.. http://sciway3.net/clark/jasper/Pelot.htm ..Rev. Francis Pelot.
The Pelot family of South Carolina, Georgia, & Florida, which Dr. J. G. B. Bulloch of Washington, DC. in the Transactions of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina classes as among the families which made that State, illustrious, was founded in America by the Rev. Francis Pelot, A. M., who was born at Norville, Stuttgart, Switzerland, 11 March, 1720.
His ancestors were people of political and financial consequence in Switzerland, and " he derived from them," as the Rev. Oliver Hart, the distinguished Baptist clergyman of Charleston says, "the right of Burghership, in his native town."
The Rev. Francis Pelot married, first, Miss Martha Sealy (a first cousin of the second wife of the Rev. Oliver Hart), a descendant of Joseph Sealy, Esq., an English settler with Lord Cardross in 1683, whose first plantation was on Edisto Island, South Carolina, but who about forty years later removed to Euhaw. (Near present day Grahamville, Jasper Co, SC.) Martha was a Daughter of John Sealy and his wife, Hannah.
He married, secondly, Catharine, widow of William Screven (Son of the Rev. William Screven), and Daughter of Justinius Stoll.(Hence comes the name of Stoll's alley, in CHARLESTON, SC.)
There is a plaque about him in the Huguenot church in Charleston SC. SEE.. http://www.huguenot-church.org/ ...
About Rev. FRANCIS PELOT...The year of his coming to America is said to have been 1734, and the Rev. Morgan Edwards, the founder of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, says that in 1772, He was the owner of three islands and 3,785 acres of land on the mainland of South Carolina, besides a large number of slaves, and "stock in abundance."
Although bred a Presbyterian, in 1744 he adopted the Baptist faith, and two years later, a plantation owner and a layman, he assumed the ministry of the Euhaw Church, on Indian Land. This church, which had had its beginning in 1683, had remained a dependency of the First Baptist Church of Charleston for sixty years, but had now been constituted a separate church....
Quoting from the manuscript-- diary (kept from 1740-1780) of the Rev. Oliver Hart, who was for more than thirty years pastor of the First Baptist Church in Charleston, South Carolina .." On Friday November ye 12, 1774, died my dear Friend and Brother the Rev. Francis Pelot.
A greater loss the Baptist Interest could not have sustained by the death of any one in the Province. His family, his Church, and the Neighborhood, will feel a sensible and irreparable loss.
And as to my own Part, I have lost the best Friend and counselor I ever was blest with in the world ; the most intimate friendship had subsisted betwixt us for about four and twenty years.
In all which Time I ever found him a faithful Friend, and qualified to give advice in the most critical cases.
This worthy man was born March 11, 1720, of a reputable family, in the town called Neuvavill, in Switzerland and came over to America (with his Father, Mother, Sister and Brother) Oct. 28, 1734.
They settled in Purrysburg, St. Helena Parish, Granville Co, SC. where his mother died about two years after their Arrival, and his Father died May 24, 1754.
See.. http://sciway3.net/clark/beaufort/purrysburg.htm .. PURRYSBURG
By 1752, Mr. Pelot had determined to enter the ministry as an ordained preacher, and on the thirteenth of January of that year he was ordained at Euhaw, and became the settled pastor of the church. In this capacity he remained, a notable figure in that part of South Carolina, and one of the most influential persons in the councils of the Baptist denomination, until his death in 1774.
