Possible Relations in SC: Springfield and Its Carving In
Valley of Santee Dam Lake:
One Hundred and Twenty Year Old House Overlooks Fertile Fields
at Border of Berkeley and Orangeburg Counties By F. M. Kirk:
Eutawville, Sept. 28-Special: When Joseph Palmer built his
mansion at Springfield Plantation in 1817 be built for
posterity. He constructed his house of hand-hewn black cypress
which defied the elements. The building today is in as good
condition as it was a century ago. Construction of the house was
under way about the time that stockholders were sadly realizing
that the old Santee-Cooper canal was a financial failure, and
none dreamed that a second Santee-Cooper canal would be
projected. The old canal, completed in 1800 probably helped
Joseph Palmer. It gave him an opportunity to lease slaves,
during an agricultural depression, on the construction work. The
second canal, if materialized, will flood the fertile fields,
still cultivated by his descendants. It will necessitate the
destruction of the magnificent mansion he built. Springfield is
now the home of the widow of the last male owner, Edmund G.
Palmer (Grandson of the builder), and of her son-in-law and
daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas S. McGuinness. It is located in
Upper St. John's Parish, Berkeley County, six miles east of
Eutaw Springs. The plantation has never passed out of the hands
of the Palmer family.
Family Name Change: Thomas Palmer, who spelled his name Pamor,
the English emigrant, left three sons: Joseph, David and John,
and a daughter, Elizabeth. John is the ancestor of the
Springfield line. John Palmer, who made a fortune out of
turpentine on his plantation, Gravel Hill, in St. Stephen's
Parish, commanded in his will that his sons forever after spell
their names "Palmer" rather than "Pamor." The last will and
testament of "Turpentine John," as he was known, has been
rigidly carried out by his descendants in the spelling of the
name. In this section, however, the pronunciation of the
original spelling has been retained. It was Turpentine John's
son, Captain John Palmer, who purchased the tract now known as
Springfield, some time probably before the Revolution, from
Isaac Couturier and Thomas Palmer, the latter being the
captain's brother. Captain John Palmer, apparently, never lived
at Springfield. He settled Richmond Plantation, St. Stephen's
Parish, in 1769 and lived there until his death in 1817. Though
his chief interests centered in St. Stephen's Parish, his
journal, now at Springfield, has many interesting entries
regarding his activities on his "lands in St. John's Parish."
As late as 1783 he mentions "planting indigo at Springfield."
Many planters were beginning to forsake indigo about that time.
Finest Carvings in Country: Isaac Couturier and Thomas Palmer
apparently secured the land they sold to Captain Palmer by royal
grants considerably before the Revolution. Captain Palmer and
his son, Joseph, to whom the plantation was willed, constantly
added to their holdings, as a number of old plats at Springfield
indicate. Some of these tracts so added date back to grants
made in the early years of the eighteenth century. There is no
record when the earlier house was built or when it was taken
down; for apparently, there was an earlier residence on the
place. Joseph Palmer was living at Springfield when he
commenced construction on the present house. It is said by some
that Joseph Palmer was born there in 1776. No house in Berkeley
County, and few anywhere, can boast the elaborate and beautiful
carving that adorn the interior of Springfield. Hand carved by
slaves with tools still in possession of the family, the
ornateness and intricacy of the designs present an unrivaled
picture of beauty. In her account of the Palmer reunion held
there last December, Miss Flora B. Surles aptly describes the
woodwork as "giving one the impression of something made of lace
rather than of wood." The two front entrance rooms, serving as
drawing room and dining room, have high mantels elaborately
decorated to the ceiling. The cornices above doors and windows
and the wains coating and frieze carry out the same design.
Other rooms have simpler decorations. The rooms are large and
well proportioned. A small wing on either side of the main body
of the house, gives the building excellent proportions.
Founder of Pineville: Captain John Palmer, father of Joseph the
builder, was an active partisan during the Revolution, and
served as an aide to General Marion. In 1794 he was one of the
founders of the village of Pineville which soon became the
summer home of all planters in the community. He took an active
part in the affairs of the parish and wrote a historical sketch
of St. Stephen's Parish for Ramsey's History of South Carolina,
which was published in Charleston in 1809. The captain's father,
"Turpentine John" of Gravel Hill, and his uncle Joseph, of
Webdo, were both too far advanced in years to take active parts
in the Revolutionary struggle. Both however, were ardent Whigs
and earned the hatred of the Tories during that bitter partisan
period. Both were seized by their enemies and carried to Biggin
Church, which was then a British past. There the two brothers
were thrust into the dark and clammy confines of the Colleton
family vault. Not so much as a blanket was given them to keep
off the chill air of their gloomy prison. When they were
eventually liberated from their dungeon, the brothers were so
weakened that it took them two days to reach Gravel Hill, only
ten miles away. Such was their condition and such their fear of
further imprisonment that each took turns carrying the other on
his back.
Executor for Many: Joseph Palmer I, of Springfield, was
outstanding in his community for the regard and affection in
which he was held by his neighbors. "Few persons," says
Professor Frederick A. Porcher, "have ever had so many trusts
confided to them as executors; and none has ever discharged them
more assiduously or more faithfully." He seem to have been
impulsive at times in speech and action. On one occasion a
minster preached a political sermon in the lower parish which
gave offense to all St. John's. So offended was Joseph Palmer
with the sermon that he declared that the clergyman should never
enter his house. (Famed though it was for its hospitality). Not
long after, while Mr. Palmer was away from home, the political
parson drove up to Springfield and asked for a night's lodging.
The mistress of the house, fearful of the scene to follow, bade
him welcome, and nervously awaited the return of her husband. It
was night when Joseph Palmer returned, but Mrs. Palmer met him
before he entered the house to warn him of the unwelcomed guest.
"Damn him," cried Mr. Palmer. "Is he here?" Then he strode into
the drawing room to greet the minister with every courtesy that
hospitality demanded. Never did the minister realize the relief
to his hostess of that warm welcome. Springfield today retains
the charm of former years. The dwelling is located in the midst
of a yard filled with moss-draped trees. The house has been
kept in perfect repair and all lands are extensively cultivated.
Historic Rocks Church (Church of the Epiphany) is located about
a mile northeast of the house, and is surrounded on all sides by
the plantation lands.
