Elizabeth - You won't believe this one. I can tell you where John Jaudon's plantation was .... sort of. You see, my ancestor, Oswell Eve, sold land to John Jaudon and I have copies of the deeds. (This is a different Oswell Eve (likely a grandson) from the one I mentioned to you in an earlier e-mail message). So, where is this John Jaudon land? Well, it's the same land I referenced as bordering Glebe land. Here is the citation: Release and conveyance in fee simple from Oswell Eve, esq. to John Jaudon. Book 0-7, pp 211-212. Charleston Co, SC Deed Book. 16 March 1805. Oswell Eve, formerly of the parish of St. Thomas and Saint Denis in the state of SC, but now of the State of GA, Esq, for the sum of 841 pounds thirteen shillings and four pence paid or secured to be paid by John Jaudon of the parish of Saint John's Berkeley County in state of SC. grant, bargain, sell.... all that plantation or tract of land represented by the plat hereunto annexed containing 966 acres and 4/10 of an acre and butted and known by the name MIddleton (no, this is not THE MIddleton on the Ashley River) in the parish of St. Thomas and St. Denis. The northeast boundary land is Mr. Bourdesseaux, partly on land of Mr. Gordon and partly on land of Mr. Guerin;. North bounds on the Glebe land, partly on land of Mr. Bocket/Becket and partly on land of the late Rev. D. Smith. To the Southwest on land of John Syme and Southeast on land formerly of Brian Cape. Signed 16 Mar 1805 by John Jaudon. Witness; John S. Adams (probably John Strong Adams, son in law of Oswell Eve) and William Adams. Mortage overwritten by John S. Adams as agent for Oswell Eve on 6 Nov. 1810 (Note: several of these names are very hard to read on a poor microfilm copy, so look for spelling options) I think I have a plat copy of this around here somewhere and if I can put my hands on it, I"ll scan it and e-mail it to you. Now, obviously, Jaudon also likely owned land in St. John's Berkeley County (not the same Berkeley county that you will find today) Pat I'm not sure if this helps or not, but at least we know the Glebe land was on the north of it. I think this is the same piece of land that Oswell Eve got from John (through his father Stephen) Miller which at that time was called Hampton Plantation (No, not THE Hampton Plantation of Georgetown fame).That deed only said the 'land known as Hampton Plantation' and was smaller than the 966 acres OE sold to John Jaudon, but he might have added some in the intervening 30 years. And no, this is not an April Fool's joke. ----- Original Message ----- From: Elizabeth Russo <elizabethrusso@home.com> To: <SCCHARLE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2000 11:50 AM Subject: Re: [SCCHARLE] City books > Amazon.com lists this book as 29.95, available through special order. > What it does not say is what is covered in the book.

Pat, the land I'm looking for would probably have been in the hands of Frances [Jaudon?] Juin Pagett when she married Francis Pagett around 1700, or more than 100 years prior to the date you have. At the very least, the lands known as "Pagetts Old Field" and "Jaudon's Plantation" were known as such by 1763 when JOHN DUBOIS, who married SARAH JANE MOUZON on 16 Nov. 1758 was buried there. His brother JAMES DUBOIS, who married HESTER [ESTHER] GUERIN 11 Dec. 1760 was buried there 25 January 1772. So, we'd need to know if the land you speak of was in JAUDON or PAGETT hands between 1700 and 1772. Let me know if the plat map shows anything promising.
