This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

My Dear Son^*— ^
The 27^*> Ult? I addressed you from Sunbury in Georgia
by the Mermaid Capt Yowart & the same day proceeded
to Wright's Savanna where I found full employment for
five days, thence came foiward by the Inland passage &
reached our old home the 4^^ Ins^ having lodged not above
three Nights in full view of the most beautiful Ceiling in
the universe — I found among many other Letters which
were waiting for me yours of the 3? January, I cannot pay
the particular attention to it at present which is due; ^tis
only four days you see since my arrival or return here &
every hour of the time has been fully engaged; relading
& returning the Canoe which you know is a tedious piece of
business, attendance on Committees, listning to long details
& solicitations to serve in the old character of sober Arbi-
trator, visiting your Uncle & Sister who are both unwell with
other affairs have reduced me to Candle light Saturday
Night & at the same time I feel a sincere inclination to be
lazy for the remainder of the Week, I want to sit quietly by
yon fireside & to avoid even the fatigue of thinking —
let it suffice therefore that I tell you, I am safe at home and
in perfect good health with allowance for the circumstances
above mentioned — Remember me to all friends I shall
pay my respects very soon to several of them, i)articularly
Salute the Dear Boys your Brothers with kisses & caresses

9/10 !.^» in fact Charles Town tis a Trading City ivill be

These are but a few of the Grand Articles which are to
come before us — upon some Mens minds the consideration

Fraser, I hare no doabt of its reaching von even if Lord North
or LeDespeufier should first fathora its Innocent contents — the
opportunity bj which this is to be sent is offered to me very
suddenly & nnexpectedly by Capt Innis^ who assures me
that my Letters shall pass unopened — I thank him for his
politeness & friendship* but the Eing*s Decypherer must be
very cunning if he is able to pick a plot out of my £pistle8,
notwithstanding each of them contains at least one & some of
them contain more — at present however my Treason will be
very plain, I am jnst risen from Dinner am stinted to a min-
ute for delivery of my Letters, & perceive that I have writ-
ten to your Uncle what I might better have said to you &
that I must fill up part of a page by writing to you what
should have been more properly the subject of conversation
with him, between both, though badly arranged, you will
receive the intelligence our To\yn affords without one word
to justify the scandalous imputation which his Majesty has
thrown upon us of Rebellion —
Our Summer hitherto has heev. pleasant^ constant breezes
from Sea or fresh Land Winds have conducted us safely
through the Month of June & we have entered July with as
much temperance as reasonable beings in Lat: 32 & 45. can
wish for. — I do not know what business the Medical Field
may have in general — in my own domains thank God they
have none — but the Sextons if nothing better for them hap-
pens must soon come upon the Parish — Liberty & Cool
weather are friendly to the Lungs —
Some time ago we dreaded from the vast falls of Rain
the total loss of our Crops of Rice & indeed a few are totally
lost, but in general from a favourable change they are now
good & if no disaster happens in Earing or Harvest will be
as large as usual, the Indian Corn is still better, Wheat
abundant and Indigo very well but what of all tliis in a port

LETTERS FROM HON. HENRY LAURENS TO HIS SON JOHN. 13
My Garden looks as charmingly as a Garden can look with-
out its proper Guests, I have indeed vast increase of Mocking
Birds. Grapes plentiful, peaches Ripe sooner & Nectarines
better than common & very line, Figs Damsons & plumbs in
abundance, Old Stcpny always sober, & daily refreshing
showers, but alas! what al-e these without my best friends
without my Sons and my Daughters — I will say no more on
this head, but turn my Eye more attentively to your Letter
of the 5'^ May ^ Harford & Jennings of the 25 April — the
little Rogue writes a good hand & by your aid will advance
if not excel in other branches of useful learning —
I am glad you are "better pleased with the Law as you ad-
vance in the Study*' once persuade yourself of the necessity
for studying & you will really advance & really be pleased.
— otherwise you may experience a worse necessity- -nothing
more need be said to you than — Do, what you know you
ought to do — lift up your Eyes to the Bench, to eminent
Character, withdraw them from Idle amusements & grovel-
ing indulgences, emulate great & good Men & you will do
Honour to your Father, to your Country & to the founder of
a great Family, do you give diligence & you will have no
cause to blame nature nor fortune.
Harry's progress is very j^leasing to me, stimulate those
Dear Boys by every means in your power to be diligent &
to improve in their learning, but let them & let their Coun-
try reap some fruit from their Father's endeavours to give
them good Education — but the minute approaches, 7 oClock
James says is the latest Capt Luiis can keep his Packet open
for me, I must in a word repeat, take care of your Brothers
of your Sisters, take care of yourself, but let me hear from
you by all possible opportunities & never omit to inform me
of every essential matter in our American affairs as far as
you can learn You apprehend a bloody event to our dis-
putes there is now room to dread it more than ever, but I do
not retreat as danger approaches, I only pray that God will
enable me in eveiy trial to do my Duty — all will be well

again my Son — the people in England, I mean the Ruling
people, are wrong, they will be convinced of it ere long —
our Constitution admits of putting such Rulers aside & re-

wrote, my best respects to them &rto every other friend.

RECORDS OF THE REGIMENTS OF THE SOUTH
CAROLINA LINE, CONTINENTAL ESTABLISH-
MENT.
[In June, 1775, the Ist, Provincial Congress of South
Carolina raised two regiraents of foot and one of rangers for
the defense of the Province in case the British Government
slionld attempt coersive measures against the Province. In
November, 1775, the 2d. Provincial Congress added a regi-
ment of artillery ^ and in February, 1776, the same body
added two regiraents of rifles. By resolutions of tlie Conti
Dental Congress of June 18th. and July 24, 1076, and of the
General Assembly of South Carolina of September 20, 1776,
these six regiments were taken upon the Continental Estab-
lishment as South Carolina's quota, although they made a
larger force than Congress demanded of South Carolina —
larger than the relative population of the State warranted.
The regiment of rangers was subserjuently converted into
infantry, and on February 11, 1780, the Ave infantry regi-
ments were consolidated into three by order of Gen.
Lincx)ln.* The records of these various regiments are scat-
tered. Many of them are in the Record and Pension Oftice
of the War Department; others are in the liauds of libraries
and historical societies; others are in private hands and still
others have been irretrievablv lost. Many of them are in
possession of the Soutli Carolina Historical Society and those
are herewith given in chronological order.]

[account of the church in south CAROLINA.]
A memorial relating to the State of tlie Church of England
in the Province of South Carolina, offered humbly to the
consideration of the Hon^}® Society for Propagating the Gos-
pel in Foreign Parts. *
By their humble and faithful Missionary
Sam! Thomas.
The first and chief Parish in South Carolina is Charles Town
which is a large Parish and hath a very honourable mainte-
nance for the Minister, but it i)eing at present under the pasr
toral care of M"" Marston who hath been there for five years.
I forbear to say anythin*< of its inha'bitants or their senti-
ments, as to religion.
The next Parish to Charles Town is Goose Creek ^ one of the
most populous of our Country Parishbs containing (as near
as I can guess) ai)out 120 faniilys in which Parish live many
persons of con8iderai)le note for figure and Estate in the

Conntrj, many of which are concerned in the Government
as Members of the Council and Assembly, most of these In-
habitants are of the profession of the Church of England,
excepting about five farailys of French Protestants who are
Calvinists and 3. Farailys of Presbyterians and two Anabap-
tists.
Here is a small Church for some years erected by some few
of the Chief Inhabitants in which they had divine service
and sermons & sacraments as often as they could procure a
Minister to oflSciate. I officiated there constantly once a
quarter at which times I always administered the Blessed
iSacrament of the Lords Supper, the number of Communi-
cants were about 30. of which one was a Christian Negro
man.
The Church of Goosecreek was very well frequented as often
as any of our Ministers officiated there. The number of
Heathen Slaves in this Parish I suppose to be about 200.
twenty of which I observe to come constantly to church, and
these and several others of them well understand the English
tongue and can read.
The next Parish to Goose Creek is that upon the western
branch of Cooper River, in this Parish there are two gen-
eral Settlements, one called by the name of Watboe and the
other called Wampee; this parish contains about seaventy
families, there was no church in this Parish during my stay
in Carolina, but there is a church now building in this and
every other Parish by order of the Government, who have
by an Act of Assembly appropriated several sums for this
end, In this Parish I officiated one Lord's day in the month
& one week day in the month, in some of the Planters houses
or in the summer under some green tree in some airy place
made convenient for Minister and people.
There are in this Parish about forty families of the profes-
sion of the Church of England, and 80. Families who dissent
from the Church, these are more generally Anabaptists, and
they have a preacher of that sort among them, one Lord's

day in three; my congregation here consisted of about 80.
persons and sometimes near 100. the Dissenters frequently
making a very considerable part thereof, they coming to our
Churches when their own Ministers did not preach. The
number ot communicants with the church of England were
20. the number of heathen slaves in this Parish are about 180.
three only of w*:^ are christians. The next Parish to this is
situated upon the eastern branch of Cooper river which Par-
ibh I by order of the Hon^3® Governor had the care of and
did constantly officiate in 3. Lord's days in 4 throughout the
year and two week days in a month, tlie number of Inhabit-
ants in this Parish are about 100. families 80. of which are
of the profession of the Church of England & about 20. J)ifc-
senters from the Church, 17. of which Presbyterians, 2.
Anai>aptists, and 1. Quaker.
The number of those who attended constantly upon the Lord's
day service were generally 100. and upon those days on
which the Lord's Supper was administered 140. The num-
r)er of Comunicants in this Parish 45, the number of hea-
then slaves 200. of which 20. have by my encouragement
Jearned to read and I hope by God's grace will with many
others be fitted for Baptism and the Lord s Supper upon
my return. Here i*^ one church already erectea (since my
arrival) by the peculiar direction and religious care of Sir
Nathaniel Johnson and at the charge of the Parish. The
next Parish to this is situated ui)on a river called Wandoe,
and contains about 100. families, 00. uf which are oi the
profession of the Church of England and ahout 40. Dissent-
ers from the Church which arc Prcbbyterians; licre lias liten
a small church for sometime erected, but the Pcoi)le has
never had a constant Minister, The congregation when there
is a Minister to officiate consists of ai)ont 70. The Lord's
Supper has never iieen administered: the nnni'her of slaves
may be about 100. not one of them Christian or preparing
for it.
The next Parish to this is situated upon Ashly river and con-

tains about 100. families, in this Parish there never hath been
a Minister settled, so that at present bat few of the People
are in the interest of the Chnreh of England; here are in
this Parish many Presbyterians and Anabaptists, and but
aboDt 30. families of the profession of the Church of Eng-
land. Here has been no church nor has the Lord's Supper
ever been administered here: the number of slaves may be
about 150. but one of them a Christian which I instructed
and baptized.
The last Parish in Carolina is situated upon a river called
Scono, it is very large and extensive being the only Parish
in that County, which we call Colleton County, in the South-
ern parts of this Parish are settled about 60. families of Dis-
senters, Presbyterians and Anabaptists, but in the northern
part thereof near Charles Town are about 40. families who
profess themselves of the Church of England, here is no
(yhurch nor Minister, the Lord's Supper hath never been ad-
ministered here: In this Parish are about 150. slaves not
any of them Christians.
I crave leave further to acquaint this Hon^J® Society that the
Province of S. Carolina is but very lately divided into Par-
ishes by Act of Assembly procured by the religious care of
our present excellent Governor Sir Nathaniel Johnson, and
that it is entirely owing to him and the present Members of
the Council and Assembly tliat there are any salaries settled
upon Ministers of the Church of England, for there being so
many Dissenters in the Province (many of which liave always
been in the Government) it was a work of no small difficulty
to get an Act to pass in favour of the Church of England
clergy, especially for their having a publick salary, which
those who dissent from us. violently oppose in those parts of
the world.
The present Government of South Carolina hath given us a
very high instance of their zeal and affection for the Church
of England as by law established, in what they have at
present done for the encouragement of the i)ublick worship
DOCUMENTS OONCRRNING REV. SAMUEL THOMAS. 35
of God according to our most excellent Church, for the
present war having obliged ns to be at very great charges in
fortifying our Town, and in providing Stores of ammunition
to prevent our being surprized hy the enemy, these with some
other occasional charges had so emptyed the Treasury that it
was indeed a work of almost insuperable difficulty to get a
fund appropriated to the Service of the Church.
South Carolina is but an infant Colony, and their Treasury
at best but small out of which they have at present appro-
priated £2000. to the service of the Church for the building
six churches, and as many parsonage houses, and buying
Glybe land, so that for every particular Parish, the Pu])lick
disburse €333. and £50. annually for all the six Parishes,
which considering the present circumstances is very extra-
ordinary, and perhaps such instances of zeal can hardly be
paralled in those parts of the world.
I now i>eg leave to offer eonie brief remarks upon this ac
count of the state of the Church in South Carolina to the
consideration of this honorable Society.
First^ By this account it is sadly evident how destitute our
Brethren of the Church of England in South Carolina are of
spiritual guides and Pnbiick Ordinances, and in how much
danger they are of famishing in grace for want of the word
and aacramonts, or to bo led aside to error while destitute of
the public ministry to confirm them in the truth, for as cir-
cumstances are at present in this our Province not one person
in 20. among those who profess themselves of the Church of
England can have ordinarily, the benefit of the word and sac-
raments from a church of England minister, the Dissenters
have at present 4 ministers jinion^j: them besides one Anabap-
tist Preacher lately gone in to Carolina from Biddiford in
the West of England, and I am informed that 3. or 4. more
dissenting Ministers are goiii(r for Cjiroliiui in the Spring, all
which (I humbly conceive) makes it very needful that our
church of England mem'hers he provi<led with pious and
painful divines such as will live exemplarily and j)n»ach ])rac-

tically and constantly, and catechise frequently 1 hat so their
people may not be tempted to put themselves under the con-
duct of those who differ from us, as we have great reason to
believe they will jf they see themselves neglected.
I further remark to this Hon|»^« Society that altho' the Pro-
vince of Carolina hath done very much for the encourage-
ment of Church of England Ministers (considering their
present circumstances) yet is the provision which they have
made but mean in itselfe, and such as will scarce support a
Minister and his family if there, much less will it be any
motive to clergymen to leave England and to submit to the
fatigues of a long and hazardous voyage while they are in any
tollerable circumstances here in England, for the salary
which the Country allows is but £50. ^ annum in Carolina
money which makes but about £33. sterling and the Parishes
not being populous their perquisites will not amount to any-
thing considerable. It is therefore humbly begged that this
venerable Society would out of their moet Christian charity
and noble bounty think of making some augmentations to
these salarys or of continuing an annual assistance to these
Ministers which they in their great wisdom & goodness
shall think most fit and I cannot but inform this hon^'®

Board that the Government of Carolina hath assured me
that as soon as it is possible to be done and their circum-
stances will admit, they will themselves by an additional Act

very liberal considering the circumstances of the Province) is
not sufficient to encourage any person to settle there with a
Family. 1 further remark to this Hon^l® Society who I well
know delight in doing good and will rejoice to liear that the
Church and Kingdom of Christ are enlarged that from the
account that Ijath been given there seems to be a prospect of
bringing many of the Indian and Negroe slaves to the know-
ledge and practice of Christianity, I have here presumed to
give an account of 1000. slaves belonging to our English in
Carolina, many of which are well aifected to Christianity so
far as they know of it, and are desirous of Christian know-
ledge and seem to be willing to prepare themselves for it in
learning to read for wiiich they redeem time from their la-
bour, many of them can read in the Bible distinctly and
great numbers of them were learning when I left the Prov-
ince, and that which I have often reHecled upon with pleas-
sure is, that among many of our ignorant slaves there is a
great freedom from immorality, so that in some Plantations
of fifty or sixty slaves we find not a drunkard, nor a profane
swearer among them, which aversion to vice, I hope maj' be
some preparation for Christian virtues, when they shall
know their duty and obligations thereunto and the means of
attaining them, now if every one of these Parishes be so
happy as to have a prudent, pious and zealous minister set-
tled in it, they might very easily redeem time from their
fetudys for the instruction of these poor slaves and I verily
belie ire and hope by God's ]>lessing many of these might be
brought into the folds of (Hirist, were we so liai)py as to have
men of true piety, zeal and })ru(lence sent upon this evangeli-
cal design. There ih but one remark more whicrh I shall
trouble this ven^!** Bodv with, and that is tliu diilerent tem-
per which a Minister in tlie Province of ('arolina will find in
the people belonging to liis charge, tor here in every Parish
are many professing Christianity and many heathens, among

mean in their attainments, again there are some truly re-
ligions and conscientious and others haters of religion and
practical Godliness: yet further there are some who are
heartily in the interest of the Church of England, and un-
derstand and approve its constitutions, and there are others
who are not positively determined as to their choice who
have not actually put themselves under the Conduct of either
our Ministers or of those who differ from us, and there are
lastly more than a f»3w that do dissent from us and join in
comunion with the Presbyterians, Independants and Ana-
baptists of all which there are considerable nura])ers in the
Country, and this I humbly remark to this ven^?® Society
that hereby they may bo the more sensible of the necessity
there is of their Missionarys being duly qualified to treat with
all possible advantage with Persons of this differing temper
and profession. I humbly say that I found by experience
that by a diligent application in the dutys of my Function, and
with the blessing of God upon my endeavours, the labours
of my ministry have been effectual upon those under my
charge. I count it no small happyness that I have been en-
gaged in this Christian .employment under the encourage-
ment of this Ven^^® Society and I now return to offer not
only my own thanks for their generous allowance but also
the thanks of the whole Province who are very sensible of
the obligations they owe to this hon?^® Society and indeed
during the whole time of my Mission I have had such fre-
quent and blessed opportunities of doing good and such real
love and respect from my People that I purpose with all speed
to return thither with my wife and children, and tho' the
maintenance already settled be but small for the provision
of a family, and the transporting my family will bo a very
great charge and burthen, yet I dou])t not init God's Provi-
dence will support me comfortjii)ly, and I humbly recom-
mend my present circumstances to the consideration of this

P. S. There is one thing more which I think it my duty
to observe to this HonV^® Society and it is a relation J re-

who acquainted me that the last year, there went out Bat-
cbelors of Arts near 20. yonng men from their college, all
or most of whom he assured me would gladly have accepted
episcopal Ordination if we had been so happy as to
have had a Bishop in America from whom they might have
received it, but being discouraged at the trouble and charge
of coming for England, they accepted of authoritys from
the Dissenting Ministers and are all dispersed in that way.

