Property Description
The Legacy of the Lynch Family & Rivertowne:
Thomas & Sabina Lynch were among Mount Pleasant's earliest & wealthiest residents. Their 18th-century plantation house once stood on the land now known as Rivertowne. The Lynch family story in the Lowcountry began in 1677, when Jonack Lynch emigrated from Ireland to Charles Towne. He established Blessing Plantation & by 1715, Jonack's son, Thomas Lynch, had acquired 1,170 acres along the east bank of the Wando River- present-day Rivertowne. Thomas built a "new dwelling house" on the property, known as Brick House. A prominent figure in colonial society, Thomas served in the Commons House of Assembly & was a colonel in the Christ Church Parish militia. Their son, also named Thomas, became a staunch patriot & was elected to represent South Carolina at the First Continental Congress. His son, Thomas Lynch Jr., signed the Declaration of Independence on behalf of his ailing father in 1776- forever etching the Lynch name into American history. In the 1990s- when Rivertowne was first developed- archaeologists uncovered the foundation of "Brick House" on the site where Rivertowne now rests, along with several small brick kilns believed to have been used in the home's original construction. Today, near 2240 Branch Creek, in the community dock park area, neighbors & friends can still see the remnants of historic brick kiln houses submerged in the ground, as well as artifact bricks scattered across the property & along the riverbank.
