I realize now where I've seen the AXSON name recently: in connection with Pompion Hill Chapel. My favorite Berkeley County book, "Historic Ramblins in Berkeley County" contains info on this Chapel, and is quoted on this web page: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3207/Pom.htm A picture of the chapel is included, along with several familiar names in St. Thomas/St. Denis Parish of the early days. I will be there with any luck at all in fourteen days, and twenty-something hours... :>] For those who haven't yet heard me extol the wonders of this book, it is written by J. Russell Cross for the Berkeley County Historical Society; all sales revenue goes to them and not Mr. Cross. I am not yet a member, and have nothing to do with the sales of this book; I am just a huge fan.

He worked on the construction of Pompion Hill Chapel which was built on a bluff above the east branch of the Cooper River in St. Thomas & St. Dennis parish. AXSON signed is name in the brickwork. > > ==== SCCHARLE Mailing List ==== > Lots of holdings on Charleston County Families > South Carolina Historical Society > http://www.schistory.org
