The notes that follow document various individuals named Du GuŽ, DuguŽ, Dugue, and Duque who have been recorded in the Charleston, SC, and Kingston, Jamaica, areas by 1750. There is substantial evidence that most constitute a single family. The DuguŽs were Huguenots, and are documented in the St. Julien and Gaillard lists.
Research on this family has produced documentation of a family history with an unusual twist. Normally the women of a family are the most difficult to trace. In this case, the women of the DuguŽ family married individuals who were prominent in South Carolina, and their descendants have been amply documented for many years. In contrast, the two sons of Jacques DuguŽ who survived to have sons of their own, Pierre (Peter) and Isaac, lived for many years in Jamaica, where they seem to have encountered serious difficulties, especially in the catastrophic year 1722. When sons of Isaac and perhaps Peter as well returned to South Carolina, shortly after the death of Isaac Dugue, most of them (but not all) did so under the spelling Duke rather than Dugue.
There are a few individuals identified as ÒDukeÓ in the early South Carolina lowcountry who are hard to place. They might or might not be from the DuguŽ family. However, for at least five individuals (Joseph Duke of Orangeburg, James Dugue of Charleston, Thomas Goodman Duke of St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish, William Duke of Christ Church Parish, and Benjamin Duke of Prince Frederick Parish) the evidence is strong. One author has been found who had already recognized that the early Duke family of South Carolina was of Huguenot descent, in an inventory of South Carolina grants to Huguenots.[1]
The following summary documents the early years of this family, beginning with a review of existing published summaries and continuing with new research in primary documents. Continuing associations between the DuguŽs (under their various spellings) and other families from the Charleston area are important in tracing the continuity in this family as they spread out in the 1730Õs through 1750Õs.

Etienne on the Indres River.
Several very brief
summaries of the DuguŽ family history in South Carolina have been published.
The DuguŽ family and its connections are discussed by St. Julien Childs in his history of the Petit-GuŽrard Colony, which immigrated in 1679/80.[3] Childs reports that Jacques DuguŽ and his families emigrated later, in 1685, but were associated with the Fleury family in the earlier Petit-GuŽrard group. Jacques DuguŽ first married Judith Soupzmain, Soubmain, or Soumin, and second Elizabeth de Puy. His son, James, married Marianne Fleury de la Plaine, born in Paris and daughter of Abraham Fleury de la Plaine. They were among the settlers on the Richmond. By 17 Jan 1695/96 Marianne DuguŽ was a widow with one child born in South Carolina, Jacques DuguŽ II having died. She remarried to Peter Bacot, and her daughter Marianne married Tobias Fitch.
A 1953 article by the Rev. Paul Trapier expands upon and clarifies some of these relationships.[4] According to Trapier, Jacques DuguŽ escaped to England by 17 Apr 1685, when he purchased 500 acres of land in South Carolina. He was there at his land on New Town (Newtown) Creek in the same year. His wife, Elizabeth Du Puy DuguŽ, is said to have been a fugitive and was concealed in a hogshead marked ÒPoterieÓ and then conveyed on board the vessel in which she reached America. Trapier identifies the oldest children – Jacques (who predeceased him), Judith, and Marie, as childen of DuguŽÕs first wife, Judith Soumin. The others – Pierre, Isaac, and Elizabeth – he identifies as children of Elizabeth Du Puy DuguŽ. Trapier confirms that Elizabeth married Paul Trapier, Judith married Samuel DuBourdieu, and Mary married James Du Bosc (Dubose). The five oldest children were born in BŽsance in Berri, France.
Excerpts from Rev. TrapierÕs diary indicate that Paul Trapier, son of Paul Trapier and Elizabeth DuguŽ, married Magdalen Horry. Their son Paul married Elizabeth Foissin.[5]
Gourdin gives another brief survey of the DuguŽ family in her history of the Chardon family.[6] She states that Jacques DuguŽÕs first land was on James Island, but he was soon acquiring town lots in Charleston. He paid for a 500-acre tract on the northwest side of New Town Creek on James Island on 31 Mar 1683, but the warrant is dated 14 Apr 1685. Gourdin proposes that Judith Soumin was the mother of Judith and probably of Jacques, Jr., and Marie, while Elizabeth Dupuy was the mother of Pierre, Isaac and Elizabeth. She also states that his son James may have gone to Goose Creek after marrying Marianne Fleury (but see the later discussion of questions about James DuguŽ of Goose Creek). A James DuguŽ witnessed the will of Anthoine Prudhomme, dated July 1695, along with ÒPrioleau, de la Plaine, Boisseau, I. Fleury, EliŽ Horry, and Porcher.Ó She notes that his daughter Marianne married Pierre Bacot Jr., of Goose Creek.
Gourdin observes that ÒSome are unhappy about not finding the two Jacques DuguŽs in the St. Julien Liste,Ó which is a list of ŽmigrŽs recorded as requesting naturalization about 1694 or 1695 or 1696. She states that by 1696 the two Jacques DuguŽs had Òsailed here, settled here, been buried here, and no longer cared about this worldÕs laws.Ó She discusses the well-documented settlement of the Jacques DuguŽ I estate and its record of the disposition of his Charleston town lots as evidence of the children of Jacques DuguŽ Sr. She also indicates that Isaac and Peter were Òlater shipwrights in Jamaica.Ó No citation is provided for this information, but recent research in Jamaican parish registers has now established the outlines of the history of the family there as well.
DuguŽ appears in some records as Jacques and in some as the Anglicized version, James.
The family of Jacques DuguŽ appears in the records of lÕEglise de Threadneedle Street, London, where they presented their tŽmoignages, or certificates verifying that they were genuine Huguenots, with the names of the congregation or individual from whom the tŽmoignage came. The DuguŽ entries are as follows:[7]
á Du Gue, Jean. T. Charenton, 4 Feb 1782
á Jaques. T. Mr Amonnet, 5 Sep 1683
á Jaques: sa fem.: Jaques, son fils, & Judith Soumin. T. Wansworth. 26 Nov 1684.
The Jean DuguŽ above is not known to have traveled to South Carolina, but Jacques and his son Jacques were in South Carolina by 1685. The Threadneedle St. record indicates that Judith Soumin was the mother of the oldest boy, Jacques, Jr. ÒSa femÓ at this time was presumably Elizabeth Dupuy DuguŽ.
It was recorded that Ò . . . On April 14, 1685, James Dugue bought 500 acres in London for £25.38 A day later Isaac Lejay and Magdalen Fleury (alias Lejay) his wife, bought 500 acres, at the same price.Ó[8] (By 1757 a portion of this property was sold by Thomas Rivers, Jr. of St. Andrews Parish to George Sheed, after passing through several conveyances since the original grant to Jacques DuguŽ.[9])
The Newtown Creek, James Island, property was to remain at least partially in DuguŽ family hands through at least 1733. Some of the Newtown Creek landowners are especially significant in Dugue/Duke history, are documented in this summary and in the file of ÒAssociated Families, Charleston.Ó Briefly, they include the Davis, Tucker, Ash, Maverick, and Hearn families. All of these families were closely associated with the DuguŽ and Duke families in the Charleston area and in Orangeburg.
On 15 Oct 1686 ____ Dugue swore allegiance to King James.[10] Others who swore allegiance on the same day were Jod. Oldys, William Popell, ____ Bacon, and Anthoin Poilivint.
In 1688 James DuguŽ purchased another 200 acres on Newtown Creek, James Island, to add to those acquired while he was in London:

