GINDRAT FAlvIILY

of

SOUTH CAROLINA and GEORGIA

The early generations have been copied from a large chart prepared

in Switzerland some ye~rs ago. Abstracts from this chart were furnished

by Arnold Gindrat Talbot, of Germantown, Pennsylvania. There does not

appear any mention of where this family originally lived in France. They

were in Tran.salon, Canton of Berne, Switzerland prior to 1681.

We herewith extend our thanks to those who have cooperated in making

this record and particularly to Yr. Arnold G. Talbot, Mrs. Falba Counts,

Mrs. Wimberly, and Jlrs. Sally Thorington. For the copies of the deeds,

will, and other court re~ords in Charleston, s.c. credit with thanks

are due Miss Katherine B. Mazyck, Historian of the Huguenot Society of

South Carolina.

ABRAHAM . . (1) GINDRAT

of

PU RYS BURG, SOUTH CAROLINA

FOUNDER of the FA.MIL Y

AMERICA

Born in the Canton of Berne, Switzerland, baptized in 1713. He was one

of the immigrants of John Fury's colony and arrived in~south Carolina in

173i-1735. There is some mention that he had a brother, Pierre, who also

came to.America at the same time. The records do not disclose any men-

·tion of any one of the name except Abraham in the early days and this

tradition cannot be verified.

The earliest definite record of Abraham is that of a grant of

land containing fifty acres located in Purysburg, Granville County1

. ... . .. South Carolina and dated 16 September 1738 and under the name of ABRAHAli

JINDRA. ( Land Records, Columbia; s.c., also South Carolina Historical

1.

& Genee.logical Me.gaz ine., x, 216) Thi$ is the date of recording and the

la11d may have been awarded him at an earlier date• As he was only grant­

ed fifty acres it would appear that he was not married at that date. He

married prior to 1739 Susanne Marguerite, the daughter of Abraham TALLET.

The said Abraham Tallet had a daughter, Marianne, who married one

'

Stephen Vegneur~ and also a daughter, Catherine, who married one Morgin

and was a widow in 1759.

( Henry·2, Abraham 1.) Born Purysburg, South Carolina in 1764. He

. . moved te Bryan County, Georgia prior to 1786. Records· of Bryan County,

. '

Georgia. show "Sept. 1786 .Abraham Gindrat of Bryan County in a suit

against Paul H. 1Jllilkins." He married 17 March 1803 Barbara, daughter of

Willi~m Clark and Barbara McKay, born Georgia circa 1772 and widow of Wil­

liam Clark, not related. She was owner of a pla.~tation given her by _her

grandfather Captain J"ames McKaY· In March .1807 .the.re is another suit

Wood, executors of estate of Henry VtfoodJ Senior." He was a Justice of the

Inferior Court. In 1810 Samuel Dows and his wife Harriet petition -the

There· is a tradition that there were thirteen children in this family,

but from the date of marriage and date of death of Abraham Gindrat it is

quite evident some of the thirteen are Clark and nQt Gindrat children.

There were some four or five-Gindrat children all of whom died in infan-

cy except as given below. Abraham Gindrat died in 1811 and was buried on

his plantation, Barbara ~urvived him some years.but appears to have been

deceased before 1820. No record of Clark children.

orders as Colonel and Aide de eamp to General J. H. Forney,

on 26 May 1862 endorsed by General Forney for appointment

as second in emnmand of William Boyles Battallion, appoint-
