WMSBURG'S FIRST COLONISTS
Supposed to Be Irish Emigrants
from Belfast In 1732.
Editor County Record:?
There has been much speculation
and conjecture as to the first colonization
of the township of Williamsburg.
There are a number of traditions
as to the time and place of
the landing of the first colony of
Scotch-Irish emigrants in 1732. Of
the second emigration in 1734 we
have a fairly accurate account
written by Robert Witherspoon,
| one of the members of the Witherspoon
family, who came over in the
emigration of 1734. This colony embarked
at Belfast, Ireland, September
14, 1734, and landed in Charles
Town "three weeks before Christmas"
in the same year. But to return
to the first colonists. In the
South Carolina Gazette of Saturday,
October 28,1732,1 find the following
significant notice, "Yesterday arrived
the Happy Return from Belfast
in Ireland having on board 85 Irish
passengers." Were not these the
first colonists? It is to be regretted
that the notice is so brief. So
far as we know there was no other
body of Irish emigrants who came
t/i Carolina in that year. It seems
as if all the later emigrations sailed
from Belfast, and I think that we
may feel reasonably sure that these
85 passengers were Williamsburg's
first colonists that came in a body.
The arrival and departure of all
vessels are recorded; and we find no
other colonists in this year, except
the Swiss who settled Purvsburg
on the Savannah river, in the same
year. I think that had any other
body of colonists arrived some notice
would have been given in the Gazette.
Yours truly,
S A Graham.
