Charles Pinckney (1699-1758), first native lawyer of South Carolina, was educated in England. He became attorney-general in 1736 and chief justice in 1752, but after six months was removed for a placeman, Peter Leigh. His second wife, Elizabeth Lucas, is remembered for her part in the introduction of indigo as a staple. (McCrady, ,S. C. under Royal Government, p. 473; SCHGM, XXXIX, 17.)
