilden + John Dubose (b.c.1694) 4 Jonathan Whilden (1689-1736)--my 5th ggrandfather + Elizabeth Dubose (b.1691) Most of this information comes from a cousin in Islandton SC and a manuscript written by C. Michael Harrington who has written several articles on Whildens in the War Between the States. You can find these articles here: http://www.awod.com/gallery/probono/cwchas/bio.html I have lots more on the Whilden line and would be glad to share more if you are interested. Would also appreciate any information you care to share. Best regards, Ann

To those interested in the above union: I emailed Mike Harrington about the Mary Whilden question. This was his reply: >>>Ann -- The confusion is understandable. We're dealing here with two Mary Whildens. The elder was born in MA about 1687. She was a daughter of the John Whilden who brought your family to SC. The Mary who married Dubose, however, was a granddaughter of John Whilden by his son, John, Jr., making her a niece of the Mary born about 1687.

Bob, I am starting a transcription project for the Alabama Christian Advocate obituaries. I'll keep a special eye out for the DuBose/DuBois/DuBoise folks to be sure. I must admit that beyond the Methodist records, I'm not keeping up with the DuBoses as they are too numerous and not my line and personal selfishness (and self-survival) dictates I try to figure out my own folks first. ;>) I am building databases for U.S. DuBois Protestant/Huguenots (again, time restrictions keep me from going into the other lines--none of my direct line having been Catholic in at least 8 generations, and probably a few more beyond that) and another database for Duboise lines who are not connected up somewhere else. I am also building a European duBois and du Bosc/duBosq database for families pre-1700. If anyone has a DuBoise or DuBois or duBosc gedcom that you could allow me access to, I can more easily track these lines.
