   George Baudoin was an example of thrifty Huguenot blood. He died shortly
after reaching Carolina, but left property in England and in America.[10]
   Arnaud Bruneau Escuyer Sieur de la Chabocière was one of the early settlers
at Wanthee, near Jamestown, on the Santee. At the time of his death, in 1694, he
owned more than 3,000 acres of land in addition to large quantities of personal
property. There, with his son, Paul Bruneau Sieur de Revedoux and his grandson,
Henry Bruneau, he had settled in 1690. These were persons "of quality" who were
driven from their rich estates ten miles from Poitiers, in France, probably
carrying with them some wealth.[11] The 3,000 acres mentioned in his will were
granted to Arnau Bruneau in recognition of services rendered to the proprietors
and for recognized merits.[12] But other property was also owned by the father.
Like others of his associates at this early period he expressed in his will the
hope of a restoration of the Reformed religion in France.[13]
