From
Charleston, S.C., the Pinckney family purchased plantations on the Ashepoo
River in Colleton County and became rice planters. They intermarried with
the lowcountry families of Bellingers, Godfreys, Guys, Porchers, and Webbs.
Letters to sons in college were prized and preserved, as such were those
of Eustace Bellinger Pinckney and his brother Charles while attending St.
John's College in Fordham, New York in the 1850's. These letters, included
in Back Over Home, provide insights into South
Carolina plantation life of the nineteenth century.