the unjust and false charges brouglit against me by M' Ed-
ward Marston Minister of Charles Town in South Carolina
in a late printed letter of his, I have not seen or read the
said letter, but the substance of those partieulai-s which con-
cent mjself were read by the most reverend President in
the Vestry at S^ Lawrence the last time you convened there,
and are as foUoweth.
1. That I did not settle among the Yamonsee Indians ac-
.. cording to your design in sending me.
2. That I removed Mf Kendal who he intimates upon my
.. arrival and proceedings became distracted.
3. He would insinuate that my ignorance of the Canons and
Constitutions of the Church of England and want of cour-
age to reprove vice, were the things which most recom-
mended me to the favour of the Government.
I beg leave to make the following answer
First, as to my not going among the Yamonsee Indians, I
acknowledge that the circumstances of these poor was men-
tioned to me by my Lord of London and Df Braj- before I
left this Kingdom, they were represented as a sort of civil-
ized Indians well disposed for tl)e reception of Christianity,
and I must confess that I thought tlie design of bringing
poor dark heathens to the Knowledge of Christ and his holy
religion by w^.^ they may attain eternal salvation, did appear
to me so highly acceptable to Almighty God, that I was very
glad of and much affected with my mission and did design
to pursue it with great vigor and an humble dependance
upon Almighty God for Ilis assistance and blessing.
By the great Providence of God I arrived safe in the
Province of South Carolina, upon the day of our Blessed
Lord's nativityAimo Din. 1702. at which time war being
proclaimed with France and Spain I found these very In-
dians in conjunction with our Carolina Forces gone upon an
Expedition to S^ Augustin a Spanish Fort in Florida about
300. miles from our English Settlements in South Carolina,
they did indeed in a short time after my arrival return from
DOCUMENTS CONCERNING BEV. SAMuKL THOMAS. 41
•
thiri Expedition, but they beiug settled upon our Frontiers
between us and the Spanish Indians, having been engaged in
a state of war ever since nothing being more coiniaon than
their and the Spanish Indians making frequent incursions
npoii each other in the Night, that all Persons who knew
these Indians assured me that they had neither leisure or dis-
positions to attend to Christian Instructions, and that a Mis-
sionary could not in this time of war reside among them
without tlie utmost hazard of his life, it being common for
the Spanish Indians to steal upon them in the night and kill
Bome and take others Prisoners, and these Prisoners are some
of them burnt alive and others sold to the Spaniards for
slaves; this was one great discouragement to my settlement
among them during this war.
Secondly that the Indians understood not the English tongue,
that their language is barbarous, savage and extream diffi-
cult to attain, there being no grammar or rules for the learn-
ing that particular Indian tongue, so that it would probably
take up one year at least to attain any tollerable knowledge
thereof, and then even when one has attained to a perfection
therein, yet is this language utterly void of such terms as we
express the most necessary truths of Christian religion in,
they have no word for God or Heaven, or Kingdom for a
Mediator or for his death and satisfaction, and many other
things of greatest importance in Christian Religion, and this
I was fully convinced of by a Translation of the Lords
Prayer into that language which was performed by a gentle-
man who had long traded among tlieni and was a com pleat
master of their tongue, where insted of Our Father which
art in heaven, the best j^ense that he could make of it in
their words was, Our Father whi(;h art a top, and instead of
Thy Kingdom come, he tranlat»:s thy great Town come,
which I conceive are very improper expressions to convey
to them the genuine sen.-e of tliis most divine prayer, the
great improbability of anv snccess upon this account also was
another discouragement to my settling among them.
42 so. CA. HISTORICAL AND OKNKALOGICAL MAGAZINE.
Thirdly I did not settle among the Indians because I found
as great numbers of Heathens who stood in equal need of
Christian Instruction and were much more capable of re-
ceiving it than these Indians, I mean the Negroe and In-
dian Slaves in our Parishes.
The several Nations of Indians in Carolina are generally
small, most of them not consisting of more than fifty, the
Vamonsea Indians are indeed more numerous there being, as
I am informed near 200. of them. Admit then that a Mis-
sionary were qualified to converse with them in their own
tongue, yet would he after all his pains be capacitated to
treat with but one Nation of Indians, and if that one Nation
will not hearken to Instruction (as we have just reason to
fear) then is all his labour in attaining their tongue lost, for
every Nation of Indians lias a diflferent dialect and that so
independant on each other that the being a perfect master
of one Indian Tongue is not the least advantage toward the
knowledge of another, so that suppose I had denyed myself
the comforts of my life as a Christian, the benefits I mean of
•God's Ordinances publickly dispensed, and had hazarded
my life and health by living among these poor Savages, and
in one years time had made myself perfect master of their
Tongue, after all I should have been capacitated to treat
with one Nation of Indians only, and yet as I observed before
have been at a very great loss for words to have expressed
things of highest concern, Whereas there are in the Pro-
vince of South Carolina somewhat more than one thousand
slaves, eight hundred of which can speak English toUeiably
well, and are capable of Christian Instruction, many of 'em
are desirous of Christian knowledge, great numbers of these
can come to the places of our Publick Worship, and as I have
formerly acquainted this VenV^® Body, there is a probability
of enlarging the Church and Kingdom of our dear Lord very
considerably by bringing these heathens to the faith, whenever
we shall be so happy as to have our Parishes supplied by
men of true piety and zeal, who will with great diligence
IXKJUMBNTS CONCERNING RKV. SAMUEL THOMAS. 43
and an hamblc dependance upon Alniightj' God set about it.
Of these heathen Slaves I iiad in the Parish of which I was
Minister at 200. a number greater than tliat of the Yamon-
sea Indians and I had a much fairer prospect of doing good
among them than among the Indiars. If it be asked what
service I have done among these Heathen Slaves, I answer,
I prevailed with several of them to cease their ordinary woik
upon the Lord's day, a thing very comnjon among them be-
fore my time J I persuaded them to put them selves under
the means of Publick Christian Instruction, many of them
by my encourageml have learned to read, 1 informed seve-
ral of them in their duty to God and to one another, and I
found they made conscience of practising accordingl}-, some
few of them by my instructions became delirious of baptism
and by God's blessing upon my endeavours lit subjects of
that Holy Institution, accordingly I admitted them into the
Church thereby, and that I did not much more for them in
which I might have been like to have had success was not for
want of a will but for w-ant of leisure and opportunity being
obliged to such frequent exercises of the dutys of my Func-
tion among our English Settlers as I shall show more fully in
my next particular; this then is the third reason which I
offer for the satisfaction of this Ilonl*^® Body why I did not
go among the Yamonsea Indians, i)ecause I found a greater
number of poor heathens in the Parisli where the Providence
of God directed my residence who were more capable of re-
ceiving Instruction than the Indians, and more like to be
influenced by it. Certainly all endeavours of propagating
Christian religion among Ileatliens are very laudable in the
sight of God and good men, but I beg the freedom to say
that I am well assured that any impartial man who knowelh
our American Plantations, must and will say, that it is as great
a charity and mucli more ])racticable to propagate Christi-
anity among our poor .shives in our own Plantations as
among the wild Indian^ in the woods, and will further eon-
elude with mo that if Missionaryjj be sent to seek Indians in
44 so. OA. HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE.
tlie Woods and our poor slaves be neglected at home, as
they have been for time past, then the fairest prospect of
promoting Christian Knowledge is neglected, and that pur-
sued which is attended with insuperable difficulties and the
highest improbabilities, I further add that I verily believe
this Honor^^® Society will lind by experience that those Mis-
sionarys which they send among and confine to the Indians
will but lose time and receive their salarye for no service.
Fourthly, the last reason which T humbly ofiPer to your con-
sideration for my not pursuing my Mission to the Indians is
the great and pressing necessitys of many of our poor Chris-
tian Brethren in that Province w^ho were in a spiritual sense
almost famished for want of the word & Sacraments.
Soon after my arrival in the Province of South Carolina 1
went to wait upon our Governor Sir Nathaniel Johnson, who
after he had informed me of the impossibility of fulfilling
my Mission as it related to the In iians for the reasons first
mentioned, with very great kindness invited my residence at
his house to officiate duly as Chaplain and to read Prayers,
preach and administer the Holy Sacrament to his Neigh-
bours upon the Lord's day, who stood in very great need of
Ministerial Instruction; Sf Nathaniel lives at the head of
Cooper River, a river the best settled of any in the Country,
and from his dwelling down so far as Charles Town which
is near sixty miles in length are some hundreds of Eng-
lish settled, and here was no Minister beside myself: 1
found the first time I ])reacljed amongst them that my poor
labours were very acceptable to them, and did excite in them
a vehement thirst after God's Ordinances ministeriallv dis-
peuRcd These People tiad never enjoyed a settled
Minister, the Lord's Supper had not once been
administered to them (many of their children were un-
baptized, a great nnmber of people for want of spiritual
guides were gone over to the Anai)a])tists and to other Sec-
taries and which is vet worse many of 'en) had almost laid
aside the profession of religion and forgot that they were
DOCUMENTS C?ONCEENINO EEV. SAMUEL THOMAS. 45
Christians by name, the Lord's day was ahuoet universally
profaned, and many scandalous irregularities abounded,
Children were brought up in the grossest ignorance for want
of catechizing, in a word the people who were born of Chris-
tian parents, being in such a wilderness and so destitute of
spiritual guides, and all tho- means of Grace were making
near approaches to that heathenism which is to be found
among Negroes and Indians; in this deplorable state I found
many in this poor Province, but finding them desirous of my
poor assistance, and there being no other Minister in the
Province from whom they could have help I did conclude it
my duty to continue among them and Lam very well assured
this Hon^'® Society would have concluded so too, had they
been eye witnesses of their misery as I myself was.
I doubt not but you will grant that to ]>revent the growth of
impiety & heathenism among Christians, is a service by
which Almighty God is as highly honored as by propagating
Christianity among heathens themselves, pious and serious
persons in the Province did exj)ressly declare to myself and
others upon all proper occasions that I certainly did that
which most redoun'd to the honour of Almighty God the
true interest of religion, and they thought to the satisfaction
of my Sui>eriors too, by staying among the poor distressed
English who knew how to prize and improve njy ministerial
labours.
If it be asked how I employed my time and what service I
did among these English I answer I bless (lod His grace
enabled me to show myself a diligent and faithful Missionary
among them. The parish was lar;^e and 1 was o])liired to
preach to three congregations so that I could i)e with each
congregation but one Lord's day in three, and finding that
the people stood in need of more constant instruction I
preached a lecture on the week day to that Congregation from
whom I had been absent n])on tlie Loid's day, so that I had
three sermons to preach every week on tlie Lord's day I read
morning & evening service and ])reached both parts of the
40 Si). CA. HISTORICAL AND GKNEAIXXHCAL MAGAZINE.
<lav and catechized and ex|)]ained the Catechism every Lord's
day all the summer bcasiin, there being but few Ministers iu
the Province whenever I came into those parts which wore
wliolly destitute, 1 called too^ether as many of the neigh-
bours as I could and read to them divine service and
preached, instructing them in some necessary duty and ex-
citing them to proper christian practices; my time was
wholly employed in the dntys of my Function, in visiting the
well and the sick, in instructing the ignorant, in baptizing
children and in j)reparing for my Lord's days performances*
I bless God I wiis not altogether unsuccessful in my en-
deavours for I i)revail'd with the greatest part of the people
to a religions care in sanctifying the Lord's day which be-
fore my coming among them were more generally profaned
many of 'em did by my direction and encouragement set up
the worship of God in their own families to which duty they
had been perfect strangers. The Lord's Supper had not
been administered here before iny time, and after I had
taken much pains upon my first coming among them to in-
form them of the nature of tliis Holy Ordinance and their
o]>ligation8 to participate of it I could procure only five to
communicate with me which by God's blessing did after-
wards increase to tlie number of forty five, 1 bless God I
saw a visible abatement of immorality and profaneness in
the Parish and more general prevailing sense of religion than
had been before known, 1 got a school erected in my Par-
ish for the education of youth and maintained five poor chil-
dren there upon charity and had procured a fund to pay for
their learning for one whole year when I left the Province.
These and many other things of publick usefulness did Al-
mighty God make me the happy instrument of; I had in
modesty fori)orn to mention these particulars had I not been
constrained by the unjust and false representations which
were given of mc by W Marston to give tliis account of my
Proceedings and their success, tluis I have given this
Ven^**® Society a satisfactory account (I liOi)e) of the reasons
DOCUMENTS CONCBRNING REV. SAMUEL THOMAS. 47
of ray not going among the Yamonsea Indians, & also how I
did emph>y my time while I continued their Missionary in
Carolina, ujwn the whole I hope this hon^J® Body will see
that there is some reason as I am sure there is much truth
and sincerity in all that I have said, I hope this hon^}® So-
ciety will give their Missionarys a very strict charge to la-
boar with great diligence in the conversion of the Indian and
Negroe slaves in their respective Parishes, which is a thing
very practicable & I doubt not but by God's blessing they
may be very successful therein, and it is this hope together
with a just respect to those of our poor Bretliren who are in
that wilderness scattered as sheep without a shepherd that
encourages my return to them with great chearfulness.
It is indeed much to be lamented that the generality of our
Planters are no great friends to the design of giving their
slaves Christian instructions but it may be in the uower of a
minister to gain their consent by proper and prudent appli-
cations to them.
And here I cannot but intimate to this hon^*^^ Society that
those two persons Captain Xairn and Mf Steevens who pre-
tend to a great zeal for propagating Christianity among the
Yamonsea Indians, have not evineed the least (Christian con-
cern for their own ignorant slaves at homo, of wliich they
have many residing in their houses and so iniirnt witli much
ease be instructed, but I am very well assured ]\I^ Steevens
has not done the least this way, nor did I ever hear that
Captain Nairn hath, so that the Society has the let-s reason
to credit their complaints who are so haekward in that them-
selves which they would have another attempt, tho- jitteiided
with the greatest difficultys and the hiu:]icst iniprobahilitys,
so much for answer to the first chargi\
2. He saith I removed Ml Kendal ifcc.
For Mf Kendal I tVumd him minister of that Parish
which is situated upon the west(?rn ])raiieh of Cooper river,
his character with all solx^r people thro'ont the Province' was
very mean, but he beiu^ now dead I am willin«i: to be silent
48 so. CA. HI8T0RI0A.L AND GRNEALOOIOAL MAGAZINE.
as to all further account of his behaviour. The general re-
port in Carolina was that Mf Kendal had formerly been dis-
tracted in Bermudas, of which I do not pretend to give any
positive proof, for I never thought myself otherwise con-
cerned in his distraction than as a Christian to pitty him and
pray for the restoracon of his reason, had I once imagined
that any one would have had malice enough to have charged
me with being the cause of his distraction which was never
done before I should have enquired more particularly into
his former temper: its the height of falsehood and injustice
in Mr Marston to say that I removed him or contributed any-
thing designedly thereunto, for I do assure this hon^^^ Society
and will engage to give them the best authority for what I
say that the Country can produce, upon my return, if they
require it, that I never came in IP KendaFH Parish to preach
or to visit his peopl(3 or to perform any duty of my Function
among them during his continuance with them: and why
Mf Kendal should be the least disturbed that one of the
vacant Parishes which extreamly wanted a Minister should
have a supply by -my labours is not easy to imagine. I
think any good man should have rather rejoyccd that the
peoples spiritual necessities were supply ed, and that they now
enjoyed what they long wanted Ministerial instruction and
God's holy ordinances publickly dispensed.
Mf Kendal was indeed distracted sometime after my arrival
and his distraction continued for about 3. weeks, after which
he recovered the use of his reason and declared to his friends
his inclinations of returning again to Bermudas, whereupon
application was made to tlie chief Inhabitants of the country
to furnish M"^ Kendal with a sufficient sum of montjv for to
pay the charges of his voyage, and for his other conve-
niences, and nij^ny of the gentlemen contributed very liber-
ally, so that I believe he had about forty pounds given him
gratis to render his circumstiincos easy and satisfactory, least
the want of monev should i)e anv disturbance to him and
bring ui)ou him again iiis former indisposition, and with this

provision he volnntarily went off the Conntry to Bermudas
and afterwards from Bermudas for England and was unhap-
pily cast away in the West of England near Falmouth,
sometime after his removal from Carolina, the people which
he left made their application to me, entreating my assist-
ance to preach sometimes among them, to baptize and in-
struct their children and to administer to them the blessed
Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, and by the consent of my
former Parish I had liberty to be with them one Lord's day
in a month and because 1 found they stood in need of more
frequent instruction I erected a lecture among them upon a
week day once in a month also, but all this was done long
after Mf Kendal was removed and gone off the Countrey and
this is the real and true account of my proceedings with
relation to M^ Kendal. As to what Mf Marston saith of
the Countrys injustice and unkindness to several other Min-
isters of the Church of England, they being all gone off the
Country before my arrival, and I having no personal know-
ledge of them I think myself not concerned, but there is a
debt of justice & gratitude which I owe to the People of
Carolina and it is this : to affirm that ]M^« Marshall the
widow of that Rev. Mf Marshall sometime of Barking in
Suffolk, and myself are living testinicmies of the civilities
and kindnesses of the People of Carolina to ^^i^iste^s of the
Church of England who demean themselves well and as be-
comes their sacred Function.

the Chief Justice at our Grand Sessions I made it mv care to
represent to them fairly and fully whatever I found to be ^
their duty as Christians, and as persons placed in such sta-

crimes I knew any of them to be guilty of, with great affec-
tion beseeching them, for God's sake, and with a due re-
spect to the PubHck, to walk worthy their profession as
Christians, and their dignity as Magistrates. As to my
knowledge of the Canons and Constitutions of tl e Church of
England, Mr Marston can be no judge, having never exam-
ined me, but I dare appeal to him or to any other person in the
whole Province to accuse me, if they can, of having acted in
anything contradictory to the Kubrick or Canons of that
excellent Church of which I am an unworthy Minister, or of
omitting in the whole course of my Ministry in that Prov-
ince anything that I am obliged to as a Minister of the
Church of England as far as it is prac'.ticable in that Infant
Colony, [f it be said that this is only my own Testimony, I
do offer this Venerable Board that if what Testimonials I
have already brought from Carolina be not sufficient for
•their satisfaction, to get upon my return the truth of all that
1 have written attested by Persons of the most known hon-
our, probity and reputation of any in the Province.
1 am I hope as hearty a Petitioner for the grace of humility
as any man, and as unwilling to say anything of myself which
may have the least show of vain glory, but S^ Paul was com-
pelled to boast when falsely accused : give me leave then
humbly and tliankfully to say that Almighty God was pleased
to make me the happy irjstrument of enlarging His Church
by i)ringing many into its Communion, by confirming many
wlio were wavering, and by reforming some who were ir-
regular & profane, of all which I could if need recjuired give
more than a few particular instances: J most heartily desire
that God may have the giory of all the t^ood tiiat I»ath i)een
done i)y me, to Him alone it is due.

In the last place I think it is dow my duty as circnmstaDces
stand to give this ven^3° Society a few hints of M*^ Marston's
character and conduct, to prevent their being imposed on by
him and his false representations to the prejudice of Christ's
Infant (church in that Province and to their own dissatisfac-
tion when matters may be set before them in a just and true
light
And here I solemnly profess that what I here represent is
not from any disrespect to his person, I heartily wish well to
him and his family: and as a Christian I do freely forgive
the injury he has done me in his printed letter, and none
should rejoyce more than myself to see his tem])er and con-
duct so altered that there might Me a happy reconciliation
between him and his people; it is a very unpleasant task to
me to give any account of the man and his seTice of matter,
in which I shall be as brief as possibly 1 can, consistent with
my duty and obligations to this Society and to the Church in
Carolina.
M' Marston is a north (Junntrv man, born and lived sometime
near New Castle as himself saith : he was crurate in a Country

shonld reassuirie tlie Imperial Crown of England, and this
fast as be has told me and several others, he kept inviolable
for seven whole years, bnt being reduced to some necessities
he was under great temptations to eat such provisions as he
could procure contrary to his intentions before either King
James or the pretended Prince of Wales, returned to Eng-
land; this account of himself and his proceedings he has for-
merly taken great delight in giving myself and several others
have often heard him boast of this long fast. It so fell out
that Mf Marston being reduced to the greatest necessitys
imaginable that at last he bethinks himself and takes the oaths
to King William to whom he had declared himself a very open
enemy, after this qualirication he comes for Carolina about the
year 1699. and who could choose but wonder to see so violent
an opposer of King AVillianrs authority swear allegiance to
him, had he but given any tolleral)le proofs of his honesty
and sincerity here in, all good men would have approved his
proceedings in this last particular, but insted of that he shew-
eth himself the same enemy to the Government after he had
sworn fidelity to it, that he was before, takinir all opportuni-
ties to cry up the late King James and the Jacobites, whom he
generally termed the honest men of England, and railing very
scanda lousy against King William, the Bishops and Parlia-
ment then in being; this he did so frequently and publicklv
in the ship in which 1 came for Carolina, that he and some
other gentlemen on bord who were better friends to the Gov-
ernment than he, comenced very violent quarrels upon this
head, which were not reconciled when they came ashore in
Carolina, insomuch that his constant applauding King James,
the King of France, the Jacobites and Papists, and his vile
reflections upon King William and the pious Bishops and
Clergy of this Kingdom had gained him the general reputa-
tion on board of being a Koman Catholick ;'Jof which he had
given very shrewd cause of suspicion, by the use^of a crucifix
and by his justification of the papist custom of crossing them-
selves, as M^ Ileyrn a considerable Planter now in'the Coun-
try did very commonly report of him, and did everwuth great
seriousness say that he saw him use a crucifix in his private
devotion in his cabbin, this Mf Heyrn is yet living in Carolina

and hath given this p»cconnt of Mf Marston to myself and to
several othei^s.
This My Marston has upon all occasions shewed the greatest
disrespect to those of our Bishops who were advanced to that
dignity by King William, particularly lie has so indecently
railed against the late Bishop Kiddar and did express himself
so nnchristianly when he heard of liis death, as is not proper
to repeat, he joyns with many of iiis sense in reproaching the
late most Rev. Archbishop Tillotson, the present right Rev-
erend Bishop of Salisbury &c.
With some diflSculty he got himself erected Minister of
Charles Town, some short time after his arrival, which was
because there was not another Minister upon the 8j)ot, nor
any that they knew of like to come in, I shall not entertain
this hon^'® Societv with an account of his ill conduct in that
post to the great prejudice of the Church in that poor Pro-
vince, only I must not omit leting you know that he has
always shewn himself the same disaffected person to the Gov-
ernment which he was at first and continues in his conversa-
tion to approve and defend his own and the Jacobites pro-
ceeding in their non submission to King William's authority,
his temper has ever been most imj)roper for that part of the
world where heates and violence & insolence will be as inef-
fectual as anywhere.
His frequen t practice for many years has been aln»ost every
Lord's day to preach against the Dissenters whom lie treated
with so much roughness and severitv that thev had whollv
deserted the Church, and were become verv irreat enenivs to
his person and ministry, and were wont to speak of him in
very indecent terms of disrespect : the Church at ( 'harh^^
Town which in Mf MarslialTs time was well frequented is
now almost wholly deserted through M^Marston's impru-
dent conduct, and the Meetings are thronged, and too many
stay at home, because they will worship God j)ublickly in
church only, and cannot come there without being shamefully
affronted
It will appear indeed very strange that the Dissenters are of
late become Mf Marston's friends and advocates, as for our
dissenting Brethren, I have as great a value for men btrietlv

conscientious among them as any man has, and many can
witness for me that I liave in treated them witli dne respect
and tenderness, but in this afiFair I must sav what all who are
upon the spot in Carolina cannot but discern, it appears that
tliey are now friends to Mf Marston against whom they have
been such known enemys because the supporting him in his
place will promote their interest and increase their numbers.
The true character of Mf Marston is, that in his judgement
he is a violent Jacobite and great enemy to the Government
in Church and State as settled under King William, very
warm & uncharitable to Protestant dissenters and very fre-
quent and bitter in his pulpit invectives against them ; very
imprudent in his conduct by which he has greati}^ prejudiced
the Church of England interest in Charles Town, very impe-
rious in his carriage to all in general and very rude and inso-
lent in his behaviour to the Government offering such af-
fronts as authority will by no means bear tho' lodged in the
hands of men very humble and of a good temper; this
ven^.^® Body may if they desire it have satisfaction that this is
a just and true character of Mf Marston from under the
hands of persons uni)yased and of known integrity and repu-
tation, such as may be depended upon. I know that many
pious and honorable in that Province who have not thought
themselves obliged to encourage a man of Mf Marston's prin-
ciples and practices will be much concerned to think that the
Province and myself should be so misrepresented as we are in
this printed letter. I pray God inform Mf Marston's judg-
ment^, aright and give him grace for the future better to gov-
ern his turbulent and imperious temper, tliat he may do God
and his church yet some service in ("arolina, for if he con-
tinues what helms been manv will conclude that it had been
better for him and manv in that IVovince if he had never
ml
come there.

ERASER FAMILY MEMORANDA.
PREPARED Bi" THE LATE CHARLES FRA»ER, ESQ., IN SEPTEMBER,
1840. ANNOTATED BY A. S. SALLEY, JR.
My Father, Alexander Fraser, was the only son of John
Fraser (John ffrasser) who was born at Wilton County Gallo-
w;ay Scotland, and came to Carolina about 1700. (He is
mentioned in Hewitt's ^ history of South Carolina as a
Trader with the Yemassee Indians in 1715, and lived near
Coosawhatchie.)
John Fraser married Judith Warner of Rhode Island, and
had four children. He died in Charleston, S. C. 14. Janu-
ary 1754. His widow died in April 1772. ^ Their children
were :
Alexander, above named born 1722 died 6 Mav 1791.
Judith, died unmarried 1 May 1763.
Susan, — who married Charles Lorimer a Scotch Minister and
died in England — at Shooter's Hill, Kent, IQ June 1785.
Ann, who married William Cattell, 31 July 1746 and had
two sous Benjamin and William. William left no issue and
Benjamin married a Maryland woman, ^ and has descendants
in that State, and one also residing in South Carolina, Col.
William Cattell. — Ann married a second time Col. Owen
iH-e-w-a-t was the way Dr. Alexander Hewat, this historian, spelled
bis name. It seems that no one else will agree with him on that
spelling o( his name.

battle at Stono Ferry, S. C. 20^une 1779. Ann died in
1804.
Alexander Fraper was married twice, first to Ann Harvey,
10. Nov. 1749, by whom he had one son, John born 25
Sept. 1750 and died without issue in 1786. Uis second wife
was Mary Grimke daughter of Frederick and Martha
Qrirake, whom he married on 20 March 1755.
Of my maternal Grandfather Grimke I have but little infor-
mation. He was born in Germany and emigrated to this
country in 1733, at the age of twenty eight years. I have
the following memorandum in his handwriting, found in my
Mother's pocketbook : "F. G. whs born 12/23 October 1705,

daughter was born on Tuesday morning between the hours of

Mary married Alexander Fraser, d, 3 Jan. 1807 ^
Eliza married John Rutledge, d. 6 June 1 792. ^
Frederick Giimke died 20 October 1778, and his wife
Martha in 1764. He was the first person at whose death the

Opkrations of Williamson's Brigade in March, 17V9. —
The following account of the operations of General Andrew
Williamson's brigade in March, 1779, is taken from T/te
GazetU^ of ike State of South-Carolina for Wednesday
April 7, 1779 :
** Yesterday we were favoured with the following aceoimts of the
first operations of our militia, under the eomuiand of Brigadier Gen-
eral Williamson, communicated in letters from the camp in the interior
country, headed hy his Excellency our Governor.
FIRST, dated April 3d,
'David Tait, Esq; one of Mr. John Stuart's indefatigable Depu-
ties in the Creek Nations (and now called General, by the enemy)
having advanced, with a large Body of Creek Indians, about 40 dis-
atfectetl Cherokees, and several as savage white Men, as far as Ful-
som's Fort, on Ogeachie, to join the Enemy in Georgia, and assist
them in carrying their execrable Plan into execution, for the indis-
criminate Destruction of def^^nceless Men, Women and Children
(wliich can never be avoided where Indians are employed); and
Brigadier General Williamson, of the Militia of this State, having
Intelligence thereof: he lately detached Colonel LeRoy Hammond
with two small Kield Pieces, to go with Colonels Pickens and
Dooly, into that Country, and endeavour to prevent so fatal a Junction.
Col. Hammond accordingly entered (Jeorgia upon this Business; but
the Enemy beini; apprized of his Approach, on the 2lth ult. at 8 in
the Afternoon, abandoned and burnt the Fort, and ran off towards
the Nation ; except about 70, who still attempted to j:et to tlie Enemy:
However, Colonels Hammond and Pickens, the next Morninjr about
10 o'clo(?k, came up with some of this Party, and notwithstandins;

their Address, killed 8 and took 8 of the white Savages, with no other
Lnss than Major Ross of their Detachment wounded. Amongst the
killed, are iw » principal Headmen of the disaffected Creelts; and
anion^rst the Prisoners, u son (>f Mestisiqno, the Big Fellow, another
Creek Chief. The 80th Col. Hammond and his Detachment returned
to the General's Camp with the Prisoners.' This proves, what
the Militia can do^ when they heartily set abrmt their Duty, and observe
that Discipline which is es.'^ential to Success; and what might have
l>een done, with their Assistance when Col. Campbell, by his March to
Augusta, risqued a full half of the British Army in Georgia to a
Bargoynade.
Second, Dated April 4th,
'Geireral Williamson having ordered a Detachment of Horse under
the Command of Lieut. Col. Kly Kershaw, acting in Conjunction with
Col. Twig's <»f Georgia, (in all about 200 Men) to cross Savannah
River at Beach -Island, in order to facilitate the Operations of Cols
Hammond and fMckens in the upper Parts of that iState; he crossed
the River accordingly, but not without being discovered by some
Persons who gave Notice thereof to the Knemy: Lieut. Col. Prevost
ordered Major Spurgeu of the Carolina Lr.yalists, with Major Sharp of
the Georgia Militia, to attack our Detachment. On the 31st of March,
at S oVloi-k in ihe Evening, the Parties met, the Woods being very
open and the Moon shininjr bright, the Enemy, amounting to about
200, attacked our People, and to it they went. The Engagement
lasted two Hours, when the Enemy gave Way, leaving Spurjion and
several otheis dead on the Field. Our Party pursued them 2 Miles,
and. till they were within 7 of the Enemy's main Body, and after
destroying a Stockade Fort which the Enemy had occupied, returned
with Sharp, mortally wounded, and several other Prisoners. Sharp is
since dead. Our Party sustained no other Lo.ss than 3 Men wounded
none dangerously.' If ail our Militia will only imitaie these how
soon might we not remove the Enemy from our Sister State, and pre-
vent a Deluge of Blood, by the British King's Indian Allies."

