My ancestor Dr. Stubbins FIRTH died July 04, 1820 Ffirtthville, St. Paul's Parish, SC and is said to be buried "in the village on Dorchester". Is Dorchester an Island? If anyone knows the county/parish where Dorchester is located I would appreciate it if you would tell me. I would like to join the list for that county/parish. An article in the JAMA Vol. 189, No. 4 p. 319-320 July 27, 1964 stated that his "contributions to the pathogenesis of yellow fever more than a century and a half ago were exemplary." Linda McDowell

Linda, Dorchester is located in present day Dorchester County, some 40 miles or so north-west of Charleston.
