City Council, 1783-19511 the 1783 Charter of the City of Charleston City Council, 1783-19511 The 1783 charter of the City of Charleston divided the city into thirteen wards, each represented by a warden elected annually during the first week in September. Voters chose an intendant from among the elected wardens to act as the chief administrative official. After 1808, the intendant was elected separately from the wardens. In 1836 the title of mayor replaced that of intendant and alderman that of warden. This arrangement continued until 1975 when the title of council member replaced that of alderman.

For more information on council members and aldermen prior to 1882 see: “Municipal Officers of the City of Charleston, 1783-1882,” in Year Book 1881: City of Charleston, South Carolina (Charleston: The News and Courier Book Presses, 1882), 367-377. Where possible, other sources including newspapers and secondary sources were referenced to fill gaps in the available data. 2 The City Yearbook, 1881 left Wards 10 and 13 blank, while an article published in the South-Carolina Weekly Gazette indicated “votes equal” in Ward 10, without listing the names of the candidates, and that no election was held in Ward 13.

It explores the meanings and effects of resistance within the context of the waterfront, the South Carolina plantation economy, and the wider Atlantic World. Focusing on the period that began with the major slave rebellion along the Stono River in 1739 and culminated with the 1785 incorporation of Charleston, this dissertation relies on newspapers, legislative journals, court records, and the private correspondence and business papers of merchants and planters to reveal the daily activities of waterfront workers as they interacted with each other, and with their employers and masters.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in South Carolina
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in South Carolina Tradition and continuity were hallmarks of South Carolina government and politics in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries and South Carolinians modeled their governmental institutions on earlier practices. Revolutionary legislator, physician, and historian David Ramsay claimed that when the state adopted a new constitution in 1776, “the policy of the rulers in departing as little as possible from ancient forms and names, made the change of sovereignty less perceptible.”1 Despite changes wrought by the Revolution, maintenance or appeals to old forms continued throughout the debate over the Constitution. In its first regular session after ratification, the state House of Representatives ordered a new gown for its speaker, “ornamented with velvet tassels, richly fringed” that was “an exact pattern of that worn by the speaker of the British house of commons.”2 Yet despite efforts to maintain “ancient forms and names,” the legacy of the Revolution, the rapid growth of the upcountry, and the economic challenges of the postwar era slowly brought change. Under the Lords Proprietors The roots of South Carolina’s institutions were planted in the West Indian islands of Barbados and Jamaica. Established as a proprietary colony in the 1620s, Barbados offered a few elite white men the opportunity to accumulate great wealth on sugar plantations worked by black slaves who, by 1652, constituted a majority of the island’s population. In 1663, when King Charles II granted a charter for a new North American colony south of Virginia to eight Lords Proprietors, some of whom were investors in the Barbadian enterprise, they had a colonial model at hand that could readily be applied to the new mainland colony that became South Carolina.

BULLOCH PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY CHANCELLOR AND HISTORIAN OF ORDER OF WASHINGTON EX-CHANCELLOR OF ARYAN ORDER CHIEF REGENT OF IMPERIAL ORuER 01' YELLOW ROSE MEMBER OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF GEORGIA EX-PRESIDENT OF SONS OF REVOLUTION OF FLORIDA .Author of The Bulloch Family and Copncctions; The Family of Bellinger and Deveaux and other Southern Families; The Stewart, Elliott and Dunwody Families; Baillie of Dunain; The Habersham and other Southern Families; Biographical .Sketch of Hon. Archibald Bulloch and other Articles; f.lf vcral Stories and M cdical and Sanitary A rticlcs. PREFACE. The study of genealogy and the compilation of articles on family history can be made very interesting if the genealogist looks upon himself not only as such but as an historian and scientist, for I maintain that the study of genealogy is not the mere tabulating of a lot of names, but embraces the study of history, eugenics-eugenics which of course takes into consideration not only heredity, peculiarities, and disease in­ cident thereto, but also enables one to compile a true history of events. Therefore the college and university should have a chair devoted to this study. We all know that one who merely takes a birdseye view of a battle can only see the general trend of the conflict, but that he who visits all parts of the field can study the salient features of the conflict and the parts taken by the individual and can deduce therefrom the reason why the enemy has been successful or has met defeat.

Description: 3 linear ft. Biographical/Historical note: The Baker family became established in South Carolina in the 17th century when Richard Baker (d. 1698) emigrated from Barbados and acquired large land holdings along the Ashley River. His grandson, Richard Baker (d. 1752), married Mary Bohun (d. 1736), daughter of Nicholas Bohun (and granddaughter of Edmund Bohun, 1645-1699); their residence was at Archdale Hall Plantation in Dorchester County, S.C. Their son, Richard Bohun Baker (1736-1783), was the next owner of Archdale Hall; he married Elizabeth Elliott (d. 1771), the daughter of Barnard Elliott (d. 1758), whose other children were Amarinthea Elliott and Barnard Elliott (d. 1778). Richard Bohun Baker's children by Elizabeth Elliott were: William Bohun Baker (died young); Elizabeth Elliott Baker; Mary Bohun Baker; Charlotte Bohun Baker; and Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), the heir of Archdale Hall, who married Harriett Hyrne. Harriett Hyrne Baker was the daughter of Mary and Henry Hyrne of neighboring Tipseeboo Plantation. Archdale Hall was next inherited by Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865), son of Richard Bohun Baker (1757-1837), who in turn devised it to his nephew Dr. Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1901). After his death Archdale Hall Plantation was acquired by Emma Drayton-Grimke, a great niece of Richard Bohun Baker (d. 1865). Emma Drayton-Grimke was the daughter of [Mr.] Sachtleben and Mary Bohun Baker; she married the Reverend John Drayton-Grimke, rector of St.
