Peter Manigault collection, 1745- ca. 1950 SCHS 436.00
Description: 18.75 linear ft.
Scope and Content: This collection chiefly consists of papers of the Manigault family and the Pringle family, as well as research material relating to these South Carolina families compiled by Richard N. Cote. A small portion of the collection represents the related families of Frost, Alston, Hayne, Mitchell, and Reid. The research material includes the Edward J. Pringle Collection (USC, Berkeley) on microfilm; photocopied material from the Alston-Pringle-Frost Papers at the South Carolina Historical Society; and Cote's research on the Miles Brewton House. Some of this collection was used as source material or produced as research for Cote's book "Mary's World" (published 2000) about the family of Mary and William Bull Pringle. Papers of the Manigault family include correspondence of Ann Mazyck Manigault (1821-1881), Arthur Middleton Manigault (1824-1886), Arthur Middleton Manigault (1851-1924), Charlotte Drayton Manigault (1781-1855), Joseph Manigault (1763-1843), Ann Manigault Taylor (1803-1864), and Thomas House Taylor (1799- 1867). There are also estate records, genealogical materials, journals, financial records, family bibles, plantation and slave records, numerous family photographs, a Richfield (Plantation) store account book (1882-1890) kept by Arthur M. Manigault (1851-1924), and legal and business documents. A plantation record book for White Oak Plantation and Ogilvie's Island lists the names of slaves and their children. Papers of Arthur Middleton Manigault (1824-1886) include military memoirs detailing his service in the Palmetto Regiment during the Mexican War (1846-1848), and in the 10th South Carolina Infantry Regiment during the War Between the States. Papers of Gabriel Manigault (1809-1888) mainly consist of letters and journals, including a journal of 1840-1842 which contains many entries pertaining to activities at a family plantation called Ogilvies. Papers of John Julius Pringle (1824-1901) and his family include correspondence (1840-1951), a scrapbook of newspaper clippings, and numerous photographs. Frost family papers consist of a bible, photographs, and a collection of 19th century children's books.
