Shirley and Peter, Mention has already been made that the Seny family may have been Huguenot. In the following will abstract which Shirley posted, one of the witnesses was Henry Ravenelt. The Ravenel/Ravenell family was part of the Huguenot group who were in Charleston with the de Neufvilles. Some of the Huguenot surnames in Charleston are also found in the New Rochelle, NY group where the other de Neufville group was. You may have already noticed this, but I thought it worth mentioning since that NY group might be related in some way to the group you are discussing. I have not checked for Ravenels in the NY group.
