************
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

*******
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.