Description: DUEQUE,
JAMES SR., ABSTRACT OF LAND GRANT FOR 1 TOWN LOT IN CHARLES TOWN.
The town lots granted to the DuguŽ family according to SmithÕs article on the earliest settlers of Charleston were: [11]
No. 98 James Dugue 13 Mar 1693/4
No. 165 Isaac Dugue 28 Mar 1694
No. 186 I. Dugue 25 Mar 1694
Since both lots #165 and #186 were included in the settlement of the estate of Jacques DuguŽ I, it is clear that it is the SCDAH record that is correct with respect to the original grants. However, the list was made in 1725, and it is possible that lots 165 and 186 had been transferred to Isaac Dugue by that time, although both lots had been inherited by Peter Dugue in 1696.
James Dugue was also granted Charleston Lot #93 in Mar 1693/4, according to Hicks.[12] The SCHM Charleston lot list shows #92 and #93 on 14 Nov 1701 as the French Church (Charleston Deed AA:317).[13] The lots were given to Henry LeNoble and Peter Burtell, bounding west on King St., in 1701 for the use of the French Protestants. Hicks goes on to trace both lots as having been bequeathed in the will of Henry LeNoble in 1715 to his wife, who in turn bequeathed equally to her daughters Susannah Ravenel and Catherine LeNoble Taylor in 1725. The current French Church is located at 44 Church St., across from the Dock St. Theater.
Hicks also indicates that Lot #165 was granted to Jacques Dugue and Alexander T. Chastagner in 1694. It was inherited by Peter DuguŽ in 1696. Hicks indicates that #165 was bequeathed by Peter Buretell in his 1701 will.[14] This property was allotted to Nathaniel and Charlotte Henrietta Broughton through his estate. Adjacent lot #166 was bequeathed by Peter Burtell by will 1701 to Paul and Catherine Mazyck. Lot #167 belonged to Charlotte Henrietta Broughton as granddaughter of Peter Burtell in his 1701 will. It was sold by Thomas Broughton in 1747. Hicks may be confusing #165 with #93, which was granted for the benefit of the French church but became part of BurtellÕs estate.
There seem to have been several occasions on which oaths of allegiance were signed. Among those signing the oath of allegiance on 6 Oct 1685 were J. DuguŽ, P. Bacot, and Anthony Poitevin.[15] Chardon observes that some records give a date of 1686 for this. PotevinÕs daughters married the Snows, one of them marring John Snow whose will Thomas Goodman Duke witnessed.
On 20 Jan 1688 a DuguŽ, presumably Jacques, and four others swore allegiance to the English government and the Lords Proprietors and their colonial government.[16] Others listed on the same day include ÒJos. OldysÓ of Connecticut, whose daughter Margaret married Isaac Brunson, Sr., uncle of Jacob Brunson, who was the first husband of Barbara Fuster Brunson Lammons Dukes of Orangeburgh. ÒAnthoin PiolivintÓ also is listed. This is surely Anthony Poitevin. There was also ___ Bacon and William Popell. The same series of oath-takers includes several additional Huguenots over a period of several years, but most of those listed taking this oath at this time are of English origin.
In 1692 a DuguŽ,
possibly Jacques but possibly Samuel, was among those attempting to get
political rights for the Huguenots:[17]
The French, as far as we know, made no demonstrative fight for their rights before 1692-3 . . . In this their first significant effort to secure their rights they chose seven leading Huguenots to champion their cause and plead their case before the proprietors. They were the Rev. Francis Trouillard, Minister of the Charles Town Huguenot church, MM. Buretal, Serrurier and Couran, Elders in the same church and MM. DeVervant, DeLisle, Cramahâ and Duguâ prominent Huguenot business men and planters in and about Charles Town.
In 1694 James ÒDugayÓ
(whether the older or younger isnÕt known) had 10 pipes of wine consigned to
him on the Mary and Elizabeth, out of Madiera.[18] According to Wikipedia, a pipe of Madeira was
92 gallons or 348 liters, or about 2 hogsheads. (The unit varied by type of
wine.) Clearly James DuguŽ was a wine merchant.
In 1703 William Carlisle, tanner, recorded the various sales of a 100 acre grant originally made to John Ellis and later owned by James Dugue, merchant. The property is described as follows:[19]
ÒPart of a tract of 500 acres situate on S side Newtown Creek bounding N on said creek, S on land not laid out, E on land of Thomas Drayton, W on William Hatten which 100 acres was granted to John Ellis, planter, by Lords Proprs. As appears on grant dated 5 Oct. 1681, said land conveyed by Ellis to Peter and Mary Dumoulin, then conveyed to James Green and by said Green to Lydia Green his wife and by her sold to James Varin, by said Varin to Susan his wife and by her to Jacob Varin, his eldest son, by him to James Dugue, by Dugue to William Carlisle, all conveyances may appear by several deeds . . . Signed: Wm. Carlile, Wit: Joseph Elicott, Jno. Ward. D: 23 July 1703.
No record of the
purchase by Jacques DuguŽ has been found.
By the end of 1696 both
Jacques DuguŽ I and II were dead.
The provisions of the settlement of the estate of Jacques DuguŽ document his surviving family:[20]
October 27, 1696, Peter DuguŽ, son and sole executor of the last will and testament of James Dugue, Sr., deceased, Samuel DuBourdieu and Judith, his wife, James DuBose and Mary, his wife, and Marianna DuguŽ, widow and relict of James DuguŽ, Jr., on behalf of her daughter, Marianna DuguŽ, arranged a dvision of the property of James DuguŽ, Sr., reciting that the said James DuguŽ, Sr., by his will, made May 28, 1696, bequethed to his five children therein named and to his granddaughter, Marianna Dugue, all of his real and personal estate to be equally divided among them; that all of the said property that had come to the knowledge of said legatees had been divided into six parts, whereof Peter DuguŽ, in his own right and also as trustee in right of his brother, Isaac, and sister, Elizabeth; Samuel DuBourdien and James DuBose, in right of their wives, and Marianna DuguŽ, widow, in right of her daughter, Marianna DuguŽ, severally took their several parts of the same, Peter Dugue taking the plantation upon New Town Creek, JamesÕs Island, two town lots in Charles Town, numbered 165 and 186, a negro boy and £2.5.10 sterling; Peter taking for Isaac and Elizabeth part of a town lot in Charles Town, on Broad Street, which James DuguŽ purchased of James DeBourdeaux, blacksmith, together with the buildings thereon, and £4. 12. 4; James and Mary DuBose taking a negro man, a negro woman, a negro boy; James and Mary DuBose receiving the use of two lots in Charles Town, numbers 70 and 98, for two years and six months; then delivering possession of them up to Marianna DuguŽ for the use of her daughter, Marianna; Marianna DuguŽ taking for her daughter the use of lots in Charles Town for two years and six months, one of the lots being on Church Street, numbered 70, granted to Arthur Middleton, and having been purchased by James DuguŽ from Robert Skelton, cordwinder, the other granted to James DuguŽ, and numbered 98, the said lots to become the property, at the expiration of the time, of the younger Marianna DuguŽ; Samuel and Judith DuBordieu also to receive £54. 8 6 in goods of said estate. Witness: Antoine Couran, Isaac Callabeuf, Jonathon Amory and Anthony Cordes. Signature of Marianna DuguŽ witnessed by Boisseau, John Marriner and John Filbein. Proved before James Moore, November 9, 1696, and before James LeBas, January 22, 1696-7. Witness: Charles Odinsells, Dep. Sec. (Pages 286 and 247).
The Broad St. lot that was purchased from James DuBourdeaux was a subdivided part of Charleston Lot #28. The 500 acres in Berkeley County that was granted to James DuguŽ in 1692 does not appear here, but could have been transferred to one of the children before his death.
The following also details disposition of the estate[21]
Indenture: between Peter Dugue, son, sole exor. Of estate of James DuguŽ, Sr., dec., of 1st part and Samuel Du Bourdieu, Esq., and Judith his wife, James DuBose and Mary his wife and Marynna DuguŽ, widow and relict of James Dugue, Jr., on behalf of her dau. Marry Anna DuguŽ, on the other part. Whereas said James DuguŽ, Sr., the 28th of May 1696 made his will and did bequeath to his 5 children and his granddau. Mary Anna DuyGue, all his estate equally divided. And Whereas estate of said DuguŽ, Sr., has been valued at £403 18s 10 p by inventory as annexed, is divided into 7 parts where said Peter DuguŽ, on his right and as trustee in right of his brother Isaac and sister Elizabeth DuguŽ, Samuel Du Bourdieu and James DuBose in right of their wives and Maryanna DuguŽ, widow in right of her dau. Mary Anna DuguŽ, do acknowledge receipts and possession of signing these presents. Now this indenture witnesseth that Peter DuguŽ that the plantation lands and houses which belonged to his father on New Town Creek, James Island, 2 lots in Charles Town #165 and #186, 1 Negro boy, and for the use of his brother Isaac and sister Elizabeth DuguŽ purchased of James De Bourdeaux, blacksmith, with houses and buildings and £4 12s 4 p for their part of estate, and James and Mary DuBose shall keep 1 Negro man and woman, 1 boy valued at £70 and 2 town lots in Charles Town #70 and #98 for term of 2 years and 7 mos., and keeping houses and fences in good repair, and at expiration of said time deliver to Maryanna DuguŽ, widow, possession . . . p. 270
James Dugue Jr. emigrated with his family and married Marianne Fleury de la Plaine, daughter of Abraham Fleury de la Plaine of Goose Creek. She was born in Paris. JamesÕ estate settlement papers document his death before that of his father.
The listing of Abraham Fleury de la Plaine from the St. Julien List:
7. ABRAHAM FLEURY, De la Pleine, nŽ ˆ Tours, fils de Charles Fleury, et de Madeleine Soupzmain. Marianne Fleury, sa fille, veuve de Jacques DuguŽ, nŽe ˆ Paris, et Marianne DuguŽ, fille du dŽfunct Jacques DuguŽ, et du dit Marianne Fleury, nŽe en Caroline.
This family immigrated
with the Petit-GuŽrard Colony.[22] (The FaurŽ or Fouri family was also among the
settlers in this group, and is later associated with the Duke family of
Orangeburg County, SC.)
Iin 1692 James DuguŽ acquired land 500 acres of land at an unspecified location in Berkeley County:
Series: S213019 Volume - 0038 Page
- 00227 Item - 04
Date: 1692/03/31
Description: DUQUE, JAMES, LAND GRANT FOR 500 ACRES IN BERKLEY COUNTY.
This land may have been on James Island, which was in Berkeley County at this time. If the grant actually was made to James DuguŽ, Jr. rather than to his father, Goose Creek would have been especially likely, since it has been suggested that he lived there after his marriage to Marianne Fleury, and after his death his widow remarried to Peter Bacot of that community. [23]
In settling JamesÕ estate, John Lebert [Lebas] of Charles Towne, merchant, moved to be granted Letters of Admin. Of estate of James Dugue as principal creditor; Mrs. Dugay and James Dugue agreed 17 Jan 1696/7.[24]
Records show the following regarding the estate of James Dugue:[25]
January 18, 1695-6, John Lebas, Henry Le Noble and Peter Guerard executed their bond to Governor Archdale for LebasÕs faithful performance of his trust as administrator of the estate of James Dugue, late of Charles Town, deceased. Witness: Charles Odingsells (Page 231).
Virginia Gourdin has suggested that Lebas (Lebert or LeBas) might have been a business partner of Jacques DuguŽ.[26] This is probably true. Aside from his role as administrator of the estate of Jacques DuguŽ, he witnessed legal documents while in Jamaica relating to the estate of Susanna Barker, suggesting that he too was involved in Jamaican trade.[27] (When lands opened up in Amelia Township in the 1730Õs, James Le Bas was among those acquiring grants, in close proximity to Peter FaurŽ, Joseph Barker, and others from Charleston and the surrounding area.)
Settlement of the estate of James DuguŽ Jr. involved dealing with the estate of James DuguŽ, Sr.:[28]
Judgment: that the said Mary Anna Du Gue, widow, for use of her sister [daughter] Mary Anna Du Gue by her husband James Du Gue, Jr., to keep in her possession the expiration of 2 years 7 mos. From date here of 2 town lots in Charles Towne in st. that leads from French Church to White Point, one of which #70 was purchased by James DuguŽ, Sr., from Robert Skelton, cordwainer, the other lot was granted to said Du Gue and known by #98, which 2 lots with buildings thereon belonging to Mary Anna DuguŽ, dau. Of said James Du Gue, Jr., is to hold her share of real estate, and her mother Mary Ann Du Gue, widow, paying to Samuel Du Bourdien £5 2s 10 p stg., and that the said Samuel and Judith Du Bourdien shall receive of said Du Bose £5 3s 10p stg., . . . . Estate of James Du Gue, Sr., as in aforementioned will, in witness whereof the parties have set their hands and seals. Signed, Jacques Dubose, Marie Dubose, S. Dubourdien, Judith Dubourdien, Mariane Dugue. Wit: Anthoine Louran, Isaac Caillabeuf, Johnathan Amory, Anthony Cordes. D: nd.
Memorandum: Mad. Mariane Dugue, widow, sealed and delivered the above indenture in presence of: - J. Boissean, John Maverick, John ffilbein.
Personally: appeared before me John Boissian, Mr. John Maverick and John Filbein and made oath they did see Mrs. Marianne Dugue sign. Wit: Jos. Moore. D: 9 Nov. 1696.
Personally: appeared before me James Lebass, one of his MajestyÕs Justices of Peace for Berkeley County, Anthony Bouran, Anthony Cordes and Isaac Cailabeuf and made oath that they did see Mrs. Judith Dubourdien, Mr. Samuel Dubourdien, James Dubose and Marie Dubose sign within act in Charles Towne. Wit: James Le Bars. D: 23 Nov. 1696. R: 22 Mar 1696/7. P. 231.
The witnesses above suggest where Marianne Dugue was when she signed the document. John Maverick, one of the witnesses of Mrs. DugueÕs signature, was one of the first settlers on Newtown Creek (site of Jacques DuguŽ's first grant). However, John Maverick also owned land at Goose Creek, below the confluence of the Cooper and the Back River, near Nathaniel SnowÕs Red Bank plantation.[29] (The Mavericks later reappear in the will of Joan Watkins Duke of Christ Church Parish, widow of William Duke.) In 1696 J. Boisseau owned property at the head of Yeamans Creek adjacent Abraham Fleury de la Plane, and had not yet received his much larger grant near Summerville.[30] John Filbein owned a tract south of Yeamans Hall.[31]
After his death the
widow of James Dugue II remarried, to Peter Bacot, Jr. The listing for the
Bacot family in the St. Julien List is as follows:
22. PIERRE BACOT, nŽ ˆ Tours, fils de Pierre Bacot et de Jeanne Moreau. Jacquine Mercier, sa femme. Pierre et Daniel Bacot, frres, leurs fils, nŽz en France, et ƒlizabeth Bacot, leur fille, nŽe en Caroline.
Bacot lived in the St.
James Goose Creek Parish, as did Abraham Fleury de la Plaine, father of
Marianne DuguŽ. His earliest acquisition there was part of the original
Boisseau tract and he also purchased land from Charles Franchomme.[32]
The will of Peter Bacot
of Berekeley County, SC, in the next generation (b. 15 Nov 1671 d. 1730,
Charleston), mentions his wife Mary [Perroneau] Bacot, sons Samuel and Peter,
daughters Mary and Elizabeth, friend Tobias Fitch, sister-in-law Elizabeth
Peronneau. He named Gideon Faucharode and Tobias Fitch executors and wife Mary
Bacot executrix Òduring her widowhood and no longer.Ó[33] Tobias Fitch married Marianne, daughter of
James Dugue II and Marianne Fleury de la Plane Dugue.
Marianne DuguŽ married Tobias Fitch (originally Fitz), who was from one of the early Quaker families that settled in the lowcountry, particularly in lower Colleton County. He was a son of Jonathan and Susanna Fitch, and was a member of the Assembly in 1726. Jonathan Fitch lived at Goose Creek but had very substantial land grants at Spoons Savannah,[34] This was also the location of substantial Pendarvis family land holdings; the Pendarvis family was later in Orangeburgh District.
Jonathan Fitch was involved in Indian affairs.[35] Jonathan Fitch and Thomas Rose of Accabee built the St. Andrews Parish church.[36] Tobias Fitch lived, owned his most extensive properties (at least some if which were inherited by his wife Marianne DuguŽ from her grandfather Abraham Fleury de la Plaine) in St. James, Goose Creek, where he was listed as petit and grand juror.[37]
The Colonial Writs of
Partition document that James Fitch married Ann Rose, daughter of that Thomas
Rose, and also show that the Fitch family owned land on the Ashley River
adjacent lands owned by the Pendarvis family, as they did at Spoons.[38]
In 1718/19 Tobias Fitch provided bond for the estate of Daniel Dean, along with estate administrator Nathaniel Snow, brother of John Snow whose will Thomas Goodman Duke of St. Thomas and St. Denis witnessed thirty years later.[39] James Dubose, husband of Marie Dugue, is also mentioned in an estate settlement with Nathaniel Snow.[40]
In July 1720 ÒTobias Fitch, planter, & Marianne, his wife, daughter of James Dugue, Jr.. & of Dame Marian Henry his wife & granddaughter of James Dugue, Sr.Ó sold to Andrew Dupuy of Charleston the southern half of Lot #70 in Charleston.[41]
This Andrew Dupuy may be related to the DuguŽs, through Elizabeth Dupuy DuguŽ. The will of AndrŽ Dupuy, dated 4 Jan 1721/2 and probated 11 Oct 1722, listed wife Jane as executrix. Also listed were a son, AndrŽ, and daughters Marianne and Esther. Witnesses were Pierre Manigault and Jean Delaune.[42] This son, AndrŽ, is probably the Andrew Dupuy to whom half of lot #70 was sold.
In 1721 Tobias Fitch had a town lot adjacent Peter Manigault, Richard Beresford (previously Jackson) and others.[43]
In 1722 Jonathan and Tobias Fitch were involved in several land transactions that were witnessed by Garratt Vanvelsin.[44] GuŽrard or Garrett Vanvelsin was a witness for the wedding of Robert Duke a little more than a decade later (see Assoc. Families, Charleston, file). In 1723 John Laurens witnessed a Tobias Fitch land transaction.[45]
In 1725 Tobias Fitch was Agent to the Creeks.[46]
The will of Susannah Fitch, widow of Jonathan Fitch, enumerates her grandchildren as Jonathan, Thomas and Steven, sons of Jonathan Fitch; Steven, Tobias, and John, sons of Tobias Fitch; Williamson, son of Joseph Fitch. Granddaughters were Susannah, daughter of Joseph Fitch; Mary and Ann, daughters of Tobias Fitch. Her daughters-in-law were Mary Ann Fitch and Constant Fitch. The executor of her estate was Roger Sanders [Saunders]. Witnesses were Thomas Smith Jr. and George Smith.[47]
Roger Saunders owned land at Wassamassaw but was an Indian trader rather than a planter. His bond was dated 24 Nov 1714. He was also executor for Thomas Smith, Jr.[48]
Mary Fitch, daughter of
Tobias and Marianne Fitch, married Thomas Livingston in 1747.[49]
The
Giessendanner Book of Record for the parish centered in Orangeburgh shows that
John Fitch married Ann Holmes 16 Jan 1748/49 in Orangeburgh County. William
Clement and Samuel Pickings were listed as witnesses (the best translation is
found in the Orangeburgh Book of Record at http://www.xs4all.nl/~sail/orange/17490116.html). SCDAH records show that a Clement family was
from St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish. The Mills Atlas of South Carolina of 1825
shows Clement family holdings near Willtown on the Edisto, and therefore near
the Fitch family lands at Spoons and near the Ash family lands.
One
candidate for Ann Holmes is a daughter of Isaac Holmes who was mentioned in the
will of her uncle William Holmes.[50] Isaac Holmes owned land adjacent John Simmons,
whose granddaughter Ann married James Vanvelsen.[51]Francis
Holmes was a Charleston merchant, and with Ebenezer Simmons was executor of the
will of Garret Vanvelsen.[52] William
Holmes was the son-in-law of Garret Vanvelsen. However, it is more likely that
the Holmes family in the New Windsor area was her origin; that family also
intermarried with the Zubly and Galphin families.
Tobias Fitch was an active businessman:

