Hi to Lannette ...
and to other DuBose & Witheringon Researchers...
I recently found the following DuBose names in the Alabama Genealogical Society
Magazine (Fall/Winter 2006) and was wondering if they could be connected to our CAPTAIN
PETER DuBOSE & LANEY WITHERINGTON.
Do you have anything on any of the following four names from early Darlington and how they
might connect?
It is amazing to me that the children of Kimbrough DuBose (listed below) were named for
Darlington figures & soldiers found during the Rev. War days of Captain Peter DuBose.
Must have been a "tight-knit" community!
..John Witherspoon DuBose (author of "Chronicles of the Canebrake 1817-1860"
..John W. DuBose (Cotton Planter, Civil War -1st AL Cavalry)
..James Henry DuBose, Darlington, SC (wife- Harriet Evans Pegues)
..Kimbrough Cassels DuBose, Darlington, SC (wife-Elizabeth Boykin Witherspoon)
Seven sons: John Witherspoon, James Henry, Jr., Eugene, Nicholas Williams, Francis
Marion, Lemuel Benton, Edwin Dargan. Four daughters: Louisa, Rosalie, Augusta & Adele
Keep in touch, Lannette.
And please send me info on the June DuBOSE REUNION for 2007.
Lynn and I plan to surprise you one of these days with a visit to Hartsville, Darlington
and Charleston!!!!

Bill, thank you so much for this!!! Hope all is well with you and yours. We'll be
having the DuBose Reunion here this summer....I think it's in June....they'll send out
info. I think this is the 5th or 6th one coming up. Had a wonderful time last year. We
went to the Jamestown(SC) area where they first started a colony (on the Santee River in
Berkeley County). There is a beautiful huge cross right on the very spot they built the
first church as soon as they got there. The cross was put up by the Huguenot Society in
the 1930's...they really were right on the Santee river....such a beautiful place. It's
private land now and we got permission from the owner to unlock this huge gate, and had to
go through a cow pasture and knee high weeds to ge there...but it was well worth it.....We
were in the Francis Marion Nat'l forest and they had maps for all of the area and where
they were settled etc. We went to several places. It was a strange feeling to be
standing on land right where my ancestors probably stood! Can't wait for the next
reunion!
