Message Board Post:
Do you have anything on a James Child b in England came to South Carolina 1698?
I have the following taken from "Cities and Towns of Early South Carolina" by Henry A.M. Smith pg. 193 Childsbury
...custody for not delivering up an exemplification in his possession of a charter of several liberties and privileges granted to the Parish of Amersham by King Henry the Fourth, and that in consequence of this hard usage 'the said James Child was put to Exceeding Charges which with the loss of his Time and the Noise of his being a Prisoner and that the late Lord Chancellour had Threatended his Ruine made his Creditors call in their Moneys wherby he was forced to Abscond and to sell an Estate worth above 2000 l for 1800 l and hath at this time a Wife and Eight Children and nothing to depend on but the Charity of Friends.'
A note in the handwriting of John BAll of Kensingon stat4s that James Child being forced to fly came to South Carolina and that his son Isaac was the only son who came to America."
James Child's will only mentions his son Isaac and his children. which I have a copy of.