NECROLOGY.
Edward McCrady, President of the Houth Carolina His-
toriial Soriet.v, died at bis residence. No. 7 Water Street, in
the City of Charleston, on Sunday morning, November 1,
1908. He was born in Charleston, April 8, 1888, and was
the pccond son of Hon. Edward McCrady (1802-J892) and
Louisa Rebeeca Lane, his wife; received his preparatory
trainini? at the school of Samuel 15nrns in Charleston
and was graduated from the College of Charleston
in 1858; studied hiw in his father's office, was ad-
mitted to the bar in Columbia in May, 1855, and
immediately entered upon the practice of law with
liis father. He took an active interest in the militia and in
May, 1854, was elected major of the Ilitle Battalion (Char-
leston), South Carolina militia. The next year 'he WTote
several articles on the necessity of militia reform, which led
1o his apy)ointment on a commission, created under a reso-
luticm of the General Assenddy of South Carolina in 1859,
to examine the militia system of the State. In 1860, he re-
signed his commission as major of the Rifle Battalion and
accepted the captaincy of a company of guards. His active
service in the State military establishment began with the
taking of Castle Pincknev (Charleston Harbor), December
27. 18G0, and ended with the surrender of Fort Sumter
(Charleston Harbor), April 18, 1861. He entered the ser-
vice of the Confederate States. June 27, 1861, as captain of
the Irish Volunteers, of Charleston, — the first company to
volunteer "for the war'- — and was ordered to Virginia in
July, 1861. and in August, followinir, joined the First
(Orefrc:'s) Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers: was pro-
moted nmior. December 14, 1861, and lieutenant-colonel.

l>or l)egan, and reported to Gen. Gregg for duty. As be was
unable to walk Gen. Gregg ordered bini to serve on bis staff,
so that be migbt remain mounted. In tbis manner be sbared
tbe fortunes of bis brigade during tbe action, rendering val-
uable services, but fainting tliree times upon tbe field, but
after tbe battle be was taken back to bis sick bed, in Ricb-
inond, to linger for weeks witb ty])boid fever. On July 80,
1862, altbougb scarcely recovered and still very feeble, be
i-ejoined bis regiment and commanded it at tbe battle of
Odar Run, August 9tb., and at Second Manassas, August
2Stb., 29tb., and 8()tb., being severely wounded in tbe bead
on tbe hist day. Narrowly escayiing deatb from tbis wound.
he missed tbe Maryland (*ampaign, rejoining bis brigade
during tbe affair at Snicker's Gap, October 80tb., after its
i-eturn from Virginia. He was present for duty at tbe battle
of Fredericksburg, December 18, 1S02. and rendered good
service in assisting in tbe repulse of tbe Federal attack on
CJregg's brigade, in which (Jen. (Jregg was killed. On Janu-
ary 27, 1S(J8, at cam]), ou Morse's Nc<k, he was seriously in-
jured by a falling tree, and rendered unfit for further action
in field duty. Rejoining his command several times only to
find himself physically disabled and unfit for duty, he saw
the last actual engagement at Mine Run, Decemlier, ISO.S,
and in March, 1864, was transferred to the command of the
ramp of instruction at Madison, Florida, where he served
until April, 1865, when on his way to rejoin the Army of
Northern Virginia, be heard of Lee's surrender. He sur-
rendered himself on May 5th.. following. In October, 1S65,
be resumed tbe practice of law, in copartnersbip with his
father, in Gbarleston. In 1S()7, he organized the Survivors'
Association of Charleston, and in 1S61) succeeded Col. 1*. i\
Gaillard in the presidency. He was also chairman of the
Kxecutive (^ommittee of the Stat<' association in 18()0, and as
such commenced tbe work of recovering and collecting his-
torical materials of the wnr. In ISTO lu* ninde a repoi-t to the
meeting of the Survivors' Association at Columbia whi<-h
forms the basis of all the inforinntion we now have of tin
troops of this State in Confederate service*.
In 1H8(), Col. McCrady was eh'cted to tlu* House of Rep
resentativcs of South Carolinji from Charleston County and
was re<"dected in 1SS2, 1SS4, 1SS(;, ISSS. In 1SS2, he intro-
duced and carried through the Legislature^ an Act to estab-
lish a Confederate War Records bureau in the* olli^-e (►f Ad-
jutant and Inspector ricnc^ral for South Carolina and to
this he presented all of the great nuinber of recoi'ds which

lie had collected. He also took an active part in the passing
and i)erfecting of the railroad laws of tiie State, the stock
law, the *'bill to prevent duelling", and inti'oduced the reso-
lution endorsing civil service reform. He was chairman of
the Committee on Privileges and Elections and a member of
the Judiciary and Railroad committees.
In 1882, he w^as appointed a major-general of South Caro-
lina militia, and had much to do with bringing the militia
of the coast region up to a high state of efficiency. He took
part professionally in all the political trials of the period,
resulting from the Reconstruction oppression, and raised
the question as to the test oath to jurors, arguing that as
"Rebellion'' was a crime in the eyes of the law, no one could
be asked on his ro/r dire, after having been brought into
court by subj)cpna, whether he had been guilty of rebellion —
a point which was subsequently sustained by the Supreme
Court of the United States. He took an active part in the
defense ai the stockhoIdei*8 of the banks broken by the war,
and made, before the Supreme Court of the United States,
an argument which is said to have gained the case for the
stockholders. His services in these cases, and his ai'gu-
ments in the McKeegan and Davie will cases, with others,
placed him in the front rank of the bar of the State.
The political campaign of 1876, which resulted in the elec-
tion of (Jen. Wade Hampton as (lovernor and the complete
transfer of the State to the hands of the wiiite people of the
State, — a campaign in which Col. McCrady rendered valu-
able services — did not alter the relative numerical strengths
of the two races in the State. The negroes were still vastly
in the majority, and their return to power, with all that
their government of the State implied, could only be pre-
vented under the then existing election laws by the constant
use of questionable and demoralizing methods at the polls.
A choice between fraud and violence was all that w^as left to
the most conscientious white nuin, and the constant recur-
rence of struggles to be decided by such means w^as endan-
gering the political virtue of the purest and best men in the
State. Besides, it w^as only a question of time, when such
methods would involve the State with the General Govern-
ment, and result in the loss of all the ground gained in
1876. Renlizing this situation Col. Mc(^rady instituted a
fight to remedy the evil. In 1879, he i)ublished a pamphlet on
''The Registration of Electors ", and this he followed in 1880
by his juldress before Erskine College, at Due West, on
*'The Necessity of Education as the Basis of Our Political
Svstem" and in 1881 bv his essav on ''The Xecessitv of Rais-
NECROLOGY. ()5
iiig the standard of Citizenship, and the Right of the Gen-
eral Assembly to impose qualifications upon Electors ",
wiiich was widely distributed throughout the State. Ilav-
iug thus prepared the public mind for the change, he sub-
mitted lo the committee appointed on this subject by the
iJeneral Assembly in 1881, a draft of the '"Eight Box Ballot
Law/' After a long and bitterly contested tight in the Leg-
ishiture the bill was passed and became a law. This was the
tirst attemjit at ballot reform in this section. It was the
first step toward an educational qualification for voters, and
the wisdom of Gen. McCradv has been fuUv sustained bv
the fact that since the passage of his bill almost every South-
ern State has made education a constitutional reipiiremeni
for voting, thus legally and properly disfranciiising a great
majority of the negroes of the Southern States.
Soon after the reorganization of the South Carolina ilis-
torical Society, in 1875, ('ol. McCrady was elected a member
thereof. On August 0, 188.*^, he read before the Society a
paper on ''Education in South Carolina Trior to and during
the Revolution'', in which lie conchisiNely -Ji-ovcd that John
Hach A[cM aster had shown gross ignorance of the subject
when he stated in his History of the People of the United
>^tates, that in South Carolina ''prior to 1730, no such thing
as a grammar school existed. Betwcn^n 1731 and 177G there
were five. During the Revolution there were none.-- At the
annual meeting, May 19, 1886, Gen. McC.'rady was elected a
Curator of the Society; was re(Me<*ted in 1SS7 and 1888 and
in 1889 was elected Second Vice-President. In 1895, he suc-
4-(»eded Mr. J. J. Pringle Smith as First \'ice- President and
on January 7, 1899, was elected President, succ(vding Rev.
i'harles Cotesworth Pinckney, D. 1)., LL.D., deceased.
in 1897, The Ma(*Millan ('ompany, of New York, published
the first of a series of four volumes on the history of Sonlh
Carolina, \yhich proved to be the gr(»atest achievement of
Gen. McCrady 's life. T1h\v wci-e: The Historj/ of Sttuth

On February 24, 1S(J3. Col. McCrady was mairicd. at

and Governor of North ('arolina, who 8urvives him. They
liad no children.
At a called meeting of the Managing Hoard of the South
('arolina Historical Society, held at the room of the Society,
on Wednesday afternoon, January i:3th., at 5 o'clock, the
following preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted :
WuEREAS, Since the last regular meeting of this Society
the death of its late President, EDWARD Mcd^VDY, LL.D.,
D. ( '. L., has occurred, and marked one of the greatest per-
sonal losses it has ever suffered. He was the foiu»th in suc-
cession of our Presidents; had been a member of the Societv
for many years, and its I'resident for tive years.
Distinguished in the pra<tice of I^aw, in legishitive and
military service above many of his contemporaries, he applied
himself, at the close of a long and useful life, to the writing
and publishing of *'The History of South Carolina.'- This
work, in four volumes, covers more than one hundred 3'ears,
from the settlement of the (.'arolinas to the end of the Kevo-
lutionarv War. Onlv one who has loved his native State,
as he did, could have felt the long neglect of her history, by
lier own people, the slurs and slanders of alien authors, the
richness and glory of her abundant and extraordinary re-
co)ds. Only one fitted by edu(*ation, patient and determined
labor, by trained discrimination in evidence and judgment,
c<mld have carried through the painstaking examination
into original authcu'ities, that enabled him to complete a
work of su<'h im})erishable value.
Others may give, as they have already given, unstinted
praise to the author of this history ; the j)eople of South
Ciirolina, and other States, may unite in their encomiums;
but the members of this Historical Society feel it to be their
peculiar privilege to record their deept»st obligation to the
author, and their sorrow at his recent decease.
Mfiy such an example as he has left us b(»ar fruit abun-
dantly in the coming years I ^fay the men and women of our
time and their childn^i after them l(*arn that it is not
cjKuigh to be South Carolinians, or even to <'herish their
honored genealogies, but that their distinction should
oblige* them to do, as well as to be, to achieve, if they can,
something for the State as worthy of remembrance as the
grejit woi-k of our late President iind much lamented friend.
TiiKRKFOKi:. by this meeting of the ^fanaging Poard of the
Snulli Carolina nist<»i*i(al Societv. dnlv convened, be it
HKCROLOOY. 67
RESOLVED : That the above Tribute to the memory and
worthiness of their late I'resident be spread upon the Min-
utes, and that a blank page therein be inscribed to his honor.
KESOLVED : That a copy of this Tribute and these Reso-
lutions be prepared by the Secretary and sent to the Widow
of the det*eased, with assurance of the Society's deep feeling
f4 r her in her bereavement and affliction.
Henry Alexander DeSaussure, a member of the South
t Carolina Historical Society, died at his home in Charleston,
JS. C, on Sunday, November 29, 19U3, at noon, after an ill-
ness of several weeks.
He was the eldest son of Gen. Wilmot G. and Martha
^Goui'dinj DeSaussure and was born in Charleston, August
12, 1851. He was graduated from the College of Charleston
in 1872 and almost immediately thereafter began the study
of law. Admitted to the Bar in 1874, he became a partner
with his father and the old law lirm again became ** DeSaus-
sure & Son'-, and so continued until the death of Gen. De-
is^aussure in 1886. In January, 1887, Mr. DeSaussure was
apfiointed Assistant United States District Attorney under
the Hon. LeRoy F. Youmans and Judge Sinionton, and held
the office until the close of President Cleveland's first admin-
istration. In that position, as in his private practice, he
gave the most careful study to cases, and worked with extra-
ordinary assiduity and industry.
Mr. DeSaussure from early manhood was devoted to Free
Masonry. He was Past Master of Union Kilwinning Lodge,
Xo 4 ; Past Venerable Master of Delta Lmlge of I*erfectiou ;
Past Wise Master of Bnist Chapter, No. 1, Rose Croix, and
32-Degree Knight Commander of the Court of Honor.
When Charleston had to look to her citizen soldierv for
protection. Mr. DeSaussure was an enthusiastic militiaman,
and succeeded the late Capt. F. W. Dawson in command of
Ihe Washington Artillery.
Sprung from distinguished Huguenot ancestry, 'Sir. De-
Saussure inherited a keen interest in family annals, and was
one of the most accomplished and accurate irenealoirists in
the South. He recognized the intimate connection of genea-
ologv with history and biographv. and his jniblished re-
5

searches, as well as a vast amount of data and documents
bearing on local history and genealogy, whicli he has lett
behind, are of great interest and value. He was one of the
Vice-Presidents of the Huguenot Society of South Carolina,
and a member of the Cincinnati and the St. Andrew's
Society.
Probably the oldest law office in the South closed with
the death of this scholarly Charlestonian. His great-grand-
father, Chancellor Henry William DeSaussure, had an of-
fire on Broad Street. Almost a century ago his grandfather,
Henry A. DeSaussure, began the practice of the profession
at what is now known as 23 Broad Street; his father. Gen.
Wihnot G. DeSaussure, during his whole professional life,
studied and worked in the same rooms, and there he himself
''scorned delights and lived laborious days'- ever since he
was '* called to the Bar."
'Tassionate for ancient truth, and honoring with religious
love the ijreat of elder titnes", Mr. DeSaussure inherited the
courtly manners and high ideals of his forbears, unfitting
him, perhaps, in a measure, for supreme success in this age
of sharp commercial and professional competition. His
friends will never forget his many kindnesses and attentions
which received a fresh charm from the gracious manner in
which thev were tendered, and his familv will ever cherish
his life-long devotion to their interests.
Mr. DeSaussure never married. His venerable mother,
three sisters and two brothers, Dr. P. Gourdin DeSaussure
and Mr. John Boone DeSaussure, survive him.

My Dear Son— >
I refer you to a Letter which I wrote to you
the 26'*. Ult". intended to have been sent by the Portland
Capt Wilson — Scaramouch & his Men followed the Ship
quite to the Bar & then returned with the Letter which will
accompany this'* — when I then wrote the Name of Grimke

within a very few days attempt to rob your Father both of
his reputation and his Life & that without the smallest pror-
ocation on your Father's part or truth or justice on his own
— surely History cannot produce a parallel circumstance—
You will receive with this, Wells's last Gazette & Gazette
extraordinary in which you will read M'. Grimke's ungeiH
erous & groundless attack upon me St my answer, which I.
sent to the Press within a very short space on Saturday
night after the first come out'* let the Papers speak for
themselves, but I must explain a little an ambiguity which
** It appeart that when Grimke was about to kare Engand be wa;
trusted with letters from difFerent penons in England to various
tons in Charies Tomii that the day of his arrival in Cbaries Tomb
(Monday, September 35, 1775) be left the letters at the home of ln> ,
father (John Paul Grimkj) ind went next door to Justice Coulett's;
that while there he »aw Laurens passing, called to him from the win-
dow and had a pleasant chat with him. mentioning during the convef*
sation that be bad sent to Mr. Laurens's house some letter* wh>d> be
had brought (See April magazine, p. 75.) for him; that Laumu
passed on and stopped at the house of Grimke's father, who, according
to Laurens's version, showed him some of the letters bis son had
brought, said they were addressed to ''suspected persons" and asked
if he would take them to the Committee; that Laurens replied: "I am
noi of any Committee that open letters, I am of the Council of Saletr,
and have never interfered in such matters"; that the elder Grimki then
asked to whom he should send them; that Laurens replied: 1 realty
cannot Icll yoo. Sir: I never concern myself in opening letters'; tbal
Grimke then asked if he should send them to Timothy (Secretary of
the Council of Safety) ; that Laurens replied: "I cannot tell but here
is one small packet, tied and not scaled, directed to WcHs; I anp-
pose it contains newspapers ; Wells always sends to me for newspa-
pers, I will take this, and, if it contains newspapers, I may borrow
them"; that Laurens then left Grimke, who subsequently gave the-lel-
tcrs to Timothy; that the second morning after young Grimke's arrival
Laurens received a note from him demanding by what author-
ity he had taken any tetters from his (Grimke's) father's house; thtl
while considering what lo do atraut the matter he saw Grimke. slopped
him and expressed astonishment at receiving such a note and that
Grimkj replied that he had had no right to lake letters from hii
house; ttiat Laurens denied taking anything more than a padcage of
papers, which he had immediately sent unopened tu tix
whom it was addressed, but declared that Grin^e's father had offered

now appears in M'. Grimke's notable & calculated queries
— \if he had added one more, was I present & did J know
that my Father had delivered you the Letters? the Re-
spondent must have replied, Ves you were in the Room
— this fact M''. Grimke has thought proper to conceal not
only from the public but also has denied it in most peremp-
toiy terms to some of the parties concerned, without know-
ing tliat it is confessed by his Father— <,to say that I advised
the delivery of those Letters to any Man or person except
him the letters uid that he had refused to touch them, and 6iat GrimU
replied: "you had no right to 'touch' any"; that Lauretu tbowed
Grimkc't note to a friend and, by his advice, jotted down this cod- •
versation on the bottom of (he paper upon which Grimkff note WW
written and sent it to the latter with the request thai be amend it if
it was wrong in any particular; that Grimke refused to rettim this ptt-
per lo Laurens and returned to Laurens a note which he lent nt-
questing its relnrn and accompanied it with an impertiDcnt note whidi
Laurens returned to him without finishing the reading of it; that
Grimki twice called lo see Laurens but was snubbed e«ch time and
wrote a third note which was relumed unopened. In die meantime
he bad prepared (on Thursday afternoon) a communication whtd) be
sent to Tht South-CaroHna and Auurican Gtneral GaittU and whidi
appeared in the regular issue of Friday, October 13, 1775. in wfaidi be
charged Laurens with having spread a report that be had betnyed <
confidence reposed in him by delivering up certain letters and beins
accessory to the opening of them and with having advised bit
(Grimke's) father to tend the letters to the Council of Safety and
quoted Timothy, in answer to cerla.in queries pat by him, ai lajnac
that the elder Grimkj had told him that Col. Laurens had to adrited
him. He charged Laurens with duplicity and declared that be bkd
positive proof that Laurens had advised the elder Grimkj to acnd tha

tion by those who had without authority or Siuiction from
any Council or Ctwnmittee improperly opened them & who
were afraid their conduct would be brought to li^t & be
severely reproached — upon this ground only can I form the
smallest excuse in behalf of my Young Mad, inveterate
antagonist — the Elder Grimke delivered them to M' Tim-
othy who had no authority to transact any such business —
he carried them to M'. Arthur Middleton a Member of the
Secret Committee — who without calling any one of bis
Colleagues opened the Letters consequently without author-
ity— M'. Middleton returned the Letters (Sealed or un-
sealed I cannot tell) to Timothy, he detained them a whole

for not having taken the letters & for my repeated protesta-

abhorrence — I heard, & overheard, one of the party twice
say that Old Grimke ouj^t to be indemnified & saved as he
had intended to serve the public — after some deliberation I
was pitched upon as a proper medium for effecting the
grand purpose — it is not an unnatural conjecture that people
would take such means, for hiding themselves, for burying
truth among rubbish & for punishing a fellow who had
refused to "serve the people" by tearing loose all the bonds
of Society — this to be sure was my crime — the whole affair

he has heard me say more than once that I had bravery
enough to stand & be shot at, but was too great a Coward to
kill any Man unless compelled by necessity — my conduct
towards him confirmed the sincerity of my declarations
I certainly had a very fair opportunity for killing him & a
good chance of being justified in the Eye of the Law — ^but I
never felt anger against him except when lie basely stole
about four or six feet of ground from the spot which he had
taken when he called to me to fire — this had nearly made

under dates of the 21". & 23''. Utt"- upon a particular sub-
ject which I know, if my Letters go safe, will have raised
in your breast astonishment, indignation & joy — all since,

things which I have requested. — & I will no more imbitter

formed for ihe advancement of hii child — and thoic promised joy«
which are now blasted — it is an immuUble Decree; no caution on dw

thing therefore that deviates from resignation, is contrary to the dic-
tates of reason and religion — The trial is brought home to us, it ii
come upon you my dear friend and father. That sweet youngest ton,
of whom we all with reason had such expectations, is taken from a
land of onccrtainty and trouble to be placed in a higher order of be-
ings— where he has aUained thai perfection of existence and happiness
which bis nature was capable of — this comfort religion gives ni. The
accident by which he was snatched from us is shocking, but not un-
common, it is one of those which are hourly imminent, and from which
biunan caution is unable to warrant us, — The morning on which it
happened I had been to Brompton and Greenwich Schools, and upon ■

happened to my youngest brother. Distracted with conjectures, I bai-
tened to my lodgings — where 1 was informed that the child, in an at-
tempt to jump from the window of the lower room across the area to

calls you from useless moans over what is lost — and points for com-
fort to the blessings which still remain — refuse not Id enjoy them. She
commands you not to lose a time in vainly bewailing the dead, whidl

your son is removed to a glorious state of immonalily and fortndi yoa

say more but I have a confidence in my dear friend and father that
he will shew that forlilude for which he has ever been admired — and I

were employed in sounding the Oiannel & the best glasses

the 7'*, Ins', to leani the certainty of their being there, who
is not yet returned whence I am inclined to hope that thev
were not there the 14'". — otherwise I should have been in
formed last Night — ■ .
On Sunday the 14"', a General Alami was Fired, Expresses
sent through the Country — hundreds of Men came in to the
aid of Charles Town as Volunteers & Tliousands are pre-
paring to join them if needful, — a Battery on Sullivant's
Island, another at Haddrell's point. Fort Johnson, an ad-
jacent & important Battery, all tlie old Forts & four new
Batteries im tJie frontt t)f this Town & a Ship mounting
twenty two 12 & g pounders :ire in readiness to make a de-
fence— & Men appear to be animated — God only knows
what will l>e the event — if the people are cool in Action a
conquest will be ver)- dearly purchased by the Shipping,

many a valuable Life & Limb on our part — Heads of fam-
ilies, Brothers Sons, friends & good fellow Citizens — not
the Canaille of Soldiery will fall — who can dry eyed reflect
upon this picture? will you not wonder that there is a tran-
quil Heart within our Walls? & yet I believe there is. — but
thro' the crevices, 1 perceive day light, I must hasten to
conclude or I may lose the opportunity for conveying my
Letter; God grant this liiay be a happy Omen, that his light
may break in upon & deliver us from the power of our
Cruel Brethren; upon their minds &■ discover to them the
fatal error into which they have been led by crafty & de-
signing Men who for selBsh purposes brouglit on & con-
tinue to support this barbarous persecution & who, at the
hazard of all Curses, are willing to owe their greatness to
their Country's Ruin.— If further time is allowed me I will
give you also a brief Narrative of Colonel Richardson's
expedition to the Frontiers of this Colony the head of the
Faction in that part except three who narrowly escaped by
flight are in prison — the common people whom they had
deluded are convinced of their mistake & in general declare
their willingness to join their Brethren in America in de-
fence of their common rights & many have actually
joined.— \

[This completes the publication of sudi of the oripnali of (he letter*
■rriilen by Hon. Henry Laurens to his son, John, during the years
'775, 1774. 1775 and 1776. as are in the Laurens Collection of the South
Carolina Historical Society. The Society posscssct scarcely half of the
orisinals of the lelterd which Hon. Hency wrote to John in those
years, but, torttinatcly, the Collection contains most of Hon. Henry's
letter books and therein are copied most of the letters of which the
Society docs not possess the oriK<nals of and wt>«i those letter botA*
are printed students of our history will be able to fill up the gaps now
needed to complete Hon. Henry's part of this correspondence.]

THE HAYNE FAMILY?
BY THEODORE D. JERVEY.
John Hayne, the founder of the Hayne family in South
Carolina, came to the Province tn 1700', settling in Colle-
ton County. He probably died about 1718, as his will is
declared to have borne date Dec, 20, 1717, and to have been
recorded in the office of the Secretary of the Province, by a
deed which recites the marriage of his widow to one Wil-
liam Long prior to 1824*. By bis marriage with Mary
Deane he had issue;
1 John Hayne.
2 Edward Hayne.
3 Joseph Hayne.
4 Hannah Hayne.
5 Matthew Hayne.
• Through the generosity of Mr, Frank B. Hayne, of New Orleans,
Ihe Editor has been enabled to emliellish this genealogy with ■ col-
ored representation of the Hayne arms and several pictures of espcciftlljr
distinguished Hiynes.
' By a genealogical chart in an old Bible it appears that the family came
from Shropshire, three miles from Shrewsbury, in England, and that
John Hayne's mother was named Elizabeth.
' To all to whom these presents may come Greeting. Whereas John
Haynes. the father of the said John Haynes. and Mathew Haynes late of
Colleton County planter by his last will and testament * * bearing date
Dec. 20, 1717, etc. And whereai Mary Haynes the mother of John
Haynes and Mathew Haynes the widow and relict during her widow-
hood did purchase four several tracts of land and afterwards did mier-
marry with John Long and by deed bearing date June 16, 17x4, did
convey to John Haynes, John Williamson ar.d Tin^othy Hendricks in
trust tor the use of John Haynes, Ihe eltiest son of John Haynes, Ed-
ward Haynes, Joseph Kaj-nei, Hannah Haynes, Mathew Haynes, Su-
sannah Haynes, Isaac Haynes minors the children of John Hayne*.

Not having been in the City for two or three days past,
I have had but a few hours notice of the present opportunity
of writing to you* — and as I have not your last Letters
about me I must answer them, as well as I can from memory
— ^first with respect to the Bristol Expedition I think it will
be attended with Loss of Time and pernicious Interruption to
my studies, for I must gain as much as possible of the
Theory of my Profession in order that I may advance with
firmer steps in the Practice — Harry shall pass his Holy Days

think will be infinitely better at Walsall than Shifnall for the
Reasons you mention — I have written to the little fellow
to day, and shall keep up a constant Correspondence with
him — Little Westminster is hearty and well, begins to make
Sense Verses — ^but I refer you to his* Letter inclosed, which
with the Papers, M^ Mannings and my Letter were returned
from Falmouth — Inclosed too, you will find Public Adver-
tisers from Saturday — & I shall now send you them regularly
— M*" Deans communicated your Directions about Garden
seed to me, to day — I think you have taken all the Essential
Articles for a Kitchen Garden — except spinach; but that
and such other Articles as may occur shall be added. — your
poor old Landlady has been so ill that we thought her about
to make her Exit — her leg and stomach very much swelled —
and what you call'd Gout is now pronounced to be something
of a Dropsy — her Illness seem'd to cast a Damp upon Deans
and make him falter in his Resolution of going to Carolina
— but as she took an Airing yesterday and is somewhat
better I fancy he will summdn up Resolution enough to
embark — M*" Kendall has call'd twice upon me, and will
settle Accounts with M^ Manning to morrow — I have worn
my Black Gown twice at the Temple, and shall break Bread

— I send you the Even* Post because it contains M^ Burke's
Florid speech— to the Electors of Bristol. The Lord Mayor
was so ill on his great Day, that it was thought he would
not be able to go through the Ceremony of it, he was obliged

It does not seem natural in our present Circumstances to sit
down to write to America, without having an ample Store
of Political History and Prophecy, but of the former I know
no more than is contained in the Papers sent herewith, and
in the latter as far as I have heard there is so much Ab-
surdity and Contradiction, that if I were to communicate
the various Predictions, it would rather be by way of Satire
upon Politicians in general than from any hope of enUgfat-
ening you with respect to our future Fortunes — these to be
sure will be very bad, if we m^y judge even from the mild-

est of the opinions which I have been used tc hear lately,
for it has so happen'd on our little Excursion, that we have
conversed with more Tories than Patriots — Our Pall Mall
Friend — Governor Hutchinson who lodged in the same
house with us at Bath, introduced Politics of his own Ac-
cord, and with one of his sons held a long Dispute with
Beresford and myself. Viator, who by the bye was the
most moderate of the three, all agreed in our Ruin, tho'
they differed in the means of effecting it — and now I begin
to be quite sick of the many long winded and fruitless Let-
ters which overflow our Public Papers; enough has been
said upon the Subject if Argument could have been of any
avail — ^there is now a necessity for Action — Firmness I
hope will ever be the Characteristick of Americans; if I
have any Fear, it is that the Arts of Luxury incidental to
Riches and Commerce may have already crept in too far
upon us — and that the Mercantile part, will hardly be per-
suaded to be long bereft of their accustomed Profits — ^how-
ever I hope we shall have Patriots enough to keep the faint
hearted from sinking, and false Brethren in awe — I con-
gratulate my Country upon the additional strength it has
received by your Arrival, and wish in the words of Aga-
memnon to Nestor, that it had been ten other such Coun-
cilors as you — Nestor's Name reminds me of Lord Chat-
ham, who has made a noble Exertion of his Oratory in spite
of his Age and Infirmities — I must go and see L*^ Stanhope
& Mahon who I find have both call'd upon me in my ab-
sence from Town, and learn the particulars of his speech
from them, to night I make one, of a Nursery of Orators
at the Devil Tavern — where the middle Templars meet and
harangue upon different subjects, principally confined tho'
to the Study which they are pursuing — I must have recourse
to something of this kind in order to exercise my argumenta-
tive Faculties, for my Friend with whom I eat and drink,
is the merest machine in the world — the most barren in Con-

versation and least calculated to improve, of any Man I ever
was connected with — ^however he and his Wife are both
very well disposed and good People, and I must make the
best of it — the elder Brother is a sensible clever Fellow, and
I cultivate his acquaintance as much as possible —
Letters from Walsall from M^ Stone and our dear little
Jemmy, are inclosed — will you indulge him in his Plan for
spending Whitsimtide Holidays? I promise to take great
care of him, and shall be glad of an oportunity of having
him under my eye for a week or two — Harry is become as
great a favorite among your Town Friends as Jemmy used
to be, he spends this day with me, and if he does not come
too late will write you a Letter.
You see by the different Colour of the Ink, that this Letter
had been begun and laid by some days, it was intended to
go by Cap^ Compton, but by a blundering Message from
the Coffee House I understood that he was still in Town, but
upon farther Inquiry I find that he is sailed — with the Pa-
pers I have put up M" M^Cauley's Address, L** Chatham's
Speech, which is said to be spurious and of which his Lord-
ship has forbid the Publication The Printer has artfully put
new Edition upon the Title Page — If I ever felt true joy
in a supreme degree it was on the Receipt of your much
wish'd for Letter by the Packet,* notwithstanding the Safety
of Voyages in general I could not be free from Anxiety until
I heard from yourself, that you were landed on the firm
Continent, and the strong hope, that I had, and which is
expressed in the fore part of my Letter, was not unallayed
by Fears — I am sorry that your Activity was call'd forth by
such a dreadful Accident as Fire — ^the consequent weakness
in your L^, will I hope have pass'd off, long since —

