The DITMORE House - Meeting Street, Charleston, South Carolina:
[From: The Ditmore Center, http://www.ditmorecenter.com/modules.php?name=News&file=print&sid=23]
* Albert Ditmore home at 23 Meeting Street. Built circa 1750, this three and 1/2 story single house is believed to have been built by Albert Detmar/Ditmere or Ditmore. Relationship unknown. Perhaps an ancestor or relation of our John.
* Betje Heinrichson, Eliza's father, owned a home on Meeting Street. 1806 and 1807 editions of the City Directories for Charleston, S. C., shows him living on W. Meeting St. Road. By 1809 he had moved to Hampstead, but by the time he wrote his Will in 1818 he was back living on Meeting Street. Address unknown. (Note - he lived 6 dwellings away from John Ditmore on Meeting Street in 1810.)
* John Ditmore was listed as living on Meeting Street in the 1810 Census, and the Census shows the Ditmores living 6 dwellings away from J. Baetgin "Betje" Heinrichson (Eliza Hendrickson Ditmore's father). Does not give address number - but someone might be able to trace this information while in Charleston. We know that the Ditmore's and Heinrichson/Hendrickson families were supposed to have lived in the St. Philip's Parish section of Charleston, so this might help narrow down the location. The area they lived was also sometimes referred to as the Charleston Neck section.
