Note on Husband: Zechariah VILLAPONTOUX

Zecharia was a well known builder and made most of the bricks for St. Michael's Church, Charlestown, SC.

"St. Michael's, Charleston, 1751-1951", by George W. Williams, Pages 135, 137, 140, 144, 149, & 349.

 

From PLANTATIONS OF THE CAROLINA LOW COUNTRY:

Zachary Villepontoux was a builder, and made "excellent brick" which was

used to build St. Michael's church in Charleston. (p. 48)

 

Pompion Hill Chapel was designed and built by Zecharia. His initials are carved into the bricks on the sides of both doors.St.

Note on Wife: Amaria(Amelia?) PERKINS

Wright Bible does not say Perkins per say, per Elizabeth Thomas communication with author of Huguenot Descendants & Villepontoux Internet site, Virginia Marin.

Amelia Perkins parents may have come from Wales. She doesn't tie in with the other Huguenot Perkins that one finds from Connecticut, via France & Ireland & Scotland.
