Hi Ray, I looked in five will books from the Charleston area and find lots of both ALSTONS and SIMONS/SIMMONS/SIMONDS, etc. Didn't see a Deborah in either of these families. Question: Is this the same ALSTON family that has a POOLE connection? I have notes for them.

Audrey & Ray, I live less than a mile from Brookgreen Gardens (the former Brookgreen plantation), on the beach side of highway 17. George C. Rogers, Jr.'s THE HISTORY OF GEORGETOWN COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA: The ALLSTONS were the richest of the Georgetown rice planting factions. Two brothers, John and William Allston, had secured royal grants in 1734 and 1735 on the Waccamaw river, thereby founding a dynasty. John md. Sarah BELIN, leaving at his death in 1750 four sons (John, Josias of Turkey Hill, William of Brookgreen, and Samuel) and one daughter, the wife of Benjamin Marion. Since John had only daughters and Josias ultimately moved to the Cape Fear, William was the sire of the most famous of the double "L" Allstons. The single "L" ALSTONS were the NC group starting with John ALSTON 1673-1758.
