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.
