Telephone 843.953.6846 Fax: 843.953.6956 ELLISON CAPERS PAPERS A1961.1 BIOGRAPHY From the Dictionary of American Biography Base Set. American Council of Learned Societies, 1928-1936. Ellison Capers (Oct. 14, 1837-Apr. 22, 1908), Confederate soldier, Episcopal bishop, was born in Charleston, South Carolina. His parents were William Capers and Susan (McGill) Capers. With the exception of two years in Oxford, Georgia, Ellison Capers spent his childhood and youth in Charleston, where he attended the two private schools and the high school. He received additional training in the Conference School, Cokesbury, and in Anderson Academy. In 1854 he entered the South Carolina Military Academy (The Citadel). He graduated in 1857 and taught for that year at The Citadel as an instructor in mathematics. In 1858, he served as principal of the preparatory department at Mt. Zion College, Winnsboro, South Carolina but returned to The Citadel in January 1859 as assistant professor of mathematics. The next month he married Charlotte Palmer of Cherry Grove Plantation. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Capers was elected major of a volunteer regiment which took part in the bombardment of Fort Sumter. This organization gave way to a permanent unit, the 24th South Carolina Infantry, of which Capers was 1 lieutenant-colonel. After two years of fighting in the Carolinas, the bloodiest occurring at the battles on James Island, the regiment was ordered in May 1863 to go with General Joseph E. Johnston to the relief of Vicksburg, Mississippi. From this time until the surrender at Bentonville, North Carolina, Capers was in the midst of hard campaigning and intense fighting.

  • Notes and Documents
    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS Thomas Paine's Response to Lord North's Speech on the British Peace Proposals Thomas Paine, whose book Common Sense proposed the formation of a "declaration for independence'* and stirred thousands to the cause of inde- pendence in 1776, supported the cause throughout the war effort with his American Crisis series of pamphlets and numerous newspaper publications. The newspapers played a crucial role in the American Revolution by supply- ing a war of words, which kept the colonists focused on their goal of inde- pendence. The printers had become active participants early in the war par- tially due to their anger at the British Stamp Act, which taxed newspapers.1 Writers, using multiple pseudonyms to mask their identities and produce an appearance of greater numbers, produced poems, essays, and letters for the newspapers to combat loyalists as well as the pernicious effects of fear and ignorance among the colonists.2 Paine's use of pseudonyms kept some of his newspaper contributions from being identified for many years. In 1951 A. Owen Aldridge identified a number of pieces, including an article written by Paine in York, Pennsyl- vania, on June 10,1778, and published in the Pennsylvania Gazette on June 13, 1778, signed "Common Sense," which had not been included in the published canon of Paine's writings.3 Similarly, it appears that Paine contrib- uted a letter and associated commentary in the April 25,1778, "Postscript" edition of the Pennsylvania Packet^ published in Lancaster, which has also been overlooked. Addressed to "R. L." and signed "T. P.," there is ample 1 Philip Davidson, Propaganda and the American Revolution 1763-1783 (Chapel Hill, 1941), 226.

  • President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another Year in the Round Table Is Coming to an End
    President's Message, April 26, 2017 Dear Civil War Enthusiast, Another year in the Round Table is coming to an end. The year has brought us many great speakers and terrific field trips. (Two trips subsidized by the South Carolina Humanities Council.) I was traveling in March and missed the trip to Fort Pulaski. Everyone I spoke to stated that it was a great day and that the stop on Tybee Island was very special. During this past season, we also had Hurricane Matthew that caused us to cancel our October meeting. While there was quite a bit of property damage, we survived and thrived. Our April speaker, Karen Abbott, received rave reviews. Thank you to the Programming Committee for finding these outstanding speakers. Now, it is May again, our final speaker of our regular season is upon us. Phil Leigh has a great subject and, my understanding, is that he will be bringing several of his published books for purchase. (Phil was initially scheduled for October.) May is also the time that, as required by the bylaws, I present the annual state of the club report. As you are aware our membership slipped significantly this year, and that has consequences. Further, it is time for the election of new officers for 2017-2018. (Please note that we still require a VP, Program Chair, and Hospitality Chair.) Do not hesitate to offer yourself to this service. The entire Executive Committee will support you. After an exhaustive process, Caroline Kennedy and Joe Roney are ready to announce our annual Scholarship winner, this will be our third recipient.

