William HEDDERLY removed to Charleston from New York ca.1800. He set up as a 
bellhanger although his principal interest appears to be in the theatre. One 
particular interest was Mary Edwards, described as 'daughter of Mrs Edwards 
who was employed to wash silk stockings for the Theater of New York'. I 
believe he had a number of children by her. His wife was at that time living 
in Boston believing her husband to be dead. Any sighting of the name 
HEDDERLY, particularly relating to the Charleston Theatre, or birth or 
baptismal records, would be very gratefully received.
