Mazyckborough and Mazyck Lands

Joseph Purcell laid out Mazyckborough for Alexander Mazyck in 1786. it was bounded by Chapel, Elizabeth and Calhoun streets and the Cooper River. Beginning in 1766 Christopher Gadsen and the Mechanicks party who called themselves the 'Sons of Liberty' met under the live oak tree many times to oppose the policies of Great Britain toward the colonies. The British cut down the oak tree to prevent it becoming a Patriot Shrine.  Mazyck Lands this area bounded generally by the present day streets of Broad, Legare, Queen, Archdale, Beaufain and Smith, was granted to James Moore in 1698 and conveyed by the trustees of his will to Isaac Mazyck in 1712. In 1742 the Mazyck Lands were partitioned amoung the heirs of Isaac Mazyck and lots were surveyed and offered for sale.    Come Join the Facebook page at Whispers of Charleston : https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/  Follow the Instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ==  Come Join the Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/  Subscribe, Like, and Share the videos: www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston  Join the Patreon Family : https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
