Thomas, and as the first Episcopal church built out of 

 Charleston in 1703, on Pompion Hill, and the new 

 parish church, completed in 1709, were both convenient, 

 the young men of French parentage who understood 

 English constantly attended on the ministry of the 

 Rev. Mr. Hasell. " The books the society sent out to 

 be distributed by him were of great use, especially the 

 Common Prayer books, given to the young people of 

 the French and to Dissenters' children." (Humphrey.) 

 The greater part, however, continued to meet together 

 in a church of their own, built in 1708, whenever they

 parish, and to have a minister episcopally ordained 

 who should use the liturgy of the Church of England, 

 and preach to them in French. Thus this Huguenot 

 Church of Orange Quarter was absorbed by the Church 

 of England. 



There was another small settlement of Huguenots 

 on Goose Creek, which was perhaps older than the

 Kiver, by Anthony Cordes, M.D., who landed in 

 Charleston in 1686. It was composed of ten families, 

 which, though much scattered, were organized into a 

 Church under the pastoral care of the Rev. Florente 

 Philippe Trouillart, who had been the colleague of the 

 Kev. Mr. Priolau in the pastorship of the Church in 

 Charleston. "A good number of Churchmen had set-
