• Notes

  From 1704 to 1706, Daniel Axtell and others operated a tar kiln in which at least four slaves tended the fire, made and carted barrels, and occasionally received cash for their work. https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/first/m/morgan-slave.html?source=post_page--------------------------- ********* In 1678 Axtell's son, also named Daniel Axtell, fled to Carolina after his house in Stoke Newington was searched for seditious libels. He died in 1687.[12] Wikipedia ************ In the early 1680s, London merchant Daniel Axtell began promoting migration from the British Isles to Carolina and planned on migrating there with his family. He was most likely the son of an officer in Oliver Cromwell's army who oversaw the trial of Charles I and was later executed in 1660 after the restoration of the Crown. Axtell and another Londoner, Joseph Morton, were instrumental in convincing hundreds of colonists to migrate to Carolina and were each rewarded with the feudal title of Landgrave. Morton took up lands to the south of Charles Town along the Edisto River and quickly became the governor of the colony. "Daniell Axtell of London Marcht" received a warrant for three thousand acres on December 13, 1680. He did not spend much time in Carolina before his death in 1684. Daniel Axtell's son, Holland, took his father's title of Landgrave, but his widow, Rebecca Axtell, lived on and oversaw their main plantation, named Newington. The plantation was located on the upper reaches of the Ashley River, near the present city of Summerville. Newington was probably the result of Axtell's original 1680 grant of three thousand acres, and this plantation has the only surviving account book from the early years of the colony.25 From:Enslaved Native Americans and the Making of South Carolina, 1659? 1739. by Andrew Johnson ******* In I 678, another Daniel Axtell, probably a son of Col. Daniel, left England in company with many others of Puritanic tende::cies on account of the oppression and indignities to which they were subjected by the law and government of the country. August 13, 1678, before leaving England, he made a will in which he remembers his children: Sibella, Sibyl, Daniel, Mary, Holland, Rebecca, Elizabeth and Ann. Of these, only ont: of age, he made his ,vife, "Rebeckah" "his full and whole executrix," Henry Danvers, Esq. and \\Villiam Pennington, his friends, were to assist his wife "in gathering in the esta:,,~ from abroad and advising and helping her disposing of it when at home." (N. E. His. & Gen. Rec. Vol. 44, p58.) A grant of 3,000 acres in South Carolina was made to him Decem- -4.f !3 ber 13, 1680. His son started for South Carolina about that time, but died on the way over and ,vas buried at sea. The father appears at that date to have been in England, but later was again in South Carolina in the movement to establish a colony of which he was one of the leaders. from: Axtell Geneology, 1945 CARSON A. AXTELL ********* Merchant in London, Came to South Carolina ca 1680, received land grant for 3000 acres 1680, made Landgrave in 1681, married Lady Rebecca Holland who came to South Carolina in 1683 and she received grants of about 3,780 acres in 1696, 1704, 1707 and 1711. [Comp. of Am Gen.] Daniel and his son Holland were "landgraves" near modern Summerville, South Carolina on the Ashley River (inland from Charles Town--now Charleston). Holland died childless in 1692. The name died with him, but the daughters married well
