Henry Peronneau
The following is an excerpt from The Huguenots of Colonial South Carolina by Arthur Henry Hirsch:
Of the Peronneau family little is known, but it containe d several men of leadership and high moral character. Henry Peronneau, the e migrant, reached Carolina in 1687, an unnaturalized and undenizened alien. H is name does not appear in the 1696 list of naturalized foreigners, though h e was then in Charles Town. He was probably one of the number who chose rather t o remain alien than to swear allegiance to the Anglican Church and take th e sacrament according to the form prescribed by the Establishment, both of which were steps necessary in the routine of naturalization. The South Carolina Gazett e bears testimony to his fortune, his worth and "his fair character ".
Henry Peronneau and his wife, Desire, are both interred at the Circular Congregational Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
