“RAISING REVOLUTIONARIES: Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Her Sons”

Join the Daniel Island Historical Society as we spotlight Eliza Lucas Pinckney and two of her children for Women’s History Month in March! In some ways, Eliza Lucas Pinckney has come to overshadow her sons. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney was a signer of the Constitution and Thomas Pinckney was Governor of South Carolina and the first U.S. Minister to the Court of St. James. Our guest speaker Faye Jensen, CEO Emerita of the South Carolina Historical Society, will draw from the Society’s collection of Pinckney Family papers to focus on Eliza’s parenting style and her relationship with her sons. 

Some of the reasons why Eliza Lucas Pinckney is so interesting.
