My Roots are in Lawrence,Essex co,Ma. Daniel Nolan and Catherine devereux.bef 1850 In my search I found a Dennis Nolan origin unknown.Who married a Martha Dubose. In South Carolina.now Dubose is an old Hugenot line coming from Canada. This has seemed odd and out of place,Nolan's were not french protestants,unless it was De Nollent.The decendants are nowhere to be found.Dubose is still a prominent family in Sumpter Co,SC. I have been told that,Appalacia,with a haven for those hiding from the English.So i put this theory on the back burner.Dennis could have fought in the Revolutionary war.Military Land Grants were a popular way of paying for Military Duty.Those who did not fish worked in many different plantations up and down the Eastern Seacoast.
