The Elms Plantation - Ralph Izard inherited The Elms after
his father's death in 1749. During the Revolution he provided
financial support to the Patriot cause. He also served as a
foreign diplomat, advisor to George Washington, and US Senator.
The Elms, which remained in the Izard family for generations,
was established here by Izard's great-grandfather (also named
Ralph), who settled in SC in 1682.
