HUGER, Daniel
Daniel Huger (The Immigrant) and second of his name, "fled from France before the revocation of the edict of Nantes" - travel from Loudon, Turenne, France with other Huguenot refuges, possibly in 1692 or 1693 to Charleston with his wife and three children. It appears that the family of five traveled together from France. Probable Date of Arrival of Daniel Huger into Charleston, the land grant therein. Dalcho very erroneously attributes it to the year 1694 and assigns
the same date to the arrival of Daniel Huger. In the journals
of the Governor and Council, commencing from 1670 is the following
memorandum viz., Whereas, Benjamin Marion hath made it appear yt
he hath at his proper cost and charge imported into the province
of Carolina seven persons, aged above sixteen years, to plant and
inhabit in ye sd province, named Benjamin Marion, Judith, his wife,
Andrew Dealean, Madeleine Bulnatt, Mary and Nicholas, servants,
Toby, and Rosa, a negro woman, and persons under yt age mentioned,
ye names of all which persons were registered in ye Secretary's
office, within fourteen days after their arrival in ye province
aforesaid. You are therefore to survey and admeasure out for
the said Benjamin Marion, three hundred and fifty acres of land
according to ye rules and portions appointed by ye Lords Proprietors.
Instructions for granting of land bearing date ye 6th February,
1692, of which survey you are to make certificate, ye wch, together
with a plott of ye sd land, and you are to take notice yt if ye
sd Benjamin Marion doth not, within ye space of ninety days after
ye surveying and admeasuring out ye sd land of 350 acres, take out
grants for the same, according as it is appointed by the power to
me given and granted by William, Earl of Craven, Pallatine, Anthony,
Lord Ashley, George, Lord Carteret, Sir Peter Colleton, Baronet
; Lith Lothill, Tho Archdale and Thomas Amye, Esquires, for conveying
land that then ye sd land is free to be made choice of, surveyed
or granted to any other person whatever. This record would seem to determine the period of his arrival,
as having been between the 6th February, 1692-3, and the 13th March,
1693-4. Nothing conclusive, however, on the subject can be inferred
from it. The conjecture of Richard Yeadon is, therefore, probably
correct. By order of Tho. Smith, Governor, dated 1693-4, 300 acres
of land were admeasured and laid out for Isaac Caillabæuf,
he having, at his own expense, brought into the province the following
persons, etc., their names having been registered in the office
within fourteen days after their arrival, viz.: Isaac Caillabæuf,
Rachael Caillabæuf, his wife, Peter Gaillard, Magdalen Gaillard,
Mary Rambert, and James Bonneau. As early as the year 1686, Paul
Bruneau, whose name is in a catalogue of Huguenot refugees resident
on the Santee, was the owner of land in Carolina.
Exerpt from - The Swamp Fox 1732 is probably correct as the year of Francis's birth, but is not absolutely certain. Marion was of French extraction; his grandfather, Gabriel, left France soon after the revocation of the edict of Nantz, in 1685, on account of his being a Protestant, and retired from persecution to this new world, then a wilderness; no doubt under many distresses and dangers, and with few of the facilities with which emigrants settle new, but rich countries, at the present day Excerpt from the Swamp Fox ...In choosing his place of exile, it has been said that Gabriel Marion's thoughts were at first turned towards the West Indies. But it would appear that Heaven had decreed for him a different direction. For scarcely had he reached his home, much agitated about the means of getting off in time, before a letter was brought him from an intimate friend in Rochelle, informing him that a large ship, chartered for the Carolinas, by several wealthy Huguenot families, was then lying at anchor under the Isle de Rhee. Gratefully regarding this as a beckoning from heaven, they at once commenced their work, and prosecuted it with such spirit, that on the evening of the ninth day they embraced their weeping friends and went on board the ship. It is said that many of the most respectable families of Carolina -- the Gourdines, Hugers, Trapiers, Postells, Horrys, &c. came over in the same ship. The next day, the clouds began to bank the eastern sky, and
the winds to whistle from the hills. Pleased with the darkly rippling
waters the ready ship got home her anchors and loosed her sails.
Then wheeling before the freshening gale, she bid adieu to her native
shores, and on wings of widespread canvas, commenced her foaming
course for the western world.
