Wes,
This may be part of the line you're researching. We just haven't gotten that far yet. It's interesting that you mention Goose Creek, SC. I've seen some documentation that states Arthur Lee was a Filipino. When I first saw it, I thought it was totally wrong. It could still be that however, I've heard there is a Filipino population in Goose Creek and that they've been there for a while.
We're still trying to connect the dots beyond Arthur Lee. Please keep us posted and we'll do the same.
