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.

Bill, thank you so very much for all the work you've been doing. I know too well about that balancing act, and appreciate so very much your lookups. Don't burn out on us; "just say no" once in a while to pushy people like myself. The closest place to me in CT where I've seen the directories has been Washington, DC so I'm especially grateful for your lookups--although, I think someone has pointed out that these directories are available on microfilm.
