CHINNERS

The family of Chinners is Huguenot. In the Huguenot Society of London

Publications,

French Non-Conformist Churches, Dublin, page 148 are the variations of the

name -

Chennâe, Chinar, Cheneu, etc., & one entry refers to Sinar, Sinnar.

THOMAS CHINER, Huguenot emigrâe, received a warrant for 200 acres, 24 June

1697

(Warrants 1692-1711, edited by A. S. Salley).

This would indicate arrival in Carolina circa 1697. Between the years

1704-1718, Thomas

Chinner-Thomas Chinners received by grant 1233 acres in Berkley County,

Province of

Carolina, (Original S. C. Grants, 1674-1773, microfilm S. C. Historical

Society). From the

same source, Elizabeth Chinner received 100 acres, Berkley County, 8 July

1704. She was

evidently the wife of Thomas Chinner.

There are two records in the R.M.C. Office, Chas., S. C. Bk. P-6:

Page 321 - John Midon and Thomas Chinners, Berkley County, Province of South

Carolina,

... 413 acres ... dated Nov. 1713, rec. Dec. 8 1795.

before recording.)

Page 322 - Deed of property from Thomas Chinners to Captain Peter Paul LeBas

& Renâe

Ravenel, Sr. of Berkley County ... dated 1715, rec. 1795.

(Note: Lapse of 80

Thomas Chinners was an Indian Trader as evidenced in the January 23, 1739,

entry in the

Journal of the Commons House of Assembly, "Read the Petition of Thomas

Chinner setting

forth that he had given Credit for sundry Necessaries supplied to the

Cherokees. That the

said Lucy being gone, and there being no Money in the Treasury, he prays

Relief, which was

referred to the Committee on Petitions and Accounts."

Thomas Chinners deceased in 1743, and the appraisement of his estate is in

Miscel. Records,
