Notities over Josias DuPre

The family of Josias DuPre who were respectable people in France had to fly from thence to England at the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Josias DuPre brought two sons who were men of fashing, but they could not endure the labor of the axe and the splitting wedge, and returned to Europe.

Josias DuPre came to South Carolina in 1686, bringing at least one manservant and probably a numerous family. That was the year following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Almost the only immigrants to the Province were Huguenots, but they arrived in large numbers. It seems beyond doubt that DuPre' was of this group. In 1687, he was groomsman at a Huguenot wedding in the district later known as the French or Orange Quarter, and there he eventually took up the land to which his headrights entitled him. In 1697, "Josias Dupree sen, mercht , Josias Dupree Jr. shipwright, Cornelius Dupre planter", were among the foreign Protestants naturalized by the South Carolina Assembly. However, as no DuPre is on the St. Julien List of Huguenot congregations in South Carolina about 1696, it is probable that the family affiliated early with the: Anglican Church or one of the English dissenting sects. Unfortunately nothing is known of DuPre prior to his arrival here. Presumably, he brought sufficient stock to set up trade or, more probably, to continue from a new base part of the trading in which he had previously engaged.
