by Simons, James Sr.
[Charleston, SC, 1852. Folio, folded to 7-1/2" x 9". [1], [3 blank] pp. Ink manuscript on first page only, signed at end by James Simons. A title report concerning encumbrances on lands sold by Caleb Williams to Sinkler. Very Good.

James Simons Sr. [1813-1879] was a lawyer, South Carolina state legislator, Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives, and Confederate general in the Civil War. As a Brigadier General of the South Carolina Militia Fourth Infantry Brigade, he led the first attack on Fort Sumter, South Carolina, on April 12, 1861.
Col. James Sinkler [1810-1854] was a farmer and member of the South Carolina House of Representatives. It is unclear where his military title originated from, possibly the local militia. Sinkler lived on the family plantation, Wampee, which was passed down by his father. At the time of the 1850 USFC Slave Schedules, Sinkler owned 73 slaves.
Caleb Williams [died c. 1849] and Joseph Foxworth [c.1799-1850] appear to have been farmers. Peronneau & Hayne was a Charleston law firm. The partners included: Henry W. Peronneau [1792-1859], a Charleston lawyer connected with the firms of Peronneau & Finley, later Peronneau, Mazyck & Finley, and finally Peronneau & Hayne. He served as a member of the City Council, Senior Warden of the South Carolina Society, and President of the Charleston Bible Society. William Henry Peronneau [1823-1874], Henry's son, was a lawyer, served as secretary of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and as president of the Washington Light Infantry Rifle Club of Charleston. Isaac William Hayne [1809-1880], who appears to have been Henry's cousin, was Private Secretary and aid-de-camp to Governor Robert Y. Hayne in 1830, a local lawyer and judge, and Attorney General of South Carolina in the late 1840s through the Civil War. (Inventory #: 41046)
