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.

  • Allston-Alston, Georgetown Rice Plantations.Pdf
    GEORGETOWN Kjes TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS ALBERTA MOREL LACHICOTTE COLUiMBIA, S.C., 1955 S. C. STATE LIBRARY BOARD Arcadia TWO PLANTATIONS WHERE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED States were entertained, Clifton and Prospect Hill, now rest in impres sive dignity within Arcadias extensive boundaries. Both of these rice plantations entered history at an early date—at the very time that they were being groomed into low-country show places by the construction of fine mansions and the landscaping of gardens. George Washington stayed overnight at Clifton during his southern tour of 1791; and fol lowing him to Waccamaw in 1819, James Monroe was a guest at Prospect Hill, where his arrival and departure were staged with full pomp and circumstance. The main seat of Arcadia, owned at the present time by George Vanderbilt, is the original Prospect Plill mansion and gardens. From here the property fans out to include the former plantations of Clifton, Rose Hill, Forlorn Hope, George Hill, Fairfield, Oak Hill, and Ban- nockburn. It also reaches to the sea, taking in all of Debordieu Beaeh. During the ownership of Dr. Isaac E. Emerson of Baltimore from 1906 until 1931 the whole estate was given its present name of Arcadia. So prominently connected with Arcadia is the Allston (or Alston) family that the story of the plantation would be incomplete without at least a brief excursion into Allston history, for it was under this family that the place had its beginning. John and William, the first of the Allston male line to settle on Waccamaw Neck, acquired lands here through grants and purchases between 1730 and 1750.

    Saint Louis Mercantile Library Special Collections - Letters M-018 – Burr, Theodosia Extended History of Collection M-018 – Burr, Theodosia Special Thanks to Roman Beuc, Library Docent, for researching and compiling this document 1.0 Theodosia Bartow Burr-Alston (June 21, 1783 - c January 2/3, 1813) was the daughter and only child of Theodosia Stillwell Bartow Prevost-Burr (1746-1794) and the controversial U.S. Vice President Aaron Burr (1756-1836). (For clarity we will call the daughter of Burr and Theodosia, Theo) She was born in Albany, NY and raised in New York City. Theo’s mother, also named Theodosia, was the first wife of Aaron Burr. She, however, had previously been married to Col. James Mark Prevost (1736-1781), an officer in the British Army in America. They had had five children together, three daughters and two sons, John Bartow Prevost (1766-1825) and Augustine James Frederick Prevost (1767-1842) These five were step siblings of Theo. Theo’s education was very closely supervised by her mother and father They stressed mental discipline, rare for girls of her generation. Besides conventional subjects she studied arithmetic, Latin, Greek, French and English composition. She could read and write at three, and had read Gibbon’s Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire by age ten. She applied herself to English in the form of letters to Aaron Burr, which were returned to her promptly, with detailed criticism. At age ten (1794), her mother Theodosia died. Her father still closely supervised her social education. She has been called among the most educated women of her day.

  • Rutledge & Young Records, 1704-1887 SCHS 308.00
    Rutledge & Young records, 1704-1887 SCHS 308.00 Creator: Rutledge & Young (Charleston, S.C.) Description: ca. 14 linear ft. Biographical/historical note: Benjamin H. Rutledge (1829-1893) and Henry E. Young (1831- 1918) became law partners in Charleston in 1865. Their practice concentrated on estate administration and settlement, real estate transactions and disputes, debt collection, and other civil cases and procedures. Benjamin Huger Rutledge was an attorney, a South Carolina state representative, and Confederate officer. He was born in Stateburg, S.C., and in 1858 married Eleanor M. Middleton. That same year he was chosen captain of the Charleston Light Dragoons. In the Confederate Army he obtained the rank of colonel. After the war he resumed the practice of law in Charleston in partnership with Henry Edward Young. Rutledge was also active in state politics postwar and was asked by Governor Wade Hampton to raise a mounted brigade to protect citizens and preserve order. He was later appointed senior major general of the South Carolina state troops. Henry Edward Young was the son of Rev. Thomas John Young (1803-1852), the assistant minister of St. Michael’s Church in Charleston. He graduated from the College of Charleston in 1851 and subsequently studied law in Berlin. In 1855 he was admitted to the South Carolina bar. He obtained the rank of major in the Confederate Army and served on the staff of General Robert E.
