  HIST	Ann Magdalen Guignard, who m. William Richardson, was born in Charleston, SC, on 7 February 1750, the daughter of Gabriel Guignard and his second wife Frances de Liesseline. Gabriel was b. in France in 1708, migrated to Charleston and was naturalized a British citizen in 1741, and died in Charleston in 1757. He was a Huguenot. There is a plaque with his name on the wall of the French Huguenot church in Charleston. Ann was the first child of four born to Gabriel and Frances. They were all born in Charleston and lived in South Carolina their whole life long. William Richardson, son of Edward Richardson (who owned a brickyard in Charleston) and his wife Elizabeth Poinsett, was born in Charleston in 1743. He and Ann Magdalen Guignard were married in Charleston in 1768. Their oldest child, and possibly their second one, was born in Charleston. William eventually established the Bloom Hill Plantation in what is now Sumter County, where he moved his family. He & Ann had a total of 8 children, and all of them were raised at Bloom Hill. William was a Captain in the Revolution, was captured by the British in Charleston and paroled to his plantation, which he used as a supply depot for Gen. Francis Marion and his troops. William d. of yellow fever in 1786. Ann eventually moved in with her daughter Caroline (Mrs. James Sanders Guignard) in Columbia, SC, where she died in 1810. Her body was taken back to Bloom Hill where she is buried next to her husband. I have seen both their graves, as well as the records of the Church of the Holy Cross in Stateburg that mention her burial. Ann's two youngest children Emily (Mrs. John Ioor) and Bethia (Mrs. Moses Liddell) moved to Wilkinson County, Mississippi, in 1810, where they established their own families, some moving into the West Feliciana Parish in Louisiana.
