Thanks for all the help on the Nettles & Pegues. I have done some work on
the Nettles, not much. A cousin of my husband's had traced them back to
Scotland - said 2 brothers married 2 Irish colleens and came to America. I
know they were in SC (John, WIlliam, James Malachi - they migrated to AL, MS
where my husband was born. I had not heard they were Huguenots - will have
to look at this