I have but a little time to spare, but I must tell you, what
has happen'd between S^ Egerton Leigh and me — As I was
standing in one of the Committee Rooms with a Counsellor
of my Acquaintance, I discovered the Bar*, with his face
tum'd towards me, a little Rapid Reasoning in my own
mind, made me think proper to give him the usual Compli-
ment of the Hat, which he did not return; Pride hinder'd
me from changing my Countenance to any other than a look
of Contempt and Indifference, tho I felt that spice of Mor-
tification which 1 believe most people would be sensible of
upon a similar occasion — after a minute or two had pass'd
and we had advanced nearer to the scene of Business, he
came up to me took off his Hat and made a very decent
Apology for not knowing me, he thought it had been a Gen-
tleman Unknown to him bowing to some other Person in
the Crowd — In effect the sun had shone so directly into his
Eyes, through a neighboring Window — that I suppose he
could not know — then pass'd complimentary Inquiries from
each Party about Friends — I had not then received your
Letter — the next day he paid me a Visit and was admitted
before I knew who it was — ^he introduced himself by saying
that if I had not yet heard from you, he could tell me that
you were arrived — I was much obliged to him but had re-
ceived a Letter soon after I parted from him yesterday — af-
ter some Conversation, he said he hoped I would come and
see him, that Lady Leigh particularly entreated it — I bowed
and told him he was very kind, made him no Promise and
tum'd the Conversation to something else — I was booted and
prepared for a Ride with M"" Manning — so that his Stay with
me was not long — ^At taking Leave, he he again press'd
me to come and take a Dinner with him in a friendly way

promise him — fear'd that I had some Reason for not coming
that I did not choose to express — ^ask'd me whether you
would have any objection to it — upon the whole he was so
very solicitous, that I was obliged to tell him that you did
not think it proper — he said he was sensible that there could
not be on a sudden that Cordiality on our Parts — ^but that he
hoped you would permit it to come by degrees — htg'd me
to write on the subject to you — ^ask'd me if you would take
it amiss of him if he were to write you a Letter — I answer'd
you would be glad to hear from him — he took his Leave in
an affectionate manner — I must confess that from my
knowledge of the People I would rather do them service at
a distance, than be within the reach of their Civilities —
My love to my Uncle and Aunt sisters and every Friend, I
congratulate them all upon their possessingyou again — and
you upon your safe Arrival among so many who love and
cherish you —

My Dear Father/
Your Letter of 14*** August was deliv-
er'd to me just as I had despaired of hearing any other In-
telligence of you than such general Accounts as I might by
chance gather from my Carolina Acquaintance — ^they were
all happy in comparing the advices of their Friends, I had
made fruitless Inquiries at M** Manning^s and the Coffee-
House ; youf Letters came the day after other people had
read theirs, to give me a Happiness that was heighten'd by
the preceding Contrast — what occasioned this extraordinary
Delay I have not yet discovered neither do I know what is
become of Mons*^ Rilliet and the papers said to be in his
possession.
I shall leave them for the present to make you hearty
Congratulations on the Success of our gallant Country-
men— to tell you with rapture that your desire of restoring
the Rights of Men, to those wretched Mortals who have so
long been unjustly deprived of them, coincides exactly
with my Feelings upon that Subject — and above all to thank
you for the permission which you have given me to return
to my Native Country — American papers of a late date
had been distributed before I received your Letter: and
the Battle of Sullivant's Island as described in Well's Ga-
zette* copied immediately by the English papers — ^but im-

partial People had been convinced even from S^ P. Parker's
own account; notwithstanding irksome truths had been sup-
press'dy and great pains had been taken by the choice of
expressions in relating the Matter to palliate his Defeat,
that the honour of a very clear Victory was due to our Coun-
trymen— I suppose you know that L** W". Campbell was
so condescending as to take the Command of the Bristol's
lower deck — it does not appear to me that the Ships went
near enough to your Fort, to attack it with advantage — ^yet
I am told that the Depth of Water was sufficient to admit
them close to the shore — if there is no sand bank or shoal
to serve as a natural defence, it was well imagined to place
the Fort at some distance from the Water's edge — for when
a ship can lay pretty near to the battery she places great
dependence upon the small Arms &ce in her Tops, the Men
stationed there pick off those who are employed in working
the Enemy's Guns — & it is on this account I think that the
parapets of Forts near the Water are made higher than
those of Fortifications in general are — Our spirits raised by
Coll** Moultrie's Victory have been proportionably sunk by
the accounts of our misfortunes at long Island* — ^but we
allow ourselves to hope that the next Intelligence will be
more favourable and that Revenge will be more active in
the minds of our Countrymen than Terror —
The equitable Conduct which you have resolved upon with
respect to your N^^oes, will tuidoubtedly meet with great
Opposition from interested Men — I have often conversed
upon the subject and I have scarcely ever met with a Native
of the Southern provinces or the W. Indies, who did not
obstinately recur to the most absurd Arguments in support
of Slavery — but it was easy to perceive that they consider'd
^Not Long Island, South Girolina. The fight that took place at Breech
Inlet, between Sullivans Island and Long Island (now Isle of Palms)
at the same time that the fleet and the fort were engaged decidedly
was not a "misfortune"* for the Americans.

only their own advantage arising from the Fact, and em-
barassed themselves very little about the Right — indeed
when driven from everything else — ^they generally exclaim'd
— Without Slaves how is it possible for us to be rich There
may be some Inconvenience and even Danger in advancing
Men suddenly from a state of Slavery, while possessed of
the manners and Principles incident to that State, there may
be danger I say in advancing such Men too suddenly to the
Rights of Freemen — ^the Example of Rome suffering from
Swarms of bad Citizens who were freedmen is a warning
to us to proceed with Caution ; and the necessity for it is an
Argument of the complete Mischief occasioned by our con-
tinued Usurpation — we have sunk the African and their de-
scendants below the standard of Humanity, and almost ren-
der'd them incapable of that Blessing which equal Heaven
bestow'd upon us all — ^by what shades and Degrees they are
to be brought to the happy state which you propose for them,
is not to be determined in a moment — ^whatever I can col-
lect from Books, and the Conversation of sensible Men shall
be carefully attended to and considered — in the meantime I
am glad to find that you had the same Confidence in me,
that I had in you — ^the Plan of agitation has been for some
time a favorite one of mine — ^and I should have written my
Thoughts as fully upon the Subject as I have spoken them
here to M"" Manning and others of our Friends who have
opposed me in it, but that the present State of our Affairs
seem'd to require the matter to be a little postponed.
Will you forgive me Sir for adding a Daughter in Law to
your Family without first asking your Consent — I must re-
serve particulars 'till I have the pleasure of seeing you — my
Wife M"^ Manning's youngest Daughter promises soon to

As I find M** Manning is still writing to the
W. Indies, I trouble him to forward this, tho' I have only
to repeat what my last contain'd — that all whom you love
here are well — ^but unhappy in being separated from you —
and that I am preparing to join you as soon as possible.

me, and I am the better pleased that it does, as M' Izard
whom it regards, seems to be very imeasy at not having
heard from you upon the subject and his affairs in general —

T. Farr to act under your direction and disburthcn you of
the more laborious Parts — that he would be glad to repeat
this Request — most of his Letters to you have been sent by
indirect Conveyances, and he thinks must have miscarried —
I delivered him the Message contained I think in your Let-

how closely you have been engaged in matters of more Im-
portance than Individual property —
My Wife desires her Duty to you and I remain your most

at
Fort Moultrie/
Charlestown. Jan 27: 1780=
Dear Major,
The signals of the French Frigates are a
Dutch Flag at the Main mast —
If the Enemy are upon the Coast a Blue Flag at the Main
Mast.
Please to add to your Estimate of Plank the Quantity which
will be necessary the repair the Planks in the Fort imme-
diately how the guns are, and [undfecipheraMe word]
place the Plank at [undecipherable word] Guard, and make
each note separate.
The General has informed me that the voice of the ma-
jority of the Regiments were that the Captains to fill up the
three retained regiments should be appointed by the Field
Officers after the Field officers had been elected by the
Governor and himself and that they had accordingly agreed
that the three regiments should be commissioned by the
following Field Officers, viz.
ICoV: Pinckney

RECORDS OF THE REGIMENTS OF THE SO. CA. LINE. 217
The General has ordered me to collect the sentiments of the
said F: officers with respect to the Captains for filling up
the line as soon as possible. To each regiment there are to
be Nine Captains now appointed. I shall be therefore glad
to receive your sentiments on the above subject by the very
first opportunity. For my own part, I think the mode least
liable to exception, will be to appoint the 2y Captains who
have been longest in Service. I dcm't mean the 27 Eldest
Captains, but the 2^ oldest officers who have now the rank
of Captain, as I think those officers who have been perhaps
three years in the service or more, and who have but lately
obtained the rank of Captain are entitletd to be preferred
on account of their long service to those who tho' Senior
Captains have not been in the Service altogether above a
year or two. But these are only my private sentiments on
this Matter, and I shall be happy to receive yours without
delay. When Col' : Scott arrives, be so good as to shew him
this Letter and tell him, I shall be glad to receive his sen-
timents on the same subject.
Yrs sincerely

THE HOULTRIES.
[From a sketch prepared in 1878 by the Rev. Gerard Moultrie of
South Leigh Vicarage, Oxfordshire, England, for Peter Gourdin, Esq.,
of St John's Parish, Berkeley County, South Carolina.]
The Moultries of Scotland, Lairds of Seaiield, Markinch
& Roscobie whose name is also spelled in the old manu-
scripts and charters, "Moutrays", Mowtrays" "Moultreres"
and "Moultrays" had as their family seat the Tower of
Seafield on the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh, Scotland,
which estate was confirmed to Richart Moultrare by Royal
Charter in 1443.
Adam de Multrere swore fealty to King Edward I. at
Berwick-on-Tweed, with the other Scottish gentry in A. D.
1292.
His name occurs, appended with his seal, as witness to a
deed for transfer of land in "Nurbiggying" to the abbot &
convent of S. Mary Newbottle in 1331. He lived in or near
Edinburgh probably on Moutray Hill, the name of the emi-
nence at the East end of Prince's Street (outside the old
city walls) now occupied by the Register House, immedi-
ately below Calton Hill. This would be near the estate &
old turreted mansion of Restalrig in the direction of Holy-
rood Palace & would be nearly opposite Seafield Tower
which stands visible from it on the other side of the Firth
of Forth (5 miles wide) in Fife.
Robert Multrare received in 1365 a Royal charter I
David n.,son of the Bruce, granting him lands in the 1
of Lastalrj'k CRestalrig) which had been confisc;
treason from John Coitus their late possessor.

230 so. CA. HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE.
Richard Multrare of Seafield Tower & Markinch re-
ceived a Royal charter confirming to him the Seafield &
Markinch lands in 1443. This is the earliest mention of the
family as connected with these estates so far as have yet
been discovered. Mariota ^lultrare had the lands of Pet-
dorming in Fife settled upon her on her marriage in 1449
with John Strang of Balcaskie — in Fife.
John Multrare succeeded his father Richard in the
Seafield & Markinch estates in 1469. Little is known of
him except that his wife's name was Gelis ("Heloise").
His name appears as Commissioner (representative of the
Lesser Barons & Burgesses) in the Scottish Parliament of
James IIL from A. D. 1469- 1478.
Thomas Multrare succeeded his father John in the es-
tate circ. 1478. In 1481 he married, by dispensation, Kath-
erine Bosville (Boswell) of Balmuto near Seafield. She
was fifth daughter of David Boseville "a man" as Douglas
writes, **of good parts & great strength of body, who died
at an advanced age about A. D. 1490. He was a lineal
descendant of Sieur Robert de Boseville, a man of high
rank in the Court of King William the Lion, who succeeded
to the throne of Scotland in A. D. 1165. The first of the
Bosevilles on record accompanied William the Conqueror
from Normandv & commanded a division of the Norman
army at the Battle of Hastings. Thomas Multrare was a
fierce & haughty man, constantly at feud with his neigh-
bors e. g. on the 5th of Februarj' 1484 he was invited to
surrender his person unto custody at Blackness Castle, the
state prison on the Firth of Forth "for the great offence
done agane our soverane Lt^rdis hienes ht Thomas Multrare
in the distntbling of a venerable fader in God the Abbott
of Dumfcniiling'*. Dumfermline was the Westminister
Ab1)ey of Scotland & its Abbott was a very august personage
indeed, occupying a ix)silion of dignity as high relatively
THE MOULTRIES. 231
as that in England of the Dean of Westminister. The "dis-
trubling" of such an Ecclesiastic was a daring operation,
even by a powerful noble. Multrare was to surrender
within eight days ; but he does not appear to have paid any
notice of any kind to the invitation. It was the turbulent
period of Scottish history when the barons headed by
Archibald Douglass (sumamed from the deed "Bell-the-
Cat"), hung from the parapet of Launderbridge the unpop-
ular favourites of the King, Cochrane, Torphicken & the
others, by the ropes of their tents; in spite of the earnest
appeal of Cochrane that a gentleman of his digfnity might
be accommodated with a silken halter, instead of coarse &
villainous hemp. The royal power fell into contempt foi
some time after this, & there was but little of law & order m
the kingdom. Of this state of things the laird of Seafield
no dqpbt availed himself.
David Boseville, Multrare's father-in-law, had married
Elizabeth daughter of Sir John Melville. His eldest daugh
ter (Katherine Multrare's sister) married Sir Robert Doug
lass of Lochleven progenitor to the Earls of Morton.
John Multrare succeeded his father Thomas, in 1500.
After holding the estates of Seafield & Markinch for four
years hd died, leaving two sons, John & Richard.
John Multrare inherited the estates in 1504. He mar-
ried the 5th daughter of Sir Alexander Stewart of Gar-
lies (ancestor to the present Earl of Galloway) who fell at
Flodden-field among the nobles who fell fighting round the
body of the King. Her mother Elizabeth was daughter to
Alexander Kennedy of Blairgnhan. Multrare's wife was
one of 16 daughters, all of whom married!!! There would
be no failure of Scotch cousins in our family if one only
knew where to look for them. Richard Multrare his
younger brother had in 1527, a lawsuit with the Earl of
Glammis his neighbour. Glammis Castle (of which not
232 so. CA. HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE.
even the niins are now visible) was in the parish of King-
hom, about a mile & three quarters from Seafield Tower.
It used formerly to be given in pledge by the Kings of Scot-
land for the payment of the dowers of the royal princesses.
At last an Earl of Glammis marrying a daughter of one of
the Kings, his royal father-in-law made him a present out-
right of the castle. The pleading is as follows : —
XXIX^ Marcii 1527.
"Anent the time assignit be the lordis of counsule to
Richard MuUrare agains Johne Lord Glammis for the
wrangcois spoliaciorm fra him of ane blak llors price
XXIIII marks furth of Guckkeith, that is to say, the said

with certificatioun an he comperrit nocht, the lordis wald re-

Richart als gude as it was the tjine of the said spulinge, be-
caus the mater was referrit to the said Richart's aith, wha
maid faith as is above written.'*
"Oftentimes calleil & appeared not". The fact is, poor
Lord Glammis had enough trouble on his hands at home
without hampering himself with lawsuits about black
horses or anything else. At this time he was engaged in an
extremely dangerous quarrel with his coimtess, the beautiful
and evil lady Janet, sister to Archibald Douglas ("Bell-
the-Cat**) earl of Angus, owing to the adherence of Lord
Glammis to the cause of the young King (James V.) who
was now endeavouring to free himself from the thraldom
of the I>ouglas faction. A few months after this lawsuit
she poisoned him. Ten years later, she was tried & con-
demned for an attempt, by the same means, on the life of
THE MOULTRIES. 233
the King himself. She was burnt alive on the rock of Edin-
burgh Castle, suffering her torments with the calm intrepid-
ity of her race, & enlisting the sympathy of the ignorant on
her behalf together with a belief of her innocence which has
misled some later historians. Her second husband, Camp-
bell of Skipnish, who w^as in confinement on the same
charge was dashed to pieces on the rocks of the Castle crags
in an attempt to escape from prison. Her son Lord Glam-
mis, a youth of 15, pleaded guilty to the charge, under tor-
ture. In the following reign he obtained a pardon & restor-
ation of his lands, on the plea of having made an untrue
confession under terror of the rack. The hostility of the
family however to the Lairds of Seafield continued to
smoulder. In 1535 John Multrare found himself under the
necessity of claiming the protection of the Crown against
George Earl of Rothes (a connection of the Glammis house)
"his mortale & deidly inymy, who had stoode with the said
John's unimyis & perseivit him of his lyfe."
A royal charter of James IV to this Laird of Seafield &
Markinch is interesting in its provisions as illustrating the
terms of feudal tenure. It is dated 151 1 (two years before
the battle of Flodden-field) & is thus addressed: —
**Jacobus dei gracia Rex Scotorum . . . Sciatis nos . . .
dedisse delicto nostro familiari Johanni Multrare iQtus et
integras terras nostras de le Newtown de Markinch ... in
dominis nostro de fyffe . . . tenendas et habendas" &c.
Then after sundry provisions as to forfeiture, in case of
his ever being convicted of murder or robberj- &c., comes
the requirements of him in war time as Crown Vassal.
"Ac sciam prelictus Johannes Multrare el heredes sive
inneniendo, pro qualibet deum liberta dictarum terrarum,

erativo, ad faciendum nobis servicium, in nortris guerris et

quarto".
Note : — "Librata terra contains four oxgangs of land &
every oxgang thirteen acres (skene) with us it is so much
land as is yearly worth 20 s.
The terms of the address in this charter shew that the
recipient was a man of some position at Court. The lands
are all mentioned by name in it. In the next year, 1512,
a few months before the battle of Flodden, when the Scot-
tish hosts were mustering for the war, another royal con-
firmatory charter is given to this Laird, prescribing yet again
the condition of his feudal service. The charter is given by
Sir Henry Wardlaw of Torrey, Knight, to John Multrare
& is confirmed by Royal Charter under the great seal. This
provision is added : —
"Volo sciam . . . pro me et heredibus meis quod dictus
Johannes &c. . mit liberi & quieti ab homagis, warda & re-
levio, & a secta alicujus civne, Reddendo inde annuatim . . .
tres denarious strivelingorum none libere feodifirme."
The first of these two charters is interesting as shewing
how many horsemen the Laird of Seafield took with him
to Flodden when he fought by the side of his father-in-law,
Stewart of Garlics, who fell in the nction.
John Multrare succeeded his father in 1540. By Royal
charter of Mary Queen of Scots, dated Edinburg Aug. 16,
1547 he received from her 4 acres of land in "Bniselland"
(is this the ancient name of Bumtistand?) held till then
by the famous James Kirkcaldy of Grange. It is possible
that this grant of land to a royal favourite (and apparent
confiscation from its owner) may have some bearing on the
early hostility of the Laird of Grange to Queen Mary. He

was one of the ablest soldiers of his day having learnt the
art of war in Germany ; & his leadership of the rebel army,
in conjunction with Murray, achieved the Victory of Lang-
side. That his real sympathies were however on the side
of royalty is evident from his desertion of his party & re-
turn to his allegiance to Mary during the time of her En-
glish captivify. He held Edinburgh Castle for her, against
Morton & the English army together with his friend Mart-
land of Lethington. On the final surrender of the Castle
Grange & his brother were executed at the Cross of Edin-
burgh, in the presence of an immense concourse of people.
It is clear from the following document that there was a
fierce quarrel between the lairds of Seafield & the Kirk-
caldys of Grange. It is dated some few years before
Queen Mary's grant of 4 acres. By it both parties are
bound over to keep the peace: —

John Multrare seems to have taken the Catholic side in
the dispute at the beginning of Queen Mary's reign. Kirk-
caldy of Grange, his enemy being a strong Protestant. In
the year 1560 the Protestant "Confession of Faith" was

gard to the layii^ on of hands the coi^^regation decided
that it was superfluous ''for albeit die apostles used the
inqxisition of hands^ yet seeing the mirack is ceased, the

tei;^ were to be elected by the people & examined by the
ministers & elders openly on the points then in controversy
between the Roman Church & die Protestant bodies, as well
as on Christian Doctrine generally. Parishes which could
not obtain a Minister were to be served by a "Reader** in-
stead, whose olfice it was to read the Common Prayers & the
H. Scripftures, but not to administer the "Sacraments" The
country was parcelled out into lo districts over which were
appointed lo Ministers who were called "Superintendents".
This was the Presbyterian system as adopted in Scodand at
the time ( 1 560) of the commencement of the reign of Eliz-
abeth in England.
Seafield Tower stands in the parish of Klinghom. To
this parish one of these "Readers" was sent, who was im-
mediately sent packing, bag & baggage, by John Multrare.
Proceedings were taken against him by the Lords of Se-
cret Council, sitting at Perth in 1564. Present the Earls
of Moray, Morton (Chancellor) Athol, & Lord Ruthven

So bitter was Kirkcaldy of Grange against Queen Miiry
for her favour shewn to the Moultries by the grant to them
of part of his land & against his neighbors the Moultries
for their devotion to the cause of the unfortunate Queen,
that when she was getting involved in her troubles in Ed-
inburgh after Damley's murder he caricatured her under
the figure of our crest This is Miss Strickland's account : —
"Among other cruel devices practiced, against Mary at
this season by her cowardly assailants, was the dissemina-
tion of gross personal caricatures which like the placards
charging her as an accomplice in her husband's murder,
were fixed on the doors of churches & other public places
in Edinburgh * * * Mary was peculiarly annoyed at one
of these productions called "The Mermaid" which repre-
sented her in the character of a crowned syren, with a scep-
tre formed of a fish's tail in her hand, & flanked with the
regal initials M. R. This curious specimen of party malig-
nity is still preserved in the state paper office. It is very
well drawn in pen & ink, and preserves a striking likeness
of Mary's lovely features, but with the melancholy expres-
sion of sickness & sorrow, and agreeing well with Drury's
description of her woeful appearance when assisting at the
services for the lepose of her husband's soul." — Life of
Mary Q. of Scots, Vol. i, p. 424 (Bohn).
Queen Mary paid a visit to Moultrie's cousin Boseville
(or Boswell) of Balmuto on her visit to Fife in 1565, just
before her marriage with Damley. Balmuto is close to
Seafield Tower.

Henry Moutray (sic) succeeded his father George in
1608. He was a wild & unsteady man, hampered by debt
& difficulties, which however did not repress his tendencies
to dangerous practical jokes of an offensive kind on his
neighbors. The following is a sing^ilar entry: —
4th July 1609.
"Act by the Lords of Privy Counsel at the instance of
James Gray in the Grange Myhee & others against Henry
Multray of Seyfield, Peter Name his servant, & his other

Henry Moultray died about A. D. 1618 leaving no male

Edinburgh & received Bichty fami at Markinch as her mar-
riage portion. Henry was succeeded in the estate by his
next brother Robert.

cobie for his nephews & died of consumption at Culross in
1672 Robert Moultrie had issue, one son Robert, who suc-
ceeded him.
Robert Moultrie succeeded his father Robert about two
years afterwards (1620). He married Lady Ann Erskine,
daughter of John Earl of Marr, a lineal descendant of Mal-
colm (III) Canmore King of Scotland and Edmund Iron-
side one of the Saxon Kings of England. This lady seems
not to have relished Seafield Tower & its wave-beaten walls.
Anvhow the old fortification & the lands at Markinch were
sold in 1631, to Archbishop Law of Glasgow for IQ,700
marks, and the estate of Rescobie (now spelt Ros-cobie)
in the royalty of Dumfermline, was bought instead. I-aw
was the prelate who offended Archbishop Laud by refusing
to wear the vestments at the Scotch Coronation of
Charles I. His grand-daughter Maria Law married Robert
Moultrie's son James in 1646.

records of the Lyon Office. Edinburgh, Vol. i p. 368 (A.
D. 1672-6)
"The arms of John Moultrie (sic) of Roscobie azur on a
chevron betwixt three escallops argent a Boar's head couped
sable & two spurr-revells gules ; on ane helmet befitting his
degree with a mantle gules double argent ; and a wreath of
his colloyrs is set for his Crest, a Mermaid proper. The
motto in ane escroU — Nunquam non fidelis".
Seton in his hand-book of hereldry thus speaks of the
escallop shell : —
"The escallop-shell is the well known badge of a pilgrim
from which word the surname Pringle has been fancifully
derived."
Tbe following lines are by Sir Walter Raleigh : —
"Give me my scallop-shell of quiet
My staff of faith to walk upon:
My scrip of joy, immortal diet,
My bottle of salvation,
My gown of glory (hopes true gage)
And thus ril make my pilgrimage."
"Towards the middle of the i6th century Pope Alex-
ander IV prohibited all but pilgrims who were truly noble
from assuming escallop shells as armorial ensigns."
A Mermaid "proper" means a mermaid coloured as she
would be in a painting: sc. flesh-coloured body: golden
hair, tail of a fish (perhaps green)
Robert Moultrie inherited the estates on the death of
his elder brother. He was married at Edinburg by Arnot
the Dean in 1681 to Marie, daughter of Sir William Scott

by Charles I in 1642) & Barbara Dalmakay his 2nd wife,

shire. He seems to have been a dissolute man. The inter-
mediaries in the marriage settlement for payment of the
lady's dowry were the Duke & Duchess of Hamilton & Sir
W. Drummond of Hawthomden whose name appears in
other parts of the documents. It is observable that in the
Ms. of this marriage settlement our name is spelt actually
in four different ways: — "Moutray, Mowtray, Moultray,
Moultry." Robert died in 1686 without lawful issue & was
succeeded by his younger brother James.

