Appointed to Council, Dec. 15, 1749, and lieutenant governor in 1759, he gave his long life to public service, including five interim terms as governor. Unwavering in loyalty to the king, he left South Carolina with the British troops in 1782, and died in London nine years later. (SCHGM, II, 84, 85.)
