Josie.
According to # 180:
Purrysburg
". . . Among the refugees of this group who went to South Carolina,
during the early years of its history were, for example, the families
of Laurens, De la Bastie, Gautier (Cottier) (footnote), May, Leher,
Jean Francois Gignilliat, Pierre Robert, Honore Michaud, Jean Pierre
Pele, etc., but much larger numbers went under the alluring and oft
repeated solicitation of Jean Peter Purry . . ."
footnote: Cottier (also written Gautier) came from a respected peasant
family. Because of his peasant stock he was looked down upon by
fellow students at school. See Faust and Brumbaugh, II. 4. (Faust, A.
B., and Brumbaugh, G. M. Lists of Swiss Emigrants in the Eighteenth
Century to the American Colonies. 2 volumes. Washington, D. C.,
1920-1925.)

please send me a copy. my mystery is John James GOTEA this is the
spelling
in all records, but it may be GAUTHIER, GAUTIER, COTTIER, i think he
may
have come with a LAWRENCE or LAURENS, just guessing.
