In the South Carolina Historical and Genealogical Magazine vol. 11, page 54, is the following information: "October 6, 1685* the undernamed officers of the Province took the following oath: 'Wee whose names are hereunto subscribed doe promise to beare faith and true allegiance to our Sovraigne Lord King James the Second his heires and Successors and fidelitie and submission to the Lords Proprietors and the forme of Goverment by them established by their Fundamental! Constitutions' Taking the oath were Anthony Poitevin, D. Trezevant, P. Dutartre." This date proves that the Poitevents left France before the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV, which occurred on October 21, 1685.