It is further documented that in 1738 Tobias Fitch owned land on Four Hole Swamp, Colleton County, near Capt. Goodbee and Gideon Dupont.[53] (Alexander Goodbe married Rebecca Hasfort, daughter of Joseph Hasfort.[54])
Tobias Fitch was
associated with the Tucker family, which was later at Cattle Creek in
Orangeburgh District with the family of Joseph Dukes. John Tucker witnessed a
land transaction between Jonathan and Tobias Fitch in 1715:[55]

Tobias Fitch is listed
in the South Carolina jury lists as a petit juror in St. PaulÕs Parish in 1720
and as a grand and petit juror in St. James Goose Creek in 1731.
Articles of marriage for Judith DuguŽ, daughter of Jacques DuguŽ, and Samuel Dubourdie, are as follows:[56]

Judith,
daughter of the DuBourdieus, married James Colleton.[57]
Part of the original
Newtown Creek, James Island, SC, grant to Jacques Du GuŽ was sold by Du GuŽ to
Samuel Dubourdieu in 1693 and subsequently sold by Dubourdieu to Richard
Peterson in 1703:[58]

In 1710 Judith
DuBourdieu acquired a grant of 240 acres in her own name in Berkeley County.[59] In 1735 Judith ÒDeaberduÓ had a plat surveyed
for 600 acres of land in St. HelenaÕs Parish, Granville County.[60] This was granted on 14 April 1736.[61] This property was in the hands of John Wragg in
1762.[62]
The DuBourdieu family
continued their concern for marriage contracts in the next generation:[63]
Book Ba, p. 29 29 July
1720. Judith Dubourdieu, widow, of Berkeley Co., SC, in consideration of
marriage contract between James Colleton and her daughtere Judith Dubourdieu
granted 1/3 part of land in her possession to James Colleton Òand also the

Yonge, Register, 19 Sept. 1720 6 Negroes delivered to James Colleton and Judith

Trapier.
Marie Dugue married James Dubose. He was the son of Andrea Dubose and Marie de Stoade.[64] This is the St. Julien List summary of some of the immigrants from this family:
72. ISAAC DUBOSC, fils de Louis Dubosc et d'Anne Dubosc, de Dieppe en Normandie, Susane Dubosc, sa femme, fille de Pierre Couillandeau, et de Susane Couillandeau, native de la Tramblade en Xaintonge.
By 1706 James Dubose
was dead, and Dr. John Thomas (Jean Thomas), a ÒchirugeonÓ became her second
husband.[65] (John Thomas was a witness to the will of
Joseph Pendarvis I.[66])
A daughter of James Dubose and Marie Dugue, Judith, married Joseph Wragg, to whom Peter Dugue gave power-of-attorney to collect debts in South Carolina in 1718.
The Wraggs and Job Rothmahler had a legal dispute with Jonathan Fitch regarding collection of a debt:

James
Dubose was owed money by Robert Wetherick of New England at the time of
WetherickÕs death in the house of surgeon Nathaniel Snow in September 1700.[67] Nathaniel Snow was the brother of John Snow,
whose will later was witnessed by Thomas Goodman Duke of St. Thomas and St.
Denis Parish. Both John and
Nathaniel Snow married Poitevans, thus linking themselves to the Huguenot community,
specifically to parts of it with connections to the Dugue family. On 20 Dec
1699 Anthony Poitvin, Lewis Pasquereau and James DuBose were bound for the
estate of James De Bourdeaux, administered by Anthony Poitvin.[68]
Joseph Wragg is also
mentioned as an adjacent landowner in a 1733 land title that refers to Peter
Dugue (see below in the discussion of Peter DuguŽ). Wragg acquired many land
grants throughout South Carolina, which are documented in the records of the
South Carolina Department of Archives and History.
In 1741 Joseph Wragg
and Richard Lambton sued John Hearn.[69] The cause appears to be a routine debt. Hearn
was from James Island, and was the earliest settler at Orangeburg Township,
arriving several years before establishment of the township as a Swiss
settlement.
The
children and grandchildren of this couple were:[70]
1. Marie (Mary), born in Carolina, and married Hon. Samuel Wragg.
Their children
were:
A. William Wragg (m. 1st. Mary Wood; m. 2nd. Henrietta).
B. Samuel Wragg.
C. Judith Wragg.
D. Mary Wragg.
2. Judith Dubose, m. 1717 Joseph Wragg. They lived in Charles Town,
where he was
a merchant. Her Will
is recorded in Will Bk. 1767-71, p. 388, Charleston, S. C.,
and mentions her
children who were:
A. John Wragg.
B. Joseph Wragg.
C. Samuel Wragg, married Judith
Rothmahler.
D. Judith Wragg, died 1783 unmarried.

