Amazon.com lists this book as 29.95, available through special order. What it does not say is what is covered in the book. I'd like to know how much info it has about places before their glory days--before the American Revolution, for example. So many of these places changed hands enough that by the Civil War a places called The Smith Plantation could have been a combination of The Jones Plantation, the Brown Plantation, and a bit of the White Plantation, too. Bill, would you mind a couple of lookups? 1. The Brabant Plantation. I believe that in its earliest European settler permutations it had lands owned by Francis Pagett, Lewis Juin, Walter Dallas, and Bishop Robert Smith. All of these folks married DUBOIS' directly or their descendants, and I have a hunch these lands were close to, or contained some of my JOHN DUBOIS' original lands. Does your book go into this? 2. The Annals of St. Thomas/St. Denis book spoken of previously has burials for some of the DUBOIS descendants as being on "Jaudon's Plantation." No one seems to know exactly where that was. My theory coincides with a very brief Huguenot Transactions mention that this "plantation" was a part of PAGETT/PADGETT/PAGET lands. Which might make it a part of the Brabant Plantation. Any mention of the "Jaudon Plantation" in your book? If I can trace DuBois lands to either, I can FINALLY go to a place an ancestor really was. And quit bugging everyone, for crying out loud... Oh, perish that thought. :>] Elizabeth Bill wrote: > > Elizabeth, > > It is amazing how many books can be purchased through Amazon.com at discounted prices. A neighbor of mine who recently went to Charleston turned me on to "Plantations of the Low Country" by Agnus Baldwin (no relation) which contains information about many plantations around Charleston from 1697 - 1845. Ironically the book contains some important references to my research on the HUME family.
