Could anyone tell me if there might be a Hymes family living in Charleston in 1850. The family should have a son Henry, a son Hyam and a daughter Rebecca. The names of parents are unknown. As you might guess, the family was Jewish. Was there a Jewish 'section' in Charleston? Thanks so much! Edie in Atlanta
