The Lesesne family relationship with Daniel Island began in 1699, when Issac Lesesne was given 171 acres of land on the island. The family plantation, “The Grove,” supplied Charles Town with many of its goods such as cotton, indigo and meat. Even St. Michael’s Church was the beneficiary of their products. Lime that was produced on their plantation was used in the construction of the church.
