Born 1730 in London
Had family in SC and lived in Charleston in the early 1750's
Description: Medium height, athletic, arrogant.  As Gov, he radicalized Christopher Gadsden when he refused to seat him in the SC legislature after he was duly elected.  He also presided over the first government shut-down by the legislature.  He was distinctly ineffectual.
