EARLY SOUTH CAROLINA LAND GRANTS AND LAND SALES DOCUMENTS dated 1680-1772

Document 1:

Land grant from the Lords Proprietors of Carolina to Florentia [Florence] O’Sullivan (ca. 1620-after 1683), dated 6 July 1680. Vellum, 28 x 24 inches, originally, now with part of the plat missing. The ink has faded and much of the writing is illegible. Signed by Maurice Mathews who was surveyor general of Carolina from 1677-1684.

“John Lord Berkley Pallatine and the rest of the Lords, and Absolute Proprietors of the Province of Carolina Doe hereby Grant unto Florentia O’Sullivan Gent: a Plantation containing Two Thousand Three hundred and Forty acres of land English measure, now in the Possession of the said Florentia O’Sullivan Sittuate and being upon the northeast side of the Ashley River and Butting and bounding as appears on a Platt thereof hereunto annexed...”

Captain O’Sullivan arrived in Carolina in March 1670 aboard the Carolina, one of three vessels that were in the expedition, after a forced stop in Bermuda. Once in Carolina, O’Sullivan played a prominent role in the early development of the province. He served briefly as the surveyor general of Carolina and was also a member of the Council. A controversial character, he was nonetheless, one of the founders of the colony. The land granted to him in 1680, which by tradition included a large swath of property on the northeast shore of the Ashley River, included much of the present Mount Pleasant and Sullivan’s Island, which bears his name.

Document 2:

Deed of Sale. Mark Mathew to Jonas Eaton, 140 acres of land in Colleton County. 4 November 1713. Vellum, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. Folded. This property was part of a land grant dated 29 March 1700 to Mathew of 500 acres in Colleton County. Signed by three witnesses, one of whom was John Whitmarsh. Also signed 6 April 1733 by the Deputy Auditor of South Carolina, James St. John, who also served as surveyor general from March 1731-1743.

Document 3 and 4:

Lease, and Release by William Holmes, Mariner of Charles Town, and his wife Ann of 250 acres of land to Thomas Woodin, Weigher & Gauger of His Majesty’s Customs, of Charles Town. Two partially printed documents, one dated 14 August 1772, and the second dated the following day. 17 x 22 inches each.

Provost of Charlestown College, and Rector of St. Phillips Church Charlestown...into the office of Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the said State.” The four bishops signed the document and affixed their seals.

OTHER DOCUMENTS:

Partially printed Certificate of membership in the St. George Society of Charlestown, South Carolina, for The Revd. Robt. Smith 25 March 1761. Signed by the president Wm. Burrows and the clerk Chas. Atkins.

Deed of Marriage Settlement. Robert Smith (1786-1847) to J. J. Pringle Smith and Wm. Mason Smith, Trustees. An agreement concerning the property owned by Robert Smith and his wife Elizabeth Pringle (1791-1873), the daughter of John Julius Pringle (1753-1843), and his wife Susannah Reid Pringle (1768-1831). Signed by Robert Smith, J. J. Pringle Smith, and Wm. Mason Smith. Dated 27 March 1844.

Deed of gift. Robert Smith “gave to his wife Elizabeth P. Smith his house and lot in Meeting Street purchased from the estate of the late Mrs. Susan P. Smith with all the furniture in consideration of its having been purchased by me with monies bequeathed to her by her sister said Mrs. Susan P. Smith and father J. J. Pringle.” Undated, but probably March 1844.

Report of the Committee appointed to Consider the Memorial and Petition of the Vestry and Church Wardens of the parish of St. Phillip Charlestown. Legislative report, 8 March and 8 April1767. Partially printed Summary Process in the case of the Right Reverend Robert Smith v. Exor. of Robt Ladson. Signed by Jacob Drayton. 14 August 1797.

LETTERS:

John Julius Pringle (1753-1843), Philadelphia, 24 March 1770 to his father Robert Pringle, Charles Town, South Carolina. Written while Pringle was in school, the letter described how young Pringle spent his time. “I constantly go in the evening to French school, and I am very desirous of speaking it,” he wrote. “The Smiths & the rest of the Carolina Boys are under the care of Mr. Wm. West a Merchant of this City; except little Archar Johnson who is under Mr. Surnans, also a merchant. Thos. Farrow, Jun. Clerk of the Commons House of Assembly, 17 February 1775 to Reverend Mr. Robert Smith conveying the “Thanks of this House...for the excellent Sermon delivered by him this day, and that Mr. Speaker do request of Mr. Smith to have the same printed and made public.”

