Togneri's in South Carolina

My daughter Elizabeth Dass posted some confusing info about our Togneri family.My great-grandfather, Joseph Louis Togneri arrived in Charleston, SC I would guess sometime after 1850.He had two wives, the first I believe died in childbirth.He married Kathleen O'Brian and had 3 sons, John, Joe, and Louis.John, I was told, had a daughter.I know nothing about Joe (possibly died young)unless he is your Joseph. Louis had one son, Louis Marion Togneri (my father) born in 1902.My grandfather Louis, died at age 24 right before my father was born.My grandmother was Frances Ellisor (called Fannie).I was named for her.I have one brother, Louis Michael who has 2 sons, Philip and Eric Louis.Eric and his wife gave birth to a son in May, 2000 and named his Joseph Louis without knowing anythings about my great-grandfather, Joseph Louis from Genoa.My older sister had a picture of the original Joseph that now is with the new Joseph.We know of no other Togneri relatives.My family is from the town of Graniteville, SC.(near Augusta, GA)If you want more information, contact me.
