~~INTRODUCTION~~

The first issue of The South-Carolina Gazette appeared on Saturday, January 8, 1732, and it was published continuously once a week until December, 1775, when it temporarily suspended publication on account of war conditions. It resumed publication on Monday, April 14, 1777, with its name changed to The Gazette of the State of South-Carolina, and continued to be published, and e?- various changes of name, until some time during the year 1802, when it finally passed out of existence.

The death notices here given are from the files from the beginning of the paper to its first suspension and change of name. 

On Tuesday last died Joseph Haynes, which was the 17th Day after his being first taken ill of the Small-pox, of which Disstemper (agreeable to our last) he was, the Day before his Death, in a fair Way of Recovery, and supposed to be out of Danger, but upon shifting himself took cold, which occasion'd so sudden and fatal an Alteration. We hear the Nurse who attended him in his Illness, is ordered to continue in the House where he died for 20 Days, by Way of Quarentine.

On Wednesday last died of a Flux, at Mr. Stephen Beaton's in this Town, one Mr. Tho. Cole, a Person who came from Providence to this Place about 6 Months ago for his Health. A few Days before his Death, he made his Will, and left the Chief of his Effects to his Brother in England, and of his Will made the said Mr. Beaton Executor, who, having since his Death open'd his Boxes, before proper Witnesses, found therein 727 Ounces of Silver, and about the Value of 501. Sterling in Gold, besides several Parcels of small Goods, as Thread, Tape, etc. in which he had been a Dealer. He was a Dissenter, and a Man of fair Character. (Saturday, April 1, 1732)

On Monday last, after a very long Disorder, died, Mrs. Mazyck, the Wife of Mr. Isaac Mazycksen. Merchant of this Town, in an advanced Age, and on Wednesday following she was interr'd in the Church-Yard of this Place, in a very handsome Manner, being attended to her Funeral by most of the chief Merchants, and public Officers of the Province, that were then in Town.

On Sunday last, at the Seat of the Hon. Col. Broughton, President of his Majesty's Council for this Province, died Madam Johnson, his Excellency the Governor's Lady, after a pretty long Indisposition. She was a Lady so remarkable for the good Qualities of a Wife and Mother, that his Excellency's Loss can be supported only by that happy and steady Disposition of Mind He himself is Master of. By all her other amiable Qualities, in Life, she had gained the universal Esteem of this Province, and consequently her Death proves a General Concern; which was in some Measure testified by the Number of Persons, of all Ranks, that paid their last respects at her Funeral, which Ceremony was performed in the Church at Charlestown, in the most handshysome Manner that possibly it could. We hear that most People design, on this Occasion, to put themselves in Mourning. (Saturday, July 8, 1732)

(Saturday, March 2, 1734)

M Celiss loaden with Pitch and Tarr and bound from this Port to London, after having been a Fortnight at Sea, had the Misfortune that his Vessel sprung a leak and sunk, and that he and two of his Men narrowly escaped by putting out the Yawl: A Brigg being then in sight, and seeing them in Distress, came up and took them on board, but after having been in her about two Weeks, Capt.

(Saturday, August 24, 1734)

On Sunday last died Mr. John Franklin, a Gentleman of a very good Behaviour, which made him esteemed and beloved by every body, and as he died Batchelor, we hear he is very much regretted by a young Lady with whom he was going to be married, if Death had not taken him away. (Saturday, October 12, 1734)

On Saturday last between twelve and one o'clock died, after a long and lingering Sickness, His Excellency Robert Johnson Esq; Captain General, Governor and Commander in Chief in and over this his Majesty's Province, and was decently interred on Monday last in a Vault near the Altar in Charles-Town Church.