Rawlins Lowndes, Chas. Town, 18 February 1775 to The Revd. Mr. Smith enclosing the Resolution of the Commons House of Assembly in regard to the sermon preached. “The address Sir, with which you complied with this request of the people; and the Suitable manner in which you Acquitted your self, carry the strongest evidence that, no illiberal narrow principals influenced your conduct, but on the contrary that you are Actuated by a truly benevolent heart, and a real love for mankind; the good and welfare of whom, is the ultimate end of all Instructions religious as well as Civil. Signed Raws. Lowndes. The sermon referred to in the two previous letters is one of the most important that Smith ever delivered, given the state of South Carolina’s efforts to win some degree of autonomy from Great Britain. Sometime referred to as Smith’s “Humiliation Sermon,” the message resonated with listeners who approved of Smith’s subtle references to self-government.

Anna Tilghman Smith (1753-1792), Charleston, 13 May 1790 to Edward Tilghman, Philadelphia. Anna wrote to her brother about family, especially her children. “Our Dear Boys are I hope out of danger with the small pox,” she wrote. Her husband was at his plantation “for a few days.”

Francis Dana Channing (1775-1810), Cambridge, [Massachusetts], 11 July 1799 to Robert [Smith] (1786-1847). A letter filled with advice to a young student. “As you advance in study I hope learning

appears more pleasant & wears more attractive charms. Remember knowledge is as necessary to true happiness as to true glory. Without it, we can never hope for eminence in life.” Channing graduated from Harvard with an A. B. degree in 1797. After that he became a lawyer.

Robert Smith (1732-1801), Charleston, 26 June 1801 to Robert Smith (1786-1847), [Cambridge, Massachusetts]. Robert annotated the letter as “First letter to me at Cambridge.” In writing about his son’s departure from home to go off to Harvard College, Robert Smith confessed “My heart was too full when you left us, for me to say half of what I had to say-it was a moment of great distress.”

Robert Smith (1732-1801), Charleston, 6 October 1801 to Robert Smith (1786-1847). Annotated by the son “Last letter to me at Cambridge before his death.” The father wanted to “know what plan of life you have devoted your thoughts to; not that what you have now thought on, is to be absolute, if hereafter you should allow your mind, after cool deliberation in your own breast, & consulting & advising with your friends, but would you wish, that whatever you determine on, planting should accompany it, & that my Lands & Negroes should continue a part of my Estate-if not, write your wishes freely, as they will determine my selling all off.”

Robert Smith (1732-1801), [Charleston], to Robert Smith (1786-1847). Undated extract “by direction of my Father & left as a rule.” Undated but probably written circa 1801 when young Robert left for Harvard. Advice for a successful life.

Elizabeth Pringle Smith (1791-1873), Charleston, 26 January 1811 to William Mason Smith (17881838), care of, John Tunno, London. William’s sister-in-law, the wife of Robert Smith, wrote with family news while William was away from home. “My better half although as thin as ever enjoys a tolerable share of health. I am trying to persuade him a little London air, Cheese, & Porter would be of great service to him...”

Elizabeth Beekman (1744-1815), [Charleston], [ca. 1811], to William M. Smith, care of John Tunno, London. Mrs. Beekman was a friend of the family and was especially fond of William. “Your brother [Robert] has just entered here, with his child in his arms, to visit me, believe me my d[ea]r Wm. He is a lovely Boy, and has your features much more than any one of the family...”

Ann Smith, Wells, England, 21 December 1816, to William Smith, Charleston, South Carolina. Ann Smith, William’s cousin, conveyed news of William’s aunt, Sarah Motte Smith (1777-1852), who had married John Rutledge II (1766-1819) but was estranged from him and living in England. “Doubtless you think it most strange my never having answered your last letter..., but in truth, I knew not how, or what to write, for Mrs. Rutledges manner to me (evidently to every body), altered immediately upon the receipt of it. I of course read her only part, and whether she suspected there was any thing passing between us respecting her, I know not...”

