- Lot Description
(REVOLUTIONARY WAR) MARION, GENERAL FRANCIS
Folio, manuscript map showing three contiguous land grants from February and August, 1758, in Charleston Parrish, South Carolina, the current document being a resurvey conducted on behalf of Col. Kealing L. Simons on April 23, 1817, being the current owner of the land bequeathed or purchased from the landed estate of the late Mrs. Mary E. Marion, wife of General Francis Marion, historically referred to as "The Swamp Fox."
The present 1,064 acres is split in three contiguous grants, labelled A-E-H, representing "Lynahs tract granted to James Roberts February 1, 1758," "General Marion's original tract, as part of a tract granted to James Flud August 1, 1758" and "Pond Bluff … part of the same tract granted to James Flu on August 1, 1758." The land is surrounded by the following properties: Walnut Grove Plantation (Property of Capt. James Gaillard), Property of Robert Rogers, Property of Peter Gaillard, and that of Colonel James B. Richardson, the latter being a portion of Pond Bluff delineated with a blue line.
This may be the only near contemporary document linking the two irregular warfare American leaders, Marion and Rogers. Rogers led a company of mercenaries in the Carolinas in 1761 and presumably bought his land from Marion's grant as shown here. Rogers' Rules are still quoted in the Army Ranger Handbook. Marion's Washington, DC statue has been approved by Congress but has not yet been built.
