Greetings from Florence Co. I'm thinking that they should be father south and
more to the coast than current Marion Co. (Georgetown, Charleston, early
Craven Co, etc.). From St. James Santee, Plantation Parish by Bridges &
Williams:

p. 408 "Hugh Horry of the Parish of Georgetown, Bachelor, and Sarah Bonneau of
the Parish of Georgetown, Widow, were married in the Dwelling- Houseof Mrs.
Sarah Bonneau of the Parish of Georgetown, by Licence, this Twenty third day

1. On the 7th Aug. 1707 Margaret Huger married Elias Horry. He was also a
French refuge and had fled Paris where he was born in the year 1664. He
survived his wife, died in Charleston in 1736 in his 72nd year and was buried
in the French Churchyard. Their children were 4 sons, Daniel, Elias, John and
Peter Horry and 2 daughters Henrietta who married Anthony Bonneau and Magdalen

has given this stone to be erected in memory of his grand- father Daniel
Huger--1820."

"Sepr. 11. Coll. Daniel Horry Sr. Planter."

p. 431 From the Parish Register
Burials 1785

There are numerous other references to the names Elias and Daniel (of several
generations).