John Webber, Wells, England, 15 September 1817, to William Mason Smith, Charleston, South Carolina. Although primarily a letter related to business, Webber also mentioned William’s aunt, Sarah Rutledge. “We have heard thro’ the channel of the Penmans’ that Mrs. Rutledge is again come to England, having arrived at Liverpool sometime ago; but we at present have heard nothing from her, whenever we do Mrs. Webber will certainly endeavour as far as she is able, to render her every assistance, consistent with her situation in life.”

OTHER DOCUMENTS IN THE COLLECTION: A newspaper clipping about the Harvard College commencement in August 1805 listed Robert Smith as one of the graduates.

Two drawings are renderings of monuments intended for a cemetery or church. One other manuscript related to tombstone inscriptions and another was a poem in memory of Anna Tilghman Smith, the daughter of Robert and Elizabeth Smith who died 30 May 1840.

The late nineteenth material includes a small number of financial records of family members. (34dcs) $1,000-2,000

Other Notes: Robert Smith (1732-1801) was born in Worstead, Norfolk, England, educated at Gonville and Cainus College in Cambridge, received his B.A. degree in 1753, and was ordained as a deacon in the Church of England on 7 March 1756; later the same year, on 21 December, as a priest. Smith emigrated to South Carolina in 1757 and was installed assistant minister of St. Philip’s Church in Charleston, an association that continued until his death. Smith married Elizabeth Pagett (1742-1771) in July 1758, and she died in 1771 without leaving any children. Three years later, Smith married Sarah Shubrick (1759-1779), and she had one daughter, Sarah Motte Smith (1777-1852). After the death of his second wife, Smith married about 1780, Anna Maria Tilghman (1753-1792), the widow of Charles Goldsborough (1740-1769) of Maryland. Four children were born of that marriage, with two sons, Robert Smith (1786-1847) and William Mason Smith (1788-1838), surviving into adulthood and having families of their own. Two daughters, Elizabeth, and Anna Tilghman, died as young children.

KING GEORGE III APPOINTMENT OF THOMAS IRVING RECEIVER FOR THE PROVINCE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

dated: 1 February 1774, London, Manuscript Vellum Document Signed by George R and by North, Onslow, and Townsend Commission issued to Thomas Irving, Esquire (c1738-1800), as Receiver General of Revenues for the Province of South Carolina, by which the commission dated 9 February 1741 and issued to George Saxby was revoked. Irving was authorized to collect all “Quit Rents, Rents, Revenues, fines and forfeitures, sum or sums of money whereof he is appointed our Receiver General” and “to the end the said Thomas Irving may be encouraged diligently to attend the said office... and to execute the same with care and fidelity.... we are graciously pleased to grant and allow unto him the sum of Ten Pounds Per Cent accordingly....” The commission was recorded in the office of “Auditor General of the American Revenues” on 4 March 1774. On 26 July 1774, the commission was recorded in the “Office of the Clerk of the Council of South Carolina,” by James Simpson, Clerk of the Council. The original royal seal is now attached to the document with a straight pin. One page, vellum, W23 1/2” L19”

Provenance: Dr. & Mrs. C.G. Hopper, Jr. Collection

Other Notes: George III (1738-1820), King of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. Ruled from 1760 until his death. Thomas Irving (abt.1738-1800) was born about 1738, in Gribton, near Dumfries, Scotland, the son of William Irving and his wife Katherine Menzies Irving. Irving came to America in 1767 as an appointed crown official, the Inspector General of Imports and Exports for the Port of Boston. After a few years in that position, he was commissioned the Receiver General of Revenues for South Carolina and settled in Charles Town as the South Carolinians were increasingly resistant to British control. Although Irving held title to his office throughout the American Revolution, he was forced give up his duties by the end of 1775. Irving remained loyal to the crown, even under the very trying circumstances that he described in a memorable he presented to The Lords Commissioners of His Majesty Treasury on 2 August 1779 in his effort to win compensation for the loss of income and hardships he suffered during the American Revolution. His petitions and correspondence are part of the American Loyalists Claims. He explained that “after residing sometime in that Province, falling into a low state of Health, the sea air was prescribed for recovery.” He sailed to New Providence in the Bahama Islands in the early spring of 1776 and had the misfortune “to fall in with the Rebel Squadron under the command of [Commodore] Hopkins...[and] was by him taken and carried a close prisoner to New England, there detained...near twelve months, and then sent a prisoner of war by land along the Continent, a journey of upwards of Eleven hundred miles to South Carolina. That after being detained...for some months, he was ordered by the rebel Government of that Province to embark [for] a port of Europe....” Esek Hopkins (1718-1802) led a fleet of eight vessels of the Continental navy to the Bahama Islands and arrived off Great Abaco Island on 1 March 1776, raided the two British forts on Nassau, carried off the governor, the lieutenant governor, and Thomas Irving, along with military supplies including thirty-eight casks of gunpowder, and sailed for Rhode Island on 17 March. After an encounter with HMS Glasgow, a British frigate, off Long Island, Hopkins fleet arrived at New London, Connecticut on 8 April. Irving imprisonment and journey back to South Carolina had consumed most of 1776, but by spring of 1777, he was in Georgetown, South Carolina, ready to leave for Europe. He inserted an announcement, dated 2 April, in a Charlestown newspaper that “being obliged to leave this Country...” he wanted to settle any debts he owed immediately. Eventually, he did manage to transport himself and his family to London, where, in 1786, he was appointed Inspector General of Imports and Exports of Great Britain, a position he retained until his death in July 1800.

