"Dr Anthony [Anglicized from Antoine] Cordes, the founder of the Cordes Family in Carolina, came to the province about 1685 and settled in what is now St. John's Parish, Berkeley County. In the next hundred years his descendants spread out along the Cooper River into St Stephen's Parish and over into St. James Santee. In the Ravenel Liste, which was probably prepared in 1695-6, his parents' names are given as Paul Cordes and Marie Dupeuch and his wife's name as Ester Balluet. He was born in Mazamet, Languedoc, France.
