One woman with this last name, Frances, was the first wife of Robert Hayne. Another woman with the maiden name Eliza Lucas took this last name upon marriage - she gained fame as the first person to successfully cultivate indigo in the American colonies, at the Belmont Plantation. One man by this surname joined his fellow state Senator Pierce Butler in introducing the Fugitive Slave Clause to the Constitution. A quote by Robert Goodloe Harper was infamously misattributed to another man of this family, who probably said "not a sixpence!" rather than "millions for tribute, but not one cent for peace!" as he's often quoted. Another man of this name negotiated the Treaty of San Lorenzo along with Manuel de Godoy, which established the US boundary with Spanish Florida - that treaty is more often called by this man's name. FTP, name this South Carolina family of patriots which included "Charles" and "Charles Cotesworth."
