What makes this property unique

After immigrating from Germany in 1842, Mary Margaret Fuessel Riley (1841-1912) began a position as the governess with the Black Swamp plantation near Robertsville, SC. While there, she acquired provisions and became acquainted with Thomas Jefferson Riley, who worked at a local mercantile store. The two married in 1856 and set up their own general store and sawmill near Brighton, SC.

When the War of Northern Aggression broke out in 1861, Mr. Riley enlisted and was assigned to Fort McAlister. When Sherman’s army came down the peninsula to access Fort Pulaski, Riley’s picket was overtaken and he was wounded and captured, the only survivor of his picket. As Savannah was delivered to Lincoln as a Christmas present, Riley was taken to the cold island prison at Fort Delaware.

At the age of 24, Mary Margaret was running the store, the sawmill and raising two young daughters when she learned of her husband’s capture. She surmised that the Union troops would travel north to Columbia, destroying everything along the way, so she hid the sawmill blade in the Black Swamp. When the Union troops came to burn her house, she informed them that she had two brothers fighting for the North; they put out the fire and she made them lunch. She then packed up her daughters and gained passage from Hilton Head Island to Washington, DC.

In those days, anyone could gain access to the president by waiting in the lobby of the White House. In her meeting with Lincoln, her youngest daughter, Catherine, sat on Lincoln’s knee while she presented her case. She pledged that, if released, he would not raise a hand against the Union. Lincoln granted a release.

As the South rebuilt, Riley’s store and sawmill prospered, and Mr. Riley had recovered from his wounds well enough to father another daughter and a son. After he passed, Mary Margaret continued to run the business, and even was arrested for attempting to repossess her own logging steamer (women could not own such property at the time).
