Subject: [Huguenot-L] Surnames connected to Purrysburg, S. C., Part 2
Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 09:05:44 -0600


To the list:
The following is part 2 of a surname list connected to the
Swiss/Huguenot settlement of Purrysburg, South Carolina. Some of
these names are not strictly Huguenot but were the names of
settlers who accompanied the 600 or so Swiss/French? colonists.
This list appears on the Purysburg Preservation Foundation's
application. I have used their spelling and capitalization. Some
of the names appear more than once as spelling variants.

Christians, Cobley, Collume, Colson, Coste, Cronenberger,
Croskeys, Cuillat, Cullet, Cusman, Daley, Dalescale, Daniels,
D'Roche, De Beaufin, Degallier, DeGallin, Dejean, Delagaye,
Delane, Delas, Delmestre, Delpont, De Mon Clare, Depp, De Pia, de
Pury, Derrick, De Roche, De Saussure, Detmeister, Detscher,
Dewees, Desaussure, Detmestre, Detscher, Detrevis, Devill,
Devision, Dewees, Ditmastre, Dominick, Donnatt, Dorff, Dromer,
Dubendorffer, Duberdosser, Dudmiller, Durham, DuPont, Dupra,
DuPuis, Dyssli, Early, Ecolier, Egnia, Ehrhardt, Elizard,
Elolier, Enderli, Engler, Erchards, Fahan, Fallet

More later from our trip to Purrysburg which was everything we
could have hoped for and more. We met so many gracious and
helpful people in Statesboro, Georgia, and Jasper County, South
Carolina. The large granite Cross marking the site of this
vanished settlement on the banks of the Savannah River would be
worth the trip for anyone of Huguenot descent.
