    Theophilus Paty, as did many other men of wealth, left England and sailed to the Barbados Islands. Some say they were on their way to the new country and had to stop at the Islands because of the storm season. What ever, Theophilus stayed on the Island for several years.
    He met and married his wife Elizabeth Baker. He may not have been the only Paty to settle on the Island, as there are still members of this clan there today. He and his family moved to Charles Town, where his first home was built next door to the Governor. The first settlement had to be moved across the bay because of the huge storms or hurricanes that came almost yearly and flooded out the low laying land. Here Theophilu bought many town lots and other property on what is now called James Island.
    Bricks from parts of one of the main plantations that Theophilus built were used to rebuild the plantation house that stands today. It is now open to visitors and several movies have been filmed here, including parts of "Gone with the Wind". You can find information on it at: http//www. boonehallplantation.com
    Theophilus had a daughter, Elizabeth, who married Major John Boone. He gave the plantation to her as a wedding gift, thus it is now called Boone Hall.
