I think my MAYRANTs and my husband's DuBois lived across the French Santee from one another; I want to know what secondary sources are "out there" RE/French Santee River. DOLLY GAMBRELL<[email protected]> Cynthia Ridgeway Parker writes"The earliest of my forbearers to come to South Carolina were my French Huguenot ancestors. My DuBose ancestors settled along the Santee River in an area dubbed "French Santee," now in Berkeley County, in about 1685. They were naturalized as English citizens in 1695/1696. An act of that year gave Huguenots and "other aliens, expect Papists" the rights of English citizens. Eventually, my DuBose ancestors moved inland up the Santee River to settle in what would become, Clarendon County."