3. Ann Dubose,
married Job Rothmahler, Esq. They lived in the Georgetown area.
Children were:
A. Job Rothmahler, married Esther Billing.
B. Erasmus
Rothmahler.
C. Mary Rothmahler,
married John Andrews.
D. Judith Rothmahler,
married Samuel Wragg.
E. Elizabeth
Rothmahler, married John Waties.
F. Ann Rothmahler,
died in Georgetown 1770, not married.
G. Charlotte
Rothmahler, M. Joseph Allston of Waccamaw.
Job Rothmahler had many
business interests with the Wraggs, some affecting the backcountry. In 1743 the
South Carolina Commons House of Assembly investigated reports of a silver mine
in Cherokee country, with the potential to disrupt the colonyÕs relations with
the tribes and with the French.[71] Thomas Murray testified that he had traveled
throughout the area in question with Mr. Rothmahler in search of mines. It was
determined that Childermas Croft was among the several parties involved in the
enterprise. Michael Christopher Rowe of Orangeburg testified that a public
advertisement had been posted in the township to solicit workers for the mine,
and that Òto the best of his recollection Mr. Wragg was to pay the money.Ó
Those responding were to meet Mr. Maxwell at Mrs. RussellÕs house. (The Audley Maxwell family had come
from the PA/VA border with Moses Russell and his family to settle in Amelia
Township.) Rowe testified that Bernard Snell was one of those involved in the
work, and that Peter Crim was overseer of the mine. The Council was unanimous
in condemning the enterprise as likely to enrich the individual participants at
great danger to the colony. The Wraggs and Rothmahler were also large-scale
slave traders. Many of CharlestonÕs historic mansions were built on foundations
like these.
Peter DuguŽ, son of Jacques DuguŽ and his first wife Judith Soumin, was documented in the St. Julien List of Huguenots seeking naturalization in South Carolina in about 1696:
15. PIERRE DUGUƒ, Isaac
Dugue, son frre, et ƒlizabeth DuguŽ, leur s¾ur, nŽz ˆ BŽsance en Bery, enfans
de Jacques DuguŽ et d'ƒlizabet Dupuy.
Peter Dugue was the second oldest son of Jacques DuguŽ, an adult in 1696 and administrator of his fatherÕs estate following the death of his older brother, James.[72] Since he was an adult in 1696, he was born no later than 1675. PeterÕs share of his fatherÕs estate was the plantation (Jacques DuguŽsÕ original 500 acre grant) on New Town Creek, JamesÕs Island, SC; two town lots in Charles Town, SC, numbered 165 and 186; a negro boy and £2.5.10 sterling.
Peter quickly moved to increase his land holdings in South Carolina. He had a warrant from the SecretaryÕs office for 500 acres in Berkeley County, dated 18 Sep 1697.[73]
ÒMr. DuqueÓ is found in the following record; related documents place the time as about 1695:[74]
Particulars: of goods and sums of money Mr. Girard has assigned to Mr. Edmund Medlicott for stock of £400 put in hands of said Girard to trade and merchandise within partnership. Mr. Edmond Dundon, Mrs. Dundon his wife, Mr. William Nowell, Mr. Noble, Mr. Duque and others, 1/8 part brigantine that Mr. Turquett and Mr. Marian are building. Mr. Medlicott, Mr. John Reeves, Capt. James Moore, Mr. Hatchman, Mr. Froman [Amounting to £400 7s 1 ½.]
This evidence of DuguŽ
involvement in CharlestonÕs lively shipping trade dates marks the beginning of
a multi-generational involvement in shipping. The individual listed is probably
Peter Dugue, although he could be Jacques DuguŽ I immediately before his death.
Isaac DuguŽ was a minor in 1696 and could not have been a member of this group
of ship owners.
Peter moved to Jamaica sometime during or before 1706. References to his family there are found primarily in the register of St. AndrewÕs Parish, Jamaica, which includes the town and port of Kingston.[75]

The name Struyse is
rare, but it is probably not a mistake. It is a Dutch name, spelled in the
Netherlands Struys, Struijs, and Struyse. Some of this family were famous
mariners. Van Meurs of Amsterdam published a German translation of Jan Janszoon
StruysÕ voyages in 1678.[76] Jan Struys was a middle-aged husband and father
when he left to serve the Czar in the late 1660s.[77]
His book was later published in English,[78] and is often cited, sometimes for peculiar
descriptions of natural phenomena. He also produced an especially good map of
the Caspian Sea. There are also references to Òvan der Struijs.Ó
The parish register
documents children Judith, Peter, Isaac, Dorothy, and James. The will of James
Dugue, son of Peter and Dorothy, documents another daughter of Peter Dugue,
Mary, who married Andrew Burnside of Jamaica. There are therefore at least six
children of Peter DuguŽ.
Walter ÒDugouÓ (listed
as Dugue in the register index) who died in St. Andrews in 1706 was possibly a
child of Peter DuguŽ. This suggests that Peter had married and had children
before his marriage to Dorothy Struyse in St. AndrewÕs Parish, Jamaica, in
1706. To have been an adult at the time that his father Jacques DuguŽÕs estate
was settled in 1696, Peter was at least 31 years old in 1706, and could easily
have married earlier and had children with a first wife; it is likely that he
did so. His brother Isaac Dugue, on the other hand, was a minor in 1696, a bit
older than his sister born in about 1685, and was probably no more than about
22-25 years old in 1706, young to have an existing family. On the other hand,
all of the names that one would expect in a son of PeterÕs (Peter, Isaac,
James) are found in the sons of the Struyse marriage; the origin of ÒWalterÓ in
this family is entirely unknown.
The following references from the Kingston Parish, Jamaica, Register[79] document the death of three DuguŽ sons:
Vol. I:
p. 3 Dugay, James, buried 3 Nov 1722
p. 7 Dugue, Thomas, buried 1 Jan 1723
p. 8 Dugue, William, buried 22 Jan 1723
Peter and his brother Isaac were both in Jamaica at this time and in theory either could have been father of these children. However, it will be seen that James DuguŽ who died in Jamaica in 1766 was the son of Peter and Dorothy DuguŽ; the James DuguŽ who died in 1722 was probably a son of Isaac DuguŽ. This rapid succession of deaths may be attributable to the hurricane of 28 Aug 1722, one of the worst ever to hit Jamaica, with terrible loss of both life and property, and the earthquake the same year, which caused additional damage. Such events are often followed by the rapid spread of infectious disease, malnutrition, and other threats to human life, especially that of children. There was also a slave rebellion in Jamaica in 1722. It was not a healthy environment.
The listing of the burials in the Kingston Parish (the narrow slip of land extending partially across the harbor at Kingston, defined as a separate parish in 1693), which was not the usual family parish, suggests that the family may have lost their home as a consequence of the storm. As shipbuilders, it is also very likely that Peter and Isaac lost everything in their businesses, unless they had a ship at sea out of harmÕs way at the time of the storm.
Peter continued business interests in South Carolina long after he established his family in Jamaica. In 1718 Peter provided his power of attorney to Joseph Wragg of South Carolina to recover debts owed to him in South Carolina:

PETER TO JOSEPH WRAGG, POWER OF ATTORNEY TO RECOVER DEBTS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Names Indexed: DUGUE, PETER/WRAGG, JOSEPH/
Type: POWER OF ATTORNEY/
Topics: DEBT/
This power of attorney
was witnessed in Jamaica by John Marten and Capt. Michal Durouzeaux.[80] The Martens who were in Jamaica at this time
were Jewish residents of Spanish Town, Jamaica.[81] However Michael Durouzeaux appears to be a
South Carolina connection of DuguŽÕs, a fellow Huguenot in the maritime trades.
The members of the Durouzeaux family originally from Saintonge, France.[82] In 1699 ÒM DuroutzeÓ witnessed a document for
John Royer of Charles Town, mariner. Royer was the son of Judith Royer, who
after the death of Noah Royer married Peter Manigault. [83]
Bond for the
administration of the estate of Daniell Durouzeaux, Sr., family founder in
South Carolina, was provided in 1700 by Jean Prioleau, Peter Girard, and James
Dubose (whose wife was Marie DuguŽ).
The warrant of appraisement for his estate was directed to Peter de St.
Julien, James Le Lerurier, Lewis Pasquereau, Elias Foissin, and Henry
Perroneau.[84]
Michael Durazeau
provided bond, with Henry Broneau, for Henry Bruneau as administrator of the
estate of Paul Brunean in 1711.[85] The Bruneaus were of a noble French family.[86] Bruneau owned land in St. James Santee Parish.
In 1733 Henry Bruneau owned land on the Santee adjacent Jacob Bond, founder of
the Bond shipyards at Hobcaw Point and father-in-law of Clement Lempriere and
others.[87]
MichaelÕs brother,
Daniel Durouzeaux, Jr., and Elizabeth Faucheraud married and were parents of
Daniel Durouzeaux, III and Peter Durouzeaux. With the death of Daniel and
Elizabeth, ElizabethÕs mother Anna Faucheraud (widow of Charles Faucheraud) was
given custody of the minor children.[88] Daniel Durouzeaux III was married by Rev. John
Giessendanner to Olivia Wood in 1747:[89]
93. Daniel Decuraseux
March 14th To Olivet Wood.
In Georgia the
Durouzeaux became very involved in Creek affairs, and intermarried with the
Creeks. Stephen James Durouzeaux became the principal interpreter for the Creek
Nation.[90] Tobias Fitch, who married Peter DuguŽÕs niece
Marianne DuguŽ, was Creek agent in the mid-1720s.[91] Later their son John Fitch was active in Creek
affairs, and settled in the Augusta area. John Fitch married Ann Holmes, whose
family also intermarried with that of George Galphin (see Fitch and Holmes,
Assoc. Families Charleston file). The will of Daniel Durouzeaux of Georgia
listed George Galphin as an executor.[92] Galphin was the principal trader to the Lower
Creek Nation, and Creek agent for Georgia governor Sir James Wright.[93]
Among the business interests that Peter DuguŽ may have retained in South Carolina, requiring appointment of his kinsman Joseph Wragg as attorney to represent him, was the property that he inherited from his father in Charleston and on James Island. On 27 and 28 Feb 1726 a deed by Richard Grimston for lot #229 in Charleston lists N on Mr. Dugue, E on John Hill, W on Thomas Rose.[94] This suggests that in 1726 Peter Dugue retained ownership of Lot #186, on King Street between Broad and Tradd, which he had inherited from his father in 1696. However, delays in filing deeds often produced out-of-date lists of adjacent landowners.
A memorial for Lawrence Dennis dated 1733 for property on the south side of Newtown Creek on James Island in South Carolina identifies Peter Dugue as an adjacent landowner on the east side in that year. The original document has been examined by the author and a staff archivist at the South Carolina Department of Archives` and History and seems to refer to him as a contemporary, not a past, landowner. This was land that Peter inherited from his father in 1696, near the Hearn, Davis, Tucker and Watkins families.[95]

No later record has
been found that shows Peter Dugue as owner of any part of the Newtown Creek
property, or record of sale of the property by him or his heirs. If Peter
actually acquired the 500 acres of land for which a warrant was issued in 1697,
no record of it survives.
Evidence from land
records places James DuguŽ in St. DorothyÕs Parish in 1737, and later, in 1750,
purchasing land in St. James Parish.
1746 FA Deed for James
Dugue to Richard Reader (Liber 130 1746 Folio 407). In 1754 Richard Reader owned land in St. AndrewÕs (20 acres)
and St. GeorgeÕs (880 acres) parishes.[96] In 1749 John Grey bought land from James Dukes
(Liber 138 1749 Folio 91).
A John Gray is listed
in St. GeorgeÕs Parish and in Kingston:[97]
GRAY,
JOHN M.A. St. George 1745, '47.
GRAY,
JOHN (Gray & Hunter ) M.D.
Kingston 1768.
A William Gray was
buried in St. CatherineÕs Parish in 1755.[98] In
1672 a William Grey sold land in St. CatherineÕs Parish to Sir Thomas Lynch
(Lib 4 fol' 84). [99] William Gray was listed as a landowner with 720
acres in St. CatherineÕs in 1670.[100] In 1768 a William Gray was Provost Marshall of
Jamaica.[101] A Henry Grey was a planter in Vere Parish in
1726 (Liber 17, Folio 90).[102]
Abel Castlefrank was a
landowner in St. James Parish in 1754, having 696 acres.[103] He sold land to James Dugue in 1750 (Liber 140
1750 Folio 54).
James Irving of St.
James Parish, Jamaica, (northwest Jamaica) was sold land by James Dugue in 1754
(Liber 166 1757 Folio 79). Irving had South Carolina associations:[104]