Charleston, South Carolina, dated July 4th, 1780, to Lieutenant Colonel [Sir Alured] Clarke (17441832) “commanding His Majesty’s forces in Georgia”; the document reads: Charles-town July 4th 1780

Dear Sir

I yesterday received the favour of your letter by Major Prevost, I likewise hear from him with great concern that the troops in Georgia are very sickly. I shew’d your letter and the papers relative to Pr[ivate] Houstoun [John Houstoun, 1744-1796] to Mr. Simpson who agrees entirely with me in [the] opinion that the detaining a prisoner-of-war on parole, to bring him to trial for treason at Savannah, is highly improper and unwarrantable. He will write his sentiments on that head to Sir James Wright [1730-1804, British Royal Governor of Georgia]. I likewise beg that you will inform His Excellency that I think Pr[ivate] Houston ought to be immediately sent back to Charlestown. I am informed that Lt. Col. Brown [1750-1825, Thomas “Burnfoot” Brown] is raising some Cavalry to be added to his Corps, if this is true I beg you will put an immediate stop to it. I send by this opportunity a duplicate of the letter I wrote by the Hydra.

I am Sir with great regard your most obed[ient] & Faithful Servant, Cornwallis

As we are now thoroughly masters of S[outh] Carolina and the militia of every district either is already arrang’d as is put in the way of being so, the frontier of Georgia towards Carolina must be in the most perfect security. I cannot therefore see the necessity of a post at Ebenezer [Georgia], or indeed at any sickly part of the Savannah River, it appears to me that the only necessary posts are Savannah and Augusta, and I trust you will not sacrifice the health of the troops to the groundless terrors of the inhabitants.

Butler reported on a visit by Mr. Lane by whom he had received Gerry’s “very acceptable letter.” However, he declined Gerry’s invitation to visit because “we are, as I mentioned in my last letter, in a great degree tied down to this place, by having expended a Considerable sum of money on the first Purchase and the Additions to the House, which will be the best I think in this state when finished.” He then mentioned the tie that had connected Gerry and Butler in friendship. Both men had served as delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia the previous year that had produced the nation’s Constitution and that was currently in the process of ratification by conventions in the various states. “Possibly you will have heard, before this reaches you, that So Carolina has agreed to the new Constitution. I was not of the Convention. I chose to decline serving. [T]omorrow is fix’d on as a day of great rejoicing in Charleston. If I should serve as a Member of the New Congress, I should rejoice, sincerely rejoice, to meet my friend Gerry on the floor. I think there is little doubt of the Constitution being adopted by nine States. It will I think open a new political scene in America when ever it takes place. I trust the change will be for the better, for surely our present political situation is bad enough. I may say despicable.” Butler then speculated on the first president under the Constitution. “I take it for granted that the Eyes of all are on General Washington as President. Pray who is thought of by the Eastern states for Vice-President? I could wish our state to be in Union with yours. What scrambling there will be for Judgeships &ca &ca. A private station is good enough for me. But in every vicissitude of life I shall always be in truth & sincerity My Dear Sir, Yr affectionate friend. P. Butler” The letter was docketed on the verso by Gerry: “So Carolina Letter Mary Ville Honble Pierce Butler...ansd 29th July 1788.