Seafield Tower: — In Sibbald's Fife page 314. the
Tower of Seafield is thus described :
"A little to the East of Kinghom upon the coast, is Vi-
car's Grange, where some marble is found; & eastward of
THE MOULTRIES. 243
that is the ruined Tower of Seafield, the ancient seat of the
Moutrays, \\'ashed by the sea. represented by the laird of
Roscobie; it is now the earl of Melvil's. Tcf the North of
both is Grange Kircaldie of old, the house of the ancient
family of the name of Kircaldie, some of whom were fa-
mous for their courage & prudence.'*
The old Tower still stands firm in its ruins. The walls
are of red sandstone. The dungeon (or cellar) at its base-
ment is hewn out of the red sandstone rock, on which the
tower is built, The interior of the Tower measures 20 feet
2 inches by 14 feet 4 inches There seems to have been at
least 5 storeys in the tower including the basement. The
exterior walls (5 feet thick) of all of them remain up to the
middle of the highest stor)\ but large gaps are opened in
the masonry in places, owing to the removal from the win-
dows, doors, & fireplaces of all the hewn-stone-rock. This
is especially the case in the Western wall of the Tower a
large portion of which has fallen from roof to basement.
The floors have all fallen, & the roof with a considerable
part of the top story is gone. The floor of the hall was
supported on a vaulted stone archway. The corbels of the
ceiling of the hall still remain. Remains of fosse and draw-
bridge are still visible. The foundations of buildings, ad-
joining the west of the tower, together with a flanking tur-
ret at the S. W. angle, are still to be traced. The view
from the tower is beautiful beyond description. South-
west the horizon of the North Sea is broken only by the
faint conical mass of the Bass rock. Southwards opposite
the tower is the bold outline of Berwick law: while further
westward in mid-channel, a couple of miles distant, lies
Tuchkeith, "I'isle des chevaux", where Dr. Johnson found
'•some good grass with rather a profusion of thistles."

town" (about 2 miles long) of Kirkcaldie lies in the bosom
of the bay, at the western extremity of which Seafield
Tower stands very prominently. The opposite horn of the
bay, is occupied by the ruins of Ravenscraig (or Ravens-
heugh) Castle, the ancient seat of the St. Clairs of Rosline,
Earls of Orkney : —
"Moor, moor the barge, ye gallant crew.
And gentle lady deign to stay;
Rest thou in Castle Ravensheugh,
Nor tempt the stormy firth today."
Scott's Ballad of Ros-abelle.
On the same coast, about a quarter of a mile west of
Seafield, is a large cavern, reported to communicate with
the house of Grange (half a mile northwards) I myself
penetrated with a candle for about 500 feet into it & then
found the way blocked with earth. The cavern is narrow
and high at its entrance & ver}^ broad & capacious in the
far interior ; reported to be a haunt for otters & badgers, of
which however, I saw none. Northward, the hillside rises
steeply above the tower & shelters it from the Northern
blasts. The coast is bold and rocky with beautiful sandy
coves, embosomed in walls of cliff, at frequent intervals.
Immediately under the walls of the tower such a cove offers
a delicious bathing place. It is an unsafe shore for boats,
owing to the half -submerged rocks which here & there shew
their dark backs ("dorsum inmane") above the boiling
waves, as much as a hundred yards or so from the
beach. The rocks on which the tower stand have
in parts a delicate rose-tint, which is very pretty,
as seen from a little distance. It was immediately
opposite to Seafield Tower that the celebrated naval
action began between Sir Andrew Wood of Leith
& the English Captain Stephen Bull, in the year 1490. Bull
waited for the return of Wood from a cruise, having shel-
tered his five ships of war behind the Isle of May. Wood

came on him without perceiving him till immediately be-
fore he was attacked, having only two ships with him, The
Flower & the Yellow Carvel. However he served out grog
to his men & they went to work with a will. The fighting
was so fierce that the ships drifted out of the Firth, grap-
pling with one another & the action was finally ended by
Bull's ships being captured, after a whole night & part of
the next morning, in the Firth of Tay, whither all the ves-
sels had drifted with the tide. A royal grant of land was
made at this time to the laird of Seafield^ near to the lands
given to Wood, whether for services rendered in this action
or not is not known.
Ros-coBiE the seat of the Moultries after 1631, is an ex-
tensive domain on high ground overlooking Loch Leven
from the North & extending nearly all the distance from
Loch Leven to Dumfermline. The names of the farms on
the estate were these, Woddiegrange, or Wodderhill, Red-
crairgs, Bowleys or Bohill, Blaimbothers, Kitherwood,
Corlpits, Pasbarith, Kingark, Craigencat. The estate was
also called Woodend the mansion being called Bumhench.
House & name have both disappeared, a portion of the old
stables remains, built as old inhabitants on the spot affirm,
by James Moultrie for his hunters. They are now made
into 6 labourers cottages. The arches for discharging the
hay from above into the manger still remain & shew for
what purpose the building was originally used. I myself
saw them there in 1876 & examined them with the present
lessee of the Roscobie lime works who lives close by in a
cottage still called Bow-hill. Royal charters of Charles L
exist, confirming the Roscobie estates to Robert Moultrie.
Other charters to the same effect exist in the name of John
Lord Erskine (Earl of Mar) & Sir John Murray of Touch-
adown. Robert had issue a son, James, who succeeded him.

that time. The earliest record that I have yet been able to
find of the arms of the famify is in "Nobiles Minores by
James Pont (M. S. ctrc 1630) : — Moutray of Sheffield
(Seafield) beareth arz: on a Cheveron A. a boare's head
couped sa, and two spurretels g. between three escallops of
the second."
Translated into intelligible English :
"Moultrie of Seafield has, for armorial bearings, an azure
blue shield with a silver chevron (gabled band) on which
is a black truncated boar's head with two red spur-rowels,
between three silver scallop-shells."
In heraldry a spur-rowel is styled a Mullet (Fr. Molette).
Does this emblem in our arms "cant" on the name. "Mul-
trae quesi Moletrier" i. e. the rider with the spur? and has
it anything to do with the red-tongued boar's head on the
chevron, between the red spurs?
With regard to these arms it is remarkable that they (&
the Motto) are identical with those of Auketell Moutray of
Favour Royal, County Tyrone, Ireland. Their crest how-
ever is now a hand with a dagger (the Erskine crest). Au-
ketell Moutray however sent me an impression in sealing
wax from the handle of a silver spoon which has been in
his family for at least a century on which is engraved a
Mermaid as crest. It is clear therefore that their arms were
once absolutely identical with ours. He is a man of old
estate & traces his family as far back as 1640 when there
was a marriage with the Erskines. Probably he is descended
from one of the Seafield Moultries who married another
Erskine & settled in Ireland where the Erskines had estates.
He has no record of any connection with Fife however or
even Scotland. The Erskines (from their relationship to
the Earl of Mar) were great favoiirites with James I of
England & received large grants of land in Ireland from
him.

"January 5lh, 1762, Mrs. Eleanor Austin run away with
Mr. John Moultrie and was marrid.**
Tradition hath it that Capt. Austin her father was op-
posed to this match. Capt. Austin who had been a merchant
in Charles Town returned to England where he lived upon
his estate Aston Hall in Shropshire. After a lapse of some
years the Hon. Henry Laurens undertook and effected a
reconciliation and when he went to England he took with
him a picture of Mrs. Eleanor Moultrie and her two sons,
John and James, which in the absence of Capt. Austin
from home he hung in the dining room at Aston Hall and
upon Capt. Austin's return home he was much incensed
with his servants for allowing a stranger to take such a lib-
erty but finally the reconciliation was affected through Mr.
Laurens. Mrs. Jane Moultrie wife of Maj. George Aus-
tin Moultrie writing to Mrs. E. A. Poyas in May 1849,
says:
"The picture you allude to of Mrs. Eleanor Moultrie and
her two sons, James on her lap and John my husband's
father, standing by her knee offering her a rose, still hangs
where Mr. Henry Laurens, perhaps, first placed it, in our
dining room at Aston Hall."
Note: — Capt. George Austin lies buried at Sheffnal
Church. He bequeathed Aston Hall to his grandson, John
Moultrie.

les Town in 1738 and died in London in 1826.

HISTORICAL NOTES.
A Tradition Confirmed. — On page 13 of his Life of
John C. Calhoun, Mr. Gustavus M. Pinckney states, upon
the authority of Hunter's biography of Calhoun, that one of
Calhoun's Caldwell uncles was a prisoner at St. Augustine
for nine months during the Revolution, and in a foot-note
he says that "Gen. Edward McCrady points out to the
author that this detail from the Hunter account is not his-
torically accurate." Gen. McCrady had in mind the paroled
prisoners sent in exile to St. Augustine from Charles Town
in 1780, among whom there was certainly no Caldwell, but
the following extract from The South-Carolina and Ameri-
can General Gazette of Thursday, February 27, 1777, will
show just when it was that Caldwell was imprisoned at St.
Augustine :
''ON the Morning of the 17th inst, Fort Mackintosh at Sitilla was at-
tacked by a large Party from Florida. The Garrison of the Stockade
consisted of about 50 Men, commanded by Capt Richard Winn, of
the South-Carolina Rangers. The Enemy kept up a smart Fire on the
Garrison for about 5 Hours, after which Lieut Col. Thomas Brown,
of the Florida Rangers, came with a Flag, and required the Garrison
to surrender, threatening, that in Case of Non-compliance, no Mercy
would be shewn. Capt. Winn demanded an Hour's Time to consider,
which was agreed to; in Answer to the Proposition, he soon informea
Capt Brown, by a Serjeant, that 'they were bound in Honour not to
comply with it, and that if they should fall into his Hands, they ex-
pected to be treated as Gentlemen and Prisoners of War.' The Ser-
jeant returned, bringing with him Lord and General Howe's Procla-
mation. Capt. Winn bid the Enemy Defiance ; a smait Fire inunediately
ensued, and was kept up on both Sides for ab6ut an Hour. Next Day
Lieut. Col. Fuser, of the Royal Americans, the commanding officer
of the Enemy, sent in a Message to Capt Winn, and desired he would
send out some of his Officers to see the Forces and their Preparationf
for the Attack. This was complied with, all the Officers, excepting
Capt Winn, going out. On their Return, they informed him of the
Enemy's Force being vastly superiour to his, and of their being provided
with 5 Field Pieces. It was therefore determined to surrender, and at
twelve o'Qock the Enemy were put in Possession of the Fort The
5

Garrison were allowed to keep their Baggage, were disarmed, and ex-
cepting two Officers, Lieutenants Caldwell and Miller, who are sent
to Augustine, were dismissed on their Parole, to be considered as Pris-
oners of War, till an equal Number is exchanged. They were escorted
some Distance to protect them from the Savages, who were very un-
ruly. The Force of the Enemy was about looo Men; 500 of them
Regulars, 100 Florida Rangers, the rest Indians. Of Capt. Winn's
Men 4 were wounded; the Loss of the Enemy was not known, but
several were seen carried off. Col. Harris, who went with a Party
from Fort Howe to the Assistance of Capt. Winn, fell in with a su-
perior Number of the Enemy, and was obliged to retire with the Loss
of 6 Men killed and taken."
By Col William Thomson's order book, published in Sal-
ley's History of Orangeburg County^ it will be seen that
a detachment under command of Capt. Winn was ordered to
duty in Georgia by Col. Thomson, December 28, 1776.
Columbians Water Supply in 1820. — "On Wednesday
morning last, the steam engine, put up by col. Blanding,
for the purpose of supplying the town of Columbia with
water, was set in operation before a large number of the
citizens and members of the Legislature. The pipe to the
lower basin was not complete, and of course the water could
not be propelled from the machine to the upper basin. But
as far as could be judged from the operation of the machine
alone, it gave universal approbation. A cleaner working
piece of machinery perhaps is not in the United States. It
appeared more like the movement of a celestial system than
a human invention, to see the complicated machinery in
active motion, with a balance-wheel of sixty hundred
weight, without the least noise or jar." — Columbia letter in
The Charleston Courier of Wednesday, December 20, 1820.
A Revolutionary Soldier. — ^The Iowa Society of the

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN HON. HENRY
LAURENS AND HIS SON, JOHN, 1777-1780.
[John Laureiis left England at the beginning of the year
1777, and reached Charles Town, April 15, 1777.^ Soon
thereafter he joined Gen. Washington's army in the North
and was taken into the Conimander-in-Qiief's official fam-
ily as an aide. His father was then in attendance upon the
Continental Congress, of which he was one of the five dele-
gates from South Carolina, and the correspondence which
had been carried on between father and son from 1772, when
the son went to England to complete his education, to the
* "On Tuesday Mr. John Laurens, our Vice-Presidents eldest Son, and
Mr. John White, of Philadelphia, arrived here from Europe, by Way
of the French West-Indies. These Gentlemen left London in the be-
ginning of January, when the Press for Seamen was still continued.
The British Ministry were much elated by the Advices just received
from the Howes, mentioning the surrender of Fom Washington, &c.
No Provision had been made Ijefore the Adjournment of Parliament
at Christmas for any Augmentation of the Army; the Advices then
received occasioned most of the Ministry being of Opinion, that any
considerable further Reinforcements would be unnecessary. It was
generally talked in London, that the Minority would make a Secession
from both Houses of Parliament upon any American Question. Mr.
Laurens saw Dr. Franklin in Paris in January. Every Mark of Re-
spect and Politeness had been shewn lo our venerable Ambassadour by
4 so. CA. HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE.
end of 1776,^ was now resumed. A part of John Laurens's
letters to his father have been pubHshed in The Army Cor-
rcspondoncc of Colonel John Laurens (New York, 1867),
edited by Wm. Gilniore Simms. Such of his letters to his
father^ as are not in that collection and are in the Laurens
Collection of the South Carolina Historical Society and
such of the original letters of the elder Laurens as are in
the Society's Laurens Collection follow.]

Will of the Almighty disposer of all events, having heard
of death & Wounds fated to our late friend White & other
Officers in the battle of German Town, inclined rather to
indulge a suspicion that with respect to you an ill judged
tenderness had tonguetied all my friends, your Letter of
the 5**^. came in — the well known inscription instantly dis-
sipated every gloomy Idea, but a sudden revulsion of joy
which as instantly followed cost [l)reak] Tear & brought
such a fit of trembling upon my whole [break of

I congratulate with my Country upon the good conduct &
safety of another Citizen who has dared to risque his Life
in her Cause — I congratulate with you, my Dear Son, with
my Daughter with all our friends upon your happy escape —
My own duty commands my presence upon this spot, if I
were free, I would at all hazard lame &' incapable as I am
of alert travelling fly to assist as your Nurse until you
should be able to take the field again** at this distance I can
only help you with prayers & good wishes & thank you for
the honour vou have done me.
Xo Man can doubt of your bravery, your own good sense
will point out the distinction between [break] Courage &
temerity nor need I tell you that it [break] much your duty
to preserve your own health & strength as it is to destroy an
Enemv.
Other Accounts do not import our loss to have been, as you
intimated, very considerable — & make that of the Enemy
alx)ut or upwards of 2000, & among these of killed &
wounded many Officers of distinguished rank — let me
know when you are able, the truth as fully & explicitly as
you can, adding such remarkable circumstances of the bat-
tle as you were witness to — what vou learn also of the En-
emy's Army their remaining numbers & disposition — & what
has happened on the River, Forts & Shipping — & Vcni will
further oblige Your faitliful friend & affectionate I\ilher

You know I abhor tell tales but these sounds hurt me ex-
ceedingly, I know the effects of loose Tongues, I know the
cnielty of tongues speaking the fulness of designing hearts
— nevertheless I am afraid there may be some ground for
some of these remarks, a good Heart may be too diffident,
too apprehensive of doing right righteous proper Acts, lest
such should be interpreted arbitrary — but good God, shall
we [break] five Hundred & destroy five Millions —
The subject is too delicate to dwell upon I wish I was well
acquainted with the Man whom I think, all in all, the first
of the Age, & that he would follow my advice he accepts
the opinion of some who have no superior claim all vanity
apart — the Crowd is too great on each hand all that I have
said is between us — I will only add that your continued

you are more strongly bound than you are by even Duty

Strangers by order of His Excellency — that there are no
vacancies of that kind which alone, foreigners of experi-

heads of those who had lx)m the heat and burthen of the
day would l^e exceedingly unpopular and occasion gjeat dis-
contents in the Army &c — all this was express'd with that
fyr/litencss which gives a man to understand that his wishes
would Ik: granted it circumstances would permit, and makes
the Refusal of his ofifer'd senices fall as light as possible —
The liaron in rejily hinted that his views were not so high
as those of manv Frenchmen who had seen less of militan'
Duty, and that he would l)e glad to sene as Volunteer if the
dcarness oi living were not too great for his Finances — he
said he had been ten Years in the service of the Emperor —
and two years anrl a half in that of France, during the War
in Poland — his Rank was that of first Lieutenant — The
Ciencral after answering as above told him that if he was in-
clined to apj>ly in i>erson to Congress he would return him
the Ixftter which he had brought from Doctor Franklin,
and that he might make what use of it he thought proper
— fnmi the appearance of the Baron I think he would be of
service as a Caj)tain if he could speak American, we want
good ofiicers of that rank more than anv Armv that ever
existed — a few men of exi)erience and proper milita.ry pride
in tliat grade might by their example produce great Re-
formation— the misfortune with us is that our Officers of
IMatoons besides their wanfof knowledge are many of them
loo dcs])icable to admit of any acquaintance between them
and their sii])erior Officers —
This morning we have heard a few Guns below, which are
signs of Life, and lead us to hope that our Forts are Still
in the ])ropcr hands — the continued Rain will increase the
inconvenience of the Enemys situation on Province Island —

Waiting for the Clerks of Secretary's has
detained an Express which would otherwise have been dis-
patched last Xight — the blameful delay, afforded me how-
ever, a prosj^ct of leisure for writing a little deliberately
to you — this was soon closed bv a General Fcrmoy who en-
grossed two hours of the Evening in order to present me
with business which properly conducted could not have oc-
cupied those minutes — the remainder was stole from me I

enquiry whether the Convention of Saratoga has been kept
perfectly whole on the part of U- Gen Burgoyne — an affair
which I would not have talked of as from me although 'tis
as common as any other topic. I hope there will be a pair
of Boots prepared for you some day this Week & if I can
get no other sort Fll send you woolen Gloves — I intend a
few Camp Shirts for you from a peice of Linen which
I brought from Carolina — I must write to that Country

My Dear Son
This will be delivered to you by Mons' le Cheva-
lier Lanuville a Gentleman w-ho at a very great expence
is come to offer his service in our Army, you will learn
from himself in a very few words, his pretensions & expec-
tations & in further conversation I believe you will find him
to be a Man of great Military talents —
He anxiously wishes for a Yes or a No — to his applica-
tions to Congress, this is his own Language — but as he had
determined to go to Camp, where the Committee of con-
ference to whom all power for the present is given, it was
judged best to defer an answer until their return — if you
can w^ith propriety — introduce him to some of those Gen-
tleman— I know you will shew him every civility that cir-
cumstances w-ill admit of — tell me your thoughts on our de-
termination to suspend the embarkation of M*^- Burgoyne —
I am not answerable for nor do I claim the merit of, the
manner in which the thing is ushered into the World, 'tis
plain & simple not free from exceptions I know — all that
was done while I sat in the Clair & is mere fringe & Law
from an infant manufactory — but for the thing itself, the
propriety the justice & the sound ])olicy I contended in the

of these officers who are sollicitous of being employed in the
American Service the eldest on condition of being made
Brigadier & the other at any rate, is derived from these Let-

A Floating Battery in 1813. — It has generally been be-
lieved of late years that the floating battery constructed in
Charleston Harbor at the beginning of the State's Rights
War, under direction of Gen. Trapier, from plans fur-
nished to Gen. Beauregard by the late Wm. Gilmore Simms,
was the first of its kind — in this part of the world at least.
But the following paragraph from the City Gazette and
Commercial Daily Advertiser for Wednesday, March 31,
1813, shows that the idea, at least, was not a new one to
Charleston :
**As the defence of the city is a subject which at present occupies
much of the attention of the citizens, and particularly the *Committc«e
of Twenty-One,' who have the subject under their more immediate
attention, we have deemed the present a favorable moment to publish
the article in the preceding columns on the utility, construction and
expense of a new and ingenious Floating Battery, which we respect-
fully recommend to the attention of our readers."
The article referred to was clipped from the New York
Western Star, and giv-es the plans in detail for constructing
a floating battery.

Hugh Smith Thompson, a member of the South Carolina
Historical Society, died at his residence, 55 East
53rd Street, New York City, on the night of Sunday,
November 20, 1904. He was born in Charleston, S. C,
January 24, 1836. He was reared in Greenville District,
S. C, where his father, Henry T. Thompson, farmed, at
the foot of Parris Mountain. He was a grandson of Hon,
Waddy Thompson, one of the Chancellors of the Court of
Equity of South Carolina for many years, and a nephew of
Gen. Waddy Thompson, sometime a member of Congress
from South Carolina and minister to Mexico during the
Harrison-Tyler administration. He was graduated from
the South Carolina Military Academy in 1856, and a year
later was elected an assistant professor at the Arsenal Acad-
emy at Columbia, and rose by regular promotion to captain,
having filled the professorships of French and Belles-Let-
tres. During the State's Rights War he was transferred to
the Citadel Academy in Charleston and saw service with
the battalion of Cadets in Charleston and at other points
in the State until the end of the war. After the war he
was elected principal of the Columbia Male Academy and
brought that institution to a high state of excellence. In
1874 he was elected president of the Richland Rifle Club,
the forerunner of the Governor*s Guards militia company.
The Richland Rifle Club took a prominent part in the trying
episodes of 1876, and under Thompson's captaiRcy the
Governor's Guards won the prize at the Inter-State drill at
the State Fair at Columbia in 1877. On the organization
of the Richland Battalion he was elected major, com-
mander, and later was elected colonel of the Palmetto Regi-
NECROLOGY. 45
ment, and commanded the provisional regiment which the
State sent to the Yorktown celebration in 1881. In the
State Democratic Convention of 1876 he was unanimously
nominated for State Superintendent of Education, al-
though not a candidate for the nomination, and was unani-
mously renominated in 1878 and in 1880, and would have
been renominated without opposition in 1882 had he not
withdrawn at the request of leading members of the
Board of Trustees of South Carolina College, who desired
to press him for the presidency of the College to succeed
President Wm. Porcher Miles, who had resigned. He was
offered the superintendency of the South Carolina Military
Academy at Charleston in the same year and declined it.
When the State Democratic Convention met in Columbia in
1882 there were two announced candidates for the office of
governor. Quite unexpectedly Hon. W. L. Mauldin, of
Greenville, nominated Col. Thompson. Hon. E. B. Murray,
of Anderson, arose and announced that Col. Thompson
had requested him to say that he was not a candidate and
could not be a candidate and that if the Convention nomi-
nated him it would be the wish of the Convention and not
his. Col. Thompson afterwards sent a peremptory demand
that his name be withdrawn, but the Convention preferred
him and he was nominated. He was renominated in 1884
without opposition and reelected. In t886, at the request
of President Cleveland, Governor Thompson visited Wash-
ington, and, shortly after his return to Columbia, the Presi-
dent offered him the position of United States Commis-
sioner of Education, but he declined it. On the 28th of
June, 1886, the President tendered him the appointment of
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, which he accepted, re-
signing the office of governor. Owing to the illness of
Secretary Manning, and, later, to the frequent absence of
Secretary Fairchild, who succeeded Manning, he was often
at the head of the Treasury Department. As such head he
occupied, temporarily, a seat in the President's Cabinet, and
it fell to him, on more than one occasion, at times of great
financial crisis in Wall Street, to avert public panic by his

coolness, foresight and business acumen. During the sitm-
nier of 1887 ^'^^ Department bought from $10,000,000 to
$12,000,000 worth of Government bonds. On September
2 1 St., on the eve of a public crisis, in order to strengthen
public confidence in the Government, Governor Thompson,
who was acting as Secretary at the time, suggested to the
President that a circular be published offering to purchase
$14,000,000 more of the bonds. When the circular appeared
on Wall Street the next day the effect was electrical and the
crisis was averted. After the defeat of the Democratic
ticket in 1888 President Cleveland nominated Assistant Sec-
retary Thompson for a position on the Civil Service Com-
mission, but the Senate failed to confirm his nomination.
After the inauguration of President Harrison seventy-five
out of seventy-six United States Senators petitioned the
President to appoint former Assistant Secretary Thompson
to the same position and the nomination was accordingly
sent to the Senate on May 7, 1889, and it was promptly
ca.ifirmed. When the New York Life Insurance Company
was reorganized in the spring of 1892, former Secretary of
the Treasurv Fairchild was made chairman of the board of
trustees, and, at the same time, the office of comptroller
was created by the company and was offered to Commis-
sioner Thompson wlio accepted it, and in this position he
served until his death.

