Hello,

Looking for information on Joseph JOHNSON, owner of "Brickyard
Plantation", Ladies Island, SC.  

I believe he had a brickyard there, made bricks that were used in the
building of Beaufort's famous "Castle" - have heard he was also owner
of the Castle.

Was he a physician or was his son a doctor?  What happened to the
Plantation.  Is this "Brickyard Plantation" one and the same as the
"Broomfield Plantation"?

I've also read of a ferry crossing the Beaufort River between the
Brickyard Plantation Rd. and Beaufort town at a bend in the road.

What happened to Joseph Johnson and his family?

What is "Broomfield Plantation"?  What crops were grown there?

Thanks in advance for any information contributed.