THE HONBLE. JAMES IRVING,
ESQ. LATE CUSTOS OF TRELAWNY, DIED 21st NOVEMBER, 1798, AGED 49 YEARS.
THE Irvings, owners of
Ironshore and Hartfield, in St. James' parish. James, eldest son of Dr. James
Irving, obtained Ironshore, from John Lawrence, in exchange for an estate in
South Carolina. James Irving, the younger, was Custos of Trelawny, and represented
that parish, in the Assemblies of 1774, 1781, 1787, 1790, and 1796. This was a
branch of the family of Irving of Robgill Tower, Dumfriesshire, represented by
Sir Paulus Aemelius Irving, Bart.
In 1774 James Irving
was recorded as owning the sugar plantation Ironshore in St. James Parish, with
12 men bearing arms, 4 women and children, 254 slaves, 20 stock, 190 Hhds.
and 0 TRCS.[105] Ironshore is still extant, and is beautifully
situated overlooking the sea east of Montego Bay Point.
According to SCDAH records
in 1755 a James Irving sold Goose Creek, SC, land to Richard Dunn Lawrence
(also indexed by SCDAH as Richard DunnLaurens):

However, Richard Dunn
Lawrence defaulted on this purchase.[106] The Dunns were a Montego Bay, St. JamesÕ
Parish, Jamaica, family, descended from Richard Dunn. The Dunns of St. James
married into the Lawrence family several times.[107] The first Lawrence-Dunn connection was quite
early; the relict of Richard Dunn married the first John Lawrence of Jamaica.[108] The South Carolina family may or may not be
connected to that of Jamaica.
The daughter of John
Lawrence II and Susanna Petgrave Lawrence, Rachael, married Jeremiah Downer.[109] James Dugue also had business dealings with
George Downer of St. James Parish. In 1750 John Lawrence owned 5620 acres of
land in Jamaica (the published list does not include owners of fewer than 5000
acres).[110]

SCDAH Listings for a
James Irving, Charleston merchant, refer to merchant activities involving
Jamaica, Cuba, Santo Domingo, and North Carolina in the early 1750Õs.[111]
A William Stewart of
South Carolina was a son-in-law of Arthur Hall and an associate of William Duke
of Christ Church Parish, SC. Arthur Hall was heavily involved in Jamaican
merchant activities, as was William Stewart.
George Bonner had real estate transactions with
James Dukes in 1750 and 1753 (FA Deed for James Dukes to George Bonner Liber
151 1753 Folio 29; BA Deed for George Bonner to James Dukes Liber 141 1750
Folio 184.). Bonner was a landowner in St. DorothyÕs Parish (Caribbeana Vol.
II).
George Bonner and
others in his family held land in both St. DorothyÕs and St. AnnÕs parishes
during the 18th century.[112] Freeman Bonner was listed as owner of 88 acres
in St. DorothyÕs Parish in 1754.[113] George Bonner of Kingston, carpenter, married
Mary Ward in Kingston on 21 Dec 1754.[114] John Bonner was in St. CatherineÕs Parish by
1670.[115] George Bonner was a JP in St. CatherineÕs in
1751.[116]
John Turner purchased land from James Dukes in
1753 (FA Deed for James Dukes to John Turner Liber 154 1753 Folio 111). Turners
appear in the early marriage indexes of St. CatherineÕs Parish.[117] A John Turner owned land in Santa Cruz,
Jamaica, in the 1740Õs.[118]
There was also a John Turner in Charleston with interesting connections:
The Pallas, a 200 ton ship, John Turner, master, was registered
in 1774 in Charleston to owners that included the James Laurens of the Laurens
family of South Carolina, and also Peter Bacot.[119]
George Downer was a
Jamaican landowner in 1754 in the St. James (northwest Jamaica) and Vere
(adjacent St. DorothyÕs) parishes.[120]In 1759 he sold land to James Dugue (BA Deed for
George Downer to James Dugue Liber 176 1759 Folio 74). As noted above, Jeremiah
Downer married a daughter of John Lawrence II.
James DugueÕs will

of St. Andrews Jamaica:

Roger Hope Ellotson.
The will establishes
that James Dugue of Jamaica was the son of Peter and Dorothy DuguŽ. Dorothy
Roycroft owned four acres of land in St. DorothyÕs Parish in 1754.[121] In 1737 she sold or gave land to James Dugue (Liber
101 1737 Folio 31). She was identified in his will as his mother, and can
therefore be identified as Dorothy Struyse DuguŽ, widow of Peter DuguŽ. The
1737 deed from Dorothy Roycroft to James Dugue places the death of Peter DuguŽ
before that year, when Dorothy had remarried, to an unknown Roycroft.
The James DuguŽ also will demonstrates that Dorothy DuguŽ, sister of this James DuguŽ, never married. Mary DuguŽ, daughter of Peter and Dorothy, married a Burnside. The other Jamaican wills that reference the DuguŽs show that she married Andrew Burnside. The Burnside family appears to be centered in St.AndrewÕs Parish.[122] In 1753 Andrew Burnside owned 480 acres in St. AndrewÕs.[123] DorothyÕs baptismal record is preserved in the parish records; that of Mary is not.
The James Dugue will
shows that Andrew and Mary Burnside had a son, Thomas Burnside. Niece Elizabeth
Brown is listed with her children, and may be a daughter of the Burnsides, a
speculation supported by her naming a son Andrew. Sarah Groves Brown and
Dorothy Francis Brown were also children of niece Elizabeth Brown. The will of
Mary Burnside, dated 23 Mar 1769, establishes the death of Mary DuguŽ Burnside,
daughter of Peter and Dorothy DuguŽ (Jamaica Wills Liber 38 Folio 58).
Isaac Dugue is first documented by the St. Julien List;
15. PIERRE DUGUƒ, Isaac Dugue, son frre, et ƒlizabeth DuguŽ,
leur s¾ur, nŽz ˆ BŽsance en Bery, enfans de Jacques DuguŽ et d'ƒlizabet
Dupuy.
Isaac Dugue was the youngest son, a minor at the time his fatherÕs estate was settled in 1696.[124] He was the son of Elizabeth DuPuy DuguŽ, and was presumably born not too long before his sister Elizabeth, who was born in South Carolina after the familyÕs immigration in 1685. Thus it is reasonable to suppose that Isaac was born in about 1682-4.
In the settlement of Jacques DuguŽÕs estate in 1696, Isaac received, with his sister Elizabeth who later married Paul Trapier, Òpart of a town lot in Charles Town, on Broad Street, which James DuguŽ purchased of James DeBourdeaux, blacksmith, together with the buildings thereon, and £4. 12. 4.Ó
Jamaica parish records on IsaacÕs family are incomplete. There is no marriage record. The documentation begins with the christening of a child in 1709:[125]
Clarendon Parish Register, Vol. I:
p. 27 Elizabeth, daughter of Isaac and Mary Dugue, baptized 27 Dec 1709
There is then a substantial gap. The next reference is 14 years later, in an adjacent parish:[126]
St. DorothyÕs Parish Register, Vol. I:
p. 3 baptized Grace, daughter of Isaac and Mary Dugue, 5 Apr 1723
p. 4 buried Isaac Dugue, 1731
p. 7 baptized unnamed daughter of Eleanor Rogers by Hugh Dugue, 24 Oct 1739
p. 8 buried Hugh Dugue, 5 Feb 1741
p. 13 Grace Dugue married John Skinner 13 Jan 1749
p. 14 buried Mary Dugue, widow, age 67, 29 Sep 1749
St. DorothyÕs Parish was separated from Clarendon Parish in
1696, so the shift in IsaacÕs parishes over the years is not the result of St.
DorothyÕs separation from Clarendon Parish. It is possible that loss of records
in St. DorothyÕs parish, probably in the hurricane of 1722, led to the gap in
recorded baptisms.
With an interval of 14 years between the documented
children, Isaac could easily have had seven or even more children in addition
to those shown in the registers. The St. DorothyÕs Parish references to Hugh
Dugue confirm the existence of additional children besides those christened in
the two parishes.
The following references from the Kingston Parish, Jamaica, Register[127] document the death of three DuguŽ sons:
Vol. I:
p. 3 Dugay, James, buried 3 Nov 1722
p. 7 Dugue, Thomas, buried 1 Jan 1723
p. 8 Dugue, William, buried 22 Jan 1723
Since James DuguŽ who died in Jamaica in 1766 was the son of Peter and Dorothy DuguŽ; the James DuguŽ who died in 1722 was apparently a son of Isaac DuguŽ. Thomas and William might have belonged to either brother. It has previously been noted that these deaths probably arose as a consequence of the terrible events of 1722 in Jamaica.
The following reference shows that in 1724 Isaac sold his interest in property in Charleston to Paul Trapier, who had married his younger sister Elizabeth:[128]
Book D, p. 92, 6 Aug 1724, Deed of Sale. Isaac Dugue, shipwright, to his brother-in-law, Paul Trapier, planter, for £250 SC money, ½ of ¼ of a half town lot in Charleston. Whereas James Dugue Sr., father of Isaac, by will dated 28 May 1686 gave his 5 children, Isaac, Peter, Mary, Judith & Elizabeth, and his granddaughter Mariane Dugue all his real and personal estate, share & share alike; and whereas the estate was duly divided on 27 Oct 1696, among other things allowing Isaac Dugue & his sister Elizabeth (in equal halves) a certain part of a lot in Charleston being ¼ of ½ of 1 town lot fronting to the Broad Street, bounding S on the Broad Street, E on Dr. John Deleaure, W & N on Elizabeth Burtell, which part of a lot their father James had purchased from James Dubourdeaux, blacksmith, on 31 Oct 1687; and whereas Paul Trapier by marrying Elizabeth Dugue became heir to ½ of the ¼ part of the ½ town lot & half the buildings; now Isaac Dugue sells his half to Trapier. Witnesses: James Searon, Peter Herman, Anthony Bonneau, Jr., Before Thomas Hepworth. Jacob Motte, Registrar.
IsaacÕs ownership of the Charleston property in 1724 suggests that he had continuing interests there. However, it is not hard to understand his sale of his interest in 1724. He doubtless needed the money, and a shared interest in Charleston property might have helped his economic recovery. He was apparently present in Charleston for the sale, since he acted on his own behalf. It is likely that there were many visits to Charleston over the years.
Anthony Bonneau, Jr., who was a witness to this 1724 sale of property interest by Isaac DuguŽ to Paul Trapier, later reappears among the witnesses to the will of John Snow in St. Thomas and St. Denis Parish, along with Thomas Goodman Duke. Bonneau owned land in both St. Johns and St. Thomas and St. Denis parishes, and lived on the Wando River in St. Thomas and St. Denis. This is one of many specific family connections shared by the people named Dugue and Duke in the Charleston area. In 1766, Henry Simons married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Goodman Duke and his wife Susanna. HenryÕs parents were Samuel Dupre Simons and Elizabeth Bonneau, daughter of Anthony Bonneau Sr. and Jeanne Elizabeth Videau. Later, Frances Bonneau of Charleston was a surety for the estate of David Watts, administered by Benjamin Duke, son of Thomas Goodman Duke.[129]
Paul Trapier I did not remain in possession of the Broad St. property very long. In his will dated 15 Jan 1726/27 and probated 10 Nov 1727 he left the property to hi son Paul, a minor at that time. His plantation La Grande Fontaine he left to sons Isaac and Benjamin.[130]
In 1740 Mary
ÒWrightwrickÓ sold land to Mary Dugue: BA Deed for Mary Wrightwrick to Mary
Dugue Liber 109 1740 Folio 24. No other Wrightwrick references have been found.
LDS has no listings for this name or any close equivalents. However, Wightwick
does produce a listing:[131]
JOHNSON, JOHN
St. Catherine, Planter.
In 1746 a private
act was passed to entitle his reputed daughter Anne and her son Thomas
Wightwick to the same rights &c., with English subjects.
A Jacob Johnson married the daughter of John Lawrence of
Ironshore.[132] Ironshore
was traded to James Irving for land in South Carolina.
In 1731 there is a deed Mary Dugue to John Jones (Liber 89
Folio 160).
In 1749
Mary Dugue sold land to James Davidson: FA Deed for Mary Dugue to James
Davidson Liber 133 1748 Folio 73.
No information has been found on a Davidson of the correct
time period. A William Davison owned land in St. AndrewÕs Parish in 1670.[133]
The estate of a James Davidson was inventoried in St. AnnÕs Parish (1B/11/3/115
Folio 125).
The will of Mary Dugue identifies her as a widow of St.
DorothyÕs Parish. The will was written
14 Jun 1749 and was recorded on 8 Feb 1776 (Liber 43 1776 Folio 22). It mentions daughter Grace wife of
John Skinner mariner, who parish records show she married in 1749.
Mary also mentions grandsons John Philip Boist and Robert
Boist. She also mentions daughter Margaret wife of George Shells Mariner. The
Boists may be children of daughter Margaret from a previous marriage. They do
not belong to Grace, who married John Skinner as a Dugue and was therefore not
previously married.
The will text is as follows:
Dugue, Mary Proved 8th Febry. 1776.1

