Thomas Pinckney, of Bishop Auckland, County Durham, England came to South Carolina in the "Loyal Jamaica" in April 1692. (At the beginning of the Revolution, the Pinckney Papers and other valuables we re carried to Ashepoo, a place belonging to General Thomas Pinckney...the house was burned and everything in it except what had been plundered by Provosts attack in 1779. This explains the lack of data concerning the early generations.)
He was evidently in the West Indies for a period, and seems to have been engaged in privateering, for his affidavit dated Aug 22 1692, stated that Thomas Pinckney, Gentlemen, aged 24 years, belonged to the sloop "Dyamond" at the time that sloop and the "Mary" captured the French vessel that was condemned at Port Royal, Jamaica and sold.
Soon after his arrival in South Carolina, he married Grace Bedon in September 19, 1692 in Charleston, South Carolina. He married secondly, Mary Cotesworth in January 19, 1697/98 in England, at Bishop Auckland. He became a merchant in Charles Town, owned considerable land, had several lots in Charles Town, and land at Ashepoo and on Ashley River.
In "A Notice of the Pinckneys," by Maria Henrietta Pinckney, a great-grand daughter of Thomas , she states that Thomas resided on the Bay, in a house which afterwards belonged to Gen. Tho mas Pinckney , his grandson. She also tells a romantic story concerning the second husband of Mary (Cotesworth) Pinckney, George Evans: Thomas Pinckney seeing George Evans landing from a ship from the West Indies , "remarked that handsome West Indian will marry some poor fellow's widow, break her heart and rob her children." His words were prophetic for he died soon after in April 02, 1705 in Charleston, South Carolina and his widow did marry the West Indian.