My Dear Son—
Your friend & felluw Soldier DuPlussie leaves
York Town with a heart full ol' happineaa as yours & mine
used to be when M'. Staytape had brought home the New
Coat — he will tell you everything.
More time will he re<iuired for me to consider the propriety
of your echenie IWr raising a bhiL-k llegiment, than you seem
to have taken for conferting the prnject — there is nothing'
reasonable, which you can airk i I refuse — I will not refuae 1
this, if after mature deliberution you will say it is reason-
able — but before you can mature sueh a plan many con-.
sideratioMs are to be had which I am persuaded have not
yet taken place in your mind — a Work of this importance
must be entered ujioii with Ciiutioii & great ciroumspection,

Otherwise a Man will be reduced to the ridicoloas state of
the Fox who had lost his Tail.
This is a very serious k important afiair which shall have
every proper degree of respect paid to it in my future con-
templations A we will determine when we meet — ^I will close
the subject at present by a frank declaration that I am more
inclined to give than to leave you an Estate — it cuts rae
deep when I allow my self to think the chance for the latter
is rather against me. —
Congress last Xight confirmed an Act consisting of much
recital iS: many Resolutions, calculated for retaliating the
Injuries k Insults oftered by the Enemy to the Inhabitants
of these States when made Prisoners — this when the Secre-
tary's Clerks are pleased to Copy — will be transmitted &
published in your Camp —
My dear Son I pray God to keep you — Henry Laurens.

My Dear Son— ^
M'. DuPlessis who went from York I be-
lieve on Friday did roe the honour to bear a Letter to you —
I did not tell you then that the Marquis delafayette is ofiered
a Command upon an intended expedition into Canada
which will separate him from the General — there can be
nothing else intended but honour to the Marqaia ft benefit
p the Public. — (jOiR-ral (.'ninmy i> voted aecoiid in Com-

General Conway vallcil on niu .V snt an hour, he introtluceil
the unhappy dispute subsiatinjc with the General, & assured
me there were no such words in his Letter to Gen. Gates us
those ijuoted by the General — this he had learned from G.
Gates he had not kept a Copy of his Letter — pniy can you
explain thia Mystery — but you know tis not my wisli or de-
sire to pry improperly into the ati'airs of other Men — thift
itidcc<l may be called u public atlair & I am afraid will be-
come very public — but as one party lias appealed to niu Si.
the friends of the other delivered their sentiments, I have
some Claim upon each to inform me truly. —
Hy the continual passing of Officers from your ('amp one
would think you had all broke up fur the holj-days — what
vondiiion are you in ? do you ever exercise your thoughts
on that question, or do you go r>n like an honest fearless
nninquisitive unsuspecting Lad ?

have totally overlooked every other subject on which I hft*|l
addressed you in several late Letters — the coiiclasi

ifl unavoitlable — if any good shall arise from a prosecution
of it — the merit will b« solely youra — for now, I
undertake to say there is not a Man in America <
joor opinion Nay you will not be of your own opinioK
after a little reflection — 'tis evident you want to raise |
Kegiment, as evident you have not digested a plan — admit
ting, which I admit only for argument, you have a right t
remnve a Man from one state of Slavery into another — or I
yon iilease into a state of servitude which will he esteemoi
by him infinitely worse than Slavery — what right have jw
to exchange A Barter, "Women & Children" in whom yoi
prelind to say you have 110 property? —
The very same observation may he made with respect I
the Men — for you have either property in them, oryou have '
not — admitting the latter which you seem to acknowledge,
n|>on what ground of justice will you insist upon their in-
listing for Soldiers, as the condition of their enfrancbise-
loent. — if they are free — tell them so — set them at full
liberty — & then address them in the language of a recruiting
OffictT to any other free Men — & if, four in forty take yoar
in1i?ting bounty, it will be very extraordinary, this small
nnmbcr will do it throngh ignorance & three of the four be
ruturned as Deserters in a very short time —
All this by no means intimates that I am an Advocate for
Slavery — you know I am not, therefore it is unnecessary to
attempt a vindication —
The more I think of & the more I have consulted on, yoar
scheme, the less I approve of it — Wisdom dictates that I
slionld rather oppose than barely not consent to it — batlo-
diilgencu & friendship warranted by Wisdom, bids me let
you take you own course & draw selfconviction — therefore

THE TOWN OF DOKCUESTER, IN SOUTH CARD
LINA— A SKETCH OF ITS HISTORY.
By HBuay A. M, Smith.
Aliout twenty-six mileg from the city of Cbarleston;
the north bank of the Aahley River, and about nix inilee
a aouthweBtwardly direction from the railroad ilfjiot in
present town of Summerville can be seen an old t-burt
lower with an overgrown disuseil graveyard around it, aadi
eomc two hundred paces farther on — on the edge of tbca
river — are the walk of nit old fort, vonetructed of that mit-f
ture of shells in lime mortar formerly called "tapia"
"tabby".* These two conspicuous objecta, with so
scattered and shapelesB masses of brick at irregular intervalBj|
marking the flitoa of former liouaee, are all that remains c
the town of Dorchester, once a comparatively flourishing
hamlet in the Low-Country of South Carolina, but whid
with the leaser hamlets of Jamestown, New London t
Will town, Jackson borough, Purrysburgh and Somerton,andB
the atiti losaer, or only projected, villagea of Radnor, AshlejH
Ferry, Childsbury and Chatham, has ao long been desertet
that its story has been nearly forgotten, and its very sitl
nearly obliterated.
In the caee of Dorchester ila frequent mention in hiatorifii
of the Revolution of 1775-1783 in South Carolina; the fact
that it gave its nnme to one of the ecclesiastical and political
divisions of the Province and State, viz: the parish of St.
G-eorge, Doreheater, joined to its vicinity to the town c
Summerville have conspired to preserve its name, the tn
dition of its former existence, and the place of its location,
but beyond this practically nothing else is generally known
concerning itd history. It haa cost no little lime and labour
tn dig out of vaniahing records the following account of its.,
origin and fitte.

The creek near the village of Mt. Pleaeanl, now called
Sheni, was originalty Sheiu-ee Creek.'
The land included in the grunt in 1678 to Arthar Mirf
illeton of 1,780 acres on Goose Creek (on a part of which
the present Olrantocliib-hoiise stands) ia called "Yeslioe",'
and in thu grant to .Tames Muore ol 2,400 acres on Foster's
Creek in 1683, the lands are described as known by th*—
Indian names of Boo-chaw-ee and Wapensaw,' The India)
name of Foster's Creek was Appee-hee."
The appellation Boo-shoo-ec was not confined to the siti
of the futnre village on the riverside, but was applied to thl
low land in the vicinity as "Boshoe Swamp" and generaH;
to the whole tract or plantiition of 1,800 acres.
It is spelt very vnriouBly in the old deeds and plnta, V
Boasoo, Boshoe, Bosho, Uoosho, Booshooe, Boosoo, Boesc
Boseua, Boocbaw-ee, etc.
The high land or blutF on the river where the village n
afterwards located was, at the time of ita location and aftej
wards, an "old fiidd" and probably the site of the tirat clei
ing and settlement of John Smith.
John Smith, of Boo-ahoo, died prior to December, 1C81
as in December, 1682, hia widow, Mary, married Arthu]
Middleton, and on tlie death of the latter, about 1684, mil*
ried Ralph Izard.'
John Smith seems to huve left no children, and in some
way his grant for 1,800 acres must have lapsed to the State
or the method of a new grunt must have been adopted so as
to confer a good tille. for in the year 1696 this same 1,800
Bcrea ia re-granted to the settlera who were to confer upon
it the name of DorchL'stor.

spot where the rilUge of Dorchester was sfterwarda laid
oat, i. e. aboTe the old Boo-ehoo Bettlement.
This WUliKin Kormaa was probably the one of that nam«
mentiooed id ihe above list as of Carolioa. Pose'ibly to hia
deaire for neighboarB of congenial apiritaal and Bocial d\e-
poaition was due the origioml snggeetioo of the colonjr. Of i
the reat of the li8t,Joehaa Brooke, Nathaniel Billings, Qeorge
Fox and Simon Dakeii do not appear, from any records we
have, to have ever aettled in Carolina — at least their iiiimua
nowhere appear among the actual land-owners at Dorobea«<
icr.
There are two other references to the settlement in the
records of the Dorchester Charch lu MassacbnttettB.
"December 5", 1695 — The church for Carolina set sail
from Boston Dec 14" ut night the skift'waa neer run and',

And again :

The first of these entries, viz: that of December 5tb, 1695,
was evidently made after its nominal date, as it mentions
the date of Bailing, the 14lh, nine days after the apparent
date of the entry. The expression as to the "other vessels"

must refer to ^-cssela other tliaii the one that carried the
"Church", iia we shall see presently by Elder Pratt's diary
tliere was but one vessel which at that time conveyed the
members of" the Cliurch. It only marks the contrast beliveon
the quick pnssuge of the vessel that carried the '"Church"
and the time taken by other vis»i;ls wliicli sailed about the
line time.
The statement as ro the communion celebrated on the 2d
'ebruary. 1C05/6, bying the first tvcr celebrated in Cftrnliiia
ifl entirely erroneous. There had existed in Charles Town
fi>r many years before tliat dme the Church of Kiighmd,
known as 8t. I'hilip'i*, on the site where St. Michael'M
("hurch now stands; also a "Meeting" House, or a Congre-
gutiunnl Church, upon Meeting Street, sui>p03ed upon the
present site of the Circular Church, as w-ell as a Huguenot,
or French Protestant Church, on or neiir tlic site of the
present French Protestant Church, on a lot orijrinally
granted to one Michael Lnvinge, a carpenter, and which
having been sold by Lovinge to Arthur Middleton wns by
the latter's widow with her husband, Ralph Izard (whom
«hc married after Middleton's death). Bold to Jiinicj N ichotls
the 5th May, 1687, "for the us-e of ihecommoMalty of the
'reiich Church in Charleston".'*
There can be no possible doubt but that communion had
n repeatedly celebrated in these churches according to
r respective rituals long before the emigraliou from Dor-
iCBtcr, Massachusetts.
The entry of lat November, 1696, is worthy of note as
lowing that the name "Newington", wliich was the name
Ten to the plantation of Mrs. (generally stjlcd "Dame" or
Fttdy") Rchc-cea Axtell, ihe widow of Landgrave Daniel
xtfill, had come into general use, evidencing that she had
iir aomc time been settled there.

"Elder Pratt and bis companion also went to Landgrave

"We were very kindly entertiiined at every place where

Elder Pratt in this .contemporaneous entry docs not claim
the communion administered on the 2d. February, 1696, as
the tirat celebration of the Lord's Supper ever had in Caro-
lina.
The first assertion of this appears in the entry made in
the records of the church at Dorchester, Massachuaette, as
of 2nd Ftbrunry, 1696, evidently made by the person who
kept the records from communicalions from Carolina.
Thence it seems to have crept into a farewell sermon
preached by the Rev. Mr. Danforth when a year later Elder
Pratt (having in the meanwhile returned to New England)
again embarked for Carolina. This sermon seems to have
been printed iu 1697, and is cit^ed in Holmes's American

if any others of the "Church" than hi» own family camO
with him, hut as the records of the Massachusetts churcb
show that two months previous, viz: November 1, 161)0,
Deacon Sumner's wife and family, and his brother, Samuct
Sumner, with his wife and family, with Peter O'lvelly'a
wife and six ohilJren, had been dismissed to the church'
near Newington, since called Dorchester, in all probability"
they accompanied Elder Pratt on this second voyage, anil
with the latter and his family, eoneisling uf his wife, £liza>9
both Baker Pratt, and daughter, TImukful Pratt, constituted;
the departing friends to wliom the Uev. Mr. Dnnforth ad-i
dressed bis valedictory sermon printed in 1697. The eon-
fusion made of these two departures is also evidently th^
origin of the elutoment in Mr. Howe'a history that the3^
sailed on the 14th December, 1()95, in two small vessels/
whereas Ekkr I'ratt, in his eoiitemporaiieous diary mention^
but one.
During Elder Pratt'i* absence in New England the land ^"
had boon finally secured. On 7th July, 1696, a grant was
made to John Steveus ot the very 1,800 acres, known as
THE TOWK OF D0BCHE8TEB, IN SOUTH CAHOLINA. 71
Soo-shoo, formerly granted to Joliii Smith." Another tract
«f 2,250 acres lay to tlie west of the Boo-ch'H) timt on the
Ashley Kiver, filling tlie intervening space bttivccn ilio line
irf the grant to John Smith tind tlie 320 jicre grunt to Wm.
•JJormnn and the Newingtoii grant «{ Linly Axtcll. Thin
had apparently heen granted or transferred to, and was in
tiie possession of a Mr. liose, aiwl whb knnwii as "Uosc'h"
or "Rose's land". Exiictly how this was ohtaitR-d from Rose
or why new grants wire made the record does not diseloHu,
but on the 1st Feliraary, 1699-1700, two new grants were
Issued to John Stevens, one for the 1,800 acres, or Uoo-shoo
tract, and the other for the 2,2o0, ()r "Jtose's" tract— 4,050
acres in alln.
These grants altho' issued to John Stevens, individnully,
were for the henctit of the intending settlers of the "Chnreh",
the detds made by John Stevens to them soon show.
Elder Pratt and .he rest of the "Church" having arrived
In February, 1697; the land procured was divided. Elder
Pratt states in his diary:
The 23* of March in the year 1697 the church and
trthers that were concerned did draw loots tlie 24"' day that
■11 meet together to stake out and mark their loots in the
trading town on both daya when they met together on
tiiose occasions there was love aud amity and peace in what
Was acted"
The division was then mude and determined by lot. The
^lace styled by the Elder "the trading town" was what was
■fterwurds known as the village of Dorchester, which on the
dild niap ts stated to have heen Inid out us a place of trade.
A map and division was made of the whole 4,050 acres, and
le term Dorchester, or Township of Dorchester, was uji-
plied to Ihe whole, the village site being only the place of
Bude in Dorchester. The old name Booshoo, however, long
'fnrvivcd. In the deeds from John Stevens the tract of
4,050 acres is always (lescribed as consisting of two tracts,

one called Boosboo and Ihe other Ito«e'a. The "Koi
land" baving betrii obtained ufter the Boo-sboo tract is som
tjmefi called the "Xew Grant" or "Xew Granted".
In a convoj-iuice from the Itev. Mr. Lord to Jirhn Hawk
4th March, 1716-17, of 100 acres it is described aa l>ingfl
"partly in that part of the land belonging to Durch<;stttr:j
which is commonly calletl the New Grant partly in tb
formerly called Bo&soo."
As time went on and Ihe villuge grew in size and import
unce the name Dorclietiter was restricted, but universal^
applied, to this town and the older designations were foi
gotten.
The map showing the Jirision of the whole 4,050 acrM
has long since disappeared. Only by a comparison of dcoA
and adjoining titles can Ihe lines and divisions be nppro^
malely arrived at.
Elder Pratt's.diary shows that the "Charoh" were not I
sole occupiers of these divisions, fur his entry says that tit
Church "and ulherf that irere f>nftT)»«f ' drew lots for t'
shares.
There appears to have been a division into tivcuty-s
parts, for John Stevens, in his conveyance of the land to li
used for Ihe support of Ihe church ministry, after cnuveyii
certain specitic lots, conveys l-26th uf alt undivided laud i
Dorchester. This undivided luud consisted of 123 i
reserved for mill land near the mouth of the creek ua itfl
north side, and a "commons" of 50 acres adjacent to tin
place of trade. Wlien the mill land was afternards suS
divided it was into 26 lots of 4i acres each, aud the "con(
roone" into lots of about 2 acres each.
The old de.'dd show the general division of the 4,050 u<
to have been ua follows:
There was first set aside about 50 acres, sub-divided i
115 hits of about a quarter of an acre each iti size to form i
"place of trade".
Space was left for a public square and for streets, aud aS.
areji of abtmt 20 acres between the town and the crec
where it enters the river was also left for public use. ,
^
!• .„
THE TOWN OF DOScnESTER, IS 80DTU RAROLINA. 73
A "coramoiis" of about 50 to 52 acres was set oflF adjacent
to the town, immediately to the west. An area of 123 acres
wan set aside for mill purposes nnd called "mill land". This
123 acres lay north of the town, along Boslioe Creek, and
included the low land on each side of ihc creek.
The remRindcr of the land was laid oft' in two divisionB.
The first division consisted of two ranges. The first range
consisted of 26 lots of 60 acres eaK-h laid off along the Aih-
luy Hiver, euch lut heing about 10 clmius wide in its tront-
iigc on the river, and running back 50 chuina. The number-
ing begun at lot No. 1, next to William Norman's line,
about a third of a mile west of the present Bacon's Bridge,
and were numbered successively down toward the town.
Lot No. 26 being next to the "commons".
The second range of the first division lay immediately
north of the first range, from which it was separated by an
highway, and was divided into 26 lots of 45 acres each.
The second division lay immediately north of the second
range from which it was also separated by an highwny, and
was likewise divided into 26 lots of 45 ucres each.
The present village of Stallsville and the eastern part of
the town of Sumraerville, viz; from about Fourth South
Street on Ihe north and Sumter Avenue on the west are on
part of this second division of the 4,050 acres — on part of
the 2,250 acres known as Rose's or the New Grant.
The list of the settlers has not come down to us. The
occupiers of the lots were not confined to them, but from
datu derived from later transfers, wills and conveyances the
following appear to have formed Bubat.iniiully ull of the new
— (ttlers who receivt-d lots in the division :
1. Juhn Steiens. He was in Carolina before the others

There has been a tendency to depict this settlement as
imethiiig unusual — a band of enthusiastic missionaries
Tftarrying the Gospel into a primeval wilderness.

and again they sailed "toward the land God had giveu thci
as an inhcritauco, not knowing whither they went", and
agnin that they settled "h«re in the midst of an unbroken
forest inhabited by beasts of prey and savage men twenb
miles from the dwellings of uny whites they took np tb^
nbodo".
All this is rhetorical but not historical. Mr. Howe dt«l
art liis aulhority a acrmon styled "The Hand of God liccOj^
nized", preached by the Bev. Mr. George Sheldon on th(
22d. February, 1846, in the Congregational Church at Dot
clioster, in observance of the 150lh atiniversary of thi^t
church. This sermon docs make similar stafemente, hot
the reverend author gives no references for his statement*.
The contemporaneous records show otherwise. Tb*
"Church" debated between two points, Boushoo and Ne»
London. They were enterlainod and housed at both place!
by persons who had already settled. The lands they tinallj
settled on had been granted away and settled by another 31
years previously. They w«re surrounded by settlers who hai
preceded them, viz: Lord Shaftesbury's barony with its s
tlomcnt lay to the south, on the opposite side of the river
West of them were the settlements of Col, Andrew Per
cival (granted in 1682), of William Norman (1684), of Bem
jiimin Waring, of Lady Axtell at Newinsrton, East, alon^
the Asliley River, the entire land was taken up already tj
!;rar)t8 and settlements, iind northeast of them, about sti
miles otl' towards the head of Qooae Creek, was another am
(juite numerous group of settlomenta dating from 10 16 91
yours previous.
Elder Pratt himself says in his diary that Mr. Lord's firi
preaching was attended by "all y* next neighbours", aiu
that persons even came from 10 miles around.
tt is not even certain that the church building, conBtructa<j
by the t>(>rehestcr immigration, was the first church build
ing constructed in that section.

The data as to the town of Dorclitstcr iiinl its early his-

Dp, and the town, lying at the heaJ of niU'iLfation on the
Ashley River, bccami! a tradiiiir jilace iiml point of (listrihii-
tion. It stood nt a point capable of oiisy det'iiice and of i-asy
communication by water with CIi&Hgs Town, niid iIhh 1k--
enme a point of support and refiiije fmin Indian invasion:;.
The settlers in Dorcliester hojrini to over How. If wiis oa.<y
to obtain grants of land, and ninny giants were ohtiiintil
higher up and across the Ashley liivcr, e;?pcc-iidly in thu

Merchants established themselves in the town. The
streets are not named on tlie plan, and the mily mimes Unit
have come down tliro' the deeds iire tlie "I'ay", lyinir aloni:
the river, and "(ieorge" Street, llie stieel running to the
"Broad Path" or public road.
Gillaon Clapp was a merchiint '■'on the Hay" in 1724, innl
in 1722 Thomas Satur, of Borcliestur, -lacfili Siitnr, ot Lon-
don, Eleazer Allen, of Charles Town, and Wlllijini ISheit,
Jr., of Charles Town, formod a oo-ptirtncrship to tarry cm
trade at Dorchester.
In 1708 Dorchester was a small town cmiluining ahont
350 souls.
In 1706 the Rev, Joseph Lord nrotc to a friend in Massa-
chusetts that the country was* more lrL'i|iio!i(cd by way of
trade.
In 1706 the Act for the estiiblishmcnt of the Church of
England in the Province was pftssed. Six ]mrislies were
created, and Dorchester was ineludt-d in St. Andrew'-^ Pnriwh.
In 1715 the Veraasiee Indian War broke oni, and the en-
tire province south of the Ptoiio River waa deviistatud.
The Yemassee invasion itself seems never to have reached
Dorche-iter, hut an invasion of the Indiana ti) the northward,
which took place at the same time, was more tlireatening
This invasion was met by Capt. George Chicken at llic head
of the Goose Creek militia, and a decisive defeat was in-
tlicted upon the Indians at a place styled in the old accounts
"The Ponds".

The Yemassee War inflicteil a terrible losa oii the Province^
jiikI lor many years delayed the settlement of the Province
to the soutli of Ashley River.
In 1719 St. Andrew's Parish was divided, and the npper
]iortion, including DorehtRter and tlie surrounding territory,
was created a separate parish and called St. George,
A church waa directed to he built at a point to he Hi:lect«d'
by a majority of the commissioners named with the ap>
provul of a majority of the inhabitantit of the parish of the
prolcssioti of the Clmrvh of England who should contribute
to the building. The conimiaaioners were: Alexander
Bkcnc, Capt. Walter Izard, Thomas Dieton, Samuel Wragg,
.lohn Cantcy, Thomas Waring and Jacob Satur,
The place selected for the church was tlie place for a place
of trade or Dorchester town.
The pariah church, with its surrounding graveyard,
then placed in the town on lot» Nob, 62, 53, 54, 55 and 56.
The parish then contained 110 English families, amoi
ing to about 500 persons, and 1,300 slaves. The town now
began to forge ahead. Koads were extended by stalute intA
the surrounding country, and in 1722 the bridges ovor the
Ashley — Stevens's liridgo (now Bacon's IJridge) a
Waring's Bridge (now Slann's Bridge) were confirinfid
public bridges.
In 1723 an Act was passed for settling a fair and markets
in the town of Dorchester, in Berkeley County, ''behig
frontier in that part ot the Country".
Lin 1734 an Act was passed lor the founding and erectinj^
II free school at the town of Dorchester, in the parisli of Si.
George, and in the same year an Act waa passed to clear
out the Ashley Kiver up ta Slatin's Bridge.
A bridge across the river, opposite the town of Doruliester,
had already been bui|t.

place of worship was constructed there for their c(»nvenionee.
The "Church" hnd acfjuired 95 ucros in two tnii:l» on tlie
"B*ch Hill" toad, and on one of these tnicts, not far from
the parish line of St. Paul's, the building for worship wa»
constructed. The congregation being pmetieidly the same
as that at Dorcheater, one minister aerved at both places on
alternate Sundays.
In 1752-^6 a general exodus of these eongrcgations took
place to Georgia. The reasons, as stutod in tlicir records,
were lack of sufficient lands for their increasing nnnibcr:*,
and the unhealthiness of Dorehcnter and Beecli Hill. In
1752 they procured two griinta of land, aggregating 31,9.50
acres on the coast of Georgia' between tlie Mudway and
Newport rivers, in what sulisiiquentty became Liberty
County. Nearly all of the coiigregatiuns of the Dorchester
and Beech Hill churches with their minister, ihe Rev. John
Osgood, removed. The names of the settlers who look up
the 31 ,950 acres and their subsequent history is fully detailed
by the Rev. Mr. Slacey, in his Illsi-ni of M'uUcoy Ch"r':l;
to which reference hiis already beuii ninde.
The eflect of their removal was jii actieally the death blow
to the Congregational Church in St. George's I'arish, Bor-
chcBter. No settled minister was hud tit perform servicM.
The building at Beeeh Hill, being of wood, sixiii pcrisliod.
From that date the history of Durcliester ceau-s to bu the
history of a Congregational settlement and beeumes the his-
tory of the village of Durehewter and the parish of St.
George, Dorchester.

