PREFACE

Several members of the Pinckney Family have been distinguished for service to South Carolina and the United States. Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1722-1793) helped to make indigo, a major cash crop; she was the mother of two statesmen; and wrote numerous, engaging letters. Her son Thomas Pinckney (1750-1828) was a Minister to England from 1792-1796, a major general during the War of 1812, and a successful rice planter; his correspondence is the largest group in this collection. Also included are letters of other family members and friends, particularly Eliza’s son and daughter, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746-1825) and Harriott Pinckney Horry Rutledge (1780-1858). Only the lose papers have been calendared and a list of them is included for convenience; the bulk of the papers, the bound volumes, do not have item-level finding aids unless they are noted as part of the volume. Much of the correspondence in this collection has been edited and published in the Journals and Letters of Eliza Lucas Pinckney by Harriott Pinckney Rutledge Holbrook (1850), Eliza Lucas Pinckney, 1739-1769 by Elise Pinckney and Marvin R. Zahniser (1972), and the South Carolina Historical Magazine. “The diplomatic papers of Thomas Pinckney are now preserved in letter-press copies in the South Carolina Historical Society’s Collection at Charleston, in five folio ms. volumes. These include copies of the originals in the State Department, with additional supplementary material of considerable importance for understanding Pinckney’s mission in Spain.” (Pinckney’s Treaty by Samuel Flagg Bemis 1926). Additional information on the Family may be found in A Founding Family, the Pinckney’s of South Carolina by Frances Leigh Williams (1978). This collection of papers of five generations of the Pinckney Family of South Carolina has been acquired by both purchase and gift. The Society is especially grateful to Col. Alston Deas, Caroline Means, Beverly Middleton, Julien Mitchell, Frank H. Pinckney, Joesphine Pinckney, the estate of M. Morris Pinckney, the estate of Benjamin Huger Rutledge, Francis B. Stewart, and Forrest H. Sweet for their gifts.
