Frederica Read the excellent book "Slaves in the Family" by Edward BALL written a few years ago to get the entire BALL family history back to England. GENDRON is a Charleston Huguenot family with lots of history. Visit the SC Huguenot Society on Logan Street in Charleston. I saw the name Edward HYRNE in the new book "Medway", by Virginia Christian Beach, written last year. He occupied Medway Plantation near Charleston from 1701 to 1711, but never paid for it so it reverted to Landgrave Thomas SMITH.