After the close of the lievoliilionary War Dorchester
rapidly decayed. Several rcaaoiia conduced to thipi.
Its military and defensive position entirely departed with
the growth of the middle and ujiper country and tliu ex-
teusion of tlie frontier. With tlie development and increase
of roads and the acconi panning river navigation, Dorclii-ster
eeuecd to be a point of any coniTnereiid irjiportinicc the
pointd of reception and distribution of merebandlsc being
shifted with the arowtb of the cfmntry. The country im-
mediately around Dorchester was neither fertile or populous,
and its population was composed of planters who could and
did deal directly with Charles Town. Finally its locution
was an unhealthy one, and entirely unsuited for the pur-
poses of H summer resort for the surrounding planter!-.

cesi^ive rain and moisture. It was found to be free from thi

but crumhlins yWcs of broken fragmeiit-i of brick were ]ert
to mark the sites of the henrlhs of the olil I'lie.
Jacob Williniaii, in his lifu, parted with soiuo of the jiine
land, anil on his (tenth the remniiiiJer was coiivcyo'l to
Thomas Moore, hy whose direetion a part was laiil «tt' as a
town in 1832. The part laid otf being wluit was formerly
called "Old Suramerville", lying west of a line beginning
about the house now oeeupied hy Mr. L. A, Emerson, at the
corner of First South and Palmetto streets, and running in
a southerly direction to the houses now occupied by Mr. E.
P. Guerard, an Sumter Avenue and Sixth South Street, and
thence easterly across Red Hill.
About the same time as Moore had "Old Sumniervillo"
laid out and platted the South Carolina Canal and Uuilroad
Company had "New Summerville" laid out as a town — ad-
jacent to and east of "Old Summerville". This lay on |iari
oi the grant to Robert Fenwieke in 1701, whieh part of the
grant, with one of the lots in tlie accnnd divisiun of the
Dorchester tract of 4,050 ucn-s, became the pruperty of
Oershom Hawks and descended to Mosca Hawk'> by whose
executors they "ere conveyed in 1737 to Daniel Stewart by
whose son, John Stewart, they were in 17G0 convoyed to
Samuel Wninwright, under wlmsc will they parsed to his
nephew, Richard VVainwrtght. Under an execntion against
Richard Wwinwright they were sob! in 1802 t.t Robert Dewar.
and, on a division of Ro'-ert Dewar's property in 1831, were
sold to the Soutl Carolina Canal and Railroad Company.
By that company the portion adjacent to and on each side
of the railroad was laid out for a town, and now comprises
the larger part of the town of Summerville.

setts,
THE OLD PABISH CHURCH.
The most conspicuous object remaining on the ute of
old village of Dorchester is the ruined tower of the
church. This is all that ia left of the Parish Church of
Ueorge's, Dorchester. It is not as is sometimes Bupp<
the Congregationul Church of the old immigrants from Dot^
cheater, Masaacbuselts, but the church constructed when the
Church of England was the eatabliahed church of the
Province. The Statute providing tor its conetructioii wm
enacted in 1719. This Statute appropriated £333.6s
(Carolina paper currency) to assist in defraying the cofit
const ructiou.
Lots 52, 53, 54. 55 and 56 ia the vilhige of Dorcheeti
abunt an acre and a quarter, facing the public square,
purchased as a !«ite for the church and church-yard. A gli
of 150 acres within the limits ot the Dorchester 4,050 uci
was also purchased.
The parish then contained 115 English families, niiml
ing about 500 eouU, and 1,300 slaves.
The commissioners appointed by Statute fur building
church procuredasubscriplion of £1,196, to which the Gi
cral Assembly adde<i £466. The work of construction
begun in 171'.>, unii in 1720 all the outer work wastiuishi
The church was of brick, 50 feet long by 30 wide, besides
the chancel. In 1724 the glebe and parsonage bein^ fouud
inconveniently distant from the church, by uuthorily givw
by a Statute, the old glebe and parsonage were suld am
new one purchased. The new glebe was lot '2a in the
range, fronting on Ashley River 50 acres, with 25 acres In
the second range — 75 ucrea in all. The parsonage building
was on the north side of the public roud, about a quarter of a

tbiie west of the church. It is now uwned by Mr. Juhn
Griraball. Some large ouks ami a few wooden buildiiiKB
mark the site.
In 1734 a Statute was passed recitini; tliat the church waa
in a very decayed and ruinous condition, and also too BtnaU
for the inhabitants of the piirish, and directing the veatry
and church wardens to repair and new pew the church and
make an addition to it. In 17.36 the repairs bad advanced
but were not yet tiniahed. In 1739 £300 (currency) was ap-
propriated by Parliament for a parnOTiage house. In 1752 ,
the parishioners bad eularged the parsonage, added out»
buildings and purchased two ne^roe" for the service of th* 1
rector. They had also built a handsome steeple to the, I
church and bad opened a subscription tor a ring of bell* I
which were afterwards obtained. Two of these bells artf I
stated by the author of Carolina in the OliUn Time in heV 1
later work styled Our Forefathers to have been given to thei I
church of St. Paul's, Radclifieboro, in the city of Charles-
tOD.
During the Revolutionary War, the church is said to have
Buffered dilapidation at the hands of the British, and at the
close was in a nearly ruinous state. It was slightly re]>aired
in 1811, and divine service was held in it again, but the re-
vivification was transient. Its congregation hod departed.
There was neither 8Upp.>rt nor congregation for it, although'
after the Revolutionary War the few remaining members'
of the congregation bad been incorporated as the Episcopal^ 1
Church of St. George's, Darchesttr. The growing settle^' ,
ment of Sunimerville established a place fur worship whicht
as more convenient for the summer residents who wer8<
members of the Church of England was attended by them,
and in winter, when he summer population was scattered
on the plantations, the majority attended the church of St.
Paul's, Stono, about sixteen miles distant. In 1720 thft' ]
church is stated by Ur. Dalcho, the bialorian of the Diocea^'
lu be in a ruinous state, without a rector, its records all lo8t«' '

Snme ycBTB later it took fire from one of the many fin
that annoally devuBtated the woods of the Low-Couutq
and its roof and most of the woodwork wub dentroyt-d.
The hrick walls — oven to their foundations — were atones
removed by the surrouoding vandals, and nothing reniaim
save the tower. The earthquake of 1886 nearly completed
the deetruction of this, leaving hut a remnant still standing)
The clinrch-yurd was the hereditary burying plat
many of the families of this neighborhood; the Bhikcf
Izard-} and others. In 1841 one of that family of Izard
died, and wuo hronght for burial in the old family lot.
that occasion the late Mr. \Vm. lenrd Bull, of Ashley llall|
a nephew of the deceased, caused to be thrown up nrouai
the ruined church and churth-yanl the present earth eM
bankment, so as to clearly and forever mark and set agids
the resting place of hie ancestors. In 1837 the vestry of tl
church in Summerville, in whom hy Statute the par8ona(
had been vested, sold it away. The old church and cburcl
yard now belong to the Diocese of Booth Carolina.
,THK OLD FORT.
The old fort that faces the old church stands on the tcq
of the rise or blutf of the river bank where it commanded
the bridge across the river and the approach to it. It is V
cated partly on lot 13 in the plan of the old village am
partly on the street leading to the bridge head. It is thi
most perfect example remaining in the State of a fort of tl
period. It is constructed of the material called "tapia'
more commonly "tabby". This is composed of oyster shells
embedded in a bond or matrix of burnt shell lime, and
forms a must durable and lusting eomposilion. The exact, _
date of its construction is unknown. The material of i^
construction ^^ves no certoin indication as "tabby" was um
for such purposes from an early date in the history of tl
Province down to as late as 1812. There are the remMflj
ol a tort constructed of that material on "Cole's Island"
TliK TOIVN UP nOUIJIIESTEK, IX SOLTII CAHOLISA. 91
' thu north side of Stoui) Inlet, which was coiiatructed during
the war of 1812.
There is a trudition that the fort was coevnl with the
settlement of Dorchester, and was relied on ns a defence
against the Indian enemies of the Province. No record
support of this exists, although U is plausible and likely,
On the plan of the village as originally laid out in 16(17, as
afterwards, in 1742, recorded in the office of the Secretary
of State, no fort is set down, although the site of the pariah
church, constructed in 1719, is mentioned. There are a
number of appropriations for fortifications in the tax Acts
passed by the Aasembly from 1740 on, but in none of such
as are published in the Statutes at Large ia any specific
mention made of the fort at Dorchester.
In 1775 the Council of Safety ot the Province directed
Dorchester to be torlitii'd, and in December, 1775, they di-
rected Fort Lyttelton, near Beaufort, to be repaired with
"tappy". Commissi onerri of fortifications for Dorchester
were appointed by the Council of Safety, and in December,
1775, urgency wua recommended to them in the erection of
barracks, a guard room, and a place for confinement of
prisoners; and on January 31, 1776, the Council of Safety
anihorized the payment of £760.10.07 on account of the for-
tification of Dorchester, and in February the military stores
were placed in the fort and nntfiazine ut Durehefter, wiih a
furiher piiymeiit of £271.10.00 on February, 6, 1776, for
hire of negroes on the works at Dorchester.
Whatever fort or strong.work may have existed prior to
1775 it is safe to infer that the present tort tepresents the
fortification constructed in that year by order of the Council
of Safety. ^
THE OLD CONOaBQATlONAL MEETING HOUSE.

There is nothing to show the steps taken under this Act,
but on March 19, 1 756, iin Act was passed for more etteetualiy
putting in force the iiroviaions of the former Act of 1734.
It recited that the commissioners under the former Al-i
were all dead, and appointed the following new coni-
missioners to execute the Act, viz: The rector of the parish
for the time being, and Henry Middlcton, Walter Izard,
Ralph tzard, Daniel Blake, John Ainslie, Esqrs., Mr. Ben-
jamin Waring, Mr. Richard Waring and Mr. Joseph Waring,
The minute book from this date is in existence, and shows
that the first meeting of the commissioners, under the new
Act, was held June 27, 1757. The meeting was hold in the
vestry room of the parish church in Dorchester, and the
commissioners present were the Rev. Mr. Langhorue,

uonimiAsion were all prominent and influential L-itizviia of
the Province.
A legacy of jCfiOO (currency), left for tlie school by Mr.
Thomas Digton, was paid to the commission, and the treas-
urer reported that he had in his hands £2,600 (currency) to
be pnt out at interest. The commissioners went to work
and at their meeting on March 27. 1758. ordered tliat iwo
brick honscs, twetity-three feet wide and thirty-six feet lonsr,
one story high, with a Dutch roof, be bailt — one to serve
for the school and the other as a dwelling for the master and
his family.
The houses were shortly completed, and the school con-
tinued in active existence and operation in the village of
Dorchester for many years. A large number of donations
were made — among the most prominent were one
by Samuel Wragg of XlOO (sterling) for the erection of a fn
school, one of jESOO (currency) by Peter Taylor in 1764, and
one of £380 (currency) by Daniel Blake in the same year —
the two latter to be let out at interest, and the income ap-
plied to supjiortiiig pour children who might thereafter be
charitably educated at the free eoliool.

these works are all of some service. But where are they?
Only a few private cnllections and that of the Charleston
Library Society contain a tenth of these books anil pam-
phlets. The library of South Carolina College has a small
collection of them, those of Winthrop and Clcmsoii colleiics
Btill smaller collections, while the Citadel has next to nothing,
and the State Library is a diegrnce to the State. Almost
every important library in the North and aevoral in the
West contain a larger collection of South Carolina books
than either of our State institutions, and these libraries are
adding every such book that they can find, while our State
institutions either have not the funds Mrith which to buy
them or prefer unreliable encyclopredie works by oulsidcrs.
Students of historical and economical qui-^tions in all parts
of the Union are turning their attention to South Carolina a.s
a fruitful field for study, but when they come here they
find tons of valuable records of which they can make little
nse because of the chaotic condition in which they are kept,
and very few of the books which have been published about
our State, and such books as they do find are neither classi-
fied, catalogued nor indexed. I'erhaps there arc those who
think historical work and the proper fireservution of his-
torical records of no practical value. Just let such people
take a glance at the foregoing extract from the Mussachu-
aetts newspaper, or let them ask Senator Tillman if South
Carolina's claim against the Genera] Government could ever
have been settled without the papers in the case, and if he
found any difficulty in getting those papers. If we are
always ready to show wimt we have doTie, so will we be
better able to show what we can do.

My Dear Son —
While James Custer is Copying a very short
Address to Your General, I will employ myself in acknow-
ledging the receipt of your favours of the 28*** flTebry &
9** Inst — at another opportunity I may reply specially to
parts which at present must lie dormant.
I will certainly this day, make some provision for those
distressed fellow Citizens of whom you speak & address
M' Franklin through your means — there are obvious ob-
jections against a proposal by me for more general contribu-
tion. I have once or twice hinted such a thing, & made
very little impression; tis my Duty Charitably to conclude
that every Man does in private as he plea^^es & that every
one does somewhat toward the relief of sufterers in our great
Cause — nevertheless my inly sentiments in this peculiar
case are, that our Light should shine before Men — were we
possessed of the Spirit of Patriotism which flashed in 1775
— there would be Contributions, at this critical moment not
only for the comforting of sick & naked prisoners but for
the relief of all suffering Soldiers — for the support con-
104 so. OA. HISTORICAL AND OBICBALOOICAL MAGAZINE.
Bervation & augmentation of the Army & we shoald enable
Your General that great & good Man to drive out our In-
vaders — but alas! that virtue now appears to have been a
mere ,^(wA— every man has bought his Yoke of Oxen, has
married a Wife & stays to prove them — often have you heard
me ludicrously express ray fears that my Countrymen in
general would prove only good fi)r the Quarter —not for the
Course — the present time too well confirms the remark —
from the best accounts, from all Accounts, & I have oppor-
tunities of receiving the best, you lie at the Mercy of our
Enemies, who may disposses & drive you, & in that Act
animate our bosom — ^Enemies throw the States into con-
sternation & shake our Independency — Yet alas ! although
all see & acknowledge the danger is not in fancy only, yet
time is toyed away — a Senate of 18 — Members, seldom above
17 — against whose honesty & good meaning I make no
exception —
Wisdom is justified of her Children —
I have in my own name called & called again upon the
States to fill up their several Representations — the Oov-
ernors k Presidents see & acknowledge the necessity — &
there it ends —
Men are engaged in private views — some are afraid of
Expense k coarse fare and others of being exposed in high
Characters & dangerous situations — & too many are lalK>ur-
ing at all hazards to add field to field —
the Villians of exalted Rank who have been plundering
our Treasury k starving our Cause contribute all their force
to keep us dovm & my jealousies that some of these are in
contact with Sir William — ^grow strong.
If there are patriots, Men who love Country more than
pelf — let them step forth & cast their gifts or loans into the
Treasury, some by money & some by services without Re-
ward—others may, because they have ability, give both — I
would wish to be in the first Class & subscribe to morrow
five or Ten thousand pounds Sterling & if these were
found insofficieut off m^ Estate shall be given for saving the
LAURBKS 00RBE8P0NDEKCE. 105
Public — & perhaps tliere will be tband in this proposition
much of prudeat calculation — ^give part to save the remain-
der— be that as it may, or put me into either Class I am
chearf ully disposed to pr»)ceed provided I have any prospect
of success, but at present I have none — proper subscriptions
by, sure we may find on this contenent from New Ham)>-
shire to Georgia, 500 wealthy Men — would raise near three
Millions Sterling return your Paper into the Treasury &
animate the Middle & lower Ranks of people to adven-
ture Life & fortune 'in proportion— I have sounded some
breasts on this important subject — but all were cold, applaud
the scheme — "if Men would do so it would certainly relieve
us" — & there was all— can I then believe that Men are in
earnest — yes I see they are in Earnest to plunder the Com-
mon Stock — ^the very manner of our proceeding in the
Issuing our Money — leads rapidly on to ruin — what com-
phiints has your General been making, for many Months
past— without the least good effect—how have delinquents
not only been skreened — but held up in triumph & can
you prevail on me to remain longer among sucti people —
No — I will rather insist upon your abandoning them —
but indeed, there, are sometimes my hopes, where you are —
A species of Patriotism may at length spring forth from the
Army & so far save this- Country as to drive out the
Enemy & punish sluggish torpid friends — these Ideas have
been Ions: in my mind I may have expressed them in some
late uncopied Letter if they are worth your reflexion retain
my meaning & destroy the paper record—
I dont understand your meaning where you mention Du
Plessis books, neither can James assist me, that Gentleman
left no Books here —
Baron Holzendorff is gone to So Carolina exceedingly
chagrined by the treatment he met with here — poor Man, I
almost wept when I learned by a mere accident that he had
been obliged to sell his Silver hilted Sword & Epaulets,
&c. to pay for his Lodging — I instantly put him a step
above such necessity — & have given him Letters to Charles

My Dear Father
My Heart overflows with gratitude for your
kind letter of 29* uU* — You grant me a privilege which I
wished to have but dared not solUcit — I shall serve my
country with greater satisfaction, and regarding you as the
source of all my happiness, and the author of every laudable
action of which I am capable, answer your friendship with
increasing love — I have drawn no pay, and would wish
never to draw any — making to my country a pure oftering
of disinterested services —
The strong Linnen will be very acceptable to Berry, and
I rejoice the more at the present you make him, as he con-
ducts himself with great propriety in his station — I could
not get a Taylor conveniently, but as small a quantity will
serve him as almost any man —
I have been so much engaged, in business preparatory to
our move that I have not been able to get my dispatches for
France, ready to go by this messenger — but I hope to be in
time if I send them by the next.
The method of sending Baron de Steuben's Commission
was according to rule — I have > spoken to the General on
Cap* Nichols's business — he consents to his going into Phil-
adelphia on his parole for the purpose of negotiating his
exchange — and I shall immediately give notice to the Com-
missary of Prisoners to take the proper measures.
General Weedon is not yet arrived —

Doctor Cochran understanding that some new arrange-
ments are to*take place in the hospital department — desires
me to refer you to a letter wWch the General wrote in his
favor some time ago, and to add whatever I know in his
favor — he joined the army at a time when our afiairs wore
a very unfavorable aspect; — he is remarkably tender of his
patients — if I have any doubts of him it is that like all the
rest of his department, he may lose time by a convivial dis-
position—
The army has been under marching orders for three days
past — despairing of being able to eflTect anything important
by pursuing the enemy through Jersey our arrangements
seem to be made for marching as expeditiously and conve-
viently as possible to the N« River — Gen». Maxwell with his
continentals aided by the militia of the Country are to throw
every obstacle in the way of the enemy's march, by break-
ing up bridges, encumbering the Roads with fallen trees,
&c — and to give them as much annoyance as possible on
their flanks and rear — the last intelligence from below, is
that upwards of one hundred vessels have fallen down below
Chester — and were proceeding towards the capes — a Deserter
who came out yesterday says that notwithstanding the
greatest diligence is used in embarking baggage, &c — that
it will be impossible for the evacuation to be eft*ected in less
than five or six days — not much dependence can be placed
on his account — the fact is that they are indefatigable in pre-
paring for this great move — my opinion is that as soon as
they have crossed, a select body of two or three thousand
men should march directly to intersect their line of march
and give them every possible annoyance till the whole army
sh* be brought up^the directions already given to throw
impediments in the enemy's way will necessarily cause great
delay in their march, besides that which will arise from the
galling of their rear and flanks by Maxwell and the Militia —
wo*** give time for this chosen body to arrive and give mpre
eflectual annoyance, while our whole army would advance
to support the whole— the Country is favorable to this kind

of combat — ^the loss of the enemy in killed, wounded, and
deserters in repeated skirmii^hes would be considerable —
and some opening may be given for such a stroke as w* ruin
M' Clintons array — the want of teams, the number of sick —
&c — & — are exceedingly against us and point out a more
prudent conduct — all that I have written on this subject you
will be so kind as to consider in the light of a private opin-
ion delivered by a man of more zeal than judgement and
expressed in the greatest haste — if my time w* permit I
should be glad to unfold my ideas more, & to enter minute-
ly into the matter —
I hope to make an arrangement for payini^ you a short
visit when the army moves —
God preserve you my dearest friend and father.

I must not omit mentioning to yon
that Gen*. Grant is said to be universally
blamed in the british army, for the
failure of the expedition against the
Marquis — his extreme caution favoured
our retreat.

My Dear Father
I have received your kind favor alluding to the
verbal demonstration by which my friend Beresford was
bamboozled — and was indulged with the perusal of your
Letter to the General in which you treat the matter in its
proper light
The Enemy's superiority by Water give them cruel
advantages over us—
Baylor's Regiment of Horse lias been surprised by a
strong Party of the Enemy that surrounded them by coming

up the North River — a number of Militia shared the same
fate few escaped — the greatest part being taken Prisoners
or killed — several were butcher'd in x5old Blood — the Enemy
are now in force on tlie Jersey side, und make a shew of ad-
vancing— General Lord Stirling is gone to take the Command
of the two Brigades of Continental Troops and such Militia
as shall collect to them — General Winds has already em-
bodied six hundred.
The circumstances of the Enemy's collecting forage is
equivocal, it may be either for Winter Quarters or Sea
Shore
The intelligence given by General Sullivan of the Enemy's
being employed in building Barracks is against a move from
thence — but I am inclined to think his Intelligence ill
founded. — The Enemy may still meditate an Enierprize
against Boston, which has been delayed till now by the sickly
condition of Byron's Crews, and the injury which he sut-
fur'd from the storm— but I do not think it probable.
This Letter would be inexcuseable if I had not been
writing the whole day, and snatched now a Moment when
the Postman calls— to scribble full speed, rather than be
totally silent.

companied them — I have taken the farther liberty to draw
upon you for twelve hundred and twelve dollars — which
from the various expence and ill-luck in which I have been
involved, I was necessitated to do in order to avoid touch-
ing my pay—
I promice myself the pleasure of setting out for Phil-
adelphia in three days— at farthest — The particulars of the
enemys movements, and the Generals disposition in conse-
quence will be transmitted to you in his official letter — how-
ever improDable it is that the enemy may meditate any stroke
against the French Squadron— and Boston at this late sea-
son—after having given us so much time to prepare our-
selves— and when their attention is so powerfully called
another way — the General prudently determines to leave
nothing to chance — all that I dread is the disadvantage
of getting our troops late into Winter Quarters —
I still continue to be of opinion that the british will
be obliged to abandon a part of their possessions for the
security of the rest — Gibraltar and the W. India Islands
together with Halifax and Quebec require considerable re-
inforcements— I cannot persuade myself that they will leave
New York & Rhode Island feebly garrisoned or to the pro-
tection of foreign Troops and new levies —
The stroke on the Island of Dominica by the Marquis de
bonille was not wanted to awaken their fears for the West
Indies — and they have their dispositions to make not only
in consequence of the measures taken to france — ^but with
a view to what may be meditated by the other branch of
bourbon—
Conversing with you by letter will now yield to the greater
happiness of personal embraces and the unrestrained over-
flowings of my gratitude and love —
'till we meet I commend my dear father to God's pro-
tection and remain

made his will, and August 18, 1695, John Alston married
Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, widow of John Harris and sister of
Francis Turgis, Esq.« He was one of the sureties on the
bond his wife executed to Governor Blake, on the last date
given above, as executrix of Harris's estate.*

governor of South Carolina.
*John Harris, in his will, dated February 8, i692/3, appointed his
"Loveing Brother Mr: ffrancis Turges" one of his executors. (Re-
cords of the Governor and Ordinary of the Province of South Caro-
lina, Probate Court, Charleston County, book 1, p. 111.) Francis
Turgis married Elizabeth Axtell, daughter of Landgrave Daniel Ax-
tell, and, after Turgis's death, she married Governor Blake.
sAugust 13, 1695, John Alston, gentleman, Mrs. Elizabeth Haxris,
alias Alston, John Guffell and Thomas Hubbard, all of Berkel^
County, executed their bond to Governor Blake for Mrs. Alston's
faithful performance of her trust as executrix of the estate of John

The old fort at Dorcubster, S. C. — In the last number
of this ma«razine there appeared a very able and interesting
historical sketch of the town, the people, and the ueighbor-
htKMJ, (»f old Dorchester. The author, Mr. Henry A. M.
Smith, has spared no pains to make a complete study of his
subject. It is to be hoped that more paperd of the tauje
thorough research and critical method may be found in
the contents of the Magazine fur the future.
Some description of the fort has been given in the article
referred t<>; but it has been thought that additional particu-
lars concerning its size, shape, and present condition, would
interest further the readers of Mr. Smith's article.
On a visit to Snmmerville about two years ago, the writer
accompanied and assisted by Mr. W. Russell Dehon, exam-
ined th^ site of the old town of Dorchester and its fort, chiefly
for the purpose of taking bearings and measurements of the
latter. These were considered accurate enough,, though
made with only an excellent pocket-compass and a tape-line.

Situated on the left bank of the Ashley River, overlooking
the stream, on ground fifty feet distant from, and about fif-
teen feet above, the water, the little fort remains to this day
in good preservation. This is limited, however, to its plan,
profile, and material of construction. Its interior, partly
filled with earth and d6bris of brick-work, is grown up with
trees, bushes, and vines. Its plan is that of a square redoubt
with half-bastions at each of the four angles, which were
probably once armed with swivels or light field-pieces. Its
profile shows, now, an enclosing wall, from three to four
feet thick, the base covered by debris, the top fi'om seven to
eight feet above the average level of the interior. The trace
of the enclosing wall is unbroken with two exceptions — a
sally-port, three fe^t wide, on the face farthest from the
river, and a breach in the half-bastion nearest to the river,
where the wall has been levelled to the ground. Here, a
drive-way for carts and wagons seems to have been made iu
recent years, to facilitate the removal of bricks from the
interior for direct transportation on the river, close at hand.
The material used for the walls was a concrete of broken
oyster-shells and lime called " tabby", always found, when
well made, to be close, firm, and durable. Brick was used
also in some places for a coping of the parapet, and,, no
doubt, for magazines and other structures : these latter have
all been demolished, but the coping of brick-work is still to
be seen on the western wall.
Mr. Smith's judgment as to the date of the building of the
present fort — 1775 — is entirely supported by the facts and
conditions of the case. No eu6h work would have been
built in the time of the Indian wars : the early settlei^ could
protect themselves with stockades and block-houses.
The illustration appended to these notes will serve to show
the form, bearings, and dimensions of the fort at Dorchester.
It was only a little more than one hundred feet sauare on
the interior lines. On the river side, it commanded the ap-
proach to the town for perhaps a half-mile, with its small
cannon. On the land side, an infantry fire, delivered over
the parapet from a banquette, could be verj^ eflTective.

In the sketch of th<s history of Dorchester published
in the April Number of the Magazine, the writer stated
that he conld find no documentary proof of the exis-
tence of the old furt at Dorchester prior to the fortification
constructed in 1775 under the orders of the Provincial
Council of Safety.
Since then Mr. Langdon Cheves has called my attention
to the following extract from the will of John Skene, of
St. George's, Esq. The will is dated 1 June 1768, and is
recorded in the Probate Court tor Charleston County in
book 1767-1770. John Skene owned and resided upon a
plantation of 3000 acres in St George's Parish on the south
side of Ashley River and just opposite the town of Dor-
chester. This plantation was part of the original 12000 acre
barony of the Earl of Shaftesbury.

