I would like to exchange information with anyone researching the genealogy
or history of the Dorchester Society which migrated into South Carolina in
1695.  

Prior to the Carolina migration, the Dorchester Society emigrated in 1630
to found Dorchester, Mass., principally hailing from Devon, Dorcet, and
Somersetshire, England.  In 1635, what they later referred to as a "compact
Settlement and religious society"
for the most part removed itself to Mattaneang, now known as Windsor, in
Connecticut.  In 1695 the move to the Carolinas took place, to "up the
river some eighteen miles from Charleston, near the head of tide-water",
and then in 1752 another movement began as the Midway Colony, founding
Midway Congregational Church in Liberty County, GA.  

My primary interest is in the Donnom / Dunnom / Dunham / Denham family that
was part of the Dorchester Society, migrating from South Carolina to
Georgia in the 1750's, but I would like to exchange information with anyone
with an interest in the Dorchester Society, its families, and its various
migrations.
