New Lecture Online | South Carolina Society: Rich in sacrifice and noble names

The South Carolina Society was founded predominantly by French Protestants (Huguenots) in 1736. Renée Marshall, Director of Genealogy and Research with The Huguenot Society of South Carolina, discusses the origins of the charitable society
as the Two-Bitt and its progression through the American Revolution. Enjoy the story of the French Protestant founders and their devotion to providing relief funds for fellow refugees. Poor children were clothed and educated by their bounty and widows and their children were maintained. Their Calvinist beliefs originating in France were exemplified by the generous actions of the Society.
