In Nell S. Graydon's book "Tales Of Edisto", pages 33-39, she describes
Lafayette's visit to Edisto Island in 1825. He visited the Seabrook
plantation. Seabrook's daughter, who was born during the visit was named in
his honor--Caroline Lafayette Seabrook

>Lafayette in 1777 after purchasing supplies and ammo in
>France, left from a port in Spain, west of Bayonne, and sailed for
>America.  He landed at Georgetown, Lafayette rode on horseback to
>Charlestown then Philadelphia.  I am not sure what happened to the crew