The Troop and the two Companies of Charles-Town Foot appeared on this melancholy Occasion, to add to the Solemnity of the Procession. The principal Mourners were his Excellency's two Sons and two Daughters, his Brother in Law Thomas Broughton Esq; our present Governor, and his Family. His Excellency died in the 59th Year of his Age, and in the 5th of his Government. He had on his Advancement disposed of all his Patrimony in England, so that his Interest might concur with his Inclinations in promoting the Welfare of that Country his Majesty had done him the Honor to entrust him with the Care of, and accordingly always kept up a good Correspondence with the Assembly, as they were all fully convinced by the whole Tenor of his Conduct, that the Interest of the Province lay principally at his Heart. But it will be needless to enlarge upon a Life & Character so well known, and which have rendered his Death so universally and deservedly lamented over the whole Province. (Saturday, May 10, 1735)

He came into this Province about 22 Years ago, and has since carried on a considerable Trade in Charlestown, 'till lately (having acquired, by his honest Industry a competent Estate) he gave off his Business in Trade, and retired to said Plantation in the Country.

A Gentleman whose Character needs no Embellishment in this Place; but whose happy Conduct of Life, in all Paths of Religion and Virtue, has imprinted it fair and amiable in the Minds, and easy on the Tongues of all that knew him. Nor Envy nor ill Nature dares venture to detract from or gainsay his exemplary Piety; rare Temperence and Purity; his Integrity, flowing Benevolence and diffusive Charity; his House open to the Stranger, his Hand to the poor and needy, his Compassion and Assistance to all that were desolate or oppressed: In Sum, that fie was a pious, sober, honest, peaceable, good natured, charitable Man: in one Word, a sound and sincere Christian. No one, in his Sphere, more generally beloved! Nor any one's Death more generally lamented!

And suitable to his worthy Conduct of Life, was his peaceful End. He beheld the King of Terrors approaching him, with the greatest Firmness and Composure of Soul, and often repeating, — let me die the Death of the Righteous, and, let my End be like his, he calmly resigned it into the Hands of his Creator and Merciful Savior, and fell asleep.

His Corps was brought to Charlestown, to the House of Mr. Ja. Crokatt, from whence it was conveyed the Monday Evening following to the Place of Interment, attended by his mournful Widow and Daughter, and all the Inhabitants of any Note that were then in Town. (Thursday, September 28, 1738)

After that he lived private and retired from all public Business, and applied himself wholly to perfect his designed Explication, of the Original Hebrew Text of the new Testament; and finished one large Vol. in Folio fit for the Press some short Time before his Death.

Last Sabbath Morning died here, and was decently interred the Day following, amidst all the Sable Expressions of Grief, Mr. Charles Peronneau, Merchant, in the 28th Year of his Age.— A Name that will always be mentioned with Honor by all who have felt the Influence of his Acquaintance—He was a dutiful Son, a loving Brother, a sincere and steady Friend, and indeed an Ornament to his Country which has produced but few of his Equals, and ought to be thus publicly acquainted with the Loss it sustains by his Death.—By a laudable Industry, and quick Capacity for Business, under the smiles of Providence, he had amassed a considerable Interest, and laid a probable Foundation for all the little Happiness this World can promise; but was not so immersed in Bus-mess, as to forget the Improvements of a Genius, for which Nature had distinguished, him:— No; instead of prostituting his Leisure-Hours to the common Vices and vain Amusements of Youth he devoted them to reading, and had collected and perused many Writers of the first Class and Character—He had a good Taste in Poetry, and had well digested several excellent Pieces, as well Theological as Philosophical— As he had a Thirst for Learning in all it's most valuable Branches; so with a just Balance, and due Mixture of Judgment and Imagination, he became a great Master of his Pen; which he discovered in several occasional Letters to his intimate Friends, of that Spirit, Elegance and Correctness, that they might bear the Examination of the severest Criticks of the Age, and could not fail of the Applause of all candid Judges: And if he arrived to this Perfection in "Writing by the mere Force of his own Powers and Application, what might we not have expected from him, had he stood nearer the Fountains of Science, conversed more freely with Academics, and dwelt among the Muses—Nor had he less of the Gentleman than of the Scholar, for he understood all the Forms of Civility, the Rules and Decencies of Conversation; and how to indulge an innocent Freedom, without any Breach or Inroad upon Religion and Modesty.

