The settlement of Pallachocolas, consisted of 200 people who landed in 1734 at Port Royal on a ship from England before proceeding to Pallachocolas. He states that some families in this area may date from this event.

On my Brunson line which appears on the 1800 Barnwell census and John A . Brunson's 1814 Will, on which his name is spelled Brunston. 1875 Capt Jones "Salt-Catchers in the Revolutionary War" listed 4 Brunstons. The 1820 Census names Brunson . The name Edger shows as last name in England and GA. And a name of Payton which is middle name of my family, I don’t were it came from, shows up in England and Ga. There are 4 Old Brunsons cemeteries within a 10 area that had been in Orangeburg Beaufort Allendale Hampton Co the cemeteries Didn’t Move. Brunsons were buried in these cemeteries before The Churchs were located there. In Barnwell land deeds back to 1785, we see Brunsons selling lot of land but buying very little. Where did the land come from?
On 11-12-1826, under oath, Elizabeth Brunson Hess declared that her father Alexander, a Continental soldier, was killed by the Tories the last month of the war and that his home was in Colleton District at the Cowpens (Leonardo Andrea, file for Brunson, S.C Arch.).
