Archibald Broun, born Jan 9, 1751/52 in Goose Creek, South Carolina; died Dec 14, 1797 in South Carolina. He was the son of Robert Broun, M.D. and Elizabeth Thomas. He married Mary Deas Aug 17, 1 780.
Archibald Broun was entrusted with a mission to France in behalf of the Revolutionary forces prior to the war, to negotiate a loan for military supplies and equipment. Although his mission was successful, the ship bringing the supplies back was captured by the British and all was lost. He served in the Revolutionary War as a Captain. He was wounded by a bayonet at the Siege of Savannah when a sentry mistakenly stabbed him upon being awakened. He was troubled by this wound the rest of his life, and eventually died from it. Archibald Broun was a friend of the Marquis de Lafayette who he had met while he was in France. After the war the Marquis visited Charleston and Captain Broun entertained him at a dinner in his honor at the Blessing Plantation of Cooper River in Goose Creek.
