Provenance

Notes

Donated by descendant of Arthur Middleton and Alicia Russell Middleton. Descended through the Middleton family. Hope Middleton Wood received the chair from her mother's Patience Hurd Middleton's estate (7/14/1905-10/10/1983) Her father, Arthur Middleton (8/23/1897-8/31/1969) His father, William Dehon Middleton (11/6/1862-11/30/1942) after Julia Porcher Blake Middleton (11/7/1867-1/18/1953) passed away His father, Arthur Middleton of Daisy Bank (1832-1910)...(first born of Nathaniel Russell Middleton from his first wife, Julia Emma Rhett 1835-1908) His father Nathanial Russell Middleton (1810-1890) * I have come to believe that the things that our families have are the things that stayed in Charleston at the Pitt & Calhoun Street residence, jointly owned by Nathaniel R. Middleton and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Alice Izard Heyward, she took care of the 3 boys after Julia's death at 25, (1836). He married Anna DeWolfe in 1842 and moved with the 3 boys back to Stono. He sold Stono in 1852 and moved into their 22 South Battery home. His father, Arthur Middleton of Bolton on Stono, (1785-1837), Alicia Russell's husband, son of Thomas Middleton (1753-1797), brother of "Arthur the signer"
