Elizabeth; I didn't see Joseph Dubois in 1849, 1852, nor 1855 Charleston directories. I have the James W. Hagy, Directory series at home and can answer queries if they don't become overwelming. I have to balance genealogy with a very demanding job. But, glad to help when I can.

Hi Bill Nell, Do you have any Postells in that Directory? Thank you for your help. Carol Taylor

Elizabeth....check in that correspondence (family members) in that file I sent you. One of the Mouzon men went to Paris to study medicine....see if it mentions the school...it might be a starting point in locating informtion on those who went from Carolina to Paris to study medicine,,,,it is beginning to look like there might have been a number of them.

Dr. JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS is a mystery man from the mid-1850s when he would have been in his twenties until the 1870s when he was involved in his father's cotton-gin business in Alabama. He was a land speculator/developer for land in the Panama City, FL region in the 1880s. We don't know his date of death; while we've found no record of marriage, my cousin has a picture of a "Mrs. Joseph C. DuBois, wife of Dr. DuBois" which may have been taken soon after marriage. I am mystified by his lack of military records and census records for the 1860s. ANY help is welcomed, and I'm hoping that Bill will find him in a city directory someday. Bill--do you have these directories? Or are you doing lookups in a library or from microfilm? God Bless You for all of these lookups. Elizabeth "H.

Within ancestry.com, do your search for your ancestor. Click on the world tree entries. Look over the entries once you find a promising tree you wish to download, simply click on the link that says "e-mail submitter/download file". You are then taken to a screen that gives info on the file and the submitter's email addy. You do not have to contact the submitter. Click on the link for downloading; in the case of PC's, this gives you a self-extracting file. There may be an easier way to proceed from here, but what I do is then go into windows explore [I have Windows 98], click on the file [it is assigned a number with an extension of .exe] and it extracts itself into a gedcom file. I then go to my Family Treemaker program, begin a new file, and append this new gedcom file, giving it a name that is the predominant name in the file. I do not add new files such as these to my other databases until I'm quite sure the file is useful; sometimes, I just export some of the info. Doing all of this took me a long time at first, but I've gotten very used to it. I have found Ed Manigault's files very useful and am grateful he uploaded his gedcoms to ancestry.com. I believe John Simon may be using it, too. Once I clean up my databases, I'll be posting there, too. Good luck, Elizabeth "H.

Hi Bill Nell Thanks for your recent List postings of names in the 1856 Charleston City Directory. However, I have already reviewed the Mormon microfilmed copy of this particular year and found my DROZE family on Cannon Street Do you have a copy of the Charleston City Directory of 1849/1850? Or another directory in early 1850's? Would like to confirm if my Droze ancestor was still living "at home" in 1850 and then married in 1852. Thanks so much for taking the time and interest to look up the names of "our ancestors". Mary Alice Droze Erwin

I am looking for information on James Pritchard who married Eleanor Bulloch (Bullock?) on Sept. 9, 1756. Does anyone have suggestions for finding early information in Charleston? I have the marriage date and the birthdate of their child from St. Philip's Parish records, but can't find them before 1756. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Elizabeth It seems likely that Joseph Cornelius DUBOIS could have studied in Europe. If he was later associated with a Medical University, they would have records of his training. William Hutson PRIOLEAU was my father's grandfather. My father left family items in his genealogical notes and charts. Also, I am sure the SC Huguenot Society has his record. I have no specific source. Glad to see you are active on this list. You are a big contributor. I only wish I had DUBOIS relatives. Off-topic, once you mentioned downloading files from www.ancestry.com. How can I do this ? Do I have to contact the contributor? Best H.

Hello All, is there anyone who has COMPTONS in their lineage? I am searching for information on : Stephen Compton, b. 1774. His wife's name is : Susannah B., b. 1776. Their children: Elizabeth A., Richard A., Mariah, Adeline, William H., Celia(Selia). Stephen may have been in Charleston Area prior to 1800, or possibly immediately after. Elizabeth and Richard may have been born in S.C. If your lineage includes anyone in the COMPTON family, would appreciate any information! A.Ross Heinle

Hi Frost, Brainstorming here. The missing JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS was a physician and/or dentist [he was identified as both]; his oldest brother, SAMUEL PATTON DUBOIS was a physician who attended the Medical College in Charleston, and next oldest brother, RUFUS DUBOIS, was a dentist who attended medical school in Maryland. The two latter brothers served in the CSA, but JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS does not appear to have records on either side of the conflict and I'm seriously wondering if he were in Europe. How did you find out about your W.H. PRIOLEAU's medical training in Paris? Elizabeth "H. Frost Prioleau" wrote: > > J. Ford Prioleau, Physician, cr.

Well, we seem to be on a roll here, so dare I ask about JOHN DUBOIS and some of his family such as JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS? Rev. JOHN DUBOIS settled in Alabama in the 1820s, and son JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS was born there in 1831. [Other children born there, too, but not concerned with them at the moment.] Anyway, in the 1860 census, Rev. JOHN DUBOIS, his wife LOUISA WILLIAMS DUBOIS, son JOSEPH CORNELIUS [now age 29], daughters SARAH ELIZABETH JANE DUBOIS [age 21] and JUDITH ANN DUBOIS [age 27] are all missing from Alabama. These latter two daughters did not marry until 1866 and 1868. Now, one might think the census taker had just maybe missed them. Yet, the DUBOIS family business partners, overseer and some of their slaves still show up in the family home in Greensboro, AL in the census. Where is the family?? [I can account for four other of Rev. John's children in Texas and Alabama. And three of them served in the CSA, but cannot find any records of any sort for JOSEPH CORNELIUS DUBOIS from mid 1850s to mid 1860s. Draft dodging in Europe, maybe?] REV. JOHN DUBOIS was a cotton gin maker as well as Methodist local preacher who had business connections in SC; he was a Charleston native with two sisters who had remained in SC when he moved to AL. He also had business connections in the north. My cousin duly notes that Rev. JOHN would be jumping from the frying pan into the fire if he were trying to flee the pending trouble between the states by going to Charleston, and she would be right. Yet, I have to ask--does anyone find any of these DUBOIS in Charleston directories in the 1850s or 1860s? They re-appear in Alabama shortly after the war. Any help appreciated... Elizabeth DuBois Russo

Hi Bill, Do you think if I wrote to St. Andrews Parish that they would send me any records?. I remember hearing that there were Haigs burried there. This could easily be my family.I do know that there was a George Haig ,the grandfather of Alex Richie Haig had owned lots of land in SC. Sorry to be taking up so much of your time. Betty
