The Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Harriott Pinckney Horry Papers

The Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Harriott Pinckney Horry papers bring together materials of two South Carolina women, Eliza Lucas Pinckney (1722-1793) and her daughter Harriott Pinckney Horry (1748-1830). Their letters, diaries, “receipt books,” and other records spanning nearly a century (1739 to 1830) document from the point of view of two observant and articulate women, a mother and a daughter, significant political and social events and people of the late colonial and early national period, and the everyday concerns and activities of managing households and plantations and raising families. The Pinckney Papers project is directed by Dr. Constance Schultz, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of History, at the University of South Carolina.
