The peninsula formed by the Cooper and Wando Rivers, was probably settled by a few families, before Old
Charlestown was removed to Oyster Point. Gradually others found homes on the banks of both streams,
until about 1680 they had extended to the limit of navigation. These were chiefly from England. During the
next five years, thirty-two French families settled in the interior, mostly from French Quarter Creek to the
Cooper. The greater number had been sent to the Province by King Charles II., at his own expense, in two
vessels, at the earlier date. They cultivated the vine, olive and mulberry, and engaged in the manufacture of
wine, oil and silk. A small church was erected, in which divine worship was occasionally celebrated by the
Rev. Mr. Prioleau and the Rev. Dr. LeJeau. The services were well attended. The names of these Huguenot
families, as the earliest on record in the Parish Register, are supposed to have been Bonneau, Bochett, Bellin,
Bremar, Brabant, Bossard, Carriere, DuPre, Dutarque, DeLonguemar, Durant, Duberdeaux, Dubois, Guerin,
Joly, Jaudon, LeJeau, Leroux, Lesesne, Mouzon, Marbeuf, Poitvine, Roulain, St. Martin, Simons or
Symonds, Syer, Sallens, Tresvin, Verine, Verone, Videau and Warbeuf. If there is any public record extant of
the original grants of their lands, a more correct list might be made. *
