I finally got the booklet "Huguenots of the South". Thanks, it was misspelled but even when I corrected it, it would not come up. Finally realized I had a portion of it in Favorites and brought it up with that. For any who need the address (and I had several requests) here it is: aker.genealogy./com/users/s/i/m/John J. Simons-iii/index.html. If you have a problem, let me know and I will try again to forward it to some of you. Kit

This could be Brunswick Ga., below Savannah which is also on the coast and has barrier islands where a lighthouse could have been located.

Thanks Edward! No wonder I couldn't get anything out of Google.com! I knew better...just wasn't paying attention. Arlene

Please forgive me for being "corrective", ( I am very aware that typos tend to multiply ) but anyone having trouble using a search engine to hunt for "Hugenot" relatives might have more success changing the word to "Huguenot". This is not intended as a criticism, but only to point out a possible source of a problem. Edward

Gale: Hugenouts were French Calvinists, who arose shortly after the Reformation in Geneva. If you're Protestant, you believe that the French king persecuted them terribly - to include the St. Bartholemews Day Massacre - ultimately leading to an exodus of many of them from France. (If you're Catholic - which I am - you're supposed to believe that they were antisocial troublemakers who brought their troubles on themselves). As a group, they were a very industrious group. One of the venues of their exile was South Carolina (another was Germany, where their descendents became some of the leading industrial, commercial, and even military families - Krupps, etc. - on a more somber note, Hermann Goering was of Hugenot extraction.) After the French Revolution, when freedom of religion was established, Hugenouts came out of hiding in France and became a small, but very successful, group in French commerce. The influence of the South Carolina Hugenouts is best shown in the fact that the original constitution of South Carolina was written by the French philosopher Montaisque, whose thinking also guided the writers of the U.S. Constitution. Much of Mantaisque's constitution survives to this day in the South Carolina Constitution. Most Hugenout congregations ultimately joined up with the Presbyterians, who (at least historically) are also Calvinistic. There are, at most, only two Hugenout congregations in the US - one in New York and one in Charleston - and the New York one is more of a historical society than an active, witnessing congregation. For more interesting Hugenout stuff, you might look up - in French history - Henry of Navarre and the period of Cardinal Richelieu. Roger Lucheta My bod' may be on Johnston Island, but my heart's in Pickens County.

I would also be interested in the booklet on Hugenots of the South. thanks, Libby ============================== >

Thomas "Frank" NIELSON died 9 Sep 1927 in "Brunswick" No state, county, or other info was given in the cemetery or burial records in Charleston, SC; not even cause of death. He was a Capt. with the Lightship/Lighthouse Service which is now the Coast Guard. And I assume he died while on duty along the coastline of NC/SC/GA. His father Antoni NIELSON also served as a Capt. in the Lightship/Lighthouse Service. Anyone with "Brunswick" connections... tap me a line. Janet Nielson Jilote

Has anyone had to look for info concerning Merchant Ships? I have Anton NEILSON arriving in Phil, PA on 10 Sep 1854 (age 13 yrs), Stevedore; place of birth: Selvig, Norway. ((Declaration of Intention)) Anton remained as a seaman until 1875 when he gained his Citizenship in Charleston, SC. He was later a Capt. in the Lightship/Lighthouse Service of Charleston. So, what I am looking for is hope from anyone that has had to search shipping records for ancestors. Since he did not enter the US as a "regular" passenger it would be great to find what shipping line he worked for and I'm certain it must have been for one that was Norweigian or atleast went there. ((reminds me of an old movie I saw)) Always Searching, Janet Nielson Jilote Chas, SC

Frances, Interesting note on TALLY and being Indian. My g-gdft John Henry SHOKES was marred to Matilda HARRISON who was part Native American. I've had a difficult time tracing her roots. But her family seems to come from the Colleton Co area where a small band of Native Americans lived along the Edistio River. Another name that ties into my lines is PENDARVIS which also has mixed blood. Possibilities for my Wm Talley Shokes Jones counld be adoption. There was one SHOKES family in the Summerville area that lost many of the members during a New Years Eve fire (in the 1800s - going by memory). And it's not all that unusual for a person to have more than one middle name. Will have to do more research on TALLEY/TALLY. Thanks for responding, Janet Nielson Jilote Chas, SC PS: don't be so quick to discard a McCOWN and McKEWAN connection. I've seen it all too often... people boast, "We've always spelled our name that way!" Your family may have, but record keepers may not have. I'm sure you've investigated McCOWANs, right?

Would this be the same family that spell their name M-a-s-o-n? My great grandfather's mother was a Mason - Theodocia Emmaline Mason married Archelaus Thompson Moore 12-19-1858. They had a son Joseph Eli Moore, my grandfather who married Lou Ella Woodall. All from Oconee County, SC. That is the extent of my knowledge of this couple and family. Do they fit into your line?
