A Rembert
Family of South Carolina
The Remberts were
Huguenots from France, and their immigrant to Charleston, S. C. was Andre' Rambert. He probably
arrived shortly after the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The family, in South Carolina is known
to have continued to use that spelling for over a 100 years...probably as long as they continued to
speak French. They settled in the near-coastal area of the lower Santee River known then as
Jamestown. Some came further inland, by 1750, to an area of Sumter County known as Rembert, located
between Sumter and Camden, S. C. Our
European cousins of French ancestry still spell the name "Rambert".
