I’m doing genealogy on my surname and it leads to southern France to Huguenot ancestors but very difficult to research. They changed the spelling a few times and moved to England before they came here to the southern states. Poteet and Poteat were spelled differently but this is the surname linked. Thanks for sharing this.
I am trying to trace my ancestors back as well (previously Hair) and seem to have gotten to the one to arrive in SC first. The trail goes mostly cold from there. They apparently stopped in Barbados but i am unsure if they came from Virginia first, England, or directly from France.
I have traced one line back to the last name mizell, I done a little research and they were a group of Jews from Russia earlier on who escaped joined with Huguenot's and some changed the spelling of their last name. Don't know how true this is but maybe you can help me out
My ancestors were French Huguenots that came over on a British ship in the early 1600s. They had left France to England then to America as indentured servants at the Curls Neck plantation off the James River in Virginia.
We have a few lines of French Huguenot ancestry. My 11th ggf was Sir Robert Brassieur/Brashear II (b.1590 - 1665) of Carpentras, Vaucluse, Province - Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France (French Huguenot). That family line came to the Colony of Virginia no later than 1637 I read in documents. Other family members came and settled further South into the Carolinas. There also seem to be some French-Dutch lines with them from the Netherlands. I've traced some of the French-Dutch back to Canada marrying into Indian families/tribes.
My relative was Jacob Remy Son of Pierre Remy, son of Jaques Remy, son of (noble) Georges Remy son of Diedier Remy a French noble. He fled as a Huguenot to England had his lands in France seized, came to America as an indentured servant. Married his masters daughter, was freed, died with his own land and an American citizen. My grandfather LaFamond Reamy, his eventual grandson made his way to Texas where we are now. I Could've been nobility, at least I'm a Texan, I'll take that!
A DuBoise descendent from Horry County. As someone else mentioned the name has changed in spelling. I do believe my kin came from Normandy from a village now called Deippe.
This is the first I've heard of San Miguel de Gualdape. I did some reading on it and it is interesting. If I can find some primary sources, I will do a future episode.

@@briangraham3329very curious if you have any bibles before King James 1611? Of all bibles the King James makes the most consistent sense overall .....also the Basilica doron, gives sense that King James knew God, he gives all credit for being King to God, And says God is spring and mover of all earthly things, which matches Bible perfectly, but the ASV and ESV have taken out key words...
@@garyjaensch7143 I never read the Bible but my family Bible is definitely older then 1611. It is from the late 1500eds. The honorable King James did a great job. My family had access to the printing press with the idea before him but I have respect for king James and what he accomplished
I know some of this story. But, my question is @20:20 you say Hawkins was coming back from bringing Slaves from Africa to Hispaniola. What African slaves? How many? What part of Africa? Since he(Hawkins) was writing all this down. Also, Why would the natives give gifts to him? When they are at war with the French (who were also foreigners). These parts don’t make sense. Where is this history documented?
Excellent questions. The link in this comment is directed at the primary writing associated with M. John Hawkins. I only reviewed the section regarding his trip to SC for this podcast and not his trip to Africa. Hawkins was provided gifts from the natives presumably because they did not understand the relations between the English and the French at the time. Take a look at the link and let me know if that answers your questions. content.wisconsinhistory.org/digital/collection/aj/id/2189
They the renamed African slaves, had been expelled from Portugal and Spain. Under the Orders of Pope Nicholas he gave his Dum Diversas to make sure that every adult baptise their children into christanity. The Black-a-moors and Israelites basically same people refused, so has Portugal had garanteed the safety of the jews then many fled from all around Europe into Portugal or Africa or the America's. Ferdinhand king of Portugal was to marry Queen Isabella of Spain, she wanted them out, Ferdinhand's father a couple of years earlier had rounded up 700 children aged 2 to 14 put them onto ships and sent them to a place called Juda in Africa, any parents who had not commited suicide were sent to St kitts or St Thomas. Later on those 700 children where picked up and sent to America the first of the children of Judah as slaves. As they were not African but strangers, the Africans had no problem helping find and sell /swap the hebrews for some beads or wine. Look for ancient maps you will see Juda named as the slave coast.
love your videos. that being said, Ribault is pronounced somewhere between "reeboo and reebow" the L and T are silent letters. 90% of the letters in french words are silent. i might be exagerating a bit but... most english words with silent letters have a norman-french origin thanks to duke William the Bast... I mean William the "Conqueror" . Reebow.
For the life of me I've never understood why virtually every early European settlement experienced famine and starvation particularly since they were already accustomed to hunting fishing and foraging all manner of game birds fish shellfish and plants in the respective countries where they came from. That being the case I suspect that they were essentially under siege by the indigenous people whose territorieses they had encroached upon.
