Not particularly interested in Duke family, only as being a married connection to distant cousins, if that. But I am interested in the Wells name, as my wife is a Wells, from Lexington, Ky. And the family came from Virginia. Any chance of a connection there?

Elaine, Looked for your VANCE name in "A History of Richland County South Carolina", by Edwin L.Green. No VANCE, but in the section "Early Landowners" there is an entry on page 81 for "VANSER, Bartholomew (120; Feb. 12. 1770). On Congaree. John FRENCH, Robt. GOODWYN, Eliz. RICKER."

I am seeking information on VANCE girls who married between 1790 and 1820, primarily in Spartanburg-Greenville area. They could be sisters or daughters of Matthew , John or Abner. Any help will be greatly appreciated since it is so hard to track the ladies. Thanks in advance for sharing. Elaine

A great number of libraries across the country make Heritage Quest available to their card holders. A wonderful and free service. Check with your local library.

Sorry for all the cross posting. Wanted to get the news out and expand on Gails comments to SCROOTS. I can get on Heritage Quest from my home using my Public Library Access. All I had to do was sent up an account thru my Library using my Library Card number. It has been wonderful for census records. I so much prefer seeing the image rather than transcriptions.

Who are the children listed? -------------------------------------------------- Billie

URQ, Thank you for the address. It was very thoughtful of you to pass it on to the rest of us. It is seldom that Judith Giton's letter is printed in full and I enjoyed the chance to read it again without having to dig into my files. It is unfortunate that there seem to be an error attached to the inclusion of Judith's letter in "The Cross of Languedoc". I hope I am not being too "picky" if I mention it. I don't think I have often seen her name spelled with a "u", though often with two "t's" (Gitton) which seems to be the spelling now used in the area of her home in La Voulte. The other point is that I am not aware that the home of Judith and Pierre Manigault is still standing in Charleston. I do so much wish that it were. The writer probably has confused their home with that of Judith and Pierre's great grandson, Joseph Manigault, which is owned and well-cared for by the Charleston Museum. I don't visit Charleston as often as I would like to, but when I do I always enjoy visiting the old house and marvel at the great care taken by the staff to present it to the public. Best regards, Edward L. Manigault -----Original Message----- From: URQ5@aol.com [mailto:URQ5@aol.com] Sent: Monday, July 31, 2006 3:45 PM To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SC] GUITON/ MANIGAULT _Click here: http://www.huguenot.netnation.com/Cross_of_Languedoc/Fall2006.pdf_ (http://www.huguenot.netnation.com/Cross_of_Languedoc/Fall2006.pdf) Greetings from SC. Just happened across the 1685 letter of Judith GUITON (later MANIGAULT) at the national Huguenot site. She was among those Huguenots who escaped from France & made their way to South Carolina. Thought it was fascinating & others might enjoy too. URQ

Thanks to you both for this interesting contribution. I am replying because I recently had cause to think my "Irish" grandfather may well have been of Huguenot descent a few gens earlier. John Golladay was b. Ohio , mid 1860, and was shown on the 1900 AR census as Golidy, boarder and rr worker. He and my grandmother married, had two kids and he was off the stage before 1910. No one in the family has a good story as to where he went so I have settled on a working theory of the buxom blonde at the other end of the tracks : ) Just recently I discoved some information on the net that the name may have been something like "Gaulledet" and that he may have become Golladay as a result of earlier Huguenot ancestory fleeing to Ireland for several interim generations. I am now in the process of reading up on Huguenots and the circumstances of their persecution. ...a subject I never thought would involve me. Isn't genealogy just a lot of fun? ron in CA a downstream son of South Carolina... -----Original Message----- >From: Edward Manigault <edwardl@manigault.us> >Sent: Jul 31, 2006 8:15 PM >To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: RE: [SC] GUITON/ MANIGAULT > >URQ, > >Thank you for the address.