THOMAS

HEYWARD, JR. PARTIALLY PRINTED DOCUMENT SIGNED

dated: 1 July 1788, South Carolina

A summons, signed by Thomas Heyward Jr. as one of the justices of the Court of Common Pleas in Charleston, for William Moultrie to appear to answer a lawsuit for the recovery of “Three thousand three hundred & thirty six Pounds six shillings & four pence” lawful money of the state owed to the Richard Walter and John Dawson, Charleston merchants. The printed document instructs “the Sheriffs of the said State...to attach the body” of the defendant or, in other words, to arrest the person. On this document, “attach the Body” has been marked through, and the word “summon” substituted for the printed words. This was because “Willm. Moultrie otherwise called William Moultrie Brigadr. General in the United States of America he having Privileges of the General Assembly of the said State.” Moultrie, who had served his first term as governor from 1785-1787, was in 1788 a member of the General Assembly and thus was afforded the courtesy of a summons. The attorney representing the defendant was Alexander Moultrie (ca. 1750-1807), General Moultrie’s half-brother. He was at the time the attorney general for the state, a position he held from 1776 until 1792 when he was impeached and removed from office for the misuse of state funds. Both Alexander Moultrie and John Ward (17671816), the attorney representing Walter and Dawson, signed the document.

I shall have nearly fitted at Highwassee a light Barge that will sweep down with 10, or a dozen oars in as many days.” Hampton and Dr. Claude had previously talked about the doctor establishing his practice in South Carolina; however, Hampton reported, the “place of Doctr. Trent at Camden is supplied by two new comers, one of them it seems a clever young man. To the four at Columbia a fifth has been added of great

respectability. Doctr. Fisher, whom I have consulted upon the occasion, thinks the best chance would be at the high-hills of Santee, or at, or near Belleville on the opposite side of the river between that & Orangeburg.” He suggested that Dr. Claude visit South Carolina to reconnoiter “and decide according to circumstances. Should you not be entirely pleased, the way to the west is open & I shall be pleased with returning you safe to your friends, unless you can do a great deal better by remaining.”

JOHN D. KURTZ AUTOGRAPHE LETTER SIGNED Report on the Progress of the Work on Fort Sumter and Estimates for the Cost of Work on Forts Moultrie, Sumter, and Johnson for the Year ending 30 June 1852.

Charleston, S. C. 16 September 1850; 25 September 1850. To Capt: A. H. Bowman, Corps of Engineers. Lieutenant Kurtz reported that the “work at Ft: Sumter has progressed steadily” during Captain Bowman’s temporary absence from Charleston. “The course of brick work on the gorge being now completed through its length. The concreting is advanced to the middle of the North face.” Along with the progress made, Kurtz also described problems that he had encountered. “Walker’s Lighter starts this morning for bricks, having been unable sooner to obtain a crew. Johnson is sick with ‘broken bone fever.’ Mulvaney has not arrived, the two lighters, in consequence, are idle. The Ft. Sumter men are all at work again. Mr. Rabaski is still confined to the house.” In his second letter to Captain Bowman, Lieutenant Kurtz discussed the projected costs for work to be completed during the next fiscal year, which included “Fort Sumter, Dike to Drunken Dick, Breakwater[s] for Ft: Moultrie, [and] Ft: Johnson,” and repairs of quarters at Fort Johnson. As in his previous letter, Kurtz mentioned the status of work on Fort Sumter. “We are nearly out of cement. I have ordered a shipment. Two lighters are on duty. Walker is sick.”

Lieutenant John D. Kurtz graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1842 and was assigned to the corps of engineers as a second lieutenant. And sent to Charleston, South Carolina where he remained until 1852. He was then transferred to Washington, D. C. where he worked in the office of the Chief of Engineers. During the Civil War, he continued to work on engineering project and remained in the army until his death.