It's a great question. There are a few clues when you read some of the original writings. One issue was the total unfamiliarity with the places they were attempting to settle. In one of my early Plymouth episodes, I mention how William Bradford noted the absence of buildings when they came to MA and how they did not anticipate how that would affect their lives.
@@HistoricalContextUSA Thanks for your reply as well as the series. I can easily understand the colonists unfamiliarity with their new surroundings but I can't fathom how they didn't or couldn't exploit the vast array of subsistence resources surrounding them. The coastal zone is an amazingly resource rich environment and Europeans were well acquainted with it and familiar with exploiting it where they came from. I just can't understand how they couldn't harvest what it had to offer and get by quite well... unless they were restrained or prevented from doing so by the local people.
The first settlers were predominantly fleeing religious persecution. They could afford the fare; which meant they probably weren’t hunters and gatherers, but tradesmen even even aristocracy. It’s the Winter that gets them. Take a city dweller today and put him on an island and see if he can survive a merciless Winter.
Other videos I've seen on this Colony said they were upper class, lazy and expected stores to be resupplied. They didn't follow orders. Remember also - Mosquitos in swarms and illness they never encountered in Europe. Half of any Colony was sick at any given time. The 800 that were brought were brought to do work. They included artisans and indentured servants, some from parts of Europe and the Middle East. It is tempting and plausible to think some people from this Colony deserted and joined with natives. It may explain certain European and Middle Eastern DNA in groups like the NC Turks. The Colonists themselves at Fort Caroline record finding Spanish merchant/pirate deserters already living with the Natives when making relations.
My family are huguenots some escatped to uk uk germany, russia and canada. Some usa colonies, and canadian were french first but as normal for that period uk was at war with france and drove them out. I live in uk
It's interesting that Spain's economy went downhill, considering the vast amounts of treasure they had plundered from the 'New World'; however, they went on a spending binge - and spent way more than they took in. They ran up such a massive trade deficit that they implemented import restrictions; as well, they enacted 'practicas' (sumpuary laws) to prevent people from dressing and living beyond their means.
Another major factor in their economic decline was due to, and the result of, the Hildago system (essentially a 'good old boy' network) where nobels conferred aristocratic status to friends/allies of theirs; esp, those who had done favors for them. This practice essentially created a non-working class, who lived the high life - at the expense of those whose taxes they lived off of.
@@HistoricalContextUSA They say history repeats itself, and we have put ourselves in a very similar situation. As an aside, back in the day, one was treated by others based upon their clothing, particularly. People who dressed above their station were treated as higher class; thus, when they passed themselves off as nobility they were treated as such: they were given food, drink, lodging, etc. This was another reason the Practicas were enacted in Spain (and sumpuary laws in England).
@@HistoricalContextUSA I hear that: class differences were so rigid - nearly a caste system - they had to enforce those distinctions for the elites to maintain their status. I kinda admire highwaymen, who'd waylay the rich, take and wear their clothes, and pass themselves off as nobility at inns and taverns in villages down the road. Like that scene in the (Russell Crowe) Robinhood movie where they wear the knights attire, and are treated as such.
I am french and descendant of old huguenot family from Bordeaux and La Rochelle. Huguenots were calvinists not lutherians. I know I have ancestors who left France for America.
SC has a small French Creole culture no different than Louisiana yet it goes unnoticed. I'm over 12% French due to my family from SC. That's a percentage more than I see many Louisiana Creoles on TH-cam. My French side eventually would migrate from SC to Mississippi, Texas, Louisiana and California. They married mainly black, Mexican, and puerto Ricans

When the settlers at Fort Caroline went out to meet with the Natives there were already a few Europeans living amongst them. Pirates had had contact well before any of the major Spanish of French groups did. The Spanish easily overtook Fort Caroline because they impossibly marched through swamps in the same Hurricane that sunk the French fleet and surprise attacked the Fort. They marched the artisans and servants to their own fort to the South with many dying and descendants of these people live in that part of Florida till today.
@@JohnChrysostom101 It's 100% proven and highly documented. The roster of the Colony documented there were many artisans and laborers from the Mediterranean. The wife of one of the main backers was Turkish Royalty. There are people living in Saint Augustine today who are called Minorcans (Greeks) who trace their DNA directly from the many captives brought there from this colony. So....Doubt this.
People crying about Luthrens vs Calvanists it all started with Luther period so no protestants today if not for Martin Luther the Original from Germany not the Communist from America lol
