Early SOUTH CAROLINA BUSH FAMILIES

Years ago I found a family with the last name of Buche(with an accent mark over the e)in a volumn of books about Hugenots. In stated that in 1732 the town of Purrysburg was founded of 400 acres along the Savannah River. In 1734 a company of 260 French and Swiss Hugenots came from Engalnd to Charles Town. 40 of these people were persecuted and poverty stricken refugees who had temporarily settled in the Piedmont. A collection was taken for them in England which netted them with tools, etc. One family was of interest to me:
Buche, Francois 45
Margaretta 50 sa femme
Jean Pierre 4 son fils
Dan'l Henry 1 son fils
Abram 2 son fils
Susanne 8 sa fille
I don't know if this might be another early Bush family or not. It is interesting that there is a Bush River in the Newberry District near Augusta, Ga.!