Captain Alexander Hamilton Bowman (1803-1865) had graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1825 and was assigned to the corps of engineers. After working for nine years on projects along the Gulf coast and two promotions, Captain Bowman was sent to South Carolina in 1838 to supervise military construction in and around Charleston harbor, a position he retained until 1851. For three years, March 1861-July 1864, Bowman was the superintendent of the United Sates Military Academy at West Point, replacing G. T. Beauregard who had been offered the position, but resigned from the United States army when Louisiana seceded from the Union. each one page, on blue paper, W8” L10” (2dcs)

TRUMAN SEYMOUR AND GEORGE W. SNYDER AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED

Report to Major Robert Anderson, Commanding Fort Sumter, Charleston Harbor, on the attack on the Schooner Rhoda H. Shannon dated: 3 April 1861, Fort Sumter, To Maj Robt. Anderson, 1st Arty, U. S. Army, Comdg. Fort Sumter, Charleston Harbor. “In obedience to your directions we visited Cummings Point and the Schooner bearing the U. S. flag, which was fired into by the batteries on Morris Island, and respectfully present the following statement concerning the affair.” Captain Seymour and Lieutenant Snyder interviewed the commanding officer on Morris Island, Lt. Col. W. G. DeSaussure, who explained the circumstances of the incident: “a schooner, with the U. S. flag at her peak, endeavored to enter the harbor this afternoon about 3 o’clock P. M.; that, in accordance with his order to prevent any vessel under that flag from entering the harbor, he had fired three shots across her bows, and, this not causing her to heave-to, he had fired at her, and had driven her out of the harbor; that he thought one or two shots had taken effect, and that, if he had a boat that could live to get out to her, he would send and see if she were disabled, and would inform Maj. Anderson at once, but that he had no proper boat, as the schooner was at anchor in a very rough place; that the Revenue Cutter had gone out to examine her condition.” The two officers also visited the schooner which was still anchored off Morris Island and questioned the master of the vessel, Joseph Marts (1829-1885), of Dorchester, New Jersey. Marts explained that he mistook the entrance to Charleston for Tybee Island, located off Savannah, Georgia, his destination, sailed across the bar, and “As he was passing Morris Island, displaying no flag, a shot was fired, from a battery on shore, across the bows of the schooner.” Captain Marts “thought they wished him to show his colors,” but when “he displayed the U. S. flag at his peak; one or two shots were then fired across the Schooner’s bows, but he did not know what to do....that he kept the vessel on her course until they fired at her, and one shot had gone through the mainsail, about two feet above the boom.” The two officers on their return to Fort Sumter “stopped at Cummings Point and stated the fact to Lt Col DeSaussure. He said that the vessel would not be molested if she came into the Harbor. The schooner weighed anchor, a short time after we left, and stood in toward Morris Island for some distance, but finally turned about and went to sea.” Docketed on verso and dated 6 April 1861. This episode was widely reported in both Northern and Southern newspapers in early April but was soon overshadowed by the events that quickly followed. Within ten days, Fort Sumter was under intense bombardment by some of the same batteries that had fired on Captain Marts and his schooner Rhoda H. Shannon. Marts, after he delivered his cargo of ice to Savannah, safely returned to New Jersey. Captain Truman Seymour, who had previously been in battle in both the Mexican-American War and the Third Seminole War in Florida (1855-1858), was again under fire in Fort Sumter when the bombardment of 12-14 April 1861 occurred. Seymour was promoted to the rank of brigadier general early in 1862 and was involved in the battles of Second Manassas, South Mountain, and Antietam before he was transferred to the Department of the South in November 1862. Once again in the Charleston area in 1863, he was in command of the Federal forces that launched the unsuccessful attack on Fort Wagner on 18 July 1863. Although captured by Confederate troops, he was exchanged and remained on active duty for the last years of the war. Lieutenant Snyder was promoted to captain after the fall of Fort Sumter, was present during the Manassas campaign in July, but fell ill during the summer of 1861 and died on 17 November in a Washington, D. C. hospital. Two and half pages, on woven-pattern paper, W8” L10”

