News and Reflections: Dateline South Carolina, 1758: Notice of financial reward posted for the return of one "lufty brown" Acadian exile, reported "DESERTED" -- August 3, 2023

8/3/2023

 
A notice in the South Carolina Gazette paints a picture of an unfortunate, and forcibly bound Acadian exile, John Peartree*, who, in July of 1758, had escaped from a South Carolina workhouse, deserted his owner, and was now on the run with a price on his head.

* The correct spellings of Acadian surnames, and the variants recorded for Acadian exiles in ship logs and civil records of the time are of particular interest to Acadian family researchers.  For example, records show  Acadian exile "Joseph Peters" (Joseph Pitre) arrived in South Carolina on the Sloop Endeavor, as recorded by James Nichols, Ship Master. The Acadian exile "Jean Poirier," who arrived on the Sloop Dolphin, along with several other Poirier, was recorded as "John Purye" by William Hancock, Ship Master.  

It is worth reading every page of Chapman James Milling's book, Exile without end (1943), to absorb the level of despair experienced at all levels by Acadian exiles in South Carolina, and possibly run across long-lost Acadian ancestors in the process: Milling, C. J. (Chapman James). (1943). Exile without an end. Columbia, S. C.: Bostick & Thornley.