In the Name of God, Amen. I Mary Dugue of Old Harbour in the

A James DuguŽ appears in South Carolina records between 1725
and 1766 in various contexts. Both Jacques DuguŽ and his son James were
deceased in 1696. The only later James Dugue who might have had an active real
estate interest in Charleston is James, son of Peter and Dorothy Dugue of
Jamaica.
Tracing the history of the lots in question is greatly
complicated by changes in Charleston lot numbers over time, but most later
references can be traced to 17th century properties owned by
Jacques/James Dugue. On the whole, the references point to the DuguŽ family
(not an 18th century resident named James DuguŽ, but heirs of the
original immigrant Jacques DuguŽ) retaining property in Charleston through at
least the mid-1720Õs, and disposing of most of that property by the mid-1740Õs.
So long as the property remained in the family, there seems to have been little
effort to update the registered deeds for these properties. The references
therefore do not establish that another individual named James Dugue was
present in Charleston, but that the family of Peter and Isaac DuguŽ maintained
property in Charleston for decades after their departure for Jamaica.
The following archival reference states that James Dugue filed a memorial for Lot #70 in Charleston in 1732:
Series No.: S111001
Volume: 0001

Item:00
Date: 1732
Description: DUGUE, JAMES, MEMORIAL FOR A TOWN LOT IN
CHARLES TOWN, EXHIBITING A CONVEYANCE DATED APR. 19, 1692 FROM ROBERT SKELTON
TO JAMES DUGUE.
Names Indexed: SKELTON,
ROBERT/DUGUE, JAMES/
Locations: CHARLESTON/
Type: MEMORIAL/CONVEYANCE
The actual document is the original deed transferring the lot from Skelton to James Dugue. Skelton is identified as a cordwainer. The document bears a date of 1692. It refers to Lot #78 rather than #70. Lot #78 was originally granted to Bernard Schingkingh. The memorial was witnessed by F. GuŽrard, Wm. White, ?,? and Is. ?. There is no document asserting that the memorial itself was filed in 1732 by anyone named James Dugue, although the archivist indexed the item under that name.
This is property that was disposed of in Jacque DuguŽÕs estate settlement in 1696. Lot #70 was inherited by Marianne DuguŽ, daughter of the then-deceased James Dugue (II) and his wife Marianne Fleury de la Plane DuguŽ.[134] Marianne DuguŽ later married Tobias Fitch.
In 1720 Tobias and Marianne Fitch sold the northern half of #70 to Andrew Dupuy. Dupuy was probably a relative; Jacques DuguŽÕs second wife was Elizabeth Dupuy.[135]
Book E, p. 136. 11 & as July 1720. Tobias Fitch, planer, & Marianne, his wife, daughter of James Dugue, Mr. & of Dame Marian Henry his wife & granddaughter of James Dugue, Sr., to Andrew Dupuy, merchant, of Charleston, for £200 SC money, the northern half of lot #70 in Charleston, divided in middle of E & W lines, bounding N on Barnard Schenckingh; S on other half; E on west side of a street parallel with Cooper River. Whereas James Dugue, Sr., possessing a good estate & half of lot #70 in Charleston, by will dated 28 May 1696 gave his granddaughter Marianne 1/6 of his real & personal estate ordaining, that should any of his children, under age, should want a division made to obtain his part, the same should proceed by the advice of the majority, the others not to appeal, appointing his son Peter Dugue sole executor; & whereas on 27 Oct. 1696 Peter Dugue, executor, agreed with Samuel Dubondieu, Esq., & Judith his wife, James Dubose and Mary his wife, & Marianne, widow of James Dugue, Jr., on behalf o her daughter Marianne, wife of Tobias Fitch, that Marianne (wife of James Dugue, Jr.,) for her daughter Marianne should take & keep as her share at the expiration of 1-1/2 years, town lot #70; now Fitch sells Dupuy half of lot #70. Witnesses: Robert Hume, William Harvey, John Royer. Before John Croft, M.C. Jacob Motte, Register.
In this 1720 document, Fitch cites Barnard Schenckingh as adjacent landowner on the north side of the lot in question. Schenckingh was the recipient of the original grant for Lot #78, which seems to have been the earlier designation for this same property. Schenckingh was deceased at this time; there was apparently a tendency not to record deeds showing changes in ownership that arose through inheritance, so that individuals citing adjacent landowners were sometimes decades out of date, the neighboring land having passed through several hands in the same family during the interim. For example, a 1743 deed by Sarah Trott Rhett for Lot #113, located near Lot #70 on the SW corner of Church and Queen streets, identifies Bernard Schenckingh as the owner of the property bounding south on hers (Charleston Deeds Book &, page 506).[136] Not only was Schenckingh deceased at this time, but the will of his son and heir, Benjamin Schenckingh, had been probated in 1733.[137] In contrast, RhettÕs deed identifies her neighbor on the west as ÒRichard Beresford (formerly Bernard Schenckingh). In that case, there was a sale outside the family, and a new deed was registered. This practice recurs many times in reviewing Charleston properties belonging to the DuguŽ family.
The location of Lot #70 is pertinent to interpreting some later references. Two transactions in 1766 place James Dugue adjacent Charleston Lot #31:.[138]
ÒBook E-3, p. 773. 16 & 17 June 1766 Daniel Ravenel, planter, of St. JohnÕs Parish, & Charlotte, his wife, 1 of the daughters of Paul Mazyck of Charleston; to Benjamin Mazyck, Esq. of Charleston, for £1000 SC money, half of lot #31 in Charleston, bounding S 53 ft. on Broad Street; N on James Dugue; E n Peter de St. Julien; W on other half formerly belonging to Edward Rawlins; which lot #31 Paul Mazyck had purchased from Isaac Mazyck, of Charleston . . . Ò
And also,
Book F-3, p. 19. 17 & 18 July 1766 Benjamin Mazyck of Charleston, to Daniel Ravenel, planter, of St. Johns Parish, for £1000 currency, half of lot #31 in Charleston, bounding N on James Dugue, S 53 ft. on Broad Street; E on Peter de St. Julien; W on other half belonging to Edward Rawlings; which lot #31 was purchased by Paul Mazyck from Isaac Mazyck, . . .Ó
It can be shown that the location referenced by the name James Dugue in this document is Lot #70, inherited by the Fitches from Jacques DuguŽ.
The early plan of Charleston shows two lots #30.[139] One fronts on Broad St. just below Lot #28 at the corner of Broad and Church streets. This Lot #30 has a Lot #31 immediately to the north. The other Lot #30 fronts on Broad St. a block farther west, east of an open market area that is a continuation of Meeting St. and also east of the SW corner of property labelled ÒMrs. Cross 3 Lots.Ó It has been found that the Lot #31 to which Mazyck and Ravenel refer above is in fact the one shown as Lot # 30 adjacent the market area and Mrs. CrossÕ three lots. This Lot #30 was originally granted to Edward Rawlings. His widow, Susannah Rawlings Wigginton, sold the western part of this lot to Royer in 1742:

