NOTES
1). Wade Hampton came to live in Richland County after the Rev olution. His brother Richard and he had been engaged in bus iness with a certain Gray, mostly in the up country. The re cords show large sales of provisions at the Congarees to Ge neral Sumter. Edward Hampton, another brother, while survey ing before the war, surveyed a number of tracts of land i n the fork of the Congaree and Wateree. Colonel Wade Hampton married in 1783 Mrs. Martha Epps H owell, widow of Malachi Howell, son of Thomas and Grace How ell She was the only child of Jesse Goodwyn and his wife, M artha, daughter of Philip Raiford. She died May 22, 1784. N o children by thismarriage are known. A letter dated in 17 84 in possession of Professor Yates Snowden is addressed t o Col. Wade Hampton at Greenfield, the plantation of his wi fe, below Adams Mill Pond. Two years later, August 14, 178 6, Colonel Hampton married HarrietFlud. The census of 179 0 records Wade Hampton in Richland County as head of a fami ly, in which there were two males including himself ove r 16 years of age, five under 16 years, three females, an d 86 slaves. Whether there were any children of eithermarriage at this time cannot be ascertained. A son, Wade, who is generally known as Col. Wade Hampton , builder of Millwood, was born in Columbia, April 21, 1791 and another son, Frank, was born later, if the fact tha t both left the South Carolina College in the same year, Wade in the junior class, his brother a sophomor e, indicates a similar difference in age. Mrs. Harriet Hampton died October 31, 1794. Seven year s after this Colonel Hampton married Mary Cantey, July 18 , 1801, who survived him. Of this union several children we re born, as shown by the graves in Trinity churchyard. He d ied at the age of 83,on the 4th of February, 1835 she a t the same age on the 19th of June, 1863. One daughter surv ived, Caroline, wife of John S. Preston. Shortly after the Revolution the state offered lands fo r sale at $10.00 for a hundred acres. Wade Hampton became t he owner of many thousands of acres He, with Thomas Taylo r and Timothy Rives, secured title in 1785 to 18,500 acre s on Gill Creek, from above Lakeview, on both sides of th e creek to the Congaree. Colonel Taylor retained part of th e land at the upper end, while Colonel Hampton became posse ssor of the balance. Several years later, the exact time not known, he built a home near Gil l Creek, about two miles below Garner s Ferry road.
