"About this time came Edmund Bellinger who had been captain of a merchant ship that had traded to the West Indies and Charles Town. Ten years later he was elected to the Commons House, and in 1699 was appointed a Proprietor's Deputy and member of the Grand Council and Surveyor General. On May 7, 1699, he received a patent as one of the Landgraves of Carolina. He died in 1706..."(Early English Settlers of South Carolina, Salley). Appeared in the colony Mar 24, 1685, aged 28 years or thereabout. The Landgrave patent carried with it the right to four baronies of 12000 A. each. The following accounts of the baronies of Edmund Bellinger come from a series of articles for the South Carolina Hist Mag, by H.A.M. Smith: Tomotley, located in Beaufort County, on Yemassee Lands opened up for settlement after the Yemassee War of 1715. The patent for Landgrave was received May 7, 1698, and under the patent a barony of 13000 A. was laid out in the Yemassee Lands, but the exact date of the grant is Unknown. It was possibly not laid out until it had passed to Edmund II on the death of his brother Thomas. According to a plat annexed to a deed made by Elizabeth, Edmund's widow, in 1743, the barony was laid out in 1728 to the Second Landgrave. No map exists to reconstruct the lines of the original barony, but it included Tomotley Plantation, destroyed in 1865 by the U. S. Army, and also the 50 A. given by Edmund's widow for the construction of Sheldon Church, in accordance with instructions left in his will. The church was burned by the British, rebuilt, and burned again by the U. S. Army. Ashepoo Barony consisted of 6000 A. lying on the south or west side of Ashepoo River. The grant is dated Dec 12, 1702. The other baronies were in Craven and Berkeley Counties, probably taken out by his son Edmund under the patent. Prior to the grants described above, Edmund had received 17 A. on east side of Cooper River, known as "Hazy Island", 1694, and 20 A. on the southwest side of Ittawan Island, or Daniell's Island, 1695. In 1697 he had received a grant of 1000 A. on the east side of Wando River and in 1701 1290 A. on Stono River near New Cut. 30 A. of this tract were given to the Parish of St. Paul's, Stono, for a church, built 1708. Its ruins are on Dixie Plantation. He married Elizabeth Cartwright in England, ca 1690.
During the riots following the controversy in the Commons House over paying the debts incurred in Gov. Moore's abortive St. Augustine expedition, Edmund Bellinger attempted to restore order as Justice of the Peace, and was roughed up by the crowd, with the knowledge and approval of Judge Nicholas Trott. In fact, Col. Wm Rhett hit him with his cane. The Bellinger's and most of the Colleton representatives were Dissenters and feuded with the Anglicans, such as Trott and Rhett, over questions of religious and political rights. His will as dated Oct 10, 1705, devised all lands under his patent to his eldest son Thomas, who died shortly thereafter. He died 1706.
