In Baird's HISTORY OF THE HUGUENOT EMIGRATION TO AMERICA, pages 296 and
297, ANTOINE BONNEAU is listed as having been born in La Rochelle, as
were these other South Carolina Huguenots: JEANNE BERCHAUD, JEAN BOYD,
HENRI & PAUL BRUNEAU, PIERRE BURETEL, ALEXANDRE AND HENRI CHASTEIGNIER,
CESAR MAUZE, HENRI PERONNEAU AND PIERRE VIDEAUL.

Antoine BONNEAU, he notes, was the son of Jean Bonneau and Catherine
ROI; his wife was CATHERINE du BLISS; and they with their children
Antoine and Jean-Henri who were also born in France, and their son Jacob
who was born in Carolina, applied to be naturalized in 1696. "Anthony
BONNEAU, senior, cooper, was ‘made free of this part of the province,'
by the Lords Proprietors of South Carolina, March 10, 1697. (An Act for
making Aliens free of this part of the province, and for granting
liberty of conscience to all Protestants. Trott's Laws of South
Carolina, p. 61.)" [ Quotation from Baird, p. 296, fn 4.]