To John L. Manning, Manassas Junction, Virginia. General Simons wrote to his long-time friend, John Laurence Manning (1816-1889), who had been South Carolina’s governor from 1852-1854, and at the time Simons wrote him was on the staff of General P. G. T. Beauregard, who commanded the Confederate army that he would lead to victory over the Federal forces at the first Battle of Manassas on 21 July 1861. General Simons wrote, “In the midst of the scenes by which you are surrounded, I would not trouble you except to aid me in rescuing my name & character from the obloquy & disgrace, unto which the calumny of dastardly enemies, would cast them.” He then explained that “I had my attention called by a friend to a paper called the Day Book (Norfolk) 15 July inst. Wherein was published an article professing to have been written in Charleston 11 July, in which the writer says, that the troops of Charleston were about to elect a Brigadier Genl., to succeed the present commander who has given notice of his resignation, that he would not be regretted as he had not distinguished himself for courage at the Bombardment of Fort Sumter, by a great deal, besides that in other respects he was very unpopular in Charleston.” Simons attributed the criticism to have arisen “from the unhappy selection by Major Whitney of the hospital for our temporary shelter, to write orders &c until we could get some other place suitable for an accommodation.” Major W. H. Whitney was the engineer attached to General Beauregard’s staff at the time. Simons continued: “Genl. Beauregard knows all the circumstances. I told him Whitney had led me into the error of errors..., but that I of course was responsible as the commander. He was very kind in his expression & very positive in assuring me that there was nothing in the matter but what was proper.” He then requested that Manning “ask Genl. Beauregard to bestow his friendship on me for my plain & honorable defense & justification.” If Beauregard responded to his request, he expected to publish his reply, he concluded.

Gonzales acknowledged that although “the country has been open to the invader as far as he dare go,” he recommended that “the central batteries” should have “just enough cavalry to help the guns in an emergency, & perform vidette duty” while greater support, when needed, could come “from two regiments of infantry selected from the most reliable troops we have...ready at all times to move on any point....” This system, he believed, “would be of far more service to the land defense of Charleston & the line of the Sav[annah] R[ail] R[oad] than five times its numbers of troops that have never yet been moved in time to do the good expected of them.”

IMPORTANT HAND-DRAWN CIVIL WAR MAP: FORT WAGNER DEFENSE OF CHARLESTON

dated 4th September 1863, Fort Wagner, Morris Island, South Carolina, Docketed on the verso: “Engrs. Office / Morris Isl. S. C. / Sept 4th 1863 / Capt Suess Vol Engrs. This is my present idea of the force of Ft. Wagner / T. B. Brooks Maj.”

Although Confederate forces were able to retain control of Charleston and its harbor for the first two years of the Civil War, even in the face of Federal attempts to attack the city with its superior naval forces, another major effort was made by Union Major General Quincy A. Gillmore (1825-1888) through his operations against the defenses of the city during the summer of 1863. Gillmore, an engineer, wanted to disable the Confederate artillery that protected the city from two strategic fortifications, Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor and Fort Wagner on Morris Island. Using his superior firepower from the guns of Union warships and Federal batteries, he hoped to pound both forts into rubble. His first effort to storm Fort Wagner on 11 July failed with more than three hundred casualties. The second attack on Fort Wagner, a week later, was also repelled, but Gillmore refused to give up his efforts to destroy the fort. Both attempts to capture the fort had been by direct frontal assaults by infantry, and the 18 July battle had been exceptionally costly in loss of life. That assault was led by the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, which was composed of African American soldiers under the command of Colonel Robert Gould Shaw. Shaw was killed, and the regiment lost almost half of the six hundred men who went into battle. The 1989 film “Glory” chronicled the ill-fated attack. As soon as the battle ended, Gillmore set his men to work besieging the fort while his artillery constantly bombarded Fort Wagner, and he also stepped up the shelling of Fort Sumter. By using his troops to dig parallel trenches toward the fort, Gillmore planned to advance his battle line to within yards of the walls before attacking. By late August, he was close enough to launch another assault.

Before the Union forces attacked, General Gillmore wanted more precise details about the disposition of Confederate artillery and defensive positions for infantry within the fort. He requested his aide-de-camp and assistant engineer, Major Thomas Benton Brooks (1836-1900), to prepare a map to show as many of the interior features as possible. Major Brooks, in his journal, published in 1865 as part of Gillmore’s report, “Engineer and Artillery Operations Against the Defenses of Charleston Harbor in 1863” (New York: D Van Nostrand, 1865), recorded the origin of the map in his entry for 5 September. “During the past two days, by order of the general commanding, I have examined several prisoners, and have from them obtained additional information, which enabled me to draw a plan of Wagner, which was afterward found to contain no material error. At the request of General Terry twenty copies were furnished for the officers who were to go in the assaulting column of the 7th inst.” This map appears to be the original manuscript that Major Brooks sent to Captain John Ludwig Suess (c.1825-c.1910) of the New York Engineers.
