- his death in 1850.
In 1838, Thomas G. Clemson married

k nal mahogany alditboard was made
from pieces of the frigate "t'onstitiMon,"
famous in the War of 1812.
This sideboard was presented to
Henry Clay and he in turn pre?gpntwi?it
tTi Calhoun "after?thrlatter's
speech in defense of the
Federal Constitution.
On the grounds are a few trees
which were presented to John C.
Calhoun by famous men. Stephen
Decatur brought a varnish tree to
Calhoun from Madagascar; Danie'
Webster, the great orator, gave
Calhoun a hemlock from his home
state; and an arbor vitap in the
grove is from Henry (Tlay. The
cedars were planted by the family
in hopes of warding oil the deadly
miasma?the vapor that supposedly
brought malaria up from theswam ps.
On the grounds nearby is an interesting
little separate building, Calhoun's
study, where he did much of
hia work.
