Anne, several of the old plats are safely stored in the South Carolina Historical Society in the Fireproof building in Charleston. You might try them and see if they have a plat for the original grant. Also they may have LaRoche family information. Deborah Byrd PeoplePC Online A better way to Internet http://www.peoplepc.com

Anne, I so wanted to help you keep that dock off the marsh but I can find nothing that indicates the land was first granted to James LaRoche. In fact, I have a couple of entries that indicate he purchased an original grant from the first grantee. James seems to have been the first of your South Carolina ancestors. His Will was probated in 1721 in Charleston but I don't have a full copy of it. I believe that he had two sons, James and John (plus a daughter Mary). John's Will was probated in Charleston in 1724 and names sons Thomas and Daniel and daughters Mary (Fossaine), Elizabeth, Susanna (John Man), Anne, and Judith (Lewis). All lived in Charleston or Prince George Winyaw Parish. Thomas's Will was probated in Prince George Winyaw Parish dated 1743 and mentions "use of land where I live between the creek and Mr. Gordons line for her life. Mentions: plantation house "kept in as gentle a manner as I now live" for use of said mother-in-law, widowed sisters and maiden sisters.: From # 158 Volume 1 Book A, p. 231 4 Mar. 1720/21 Mortgage RICHARD (his mark) FLOYD, planter, of Colleton Co., SC, to ANTHONY MATTHEWS, JOHN LEROCHE & FRANCES HOLMES, JR., merchants, of Charleston, in penal sum of £875 current SC money conditioned for payment of £437, 7 shillings on 25 Mar. 1722, and for security conveyed 600 a. in Colleton Co. (grant dated 23 July 1711 signed by THE HON. ROBERT GIBBES, ESQ. late Gov. and the Lords Proprs.): NE on Ambrose Hill; SE on vacant land; SW on MICHAEL RENOLDS; NW on marsh land. Witnesses: THOMAS BARTON; WILLIAM BILLING. Note: Anthony Matthews witnessed the Will of John LaRoche Book I, p. 505 18 Jan. 1720/1 Deed of Sale HENRY SHERIFFE, cooper, & MARTHA his wife, of Colleton Co., to BENJAMIN DENNIS, schoolmaster, of Charleston, for £380 currency, 386 a. (Part of 500 a.) on the SW side of the creek dividing the clear land from the other. Whereas his Excellency JOHN Lord Granville, Palatine, & the Lords Proprs. under the hand of Sir NATHANIEL JOHNSON, Knight, Gov., etc., on 14 Mar. 1704/5 granted WILLIAM GREENE 500 a., English measure, in Colleton Co., bounding E on Bohicket Creek & other ways; & whereas WILLIAM GREENE on 12 Jan. 1712/13 for £10 sold the 500 a. to JAMES LEROCHE, SR. & he on 7 May 1719, conveyed the land to JAMES LEROCHE, JR., who conveyed it on 14 Dec. 1719 to HENRY SHERIFFE; now SHERIFFE conveys part (386 a.) to DENNIS.

I thought you were in SC. The grant is to a piece of property known as Brick House Plantation on Wadmalaw Island, SC. It is situated on Church Creek which was known then as Wadmalaw River. The land has been subdivided through the years, and I now own about 12 acres. I currently have a plat which deeds me the marsh.Now someone with a 1 acre piece of land ( the former gave away land!!) wants to build a dock over MY (or at least I think of it that way) marsh. I would like to claim the marsh since his plat excludes the marsh, but the state of SC will not acknowledge ownership of the marsh unless you have a King's grant or Proprietary grant. I was just wondering if LaRoche researchers had come across any such reference. I have hit a brick wall ....they say that the volumes that would have contained this grant burned. But....there may or may not be true. We are not POSITIVE that the grant went to the LaRoche family, but we believe it did. They were in SC so early. Thanks for any help you can give me or tell me where to look. I see you have left me a link. Thanks, Anne Epting
