Hi Jason, Is it possible that this John Timmons is from the Irish Timmons line that is not in my TIMMONS line. The Irish line starts in SC with George Timmons son of Richard Timmons. Thomas, Richard and George (born in Ireland to a Quaker family), residing in St. Bartholomews Parish, Colleton County in the 1730's. By the way, do you have info on the TIMMONS buried behind St. Michaels in Charleston (George, William, Ann, and Isa??). Happy Heritage says that my TIMMONS line came from John TIMMINS who was a member of the Huguenot Church in Pons France. I have searched the register that exists ( 1648-1680) and haven't seen such a person, but he could have joined after 1680. The nearest I can find is Jean (French for John) SIMON/TIMON?, it looks like SIMON, but might be TIMON, father of Suzanne SIMON/TIMON who was baptised on 10 Dec 1665 at the age of 6. His occupation is listed as Marechal (translates to Marshall), which could any of several meanings. IF this is my ancestor (which I doubt), then it would be the father of the John TIMMINS mentioned in Happy Heritage. I doubt the TIMMINS spelling. What I do find in the area of Pons is a very few families with the name TIMON. I can see TIMON -> TIMONS -> TIMMONS in the same way that SIMON -> SIMONS -> SIMMONS was anglicized.
