There was another prominent Huguenot family from the Colonial period, Huger. Charleston has a Huger Street but in Charleston it is pronounced Hew-gee. BTW, the reason why there were Huguenot, and many Jewish families, in South Carolina is because South Carolina had a religious tolerance clause written in the Royal Charter.
