[5] Francis Le Jau wrote numerous letters to the Society for the SPG describing events that were taking place in the colony of South Carolina as well as his own activities.
Le Jau then mentions that his son took part in the June 13th counterattack led by George Chicken which ultimately drove the Catawba and their allies out of the Goose Creek region.
[5] Le Jau's son then went on to serve as an aide de camp under Lt. General Maurice Moore for the remainder of the Yamasee War.
Nevertheless, in his evangelization efforts, Jau compromised with slave owners who were concerned that Africans once baptized, would begin to conceptualize and apply freedom and equality to their abhorrent conditions.
Thus, Jau composed for African converts a mandatory reciting of the following baptismal vows: “You declare in the presence of God and before this congregation that you do not ask for holy baptism out of any design to free yourself from the Duty and Obedience you owe to your master while you live, but merely for the good of your soul and to partake of the Grace and Blessings promised to the Members of the church of Jesus Christ.” [6] Henriette Johnson was a painter, the wife of fellow missionary Gideon Johnson, and shared a French Huguenot background with Le Jau.