The following are some other transactions relevant to establishing the property in this location:
On 15 and 16 Sep 1719, Book X, page 230, ÒSusannah Wigginton, (formerly wife of Edward Rawlings) of 1st part; Thomas Hepworth, Esq., and & Anne his wife, Mary Blamyer, widow; & Edward Rawlings, joiner; Anne, Mary & Edward being children of Edward Rawlings, Sr., of 2nd part; John Royer, cordwainer, of 3rd part; all of Charleston. Whereas Edward Rawlings, Sr., by will dated 24 Sept. 1699 bequested to his loving wife Susannah all his real & personal estate for her natural life, with power to dispose of the estate for her maintenance & the bringing up of their children; & whereas she has agreed to sell John Royer half of lot #30 for £160 currency towards her maintenance . . . now Susannah Wigginton sells to Royer, for £160 currency, half of lot #30, fronting S 53 ft. on Broad Street, bounding E 187 ft. on Isaac Mazyck; W on vacant land laid out for a market.Ó[140]
On 7 and 8 Mar 1721, Charleston Deeds Book Bb, p. 11, Edward
Rawlings and his wife Mary sold to Robert Hume 1/3 part of 3 lots in Charleston
willed by Mary Cross to William Bailey, Susannah Rawlings & Mary Basden
Òfronting N on a street leading E from Cooper River by Messrs. Gibbon &
Allen (Queen St.) 2/3 parts of the whole front of said 3 lots on said street; S
on Peter Manigault Òas now fenct inÓ & on Tobias Fitch; W on other parts
said 3 lots; E on Richard Beresford Esq. (formerly Mr. Jackson).Ó[141]
On 11 Jan 1723 Susannah Rawlings Wiginton sold to Robert Hume part of 3 lots Òfronting N 100 ft. on a street running from Cooper River by the lots of Gibbon & Allen [Queen]; the depths back from N to S the whole depth of the 3 lots from N to S except 201 feet fenced in by Peter Manigault; bounding E on other part of the 3 lots belong to Susannah Wigonton; W on a street parallel with Cooper River toward the Presbyterian Meeting house.Ó[142]
On 23 and 24 Jul 1725, Book D, page 313, Peter and Anne Manigault sold to John Laurens Ò1/2 part of 3 lots near the market place in Charleston which were devised by Mary Cross . . . Òbounding S on market place; W on the street per fortifications; N on remaining part of the 3 lots now in possession of Edward Rollings; E on lots #30 & #69 & formerly known by #59 in model & records of Charleston.Ó[143]
On 16 and 17 Dec 1731, Book I, page 600, Susannah Wigington (formerly Susannah Rawlings, widow of Edward Rawlings, vintner) to Robert Hume, gentleman, . . . 1/6 part of 3 lots in Charleston, given by Mary Cross . . . fronting N 50 ft. on a street leading from Cooper River b y lots formerly belonging to Messrs. Gibbon & Allen, now to Mssrs. Tonnerville, Ellery, Cooper, & Capt. Warden; bounding S on land formerly belonging to Peter Manigault, now to Laurens or Bonneau & on Dupey [Dupuy] (formerly Tobias Fitch).Ó[144]
On 13 and 14 Apr 1737, Book S, page 57, John Beresford sold to John Bee the W part of lot #90, fronting 32 ft 7 in on S side of Queen St, running the whole depth of the lot; also lot #70 lying S of the above lot, the 2 parts of lots making 2 long square 32 ft 6 in and from Queen St. running S to lot of Mrs. Dupuy; bounding E on John Beresford, W on John Bee.[145]
After a recitation of the history of the three lots willed to Mary Cross, Book C-C, page 204, Alexander Hume on 23 and 24 Oct 1746 conveyed to Benjamin DÕHarriette the N half of the three lots of Mary Cross.[146]
On 10 and 11 Oct 1753, Book O-O, page 640, Benjamin de St. Julien, gentleman. . . to Elizabeth de St. Julien . . . Òthe E half of lot #56 in Charleston, bounding S 47 ½ ft. on Broad Street; N & W on Isaac MazyckÕs lots; E on estate of Joseph de St. Julien. Whereas the Lords Propres. On 24 Apr. 1683 granted John Palmer, Jr., lot #56 on N side of Broad St, & whereas the E half of the lot by various mesne conveyances became the property of Peter de St. Julien; . . .Ó[147]
Then, in 1756 Gabriel Manigault, Alexander Broughton, & Peter Manigault, executors of the will of Benjamin DÕHarriette, sold to Walter Izard the N division of 3 lots in Charleston, bounding N 150 ft. on Queen Street; W on John Bee; S on 197 ft. on a private alley (formerly Anthony Bonneau).Ó[148]
Altogether, these references place the lot attributed to James Dugue in 1766 east of the three lots granted to Mrs. Cross, north of Isaac Mazyck, west of land earlier in the possession of Edward Rawlings (and later others such as Robert Hume, Peter Manigault, and John Laurens), and NW of Peter St. Julien, who was in Lot #56. It also places this property in the approximate location of Lot #70, which Marianne Dugue Fitch and her husband Tobias Fitch inherited from Jacques [James] Dugue, and indicates that the property was between Broad and Church streets, and east of Meeting St.
The portion of Lot #70 sold by Beresford to John Bee in 1731, bounding south on Mrs. Dupuy, would have been the northernmost part of the portion of the lot that was purchased by Jacques DuguŽ, which was previously sold by Fitch to Andrew Dupuy. Mrs. Dupuy (or her heirs) apparently retained the remainder of the northern part of #70.
The original bill of sale between Skelton and DuguŽ, preserved as the memorial filed in 1733, appears to refer to transfer of the whole of Lot #78 to DuguŽ. The papers related to the disposition of the estate of Jacques DuguŽ refer to the property only as Lot #70, without evidence of partition. The documentation of the sale between Fitch and Dupuy similarly implies that a northern portion of the property was retained by Fitch. However, later evidence of Fitch ownership of that property has not yet been found in the available records.
There was on 14 Jun 1739 a lease and release transaction (Charleton Deeds Book T, p. 77) involving a parcel on the north side of Broad Street owned by Margaret Nicholl Ramsey, widow of John Ramsey. She was transferring her dower interest in the property to her son-in-law, John Crockatt. The lot became CrockattÕs residence. The document asserts that ÒWhereas John Ramsay owned part of a lot in Charleston fronting 26-1/2 ft. on the N side of Broad Street, bounding W 102 ft. on Mr. Dugue; E on Timothy Bellamy; N on Mrs. Brutell ; . .Ó[149]
The neighbor mentioned in this first transaction, ÒMrs. BrutellÓ, was Elizabeth (Mrs. Peter) Burtell. An adjacent lot to the north, No. 29, had been granted to Peter Burtell on 9 May 1694. In 1687 Burtell also purchased the northern half of Lot No. 28 at the corner of Broad and Church streets, which was originally granted to Joseph West. WestÕs portion was later at least in part held by Timothy Bellamy (WestÕs wife was a Bellamy) and was subdivided a number of times.
Peter Burtell was an elder of the Huguenot Church who, along with one of the DuguŽs, protested to the Lords Proprietors regarding discrimination against Huguenots by the locals in South Carolina.[150] In 1701 Peter Burtell died and his estate devolved to his heirs, including his wife Elizabeth and daughter Marie Elizabeth, who married Alexander Thesee de Chastaiger. The Chastaiger children, Alexander Thesee (who married Susanna Elizabeth LeNoble), Magdalene Elizabeth (who married Henry Izard), and Henrietta Charlotte (who married Nathaniel Broughton), were involved in subsequent transactions regarding the property.
Property within the southern half of #28, not purchased by Burtell, appeared in the 1725 will of Timothy Bellamy; Joseph WestÕs wife was Mary Bellamy.[151]
Hicks summarized the early history of lots #28 and #29:[152]
Ò28. 1682. Joseph West. Joseph West #28. Will of Timothy Bellamy. [Note: the widow, Mary Bellamy, md. Miles Brewton.] In 1687, Joseph West deeded ½ of lot 28 to Peter Burtell. Peter Burtell by will 1601 bequeathed the estate (after the death of his wife Elizabeth) to be divided equally among his 3 grandchildren, Alexander Chastaigner (father of Catharine wife of Paul Mazyck), Magdalain Elizabeth Chastaigner (wife of Ralph Izard), & Charlotte Henrietta Chastaigner (wife of Nathanial Broughton).
29. 1694. Peter Buretell/Burtell/Bruttell. In 1735 Ralph Izard and Magdalaine Elizabeth his wife, one of the grandda. & devisees of Peter Burtell, merchant; Nathanial Broughton and Charlotta Henrietta his wife, another granddau. & devisee of Peter Burtell; Paul Mazyck & Catharina his wife, gr granddau. Of Peter Burtell & only dau. & heir at law of Alexander Chastainger, grandson of one of the devisees of Peter Burtell – sold to Paul Jenys ½ of lot 28 and all of lot 29 [Charleston Deed Q:146].Ó
A 1745 transaction by Mary Bellamy clarifies the partitioning of Lot #28 to some extent:[153]
Book B-B, p. 386, 5 Mar 1745 Feoffment. Mary Brewton, widow of Miles Brewton, gentleman, of Charleston (lately Mary Bellamy), to Mathew Roche, merchant of Charleston, for £2000 SC money, & other considerations, all her claim to that part of lot #28 with the tenement thereon, adjoining the dwelling house where Timothy Bellamy, her late husband, lived, bounding E 100 Ft. on said dwelling house now owned by Mathew Roche; W on John CrockattÕs house (formerly Mrs. Catherine Leporter, then of Dr. John Delaune); N on the heirs of Mr. Jenys (formerly Madam Bretell); S 34 ft. on Broad St. Whereas Timothy Bellamy, merchant of Charleston, by will dated 25 Feb 1725 devised to his wife, Mary during her natural life, that part of lot #28 adjoining his dwelling house, with the tenement then to be built on the lot, & after her death to his daughter Ann Bellamy, now wife of Mathew Roche; now she releases her claim to Roche. Witnesses: John Rattray, James Grindlay. Witnesses to livery & seizing: Alexander Livie, John Rattray, James Grindlay. Before Jacob Motte, J.P. James Home, Publ Reg.
So, the 1739 Ramsey document shows John Crockatt becoming the owner of a lot bounding west on a portion of Lot#28 that belonged to James Dugue. The Crockatt residence was bounded north on Madam Brutell and later on Mr. Jenys and east on Timothy Bellamy. The 1745 Mary Bellamy Brewton document indicates that John CrockettÕs house was previously the property of Mrs. Catherine Leporter (LaPostre) and then of Dr. John Delaune before Crockett. She doesnÕt mention the Ramseys as earlier owners.
In Charleston Deeds Book D, page 92, we see that the property in which Isaac Dugue sold his interest in Aug 1724 to his brother-in-law Paul Trapier was the lot that Jacques DuguŽ had bought from Samuel DuBourdeaux, Òbeing ¼ of ½ of 1 town lot fronting to the Broad Street, bounding S on the Broad Street, E on Dr. John Deleauhe, W & N on Elizabeth Burtell.Ó This appears to be the lot – fronting E on Dr. Deleahe -- ÒDr. John DelauneÓ in the Brewton document – that Isaac Dugue inherited from Jacques (James) DuguŽ and in which he sold his interest to Paul Trapier in 1724.
On 9 and 10 Mar 1746 Charleston Deeds Book D-D, page 236, shows that Paul Trapier II and his wife Magdalen sold to John Paul GrimkŽ Òpart of a lot in Charleston fronting S 27 ft on Broad Street; . . . E on John Crockatt.Ó[154] The reference to Mr. Ramsay owning a lot bounding ÒW on James DugueÓ may simply have been obsolete at the time that it was written in 1739, but it is likely that Isaac DuguŽ and Paul Trapier didnÕt bother to record changes in ownership of this portion of Lot #28 at the death of James Dugue and the sale of IsaacÕs interest to Trapier, waiting until the property was sold out of the family in 1746 to register a new deed.
A series of transactions document the continued ownership of
DuguŽ properties near Broad St. and King St. These properties appear to be in
the same block (referring to the original very large blocks of the Charleston
plan), but seem to refer to multiple lots in the possession of a James DuguŽ.
Lot #186 was among the original Jacques DuguŽ lot grants. It
is shown on the map of early lot grants in a location fronting Meeting Street
between Legare and Broad streets.[155]
A 1725 transaction shows that by that year the eastern half of Lot #186 had
been sold out of DuguŽ family ownership, but the western half was still owned
by the DuguŽ family.
Book D:239. On 29 and 30 Mar 1725 John Brand, carpenter,
sold to John Greenland, victualler, lot #164 and one half of lot #186. Brand
described Lot #164 as ½ acre bounding N on the great street leading from
Cooper River to the market place [Broad]; S on Joseph Wragg; E on a little street
leading from Ashley River by Mr. JonesÕ lot; W on James Dugue. He described Lot
#186 as bounding E on a little street leading from Ashley River to Mr. Jones
lot; N & E on Mr. Crimston (formerly Jonas Bonhoste); W on part of the same
lot belonging to Mr. Dugue.[156]
#186 belonging to Mr. Dugue had been inherited by Peter Dugue in 1696 from the
estate of Jacques [James] Dugue.
The description of these two lots canÕt be reconciled with
the SCHM map of Charleston lots, which shows Lot #164 immediately north of Lot
#186. Also, the SCHM map would identify the James DuguŽ property west of #164
as Lot #116, for which there is no record of DuguŽ family ownership. However,
James DuguŽ was granted Lot #165; this could be that lot. It is also difficult
to imagine how Mr. Crimston could be east of Lot #186 if BrandÕs portion of that lot was a full one-half and
also fronted on King St., as described.
Thomas Rose Jr. was the earliest
grantee for Lot#228. [157]
Book A-A:503. In 1745 Henry Bedon and his wife Mary Ann sold
to Joseph Watson one-half of lot #228 in Charleston, bounding W on part of the
same lot (formerly William Smith); E on heirs of Elias Hancock (formerly John
Elliott); S on Tradd Street; N on Capt. Edward Croft (formerly Mr. Duque). It
is related that the property was granted in 1694 to Thomas Rose, whose heirs
sold to Henry Samways, whose heirs sold ½ the lot to Isaac Holmes,
bounding E on heirs of Elias Hancock; W on a lot formerly granted to William
Smith and belonging to Catherine Smith; N on Capt. Edward Croft (formerly
Duque), and that Isaac and Susanna Holmes in 1735 sold the half lot to Henry
Bedon, bounding W on part of lot #228 belonging to Isaac Holmes.[158]
Edward Croft had acquired the lot north of #228 by 1735, as
a deed in that year establishing the right-of-way of Friend Street shows.[159]
Edward Croft was a brother of Childermas Croft, who was involved in Indian
affairs and was one of the administrators of the estate of Joseph Pendarvis in
1735. The Croft family had ties to Jamaica; the 1731 will of Hill Croft
mentioned land in Jamaica left to him by his aunt Sarah Austine, bequeathed to
her by her father, John Childermas. Hill identified his brother Edward Croft,
merchant of Charleston, as executor with Charles Pinckney, and John Laurens,
saddler of Charleston, as guardian of his son.[160]
The 1745 deed by Bedon for Lot #228 is out of date with
respect to the bounding property on the north, although Bedon was aware that
the northern lot was no longer in the ownership of the DuguŽ family. In 1744
Edward Croft sold this property, identified by Croft as Lot #177, in two
parcels to Henry Ward and to Thomas Cooper (Charleston Deeds Book Z, p. 239 and
247).[161]
No reference to ownership of this lot by Jacques DuguŽ has
been found, and it was not part of his estate – unless it had previously
been recorded as Lot #165, a lot granted to Jacques DuguŽ for which no location
has been identified. If this was not Lot #165, it was likely purchased by Peter
or Isaac DuguŽ.
Lot #229 was originally granted
to John Elliott.[162]
Book F: 61. On 27 and 28 Feb 1726 Richard Grimston
transferred to Elias Hancock, vintner, lot #229 in Charleston containing
½ acre, purchased by Grimston from Thomas Dixon of James Island in Nov
1722. The property was described as Òbounding S on the little street leading
from Cooper River by Richard Tradd to George Keeling; N on ÒMr. DugeeÓ [ÒDugueÓ
in a second reference]; E on John Hill; W on Thomas Rose.Ó Witnesses were
Edward Croft, Robert Randall, Thomas Bartram, and John Croft. [163]
In 1746 (Book F-F:55) Alexander Chisolm and his wife Judith sold to Sarah Stoutenburgh, widow, Lot #229, containing ½ acre, Òbounding S on the little street leading from Cooper River by Richard TraddÕs to George Keeling; N on Mr. Dugu; E on John Hill; W on Thomas Rose; which lot was purchased by Elias Hancock from Richard Gunston and Elinor his wife on 28 Feb 1726. Witnesses were Daniel Donovan and John Cattell. [164]
The Sarah Stoutenburgh mentioned here, the wife/widow of
Luke Stoutenburgh, was the sister of Isaac Peronneau, who married Marianne
Fitch, daughter of Tobias Fitch and Marianne DuguŽ Fitch.
Both references identify ÒMr. DugueÓ as current owner of the
property to the north of Lot#229. However, the references to other bounding
property owners (Hill, Rose) were obsolete at this time. The Dugue property
north of Lot #229 might have been part of Lot #177 or could have been a
separate property. On the SCHM map of early Charleston lots it is located
immediately west of Lot #164, and could be Lot #165, owned by Jacque DuguŽ and
inherited by Peter Dugue in 1696.
In1701 a Lot#165 was among those included in the estate of
Peter Burtell, and was allocated to Nathaniel and Charlotte Henrietta
Broughton. It is uncertain whether the number actually refers to the same lot.
It seems unlikely that it was the same, since BroughtonÕs estate referred to a
continuous series of lot numbers beginning with #165, and there was no such
continuous series in this area.
Elizabeth was the youngest of Jacques and Elizabeth DuguŽÕs children, and the only one born in South Carolina. The reference given previously regarding the town lot sale by Isaac Dugue shows that Paul Trapier married Elizabeth DuguŽ, youngest daughter of Jacques DuguŽ. She was unmarried and a minor at the time of her fatherÕs death in 1696. Trapier lived at his plantation, La Grande Fontaine, said by the Rev. Paul Trapier to have been at Eutaw Springs. [165] Paul Trapier, Jr., is said to have been born at La Grande Fontaine in 1701, and in 1701 Eutaw Springs was the backcountry. This is unlikely at this early date unless Trapier was trading with Indians, or simply trading Indians. Even fourteen years later, when John Hearn was killed there by Indians, Eutaw Springs was beyond the boundary of permanent European settlement.
Paul Trapier, Jr., was the owner of many ships (or parts thereof), in partnership with Daniel Horry, Joseph Wragg (who married Judith Dubose) and others.[166] Their lands were originally on the Cooper River around Pooshy Swamp (Series: S111001 Volume - 0003 Page - 00135 Item - 02 Date: 1733/05/19). The family became wealthy. The Trapiers moved to the Georgetown SC area by 1740, where they were very successful in commerce.
Paul Trapier (grandson of Paul Trapier I and Elizabeth DuguŽ Trapier) was an executor of the estate of Anthony Bonneau III:

