I suspect that he came in August 1753 from Ireland to Charleston SC and obtained land near Camden SC. I suspect that he accompanied Joshua English who was a Quaker from Ireland. Thank you William Reed Knoxville TN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
