Thomson Hutchinson gardens Abbeville, SC Jehu Foster Marshall

Tour of Gardens

The Garden Tours are Saturday April 12th from 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM.

Jehu Foster Marshall

Robertson-Hutchinson Garden

509 North Main Street

Mrs. May Hutchinson’s Garden will be on tour Saturday from 1 until 5 during the Abbeville French Heritage Festival. The 15 ft fountain built in the early 1800’s was restored recently. The garden is filled with flowering azaleas, magnolias and dogwoods. The redwood tree is a site to see. It is over 115 ft tall. Do not miss the small head stone marking the special family cats resting place.

Soon after J. Foster Marshall purchased 12 acres of land on North Main Street c. 1846, the front garden fountain began to take shape. Marshall was considered a sophisticated landscaper with plants, both exotic and otherwise, that were becoming readily available from Pomaria Nurseries near Newberry, South Carolina. Marshall's landscaping efforts were interrupted by the Mexican War as he served in the Palmetto Regiment.

Upon his return from the war, the landscaping started up again in earnest. It was during this period that we must assume, that the giant redwood [Sequoia Sempervirens] was planted. Boxwoods were planted in neat parterres, as well as magnolias, both bays and grandifloras.

By 1857, Marshall had the assistance of the Rev. Benjamin Johnson, rector of Trinity Episcopal Church in Abbeville who was also a landscaper.Existing records of the nursery show that Marshall ordered plants frequently. It was in these years that a 15 foot fountain [now being restored] was added to the south garden. Marshall's wife Elizabeth DeBruhl Marshall designed
many of the geometric walkways. After Col Marshall's death in 1862 she managed their vast holdings, plantations, and the house and gardens until her death in 1868. Elizabeth was the daughter of Jesse DeBruhl who built the DeBruhl Marshall House in Columbia.

This property came into the Robertson family in 1872 and additions were made to the garden at that time. Eugenia Robertson Baskin added azaleas and tended the garden lovingly until her death.Her daughter, May Robertson Baskin Hutchinson, the present owner, is now the caretaker and her daughters Jean Robertson Hutchinson and Ann Hutchinson Waigand who played in the garden on summer visits now carry on the tradition of coming home to work in the garden.

Jehu Marshall landscaping Abbeville Grounds

From Abbeville, South Carolina to the U.S. Capitol:
Discovering, and Authenticating, an Historic Treasure Trove in Your (Front) Yard
Themes:
Recognizing: Documenting Local History and National Relevance Protecting: Restoration and Long-Term Stewardship
This session explores the discovery of the largest-known private collection of Janes, Beebe and Company cast iron garden ornaments still in existence, and the research that led to its authentication. Janes, Beebe and Company is significant as the foundry that cast the dome of the U.S. Capitol building. The 14-foot-tall cast iron fountain in the yard of the Robertson-Hutchinson House, Abbeville, South Carolina is only the fifth extant Janes-Beebe fountain to be found in the United States and shares the distinction, with the Forsyth Park fountain in Savannah, of being the oldest remaining example of the company’s decorative fountains.
The grounds of the Robertson-Hutchinson house in Abbeville, South Carolina were landscaped between 1848 and 1861 by Colonel Jehu Foster Marshall. Marshall purchased 12 acres in the middle of the village of Abbeville in late 1847, built a house, and began arranging for the landscaping of the gardens, a process that continued throughout the 1850s. The decorative cast iron he purchased, and which remains on the grounds, includes: Two greyhound dogs, two large urns, a settee (which bears the Janes, Beebe mark), a chair and the bottom halves of two additional chairs, and the basin from an additional smaller fountain.The design of the sculpture on top of the fountain (two distinctive figures with dragon heads, voluptuous female bodies, wings, and entwined mermaid or fish tails) has been traced to the French foundry of J.J. Ducel. Janes, Beebe is known to have sent a representative to the Crystal Palace Exhibition in London in 1851, to get ideas and patterns for decorative ironwork, and Ducel exhibited his decorative ironwork there.
The gardens--which were described in a reminiscence: “In all my travels throughout the world, not excepting the famous gardens of Versailles, have I seen anything to equal it" --were planted with specimens purchased from Summers Nursery in Pomaria, South Carolina. Still standing beside the fountain is the redwood tree Marshall planted, now recorded as the oldest and tallest redwood tree in South Carolina (and, possibly, the oldest and tallest east of the Mississippi).
This is a tale of dogged research that travels from the little village of Abbeville in the 1850s to the contentious political seas in Washington, DC in the decade prior to the Civil War to London’s Crystal Palace Exhibition of 1851 to the iron foundry in France that cast the Bartholdi Fountain (U.S. Botanic Garden) to the White House, New York’s Central Park, and Cusco, Peru. Along the way, there are: A serendipitous meeting in the streets of Capitol Hill (Washington, DC), a box of unexplored documents, and the stitching together of a family history which ends up connecting Abbeville to Starbucks, the Paris Metro, and the very origins of decorative cast ironwork.