According to an on-line database by John James Simons III,
Paul Trapier [II] was also an executor for Anthony Bonneau IIIÕs wife, Margaret
Henrietta Horry Bonneau. Her 1758 will was witnessed by Joachim and Ann Zubly.
Joachim Zubly was a Swiss Reformed minister. He obtained a grant in New Windsor
Township in 1751.[167]
In 1758 he is mentioned in a grant to Sarah Lemar that also references Ulrick
Tobler as an adjacent landowner.[168]
Ulrich Tobler was the grandfather of Barbara Fuster, third wife of Joseph Dukes
of Orangeburg. However, Zubly also had property on the Wando River in Berkeley
County.[169] SCDAH
records also show property in Purrysburg in his name.
The Trapier-Bonneau connection continues a connection with
the Anthony Bonneau family line that is repeated over and over with DuguŽs and
D ukes in the lowcountry.
It is has been suggested that James Dugue, son of Jacques DuguŽ I, lived in the Goose Creek area. However, some of the relevant references are too late to refer to this individual.
A reference places a J. Dugue family at Goose Creek in 1702:[170]
Among the French families prominent in this region were those
of Antoine Prudhomme, John Boisseau, Abraham Fleury, Sieur de la Pleine, Peter
Bacot, Henry Bruneau, Abraham DuPont, Pierre Dassau, Isaac Fleury (alias De
France), Gideon Faucheraud, Elias Prioleau, Anthony Bonneau, Charles
Franchomme, Benjamin Godin, Francis Guerin, Benjamin Marion, John Postell, Dr.
Isaac Porcher, J. DuguŽ, Philip Trouillart, Paul Mazick, Isaac Peronneau, Ann
LeBrasseur, Elie Horry, and Zachariah Villepontoux.
This reference to ÒFrench familiesÓ might include the widow and child, or the property, of the deceased Jacques DuguŽ II. However, there is another more specific reference to a James Dugue in 1702, several years after the documented deaths of Jacques DuguŽ and his son James.[171]
But in April, 1702, they wrote once more to the proprietors saying that the Assembly was again in "violent heats" about the election, that two members from Colleton were challenged and that debate had put the House in the "same ferment as before", concluding their complaint with their lands already bought may "be secured to them and their heirs". The list contains the following French names: Noah Royer, Jonas Bonhost, Pierre Poinsett, Jr., Pierre Poinsett, Sr., Jourdain Colliandeau, [Elisha] Poinsett, James Dugue, James Dubose. James Lardine, Daniel Bonell, Jean le Birt, Abraham Le Sueur, Louis Tibou, A. Bonneau, Jean Girardeau, Peter Gaillard, Peter Colloando (Couillinado), Ann Vinne, [Londonderry] Corquett, Dan'l Duraso (DuRousseau); Mathu Garin, Paul Borquett, Noah Sere, John Potine, Philip Norman, James Serau, Augustin Varry, John Potell.
This anomaly in the records has not been explained.
A Samuel Dugue/Duke appears in Charleston records. He is not a part of the immediate family of Jacques DuguŽ, but it is reasonable to suppose that he was a relative of some kind.
Samuel Dugue is included in two
of the four 1702 lists of Frenchmen accused of voting illegally (when English
residents attempted to disenfranchise them):[172]
MS Assembly Journal 1682-1701, pp. 471-7. List 1: Mathew Guerin, John Bonneau, Peter Mailliet, Abraham Dupont, Isaac La Pierre, John Serau, Paul La Roche, Abr. Lesueur, Nicholas Longuemar, Peter Collineau, List 2: John Deveaux, John Juine, James Dumoe, Nicholas Boneil, Samuel Dugue, Peter Dutart (Dutarre); Peter Poitevine, Monsr. Morbeuff, Peter Filleaux, Peter Gideau, Benj. Marion. List 3: Mathew Guerin, John Bonneau, Peter Maillett, Abraham Juijon, Paul La Roche, Abraham Lesurier (Le Serrurier); Paul Battoane, Elias Verbans, Nicholas Languemar, Salloman Legare. List 4: John Deveaux, James Dunoe, Nicholas Boneil, Samuel Dugue, Peter Dutart, Peter Poitvine, Monsr. Marbeuff, Peter Villepontoux, Peter Videau, Benj. Marion, Peter Lesau, Sr., Anthony Poitvine, Ja. Lasad, Gideon Lisile [or Soule], Sam'l Lisle, Wm. Rouser (Rousourier).
The Council demanded on 4 Apr 1702 and 14 Apr 1702 that
various individuals appear and provide documentation of their right to vote.
Samuel Dugue was on these lists, along with David FaurŽ.[173]
The estate of Samuel ÒDuckesÓ was probated between 1716 and 1718.[174] This is the first documented use of a ÒkÓ rather than ÒgÓ in the surname. The original inventory document for Samuel DuguŽ has been lost. However, no later DuguŽ or Duke males in the area were named Samuel.
It is likely that Samuel Duke/Duckes was the minister who was transferred from Charleston to St. JohnÕs Berkeley in 1701 to provide a minister for the early Huguenot church there.[175] The church was located between the later locations of Biggins and Black Oak churches.
An interesting, although probably unrelated, entry on a website giving notices from the Western Flying Post and Sherborne and Yeovil Mercury is:
1778 02 Nov DuGue Samuel - Holy Trinity Exeter merchant
bankrupt
