Summary
Correspondence, accounts, receipts, land, legal, estate, and other papers of Charles Pinckney (1699-1758), Elizabeth (Lucas) Pinckney (1721-1793), Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (1746-1825), Harriott (Pinckney) Horry (1748-1830), Thomas Pinckney (1750-1828), and other members of the Pinckney and related families. Most of the papers belong to the second generation of Pinckneys and reflect family affairs and plantation life in South Carolina in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Includes six letterbooks (1791-1814) of Thomas Pinckney containing copies of his diplomatic correspondence as minister to Great Britain, relating to his negotiations with Spain, and covering his command of the 6th and 7th Districts in the War of 1812; and letters and passports (1828-1829) relating to Benjamin Huger's "grand tour" of Europe.
