Thiot family.

Charles Thiot, planter and merchant, was born in France in 1755, and died June 8, 1808, in Savannah, Georgia, where he and his family were living by 1795. His son, Charles Thiot, was born in 1789, in St. Domingue (French Haiti) and his grandson, Charles Henry Alexander Thiot, was born January 9, 1822, in Savannah, Georgia. Charles Thiot (d. 1808) had a store on Grand Gosier, Saltrou, Haiti, and traded in North and South America. He was forced by slave insurrections to leave Haiti, move to Jamaica (1792), then move to Georgia, where he purchased a plantation (Knoxborough, 1805). The children of his son, Charles Thiot (b. 1789), lived for a time in Baltimore, Maryland (after the death of Charles' wife, Martha), while their father ran Roseville, his plantation in Effingham County, Georgia. One of his children, Charles Henry Alexander Thiot, who married Anna Nowlan Charlton (1850), continued to run Roseville. During the Civil War, Charles Henry Alexander Thiot served with the Chatham Artillery until he became ill (1862); he re-entered the service (1864) as part of the 1st Georgia Infantry and is believed to have died in North Carolina.
