Notities over Sabina de Vigon Dowager Wernhart

This site is a place of two hauntings...
Medway, Iocated two miles above Goose Creek, is approached by a driveway lined with massive oaks streaming with heavy moss. It is the oldest house of record in the state. It was built of brick made an d dried on the site in 1686, sixteen years after the Charles Town colony was settled. It was built by a Dutchman, Jan Van Arrsens, Seigneur de Weirnhoudt, for his beautiful wife Sabina de Vignon. Jan did not live long enough to enjoy his wife nor home. His widow married Landgrave Thomas Smith, who served as governor of the Carolinas. Neither marriages produced any children for Sabina. Landgrave Thomas Smith died at the age of forty-six and was buried at Medway. His grave is marked by a heavy slab. There is no trace of the grave of Van Arrsens.

The story goes...Jan appears in the south side upstairs bedroom in the late evening hours, seated by the fireplace smoking a pipe.

Downstairs, there is another ghostly visitor...A beautiful young girl, whose heart was broken as she stood at the north window waiting on her handsome young husband's return. Medway was a gathering of many hunts. During one of the gatherings of deer hunters and their wives included a newly wed couple very much in love. The new bride was reluctant to let her husband go. She begged him to stay with her, he assured her he would be fine. His bride watched him go with a terrible feeling of disaster. She took no part in the laughter and talk with the other wives. She was distracted and restless. For hours she continually went to the north window to look out toward the woods. She stared through the small panes until dusk began to fall. Eventually the hunters returned with two carrying a stretcher. The girl sought frantically for the face she loved. Only when the stretcher was placed at her feet did she see whose lifeless form lay there. They took her home where she died shortly afterward. They say she died of a broken heart.

The story goes...that the years since her death, she has haunted the spot where she actually died at the sight of a face on a stretcher at Medway. Night after night she returns to the place of her anguish to wait on her beloved husband. Some say that she stands in the north window to gaze out through the small panes. Others say there is only a rustling of her gown as she waits, Iike a deer moving a branch in the forest.