A CRivscoBUR Story. — To The Editor of The SouthCaroUna
Historical and Genealogical Magazine: — An eminent New
England scholar in his study of Hetor St. John Cr^vecoeur's
works, has found in the rare '^ Voyage dans la haute Penn-
sylvanie", published at Paris in 1801, reference to a Mr. Bull,
'^ a Georgia planter*', who led a gipsy life in the mountain
region between Tennessee and the.Carolinas during the
Revolution."
The New England scholar says that St. John Crfevecoeur,
in the book tells how Mr. Bull, an old man in the latter years
of our Revolution, left his plantation for fear of the Tories,
EI8T0BI0AL KOTBS. 181
and took to the. Carolina forest, moving northward and
avoiding the army of Cornwallis. Cr^vecoeor professes
to have found him near Fincastle in Virginia, and to have
heard from him the details of his gipsy life with his family
and his negroes from April, 1778, to 1782, after the surren-
der of Cornwallis at Yorktown. They planted crops each
year, hunted for game and fed their cattle and horses on the
rich pasturage of the bottom-lands.
He quotes ^^ Mr. Bull " as follows :
^^Alone in the midst of these vast solitudes we had for
witnesses of our labor only the sweet melodious meadow-
lark, the jay, the chattering boblincorn, the tufted starling,
the bold king-bird, the shrill whistling cat-bird, and the
thrushes with their gentle, harmonious notes. These birds,
with the mock-bird, ignorant of the destructive power of
man, were constantly about us, and seemed to view us with
curiosity rather than terror. Every evening, as soon as the
sun set, great flocks of cranes rose slowly, in regular and
majestic spirals to a great height, as if to catch a last glimpse
of the sun, whose ritys sometimes glanced on their whitish
wings, and met our eyes as we watched them. They soon
came down again in the same order and as silently to the
places they had just left. This spectacle occurred almost
daily when the sky was clear, and lasted more than half an
hour. In this lovely solitude we passed our first winter. I
bjuilt a spacions, comfortable cabin at the foot of one of the
largest oaks I ever saw; and in this my two daughters gave
birth to the two grandsons whom you see here with me. In
memory of their birthplace I gave them the names of Paco-
let and Nawassa, the streams at whose confluence I had built
my cabin."
The New England investigator says: ^* This was near the
Broad river, a few miles south of North Carolina; for the
topography of St. John is confirmed by his contemporary,
Dr. Morse. The second winter he was near the headwaters
of the Tadkin river; the third near those of the river Dan,
not far from a mountain called Ararat In that region were
182 so. CA. HISTOKICAL AND QBNBALOQIOAL MAQAZINK.
the Carolina Moravians at Wachovia, whose chief town,
Salem, corresponding to Bethlehem in Pennsylvania, is still
inhabited by these pious people. The old Noah of this
modern Ararat went on to say: * During the four years of
my pilgrimiige I think I must have traversed 600 miles,
without any of my household being ill a single day, so salu-
brious are our mountains. It was time, however, for peace
to be made, and our endurance, our courage and our clothes
were getting worn out. Finally, in May, 1782, 1 returned
to my plantation on the Saluda, which two old servants had
not been able to protiect from pillage. Great was their joy
to see us come back in good health, and with an increase of
the family of seven children, two white and five black, to-
gether with 54 young cattle.*"
What our Northern friend wants to know is "if the
annuity of South Carolina contain any record of this patri-
archal wandering of Mr. Bull and his heifers and mares."
He says : " Doubtless St. John found it in print somewhere,
and translated it, along with his accounts of Hell Gate and
Tale College into his colloquial French."
If you, Mr. Editor, or any of the members of the South
Carolina Historical Society, or any representatives of the
Bull family in South Carolina, know anything of this inter-
esting woodsman of Revolutionary times, it would be well
to give it to the public.
For my part, I am inclined to think it, if you will pardon
the phrase, "a cock and Bull story."
Cr^vecoeur was as reckless of facts as wns liis countryman
the Abb6 Haynal who, unable to account for rice culture in
South Carolina, had a vessel wrecked on our coast and thus
scattered the first seed of what afterward became a most
important crop.
In an earlier book Cr&vecoeur, if my menmry is not at
fault, told of seeing a negro in Charleston tortured in an iron
cage, a little aneedote that was once a favorite tid bit with
the most violent of the anti-slavery agitators. .

Major Robert Anderson and Fort Sumter. — The origi-
nal of the following letter, written by Major Robert Ander-
son while commanding Fort Sumter in 1861,18 in possession
of Mr. Thomas R. Proctor, of Utica, New York, who has
very kindly furnished a copy thereof for publication here:
Fort Sumter, S. C, Feb. 19, 1861. *
B. D. Silliman, Esq.,
Wall St.,
N. York.
My dear Sir:
Accept my thanks for your kindness in attending to the
troublesome commission I gave you, and also for the handsome com-
pliment you were pleased to pay me in your note of the 13th inst.
I have had no intimation of an intention to reinforce my command.
The present able Sec'y. of War notified me, as soon as he took charge
of the Dept., that additional troops should be sent, the moment I in-
timated that I wished them, or as soon as the S. Carolinians should
make an attack. I have not asked for them, because I know that an
attack will be made, as soon i^ they hear that I have asked for rein-
forcements, and I am unwilling to bring on a Civil War, if I can pos-
sibly avoid it. The longer the matter is deferred, the better the chance
of having matters decided without a recourse to arms. Our Union
cannot be sustained by force.
I thank you for^our kind offer, made to my wife, through my sweet
little friend, and also for your offer to me.
We are anxiously waiting now, for the inauguration of, and nomi-
nation of the Cabinet by, the President elect. Everything depends on
his selecting discreet, wise men. We have had enough of third class
men, broken down politicians, as Heads of Depts. at Washington.
The inner wheels of our Political Clock must be of the finest metal,
and they must be true, or it will run down.
Everything is pretty quiet around us. The S. C. are at work on
their batteries, and we are getting ready to do all the harm we can
should they venture to attack us.
That God will spare our country, and save us from the horrors of a
civil strife, is my earnest prayer.
I am
My dear Sir,
Yours very Sincerely,
Robert Anderson.

Thb Date of Arrival of the Landoravb Smith Family.
•^Among the settlers who came in the Carolina^ one of the
three vessels that brought the first colony for South Caro-
lina, in 1669-70, and assisted in founding Albemarle Point,
sobseqaently named Charles Town, were Thomas and Paul
Smitl;!. Many writers have asserted, without furnisbingany
proof, that the first of these was the same Thomas Smith
who subsequently became a Landgrave and was sometime
Governor of the Province. The late General McCrady, in
his first volume (foot note page 121), disputes that claim and
gives the date of the arrival of Thomas Smith, afterwards
Landgrave, as 1687. The editor of this magazine once
asked General McCrady for bis authority for that date, and
was told by the General that he had seen a Bible that bore
every evidence of being a Bible of original record entry,
and that therein he saw it stated that Landgrave Spaith hud
been born in Madagascar ^nd had come to South Carolina
in 1687. The South- Carolina Gazette of Thursday, May 11,
1788, mentions the death of the second Landgrave Thomas
Smith on the Tuesday before, stating that he was in his 75tt).
year, and had been fifty-four years in the Province. That
would have put the date of his arrival at 1684. The Editor
has always believed that that was the correct date of the ar-
rival of the Landgrave Smith family in South Carolina, and
he also believes that General McCrady either mistook an
old fashioned 4 for a 7 or that his printer mistook his 4 for
a 7. The following record which he has discovered in the
warrant book of the Province for the years 1672-1692 (page
307) fully confirms his opinion as to the date of the arrival
of thid distinguished family:
You are forthwith to Cause to bee admeasured and laid out unto M''

My dear father.
Ihad the pleasure ot* writin*^ to you, soon after ray arrival
at Camp — and have been since anxiously expectiiit^ farther
intelligence from Georgia — If it be true that Spain is at
length 80 enlightened on her own interests as to espouse
those of America — I am inclined to think that feeble state
will 8pe<idily be delivered from its present invaders — Such
an event or the adoption of my black project alone can save
her — if the first be a delusive report — I wish to know whether
you think that the force of example, Argument, and above
all that ot impending Calamity will determine our Country-
men— to embrace the Salutary measure which T propose — if
yon think my dear father that the chances are for us — we
cannot too soon execute our parts — you will have the glory
of triumphing over deep rooted national ]>rejudices, in favor
of your Country and humanity at large — the former may
perhaps have reason to call you her deliverer — The sacrifice
you make, will be effaced by the most delicious and enviable
feelingf
138 so. CA. HISTORICAL AND OENEALOGIOAL MAGAZINE.
For my part it will be my duty and my pride, to trans-
form the timid Slave into a firm defender of Liberty and
render him worthy to enjoy it himself —
The respect and attachment which I have for the General —
the friendship which I have for my Oollejigiies — will make
even a temporary separation from them, a subject of ^reat
regret — and nothing could determine me to do it but a cer-
tain prospect of being more extensively useful — The General
has been as polite as to say that he will be sorry to lose me
even for a time — but that he will not object to my going —
The nature of my profession separates me from my dearest
friend — and it is natural for me not to quit an agreeable
military' situation — without eonie assurance of rendering
greater services elsewhere —
But I must finish — I entreat that I may hear from my dear
Father as soon as possible — and am ever his most aftec-
tionate

My dear father.
You will have perceived by my last, that granting the
probability of obtaining an act for raising black troops in
South Carolina — no time in my opinion was to be lost in
applying for it, under the sanction of a Recommendation
from Congress —
When I reflect that the present season in that country
aflbrds very good fighting weather — that much time will be
required for the Journey — that some delays may arise in
our Council and Assembly, from the opposition of private
interest — that collecting the Levies, at a general rendez-
vous— from remote parts — and exchanging the unfit for
service that will be sent in the first instance — that trails-
forming them into soldiers & providing them with Arms
LAURENS CORRESPONDENCE. 189
Appointments &ca are all works of time — T must confess I
am anxious — for if I am engaged in a plan of this kind ray
reputation is at stake — And a regard to that, would induce
me to spend as much time as possible in disciplining and
instructing my soldiers before I introduced them to the
enemy — while a desire to render, service on the other hand
would make me soUicitous to bring them into the field in
the active part of the Campaign —
As a Soldier, as a Citizen, as a Man — I am interested to
engage in this work — and I would chearfully sacrifice the
largest portion of my future expectations to its success —
I believe I have in this & former letters — nearly said all
that can be offered by me on this subject — at present —
Your counsel will be necessary to remove many difliculties —
and digest a plan to be laid before the Legislature of South
Carolina — My letters will prove to you that this subject
occupies my thoughts very much —
I embrace you with all my heart — and am ever my dear
fathers most affectionate

My dear Son.
I had the pleasure of writing to you the day before yes-
terday by Messenger l>urst. last evening the packet whicli
will accompany this came to me under cover from Col*.
Hamilton, he says it contains two Letters from your M".
Jiaurens which puts me in mind to forward that which I
140 so. CA. HI8T0BI0AL AKD OBNEALOOIGAL XAOAZIKE.
told you had been illicitly opened. You will also receive
two Letters directed to M' J. Walton, one to M'. E. Telfair
k one to Count Pulaski which T recommend to the protec-
tion of M^ Gervais or yourself.
The Marquis Britaigne who v.ill be the bearer of thie is
anxious that I should recoroemend him to Governor Rut-
ledge. That will be done Marquis, in pursuance ot an Act
of Congress by the President — Ahl but I am not acquainted
with M' Jay.
I then promised him to write to M'. Gervais & to you, al-
though he is personally acquainted with both, which gave
him satisfaction; certainly if I were in Charles Town & the
Marquis there too, T would shew him every mark of civility
i\: attention, & T am persuaded my friends will answer
for me.
This Gentleman's zeal in our cause must have cost him
several Thousands of Louis d'ors, besides much personal
suffering; he has been waiting upon Congress almost a whole
Year in humble dependence, free from that inquietude which
from almost all his Countrymen we have been witnesses of,
\' yet, there has been great stumbling at a proposition for
allowing him 5000. Paper equal to about 400. Silver Dollars,
nor did we surmount the difficulty in one step — first 8000.
then 2000 — carefully adding "he to be accountable.'' we
swallow Camels k strain at gnats.
Our friend Baron Stiiben had intimated expectations of
I>retty large pecuniary compensation, for his expences com-
ing to & in America over \' above the pay of Major General,
and also for his own expences & those of M^ Fleury, M'.
L'enfant k M'. Duponceau, a Report was thereupon intro-
duced from the Board of War, the whole seemed to me, to
be incongruous with his propositions at his arrival in York
Town, I was therefore induced to call tor certain documents
& papers relative to the subject in order to enlighten such
of our Members as would otherwise have been ignorant, but
I made no opposition to the Report, some busy Body must
have taken an advantage ot my conduct & misrepresented
LAURENS CORRESPONDENCE. 141
me to the Baron, otherwise the following dialogue three
days ago when he dined with me could never have hap-
pened.
What is the reason M'. Laurens that (/ongress will not
allow me ray expenees, I told them I was not Rich & I am
sure the Committee at York Town promised me.
Why Baron I cannot answer for the conduct of Congress,
for my own part I would recommend to you not to press
that subject at the present moment, every Member of Con-
gress is sensible of your merit & deserving, I cannot just
now so fully assign reasons, as I may at a future time, but
if I were to advise, you would delay your demands until our
aftairs shall be a little better arranged.
ffjf^ his declarations to me at York Town were that
he would expect nothing till the end of The War his
running expenees excepted — Congress gave him two
or four Horses & a Commission of Major General, paid
all his Expenees at & travelling from Boston at York
Town &c —
Well replied the Baron, for myself I will take your advice
I will ask nothing yet — I will go to the Army & proceed in
my duty — but why w-ill they not do something for Fleury
k the other young Gentlemen who have assisted me in m}'
work ?
Congress Sir, will undoubtedly do everything that is just
k reasonable, there's no Man who has a greater esteem k
att'eetion for Col*. Fleury than I have, but let us consider a

But my dear M^ Laurens, M'. President he cannot live
by his appointment, k he must go home if you do not do
somethiiiiT for him.

state of our finances — if the case be so, that CoK Fleury

for him & that Congress eaunot do any thing more for
him, the consequence will be that he must go home, I shall
be very sorry for it. —
The Baron, in no small shew of Choler k rage, although
in presence of 4 or 5 other guests, answered, Then, I shall
go home, I will not stay.
O Baron Baron, you had just determined the contrary,
excuse me for saying, this is really taking advantage of my
candor, you will make me more cautious hereafter if you
persist in these sentiments — what else could I have said,
speaking as an honest Man, if CoK Fleury cannot continue
with us upon his present appointments & Congress will not
because they cannot, with propriety, enlarge them — & he
himself points out the alternative, what else could I have
said, but I hope Baron you will not make me answerable
for all the determinations of Congress, when I am there,
I am an individual & speak my sentiments or give my voice
without fear prejudice or partiality. I pray you Baron think
better of this matter. We went to dinner, the Baron looked
grave, I made attempts to raise him, he retired earlier than
usual & if 1 do not raistate with a consciousness of a little
transgression. The Doanites are incessant in their endeavors
to raise a dis-esteem for me in the minds of foreigners, but
they make no more impression upon mine than they would
upon adamant with a (loo^e quill. I will endeavor to do
right, if I do not g.iin their applause, I shall nevertheless
etijoy an assurance of having deserved it — to be an honest
Statesman produces a Man some troubles, but not so many
I believe as attends a dissembling knavish one, therefore
I'll pursue the old track. I could recite another conversa-
tion with a greater Man than Baron Stuben which would
more than equally astonish you, but, it wont do, kl think the
irregular measures which are adopted are arguments, prov-
ing, why it ought not.
When Baron Stuben first addressed Congress he produced
a Letter from M^ Deane announcing him Lieutenant General
& Quarter Master General in the King of Prussians Army,
LAURENS C0RBE8P0NDBNCB. 148
•
hence T was led to give him the Title of Excellency, in my
early correspondence; sometime after he went to Camp at
Valley forge I was well informed that he had never advanced
near the Rank of Lieutenant General, the Baron did not
say to me that he had, but he did not disown it. M'. Deane
intimated that at some former time he had seen his Com-
missions, but that when he was about to leave Paris in order
to embark for America he was not possessed of them, hav-
ing left them in Germany, & this moment it strikes me,
that the Baron might have misconstrued & misapplied my
question. How long must CoP. Fleury have served ?&c — but
upon my honor I had no design to touch him nor, as I have
said above, did I ever think of the subject in this light until
the present Instant, however if he has committed himself
it is not my fault, if he felt any thing like an attack it was
from within his own Breast, neither duty nor inclination
could possibly have misled me to upbraid a Man with whom
I wished to have continued in friendship, but the times
are distempered & the Devils of avarice & ambition are in-
defatigably improving them to their own advantage.

such respecting Military operations in & about Charles Town
have I seen, recollect if you can, its date & by whom you
transmitted it. & I will endeavor to discover the defaulter
or the delinquent.
Dunlap's Paper of this Morning does not inform us as I had
expected it would, of the operations of the American Duke
d'Alva, late Governor Tryon in Connecticut, he landed at
New Haven burnt part & probably the whole of that Town
penetrated to & burnt all Fairfield said to be one of the
prettiest Towns in America, the Militia assembled, at-
tacked him <fe he fled to his Ships — this is a general sketch
warranted by Rivington of the 10* Inst, with this difference,
he says re-embarked. I wish the title of d'Alva may be so
fixed on Tryon as to be transmitted to posterity & his mem-
ory held in everlasting contempt.
Yesterday we received in Congress dispatches from the
Honorable Arthur Lee Esq' — containing as complete a vin-
dication, of his own & his Brother William's conduct, as I
have ever seen in any case, every charge of Deane's 5"*.

a worse figure will this bad servant make before his fellow
Citizens to whom he appealed, when his narrative of 139

have hitherto been his supporters, appeared to be unhappy
while the Papers were reading, tell my friends they will
find, that my resignation on the 9"*. December was, as I then
said to them, the greatest act of my Life. "
I have heard nothinor lately from head Quarters — the very
plentiful harvest, which we have now secured, leads to ani-
mation, we are talking of an immediate array of ten or
twelve Thousand good Militia, these to join the Commander
in Chief k to attack New York; a motion made by M'.
Dickinson seconded by M' Drayton that Congress should

join the Array & act en Militaire — this shews more of valour
in those Gentlemen than of the wisdom & reflection of grave
Senators, but who can restrain the ardor of fighting Men
when an opportunity offers? the Motion is on the Table for
consideration when it can be taken up consistently with
Order.
If I may judge of the state of your Carolina air, from the
Philadelphia Thermometer you have hitherto had very tol-
erable weather, I was just now obliged to throw off a lined-
silk, & to cover my body with a Cloth flannel-lined, wast-
coat, & I took a little Cold last night by lying under only a
thick Cotton coverlid, we have not experienced one intol-
erable day the present Summer.
I say nothing of my private affairs I know you will aid M'.

My Dear Friend.
I had the pleasure of writing to you the 17***. Inst by Mes-

Town. I feel a little anxiety to know whether & when
you mean to return to Your General & lest we should miss
each other on the Road, an accident, which, if it should
happen, would mortify us exceedingly, but I have not
marked a day for my departure, I shall quit this great
House the 12'^. August because I cannot afford the Rent, & go
for three or four Weeks into cheaper Quarters, my Landlady
who is as keen an Abigail as any I know, has outwitted
herself, she wanted to raise the Rent upon me & by a mis-
calculation I suppose, has let it to my Neighbor Mitchel
tor 6 or 7 hundred pounds per Annum less than I paid — &
he has made a firm contract with a penalty annexed.
Your friend Doctor M^.IIenry is in Town on his return
from escorting M". Washington to Virginia, he will dine
with me to day & we'll drink your health. I have heard
nothing from Head Quarters for a long time but I purpose
to write to your General by the Doctor, I would give some-

certain very interesting & important points. I believe I shall
pay him a Visit before I leave this Country.

the contrary the prizes which those Frigates carry in, work
a prejudice to the Citizens of that Town by encouraging
monopolizers & extortioners k by stripping the Port of Sea-
men who would otherwise be more usefully employed in the
service of [word obliterated] Merchant Ships & private Ships
of War — this doctrine strange as it may appear to Men of
no more than common understanding, is proved & illustra-
ted by the extreme reluctance with which Gentlemen repre-
senting Massachusetts & Boston consent to part with them
only for a few Months in favor of a much distressed Sister
State, but when some Men talk of defending So Carolina &
of the necessary measures for recovering Georgia, methinks
I hear blind Men describing Colours, or Misers haranging
on liberality.
Has not So Carolina contributed her quota to the raising a
Xav)'? Has she not a rightful claim to some of the benefits
which may be derived from that Navy? Oh I but So Caro-
lina is defended by taking the enemy's privateers from New
York, & if you send our Frigates to So Carolina the Enemy
will soon know it, way lay & capture them — do not the
Enemy as well know when those Frigates sail from Boston
on a Cruize for prizes? is it not as practicable for British
Men of War from Hallifax, Rhode Tshmd & New York to
way lay them coming out of, \' returning to, the Bay of
Boston a<? going to Carolina or cruizing from thence? Did
not they know of the ill concerted enterprize to Penobscot?
Had I prevailed by my repeated recommendations more
than twelve Months since, to send three Frigates to Cruize

four British Frigates to our American fleet kc &c.

which you complain of, is very illy fitted to the Count's spirit

Congress have authorized General Washington to Co-operate

to be a foreign Minister would be degrading; by sending
one from sovereignty into servitude — you can't suppose I
could hear such sentiments & forbear laugliing inwardly —
finding me to be clear in his opinion that on the present
occasion we ought not to appoint a Member he earnestly
requested me to think of a proper Character out of doors
after some hours reflection I named to him M'. John Adams
as a Gentleman in every respect well qualified, against whom
there could be no exception & to whom these States were
much indebted — there rested the matter, until the proposed
Resolution & its proposed amendment were ousted by Yeas
& Nays — when the Ballots were about to be taken, my Col-
league declared for M^ Jay, I expostulated with him on
what had passed between us; observed, that among other
motives, I had nominated M^ Adams on his own principles
& candidl}' & honestly declared to him such exceptions
against M Jay as neither himself nor any Man could re-
move, he nevertheless persisted & South Carolina was de-
prived of a Vote, I explained to Congress in terms nearly
as above written the ground of our division as an apology
for my own conduct.

it understood that I mean to censure M"" Mathews, we are

prisonment in the Tower of London {Collections of the South-
Carolina Historical Societf/, Vol. I, pp. 18 and 20) Henry Lau-
rens speaks of ''a trunk of papers, chiefly waste", which he
had had put upon hoard the Mercury, in which he sailed,
''intending to garble the whole at sea, and preserve the few
which" he "should think worth saving." He further says
that when tte flag of the Mercury was hauled down to the
British frigate that these papers were put in a bag and
thrown overboard, but that the bag was hooked up by the
British and that later for arranging the papers ** the British
Ministry gave Mr. Galloway, according to report, £500 ster-

and letter them in 18 folio volumes, and afterwards returned

the whole to Mr. Laurens again." The following interesting
reference to those papers, which are now in the Laurens
Collection of the South Carolina Historical Society, was
puhlished in The JSouth-CaroUna and Aniericaii General Gazette
(Pro-British) of Saturday, December 23, 1780:
"A correspondent observes, 'There can be no doubt but
the papers found with Mr. Laurens, and most probably his
own examination, will give the ministry such knowledge of
his correspondents in South-Carolina as may be productive
of very important orders, with regard to the admission or
nonadmission as subjects, of all such persons on parole as
have hitherto hesitated, whether they shall wait any longer
for an opportunity to fight or betray us, or assume the ap-
pearance of loyalty of British subjects.' "

The Death of General Maxcy Gregg. — The following
contemporary newspaper items fix the time of General
Maxcy Gregg's death, which is erroneously given in several
published sketches of him, and show tlie full text of his
heroic telegram to Governor Pickens, a portion of which is
quoted on the tombstone over his grave. Judge Haskeirs
recollection ot the facts verities the telegrram to which his
name is signed, but Major Harry Hammond claims that the
teleojram sent l)v General Grescff to Governor Pickens was
CD V OO
dictated to him (Hammond) and that, according to his recol-
lection of it, it' was different from that which appears in
The Charleston Mercury:
'The Remains of Gen. Gregg arrived in Richmond on Monday
evening, by the 9 o'clock train, and were immediately sent to Colum-
bia. Governor Pickens sent to the House of Representatives on
Tuesday mommg, before which body it was read, the following tele-
gram received on Monday night, the 15th, from Gen. Gregg himself.

Thomas Riley McGahan, a member of the South Caro-
lina Historical Society, died at his resideoce, ISo. 21 King
Street, in the city of Charleston on Tuesday afternoon, Sep-
tember 26, 1905, at 3.45 o'clock. He was born in Madison,
Georgia, April 19, 1825, his parents being James McGahan
and Eleanor Riley McGahan, both of whom came to this
country' from Ireland. He received his education in the
schools of Madison, which at that time was one of the most
flourishing towns in Middle Georgia. His father died in 1837
and young McGahan went to Fayette County, Georgia,
where he engaged in the mercantile business and remained
until 1849. In that year the "gold fever" struck the coun-
try and Mr. McGahan was one of the "forty-niners'' who
went to California in search of gold. He went to New Or-
leans, from there across the Isthmus of Panama, and thence
to San Francisco aboard a sailing vessel. He remained in
California for eighteen months, when his health failed and
he was advised to go East. He returned to his home in
(reorgia, w^here he slowly recovered from the strain to which
his system had been subjected while enduring countless hard-
ships in the rugged West. After staying a short while at
his home in Madison County he went to Atlanta and became
connected with a dry goods house. He remained in Atlanta
until February, 1858, when he came to Charleston and se-
cured employment with the clothing house of Samuel C.
Dunn k Co. He afterwards became connected with the
house of Rankin, Pulliam k Co. and remained with that
establishment until the owners decided to move to New York.
He then secured employment as a salesman with the firm of
Hyatt, McBurney & Company, and later became a member
NECROLOGY. 183
of the firm. He remained with this concern until the State's
Rights War broke out. He enlisted in the Calhoun Guards.
On account of ill-health he was forced to leave this command
and then became a blockade runner. He was oh the Cecille
when she sank and was on the Confederate cruiser i^or when
she ran into (xalveston in broad daylight through the Fed-
eral blockade.
After the war Mr. McGahan returned to Charleston and
became connected with tlie firm of Edwin Bates & Co. In
1884 the firm\s name was chani^ed to McGahan, Bates & Co.
Later the name was cliangcd to McGahan, Brown & Evans,
and later the name was ai^ain ehauij^ed to T. H. McGahan
iS: Co. In 1000 Mr. Mc(ialian sold out to the Johnson-
Crews Co.
At the time of his death Mr. McCtahan was the president
of the Exchange lianking and Trust (-ompany, a director
of the Hibernia Trust and Savings Bank, vice-president of
the Drake- rnness-<Trrecn ^Shoc Company and vice-president
of the Standard Hat Comoanv.
He had been Chairman of the B(»ard of Health for thirtv-
three years. He was an ox-i»resi(lent of the Hibernian So-
ciety, ex-president of the Cliamber of Commerce, in which
capacitv he served about twentv-three vears. At one time
he was a member of the Boartl of Harbor Commissioners.
He was one of the oriijrinators ot the Drainaire Commis-
sion movement and brought all ol his infiuence to bear in
<j:ettintr the bills tiirouirh the Lcirislature. lie was also as-
sociated with Dr. I^awrence, foumler of the Isle of Palms.
He is survived bv three children. Dr. Charles F. McGahan,