  • The ''Havoc of War'' and Its Aftermath in Revolutionary South Carolina
    The ''Havoc of War'' and its Aftermath in Revolutionary South Carolina by Jerome NADELHAFT* The approach of war between England and America inspired many privileged South Carolinians to announce their willingness to suffer for freedom's sake. They would move, disown America, or fight "rather than submit to tyranny.'' They did not ignore the possibility of dying, but since their cause was just, death would be noble, "generous", preferable to servitude. 1 That vision was shared by Richard Hutson, who wrote of the "awfully pleasing sight" of the British army and navy "most shamefully repulsed" when they attacked Charleston in 1776. Romantically, perhaps not inaccurately, he spread the tale of one sergeant, "McDougal by name," who "rivals Epaminondas in fame; when breathing his last, 'My brave lads,' he cries, 'I am just expiring, but for heaven's sake let not sweet liberty expire with me."' 2 Few Carolinians expressed an awareness that warfare consisted of more than noble gestures and deeds ; few seemed worried that military death could be inglorious. Josiah Smith, who was unwilling to submit "to the will & controul of a haughty and abaondoned sett of rulers," might have had such gloomy prospects in mind when he wrote that "horrible consequences" attended bloodshed. 3 So might Henry Laurens, whose son returned from England to fight and die in and for South Carolina. Ready "to hazard all ... [his] estate," Laurens worried that the British, encoura­ ging Indian attacks and slave insurrections, would cause the "most horri­ ble butcheries of innocent women & children," and that "civil discord between fellow citizens & neighbour Farmers" would lead to "fraud per­ jury & assassination." 4 Probably few people had the knowledge, or even willingness, to imagine the nature of South Carolina's Revolutionary War.

  • Wardlaw Family
    GENEALOGY OF THE WARDLAW FAMILY WITH SOME ACCOUNT OF OTHER FAMILIES WITH WHICH IT IS CONNECTED DATE MICROFILM GENEALOGICAL DEPARTMENT ITEM ON ROLL CAMERA NO CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS CATALOGUE NO. iKJJr/? 7-/02 ^s<m BY JOSEPH G. WARDLAW EXPLANATION OF CHARACTERS The letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H denote the generations beginning with Robert (Al). The large figures indicate the heads of families, or those especially mentioned in their generation. Each generation begins with 1 and continues in regular sequence. The small figures show number, according to birth, in each particular family. Children dying in infancy or early youth are not mentioned again in line with their brothers and sisters. As the work progressed, new material was received, which, in some measure, interfered with the plan above outlined. Many families named in the early generations have been lost in subsequent tracing, no information being available. By a little examination or study of the system, it will be found possible to trace the lineage of any person named in the book, through all generations back to Robert (Al). PREFACE For a number of years I mave been collecting data con­ cerning the Wardlaw and allied families. The work was un­ dertaken for my own satisfaction and pleasure, without thought of publication, but others learning of the material in my hands have urged that it be put into book form. I have had access to MSS. of my father and his brothers, Lewis, Frank and Robert, all practically one account, and presumably obtained from their father, James Wardlaw, who in turn doubtless received it from his father, Hugh.

  • Archaeology at Drayton Hall, 2005
    Unearthing the Past, Learning for the Future: Archaeology at Drayton Hall, 2005 By Martha Zierden and Ronald Anthony The Charleston Museum Archaeological Contributions 37 The Charleston Museum April 2006 Prepared for National Trust for Historic Preservation Drayton Hall Abstract A second season of archaeological testing was conducted by The Charleston Museum under grants from the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Additional testing was conducted at locus 22, building upon results of the 2003 testing program and the 2004 ground penetrating radar survey. Excavation of 29 units in the lawn northwest of the main house revealed additional post stains, interpreted as dwellings for enslaved African Americans. The testing also revealed the remains of two brick foundations. The first, measuring approximately 24’ by 44’, is interpreted as a barn. Only a portion of the second building was revealed, but it also appears to be non-domestic. Artifacts recovered from the site span the 18th century and first quarter of the 19th century. Excavations were conducted by students enrolled in the Archaeological Field School at the College of Charleston, co-directed by Barbara Borg (College of Charleston), Martha Zierden and Ronald Anthony of The Charleston Museum. ii Table of Contents Foreword . viii Chapter I: Introduction . 1 The Charleston Museum Project . 2 Research Topics . 4 Previous Research . 6 Archaeology and Historic Preservation . 7 Chapter II: Project Setting . 9 Site Description . 9 Development of City and Countryside . 11 Development of Drayton Hall . 14 Post-Revolutionary Prosperity . 17 The Civil War and Aftermath . 21 Post-War Changes . 22 Chapter III: Fieldwork . 25 General Field Methods . 25 Fieldwork .
