" My last proven ancestor was William Hope (1769 SC-1856 GA).

I thought he was grandson of James Hope (1705-1776 SC), but can find no proper son/father. My Y-DNA even supports being in line of James Hope. LDS archives say my proven William (1769) was born Beaufort Co, SC but do not trust LDS and a son of James (1705) could have migrated South. Just found George Hope with land grant in Craven Co, SC dated 1772. Map research shows Craven area now part of Berkley or Charleston County, SC.

If my William came out of Beaufort/Charleston area, only logical he was through George with 1772 land Grant on Santee River. Who was George Hope of Craven Co, SC and where did his sons go? ^[3]
