In his Last Will and Testament and Codicil, John left to his wife, Marie/Margaret, the home on the plantation, a pew in the Pon Pon Chapel, one Negro named Quamine, two horses, one Horse Chair, and an equal part of the personal estate during her widowhood or until her death. To son, John was left two Negroes named Jackey and Fortune, fifty pounds currency, and in the Codicil, two lots in Dorchester Town. To son, Thomas was left the plantation. Thomas was directed to pay to his sister, Mary, one thousand pounds within one year after her marriage. John's daughter, Ann Sanders was bequeathed one "Negroe" Wench named Lucy and her children, Abram, Tom and Lyda, to be delivered to Ann upon the death of his wife. The granddaughters, Elizabeth and Ann Sanders were bequeathed a mulatto girl, Myrtille, and, a "Negroe" girl, Patty, respectively. Marie/Margaret Roberts, Joseph Sanders and Thomas Roberts were named Executrix and Executors of the Estate, respectively. It appears odd there was no mention of the son, Abraham, in the will although it was reported that when Abraham left home he was given a sum of money, possibly gold, some property prior to his father's death, and a leather, iron-bound trunk. As he was the youngest son, the trunk was supposed to have been handed down to the youngest son in the later generations. It has also been written that John and Marie wanted Abraham to marry a cousin, possibly Madelaine Robert (b. Sept. 23, 1719), daughter of Pierre Robert, Jr. and his second wife, Judith Videaul/de Bourdeaux. When it was learned that she loved Archibald Hamilton, whom she subsequently married, Abraham moved on so that she could marry the man of her choice.

"John" is the English version of Jean.

He was a member of Pon Pon Chapel on the Pon Pon River in Colleton Co, SC. His religion was French Huguenot. He left a will located in the SC Archives : Charleston Wills, Vol. 8, pp 435-436. His known children are: Thomas, Ann, John, Mary and Abraham. His probable children are: Owen, Mariah and Eli.

The French Santee were in Berkley County in a town called Jamestown. Jamestown is known for its rich heritage as the first French Huguenot settlement on the Santee River beginning in 1685. Jamestown has enjoyed a colorful history. The town was established in 1705 several miles down river from its present location. The area now known as Jamestown was not incorporated until 1957. The town hall is located on S.C. Hwy. 41 in Jamestown. The French Huguenots were a peaceful, industrious people, serving God faithfully in a wilderness. They gained wealth by marketing indigo, rice and naval stores (turpentine and pitch). The region around the Jamestown settlement became what was known as French Santee. None of the original 13 colonies received a stronger infusion of Huguenot blood, faith and valor than South Carolina.