The session is enhanced by archival photos of the fountain (1885 to the present), as well as photos documenting the restoration process; images from the 1855/58 catalogs of Janes, Beebe and Company and the 1850 catalog of the French foundry of J.J. Ducel; copies of historical documents relating to the ironwork and gardens; and a bibliography of sources.
The presenter is Ann Hutchinson Waigand, whose great-grandmother purchased the house (with cast iron garden ornaments) from the estate of J. Foster Marshall and whose mother is the fourth generation of her family to live in the house. The presentation will also discuss the long-term stewardship of the house and grounds by the Robertson family and its descendants as well as the house’s tradition of passing down through the female line (a tradition that will continue through Waigand and her sister, Jean Robertson Hutchinson, and on to Waigand’s two daughters).
Ann Hutchinson Waigand is an independent researcher, editor, and freelance writer who contributed a column to the New York Times Syndicate for five years. She has worked as a developmental editor with The Teaching Company, coaching professors in presenting recorded courses, and spent 20 years in the field of educational and cultural tourism, working with a diverse range of clients including the Smithsonian Institution and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
May Robertson Baskin Hutchinson will participate in the question-and-answer session. The fourth generation of her family to live on the property in Abbeville (she sleeps in the bedroom in which she was born), she is responsible for the restoration of the house and fountain. She served on the Executive Council of the Confederation of South Carolina Historical Societies and as Vice Chairman on the Commission to Implement Abbeville”s Historic Properties Protection Ordinance at its inception; co-founded HATS, the Historic Abbeville Tour Service; wrote the Fitness Walk Tour of Historic Abbeville; was Project Manager for two grants to restore the McGowan-Barksdale-Bundy House; was curator for the Abbeville Historical Society’s headquarters for nine years; originated and led Erskine College’s/Abbeville’s Elderhostel (1987-94) focusing on Abbeville County history and Victorian decorative arts; and is Curator for the Abbeville County Museum.

Jehu Foster Marshall and wife Elizabeth DeBruhl Marshall

Southern Sentinel Jehu Foster Marshall

E. C. Sanford

Jehu Foster Marshall of Ocala was a supplier of goods, including

whiskey and sugar to the Confederacy. His plantation was a major supplier of sugar until the end of the war when Federal troops overran the plantation and burned or destroyed the sugar mill and all the production. Marshall shipped his goods by way of Col. Hubbart I Hart’s HARTLINE STEAMBOAT LINE, on Hart’s, James Burt, and Capt. Richard J Adams Silver Springs plantation. Marshall’s plantation was raided on March 10, 1865 by the 3^rd Union Colored Infantry, led by Sgt. Major Henry James. The raid was repelled by Capt. J J Dickinson (“Florida’s Swamp Fox”), which ended all Union presence in Marion County Florida, and along the Oklawaha River. April 2, 1865, Richmond fell Jefferson Davis and his wife’s property was seized, May 1865, at David Yulee’s Cottonwood Plantation near Gainesville at a place called Irwinville, Ga. Lola Sanchez, Confederate spy, was a resident of Union occupied Palatka, who provided information to both Hart and Dickinson during the war and was paid in Mexican silver dollars in May 1865. Elizabeth DeBruhl Marshall operated the sugar plantation until it was destroyed in 1865. Elizabeth DeBruhl Marshall

lost her 17 year old brother William Jesse to a hunting accident, her father

Jesse DeBruhl was killed when a tree fell on him in 1860 in Columbia County Florida where he was clearing land on another of his several plantations. Her husband Jehu Foster Marshall was killed in 1863 at the battle of Second Manasses. Her father- in- law Dr. Marshall of Abbeville owner of White Hall plantation died soon after the end of the war. He divided up his 3,760 acre plantation among his slaves. Many of their descendants still live on the land. When Jefferson Davis's party was fleeing south with the Confederate cabinet and the treasury they stopped twice in Abbeville once at White Hall plantation. The treasury then went to Washington Ga, from there into legend. It has never been found or recovered. Jefferson Davis and his party were captured by Union cavalry but they only had a few dollars in gold on them. Jehu Foster Marshall had a sugar plantation in Ocala

Florida where he shipped goods by steamboat. It was rumored that Breckenridge hired a boat and took the remaining treasury to Cuba.

Judah P. Benjamin was rumored to have taken a large portion of the treasury

to England. He lived out his life in England.

All that is really known is it was loaded on a train in Richmond guarded
by a detachment of the Confederate Navy. The Federal government
owned the contents the moment Lee surrendered. Nobody guarding
the treasury had any incentive to turn it over to the Feds. As long as
they were on the train the weight of the gold and coins weren't a
problem
but when they de- trained with all that weight then they needed wagons
and horses which were at a premium. The only "friends" were recently
paroled
Confederate Calvary roaming throughout. The Federal Calvary was hot on
the trail looking for old Jeff Davis. If the Feds took the treasury they found
with Jeff Davis's party then they weren't talking. If the treasury was robbed
by bands of ex confederate Calvary they weren't talking either. This leaves
the "honest" ex navy guards who could have simply drove the wagons away
never to be seen and divided up the spoils. The interesting part of the flight
was the return to the Marshall plantation the second time when the Federal
Calvary was pressing too close. It is probably buried under lake Norman
or Lake Marion or some Interstate highway fill.

