Daniel Elliott Huger House
The Daniel Elliott Huger House was the last home of a Royal governor in South Carolina. John Bull bought the property in 1759 from the estate of George Eveleigh. Eveleigh had built a house at 39 Church Street on the large lot that had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street. The land later passed through the hands of Bull's widow and then to his granddaughters. Historians have been unable to determine which owner was responsible for building the house, but it was probably built around 1760. The large double house (i.e., four rooms per floor with a central stair hall) is three stories tall and sits on a high foundation. The exterior has a stucco finish that might have been added following the earthquake of 1886. The three-story piazzas on the south side were added in the 20th century. Lord and Lady William Campbell, the former Sarah Izard, were married in 1763. In 1775, they were residing in a house owned by Mrs. Blake, first cousin of Lady Camp ...

George Eveleigh House
The George Eveleigh House is a pre-Revolutionary house in Charleston, South Carolina. The house was built about 1743 for trader George Eveleigh. Eventually, Eveleigh returned to England and sold his house to John Bull in 1759. John Bull or one of his heirs subsequently built the house at 34 Meeting Street on the rear of the property; the parcel had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street on the west. The house retains much of its original cypress woodwork although many of the fireplace mantels were replaced in the Adam period.

Lord William Campbell
Lord William Campbell (11 July 1730 – 4 September 1778) was from a Scottish family loyal to the House of Hanover. His father was John Campbell, 4th Duke of Argyll. From 1752 to 1760, he served in the Royal Navy in India. In 1762, because of the Seven Years' War, he was scheduled to serve in America. He met and married a lady named Sarah Izard from South Carolina in 1763. His brother-in-law was a future American rebel and member of the Second Continental Congress, Ralph Izard. In 1764, they returned to Britain where he became a member of Parliament, representing the family seat in Argyllshire. In 1766 he was appointed Governor of Nova Scotia, a position he held until 1773.

Charged with bringing in the reins on the colony's revolutionaries, Campbell first decided t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
American Revolution
The American Revolution was an ideological and political revolution that occurred in British America between 1765 and 1791. The Americans in the Thirteen Colonies formed independent states that defeated the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), gaining independence from the British Crown and establishing the United States of America as the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of liberal democracy. American colonists objected to being taxed by the Parliament of Great Britain, a body in which they had no direct representation. Before the 1760s, Britain's American colonies had enjoyed a high level of autonomy in their internal affairs, which were locally governed by colonial legislatures. During the 1760s, however, the British Parliament passed a number of acts that were intended to bring the American colonies under more direct rule from the British metropole and increasingly intertwine the economies of the colonies with those of Brit ...
