a clause was inserted in the const:tu-

act Of signing is thus described n hcr

this charter was the first document
signed by her baptisnal mans. The
purchase was completed on February
% (Washington's birthday being the
appropriate date selected), 1859, just
two years before the war came On.
The work Of repairs and restoration
was stopped by the war. Miss Gun

directed that in case of the occupation

Rosemont, the Beautiful.

The fame of Iosemont as place of
beauty came after the arrival Of Mrs.
Louisa Cunningham. It had fame be-
fore but not Of this nature. It was
famed far and wide as the first and
largest frame house in upper South
Carolina, as having been framed in
England in 1740, as being the centre
of the largest private landed estate in
the country, 10000 acres, and as the
home Of Patrick Cunningham, the dep
uty surveyor general Of the province.
Curwin, in his journal and Let
ters, 1776-S4," says Of Patrick Cum
ingham and his family: 'The family
CT Cun;nghams Cor Cuninghames)
was from Scotland, where they had
taken a determined part during the
struggles there for religious freedom.
The ancestors of the Cuninghams of
South Carolina about the year 1851
came ever to America and settled IN
Virginia. n January, 1869, Robert
and Patrick, the two eldest sons Of
John, who was settled in Augusta,
Va, removed to Ninety-Six district OF
South Carolina. Robert settled a.
Island ford, en- the Saluda river, and
was one of the first magistrates in
that district. Patrick, the same year
was made deputy surveyor-general
under Sir Egerton Leigh, surveyor
general" Patrick received fer his
pay for his work a grant from King
George Of 10000 acres OF land. He
selected 10000 in one body and in
the centre of this vast estate he built
on the banks of the Saluda his home,
now known as Rosemont. The other
10000 acres of land were selected
further down the river.
Curwin further says of the two
brothers: ''The Cuninghams were not
altogether opposed to the principles Of
the Revolution. They did not think
that the English government ought to
be permitted to impose taxes on the