—To sum up his Character, he was of an admirable natural Temper, of much social Virtue, and more than a Tincture of serious Religion; which he was of too catholic a Spirit, and had too much Grandeur of Soul to confine to a Party, or Points of more Indifference.—A Man of such Merit, and so many natural and moral Accomplishments, snatched away in his Prime and Flower, is no private Loss; but a monitory and affecting Instance of the Vanity of Human Life; while his Character deserves Immortality, and survives for the Imitation of young Gentlemen, who, with him, would live beloved and die lamented; without which, the most pompous Funeral-Procession is but the Burial of an Ass. (Thursday, October 23, 1740)

On Tuesday last about 5 in the Afternoon, one Gideon Norton, a Ship-Carpenter in Tradd-street, having cleaned his Gun, loaded it at the Desire of his Wife, then brought it in to show her how clean he had made it, and the Muzzle being towards her, it unfortunately went off, and shot her in the right Breast through her Body, whereby she instantly died. The next Day the Coroner's Inquest having viewed the Body, and examined several Witnesses, it appeared, that the said Norton and his Wife had lived together in mutual Love from the Day of their Marriage till this sad Accident, whereby the disconsolate Husband lost one of the best of Wives, having left behind several young Children. The Jury brought in their Verdict Casual Death. (Thursday, November 27, 1740)

On the 22d Day of March last, departed this Life Mr. Henry Wood, in the 68th Year of his Age; he was the third Child born in this Province, and is an Instance how ill grounded are the Prejudices some Persons entertain against this Climate, as if few or none arrived at any remarkable Age, whereas for the Number of Inhabitants, there are as many Persons advanced in Years in this Colony as in most other Places: It is indeed granted, that the Youthful and the Vigorous are more liable to be cut off by Fevers, Co. in the warmer Regions, than in such as are colder; but then it must likewise be granted on the other Hand, that, as Wine is reckoned to be Old-Mens Milk, so those Persons, who by Temperance and a good Constitution escape thro' Youth and Manhood, generally enjoy a good Old Age, being cherished by that kindly Warmth which is so agreeable to their Natures. As a Proof of this many Persons might be mentioned, particularly Mrs. Baker, who died in the 104th Year of her Age, Mr. Underwood in his 100th; Mr. Simmonds in his 80th; and Mr. Wm. Elliott in his 78th, besides several others, who have been inserted in this Gazette a few Months past. (Thursday, April 2, 1741)

(Monday, September 27. 1742)

Friday was sev'n night, about One in the Morning expired in his Sleep, Colonel Miles Brewton, Powder-Receiver of this Province, and in the 70th Year of his Age. What is very remarkable, it was just that Day ‘61 Years, since He and his Two surviving Sisters first accompanied their Parents into this Country. This Instance joined to many others, that might be produced of ancient Settlers (some few of whom were prior, and several much later) might be urged as a pretty strong Argument to remove a too common though mistaken Prejudice, entertained by our Northern Neighbors against Us. as if we were a Colony of Youths, and that Grey-Hairs would not flourish in this Climate; whereas, it might be easily demonstrated, as well from Principles of Reason, as from Experiences, that in Proportion to the exact Number of Inhabitants, the Balance of aged Persons would turn out in our Favor. But this by the Way: As it is undoubtedly the Duty of every rational and accountable Being earnestly to endeavor like the Good Old-Man deceased to persevere in a constant and uniform Course of Virtue: so every Man, who from a well ordered Conversation here, has formed any pleasing hope, that his Peace and Happiness are seated above, would, I believe, ardently desire, like Him also, to vanish from the Earth, and to find such an easy and placid Passage into a glorious Immortality.
