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
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.
