Carolina Hugenots

Erica:
I haven't had a chance yet to really dig into the plantation documentation that may exist in the Charleston area. We did briefly stop by the Hugenot Society in Charleston, which did have a good amount of information on Lesesne descendants generally, but not much about the original plantation.

We also visited the Hugenot church in Charleston, which is quite lovely. One of my relatives has a plaque on the wall, and several are buried in the graveyard.

That must have been magical, Stephen. It's not often you can touch history like that.

The plantation records (if they exist) may be in surprising places - university archives? But a good local librarian should be able to help track them down.
