    1. [SCCHARLE] St. Phillips Street/King Street Block Party
    2. PATRICIA Thank you for the info re sw cor King and Queen Street- shop of Thomas Sigwald, cabinet-maker, 1806. I thought must be modern building since no photo in the King Street tour. Re St. John's Lutheran Church in Charleston. They have a wonderful History Committee - I would highly recommend to anyone on list researching German - speaking immigrants in the early Colonial era. When I first contacted the church several years ago, regarding my paternal gggrandfather (John Christian Sigwald) they provided the names of his father (Thomas Sigwald, the cabinet maker) and his grandfather (Christian Sigwald, the original immigrant from Alsace, France arriving Charleston about 1750). Thomas and Christian were apparently buried in unmarked graves in the Churchyard. . Thomas' widow was the Mary Ann Sigwald who lived at 6 Burns Lane (later called 10 Burns Lane ) for thirty years. From 1835 per City Directory until her death in 1865. At one time her oldest son lived on Boundary (Calhoun) Street - wonder if the back yards joined. Perhaps Burns Lane was ALWAYS a narrow street or alley. Interesting that other property on Burns Lane was owned by the Horlbecks (possibly fellow German Lutherans?) PATRICIA THANKS AGAIN Mary Alice
