For Betty Dawn DuBose Hamilton and anyone interested in the book "Swamp
Fox", "The life and campaigns of General Francis Marion" -  Copyright 1959
by Roberrt Duncan Bass, copyright 1974 by The Sandlapper Store, Inc., first
published by Henry Holt and Company.  This edition (mine) published by
Sandlapper Publishing Co., Inc., P.O. Box 1932, Orangeburg, South Carolina
29116-1932, 3rd printing, 1982.  It may be available at bookstores.  Since I
am just down the street from Sandlapper in Orangeburg, I'll check on
availability and post another message.

The index shows two mentions of DuBose, here are the quotes:  "He often
visited among his brothers and enjoyed the society of the Cordes, Peyres,
DuBoses, Gourdins, Horrys, Mazycks, Porchers and other Huguenots."  also, in
response to orders from William Moultrie, dated November 19, 1775:  "Away
marched Captain Marion, with Lieutenants Baker, DuBose, and Shubrick and
with sixty-four men of his company and thirty-eight of Huger's."  This is in
regard to reinforcing  troops at Dorchester, getting the arsenal straightend
up and guarding and defending it.  Could the Lieutenant DuBose be John's
son? I wonder if my Jeremiah Jones was one of the privates?  He was with
Marion "off and on" - between farming, or other reasons for a trip back to
Darlington District.
