| This place has frequently changed hands. When first I new it, it was the residence of Mr. Peter Oliver, I think his only child. a daughter, married Mr. McDonald of Williamsburg. About 1826 it was purchased by Mrs. Catherine Porcher, widow of Philip Porcher of the Old Field and she resided on it until her death in 1833. Her two elder sons will appear hereafter. Her youngest son, Thomas Cordes. succeeded his mother after her death, and resided here until his death in 1861. Her youngest daughter Marianne Cordes, here married Isaac Dubose of Murrells. He died in 1832, and their only child. Marianne, married Col. E. M. Seabrook of Bulls Island. She was the mother of many children and died in Anderson in 1863. |
