Mary Rutledge explores the deep historical and familial connections between Charleston and Greenville, challenging myths about migration patterns and origins. She traces key Charleston families—including the Rutledges, Mitchells, and Aikens—who settled in Greenville, enriching its civic and religious life. Central to the narrative is John Rutledge, a major figure in South Carolina and U.S. history, whose descendants moved to Greenville during the Civil War. The piece highlights notable figures like Dr. Hugh Rutledge, Dr. Alexander Mitchell, and Benjamin Perry, emphasizing their Charleston roots and Greenville impact. These interwoven stories illustrate enduring ties between the Lowcountry and the Upcountry.Collection
