Columbia SC

Wade Hampton played a major role in the economic and political development of South Carolina and became one of the wealthiest planters in the South.

Born in Virginia in 1751, Wade Hampton was a descendant of a Jamestown settler of 1630. Prior to the American Revolution, his parents decided to seek their fortune on the frontier of South Carolina. Here, except for Wade and three of his brothers, the family was massacred by Indians in 1776.

Wade Hampton went on to serve in the American Revolution as a South Carolina volunteer in the cavalry and was promoted to Brigadier General in 1809.  In 1814 he resigned his commission and returned to South Carolina where he acquired a large fortune land speculating.
