To all of you who have written with Porcher questions -- I will be happy to do lookups and help you make connections, but I have a special request. My daughter is getting married in 2 wees and I am buried right now with arrangements and festivities. I will need to take a genealogy break for about a month. Then by all means ask again. Thanks, everyone. chp

Hi , I only have a couple of Peter Porcher names in a book I have, but not married to your name.Right now I have a great maternal grandparent who is Susan Porcher married to a Robert Mckewn Haig that I am looking for.

Hi, Betty or Cynthia Would either of you have any information regarding : Peter PORCHER , who married Elizabeth YONGE b. Feb 7, 1757 ? Thanks, CJK1043@aol.com

Hi Cynthia, I just saw the e-mail you wrote to someone else. I am trying to learn about Susan Porcher who was married to Robert Mckewn Haig. I would love to know who her parents were. There is also a Susan McKewn Haig that married Lawrence Toomer. They were all from Charleston and the Low Country area. Susan Haig Toomer is buried in the same cemetery that my gt.grandparents were. I can not figure if she is a child of an uncle or a Gt uncle. I wrote the cemetery and they only had her listed in the grave site, but no record of who her parents were. Would yoou have either of these names? Or, if you do not mind could I have your list of Porchers in case I see anymore on these people that could tie things together? Thanks so much Betty

Hello, Looking for any reference to the surname HESTERLY (or variation) to use as a point of beginning. Family would have been in the area approximately 1750-1800. I realize this is a big time period, but it is a best guess on part. Thanks. Hal Hesterly in FL

Would it be possible sometime to find out if a Mary Charlotte? Prevost is buried there. I have been told that she is, but she isn't on the incomplete list that is available on line. What I really want to know are here dates and if there is any other information about her in the records.

There is not a compiled list of St. Philips cemetery on the web or in book form. The only compilation is at the Church office. It is located between St. Philips and the French Hugenot Church. The list is very sporatic and it accompanies a VERY LARGE hand drawn map of the cemetery. Very hard to read. I have been down this path many times with St. Philips and it is not fun. I would suggest you bring a magnify glass. They are very nice people, just not very well versed in their cemetery. If I can be of any help, just email me and I will do what I can. I live in Charleston and have been to the cemetery hundreds of times. Look forward to hearing from you. I humbly remain, Private Grant Mishoe Macbeths Light Artillery C.S.A. <A HREF="http://csaartillery.homestead.com/index.html"> http://csaartillery.homestead.com/index.html</A>

Dear list member: Can anyone tell me if there is a complete listing on the internet for persons buried at St. Philips Church at 142 Church St? If not, does anyone have a book listing everyone buried there. I would like to verify the burial of an Aaron Barton in April of 1834 in the church cemetery. His wife, Jane (Livel) Barton may also be buried there. I am planning a trip to Charleston to get the information from their tombstones, and I would like to verify that they are buried at St. Philips. Richard V. Byrd
