XVI JANUARY, 1915 No. 1 OLD CHARLES TOWN AND ITS VICINITY, ACCABEE AND WAPPOO WHERE INDIGO WAS FIRST CULTI- VATED, WITH SOME ADJOINING PLACES IN OLD ST. ANDREWS PARISH. By Henry A. M. Smith. The original settlement by the English in South Carohna was at a point on the Southwest side of the Ashley river, at the place now known as Old Town plantation. At that place a creek makes in from the river running first generally to the Southwest, and then turning Northwest and forming a neck of land bounded Northeast by the marshes of Ashley river Southeast, South, and Southwest by this creek and its marshes, and Northwest by a narrow extent of high land capable then of easy defence. The river, as far at least as that point, was called by the native In- dians by a name spelled by the settlers variously as Keyawah, Kyawaw, Kayawah, Chyawhaw, Kiwaha, Kywaha, Keywaha, and Kiawah^ which last, viz., Kiawah, became later the accepted form; pronounced Kee-a-wah. As early as 1666 Robert Sanford in his exploration of the coast named the river "that leadeth into the country of Kywaha" the River Ashley ^'from the right Hon^^® Anthony Lord Ashley."^ Sandford appears to have alluded to the inlet that forms Charles- ton Harbour as he does not seem to have entered in far enough 1 Co//^« Hist.

HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE to be aware that the inlet was divided into two rivers by the peninsula now the site of the city of Charleston. Sometime early in April, 1670 (according to Carteret's relation^) the first ship with Governor Sayle reached Kiawah and selected the place just described for the settlement. The neck of land so settled upon they called ''Albemarle Point."^ On 20 Sept^ 1670, Florence O'Sullivan wrote to Lord Ashley, "We build our towne upon a point of land called Albemarle point seated upon the River that leads in from the sea called by us Ashley river,"^ and William Owen also writing to Lord Ashley on 15 Sepf, 1670, says, ''We have made choise for y® better having pitcht on a pointe defended by y® maine river with a brooke on y® one side, and inaccessible Marshe one y® other w*'^ att high tides is ever overflowne: ioying itself to y® mainland in a small neck not ex- ceeding fiftie yards which now is pallizadoed, and with a verye small charg might be made impregnable."^ On 1^* Novr, 1670, Lord Ashley writing to Joseph West in Caro- lina informs him, "you are to take notice that the River was by Captain Sandford long since named Ashley River and still is to be called soe, and the Towne you are now planted on we "^ have named and you are to call Charles Towne. Notwithstanding this notice (or perhaps because it was not sooner received) the town continued to be called "Albemarle Point" as late as March 1670/P but according to a memo, in the handwriting of John Locke made about August, 1671, he notes, ^'The towne cald Charlestowne"^ and Joseph West writing on 3'^ Sept^ 1671, dates his letter, "Charles Towne upon Ashley River."i« At that time some construction was under way in the town, for the Council in a letter to the Proprietors dated 21 March 1671/2 say, "We have with much adoe, our people being weake by reason of scarcity of provisions, pallasadoed about 9 acres of land, being a point, whereon we first set downe for our better security and mounted seaven great Gunns;" and "when we ar- rived here, we thought it most conducing to our safety to build 3 Coll''^ Hist.

"^^ The minutes of the first meeting of the Grand Council as now known to us records the meeting held 25 August, 1671, with Col. Joseph West as Governor and notes the meeting as held "at Charles Towne upon Ashley River" and the name Albemarle Point as applied to this first settlement seems to have ceased between March and August, 1671. There has been some confusion with regard to the application of the name "Albemarle Point." Governor William Sayle who died in the Province 4*^ March, 1670/1, left a will dated 30 Sepf 1670 whereby he devised to his son Nathaniel Sayle, "all that my Mansion House and Town Lot on Albemarle Point in the said Province of Carolina"^^ and on some old map on a very small scale, apparently this mansion house was placed as on the point where Wappoo creek enters Ashley river opposite the present City of Charleston which point was marked as Albemarle Point. The present writer was with others so misled.^^ Data which has later been made accessible proves this to be incorrect. Albe- marle Point was the point or neck of land selected as the place of first settlement and the mansion house of Governor Sayle re- ferred to in his will was almost without doubt in the town first known as Albemarle Point and later as Charles Town. The point of land at the junction of Wappoo creek and Ashley river was taken up first by Sir John Yeamans the Governor 1672-1674 who there had a house or "mansion" and some mixing as to the two governors and the dating of Sayle's letters from Albemarle Point doubtless caused the mistake.

  • Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay
    Journal of the Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science Volume 2 (no. 1) 2020 https://journals.troy.edu/index.php/JSAHMS/ Consumption and Compromise: Illness and Its Impact on the Political Career of Henry Clay David Petriello Lecturer, Department of History, Caldwell University, Caldwell, New Jersey, United States Email: [email protected] Abstract Henry Clay’s nearly fifty years of public service coincided with the social, economic, and territorial growth of the Early Republic. Though much has been made of the influences of geography and political philosophy on his accomplishments, little has been done in addressing the role played by his own health and various illnesses of the era. Disease and personal health issues were perhaps the greatest natural allies, catalysts, and limiting agents of Henry Clay’s accomplishments. Ill health helped to start his career under the tutelage of George Wythe, the deaths of his daughters while undertaking the seasonal journey from Kentucky to Congress pushed his ideas on internal improvements, and disease collided with several of his campaigns for the presidency. This article focuses on the personal letters of Henry Clay and those around him to discern their views on the various illnesses of his day and gauge their impact on his career. Keywords: United States, Henry Clay, public health Henry Clay once claimed that he would, “rather be right than be president,” a desire that would, perhaps unfortunately, come true for the indefatigable politician. Perhaps because of this he has largely been forgotten by the American public. Despite this, his nearly fifty years of public service spanned the most important events in the history of the early Republic, including the Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, the U.S.-Mexican War, and the various compromises that helped to slow the descent of the nation towards civil war.

  • South Carolina's Partisan
    SOWING THE SEEDS OF DISUNION: SOUTH CAROLINA’S PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS AND THE NULLIFICATION CRISIS, 1828-1833 by ERIKA JEAN PRIBANIC-SMITH A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Communication and Information Sciences in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Erika Jean Pribanic-Smith, 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Ultimately the first state to secede on the eve of the Civil War, South Carolina erupted in controversy following the 1828 passage of an act increasing duties on foreign imports for the protection of domestic industry. Most could agree that the tariff was unconstitutional, unequal in that it benefited the industrial North more than the agrarian South, and oppressive to plantation states that had to rely on expensive northern goods or foreign imports made more costly by the duties. Factions formed, however, based on recommended means of redress. Partisan newspapers of that era became vocal supporters of one faction or the other. What became the Free Trade Party by the end of the Nullification Crisis began as a loosely-organized group that called for unqualified resistance to what they perceived as a gross usurpation of power by the federal government. The Union Party grew out of a segment of the population that was loyal to the government and alarmed by their opposition’s disunion rhetoric. Strong at the start due to tariff panic and bolstered by John C. Calhoun’s “South Carolina Exposition and Protest,” the Free Trade Party lost ground when the Unionists successfully turned their overzealous disunion language against them in the 1830 city and state elections.

  • Origins of Methodist Publishing in America*
    ORIGINS OF METHODIST PUBLISHING IN AMERICA * By Leland D. Case The colophon of the Methodist Publishing House depicts a circuit­ riding preacher, book in hand, on a high-stepping steed striding over the words "Since 1789." A history of American Methodist publishing, upon which we are at work, is planned to cover a 175­ year span. Seemingly, it is a task Horatio Alger, Jr., might have envied us­ writing a business success story. It would start in 1789, that historic year when George Washington was inaugurated President in New York City where the five-year-old Methodist Episcopal Church of America also met and ordered John Dickins, a young Eton-schooled preacher with nose smudged by printer's ink, to go to Philadelphia and found the Methodist Book Conoern. This he did-and ever after its career has been onward and, usually, upward. In brief, that was it. But research barely began before we dis­ covered the Algerian formula failed to fit. The Methodist Book Con­ cern, now the Methodist Publishing House, did not erupt suddenly into existence under John Dickins' hand in 1789, like Minerva springing from the brow of Jupiter, fully formed, attired, and armed. Rather, it is a typical societal institution. It was born normally. It evolved from needs that elicited functional responses which by pragmatic selection firmed up into individual habits or group prac­ tices and eventually stiffened into systems and then, with special~ed labor iavailable, crystallized into a formal organization. Only in a limited way was early Methodist publishing in America an inde­ pendent invention, to borrow a term from ethnology, for it followed closely a pattern dev1eloped in England.

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).

Poston, Committee Chair Ashley Robbins Wilson Ralph C. Muldrow Robert D.

From the earliest days of the city’s historic preservation movement in the 1920s, preservationists have understood the importance of preserving elements of historic structures. In the early twentieth century, architectural elements were threatened by antique dealers and collectors of architecture who sought to purchase decorative elements, even out of standing houses. Buildings were also threatened with demolition as gas stations and other modern structures were constructed.