William Ashley DeBruhl age 17 only son of William Jesse DeBruhl

Light went out so did a life. Another instance of what proved to be a forerunner of
death occurs to me.

William Ashley DeBruhl age 17, the only son of Mr. Jesse DeBruhl by his first wife, Eliza Donovan was killed while shooting bull-bats received a load of small shot in the head from a
gun in the hands of a young man named Bird, a very gentlemanly appearing stranger, (Mr. Bird introduced family painted oil-cloth table covers here-something new.) It was clearly an accident, but poor Bird was completely broken down by it. I was present when the shooting
occurred. We were boarding at the time at the Globe Hotel, kept by Mr. William Reeder and his wife, where the post office now stands. Fearful of worrying young DeBruhl's relatives by his appearing at the house , he engaged me to go twice a day to inquire about the wounded youngster. The patient seemed to be doing very well, although the physicians could see no hopes for his recovery. This was in the oil lamp days. One night while the solitary lamp in the sick room was apparently burning all right, it suddenly went out. Young DeBruhl noticed it,
turned to his mother and said quietly, " I know what that sign means-- goodbye", and died before the lamp could be relighted. Dr Samuel Fair, of Newberry SC who had graduated in Paris and lately begun the practice of medicine in Columbia, attended the young man, and afterwards married his sister. The grave is unmarked in the Presbyterian Church yard.

New York March 3*. 1766
Dear Sir,

I am very sorry to find by your Letter of the 20 th . of Feb r J\ 2 ,
that you are in Expectation of a fresh Attack of your old Dis-
order, which will prevent me having the Pleasure to see you so
soon as I could wish.

Major Rogers has got his Instructions from me, of which I
shall take an opportunity to transmit you a Copy, that you may be
a Judge of what it will be Necessary for you to direct him in your
orders to him relative to your Department.

I find the Virginians were Intent on bringing about the Peace
between the Northern Indians and the Cherokees, to prevent the
latter from taking Revenge for the Murders committed in Virginia
hopeing by Such a Material Service to gain their Friendship, for I
believe the Gov r . will not be able to give them the Satisfaction
they require, and seem to have a Right to demand.

The sooner M r . Croghan Sets out with the Person whom you
intend to nominate for Commissary at the Ilinois the better; it's
very proper they should be there as early as it is possible, and
what you shall Judge necessary for them you will inform me of
and it will be supplyed them immediately.

I will enquire whether there is any good Engravers at Phila-
delphia; the Dye in my Possession was done by one de Bruhls 3
who was reckoned the best in these Parts of the world.

There are Reports here by Letters from Pensacola that the
34 th . Reg f . had got up to the Ilinois; I hope it's true, as they
carried a large Quantity of Presents with them, and many other
things which Cap 1 . Stirling 4 was in need of.

Current region	Germany, United States, Sweden, Denmark, France, United Kingdom
Place of origin	Free State of Saxony, Holy Roman Empire
Distinctions	Imperial Count (European nobility)

Brühl (de Brüel, von Brühl) is the name of an old German noble family from Saxony-Thuringia, with their ancestral seat in Gangloffsömmern in Thuringia. Branches of the family still exist today.

With the era of Heinrich von Brühl during the 18th century, who indirectly controlled Saxony and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and thus was one of the most powerful persons in the Holy Roman Empire, the family was one of the most influential families in the world, and has been compared to the House of Medici, the Richelieu family, and the Rothschild family.[1]

One of the most important branches of the von Brühl family uses the spelling Brüel, and mainly resides in Denmark and Sweden.

History[edit]

Brühl Palace

Brühl's Stairs and Ständehaus

Brühl Estate in Nischwitz

Not much is known about the family's early history. They are first mentioned in 1344, with Heinrich aus dem Brühl. He is named as a ministerialis of the Counts of Hohnstein. The name Heinrich was later often still given to new members of the family.

Heinrich von Brühl (died 1446) owned the manor Wenigen-Tennstedt and is first mentioned in records in 1424. The familial line starts with him. His descendant Heinrich von Brühl acquired a manor at Gangloffsömmern in 1470, which became the family home.

In 1464 the manor of Pakosław (Greater Poland) was bought by one Johannes Brühl (senior), whose son Johannes Brühl (junior) left Poland for Saxony in 1496, with his wife Balice Banarowna, heiress of Oświęcim, accompanying the king's daughter, Barbara Jagiellon (later the wife of George, Duke of Saxony). The name Brühl-Oswiecino was still in use into the 18th century.

At the end of the 17th century the family seat was owned by the Oberhofmarschall and Wirklicher Geheimer Rat Hans Moritz von Brühl. His son was the well-known Heinrich von Brühl (1700–1763). From 1719 he served the court of the Electorate of Saxony, and progressed quickly through the favour of Augustus II the Strong. For almost two decades, Brühl was the most powerful man in the Electorate, as prime minister he indirectly controlled Saxony and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth . His fiscal policy, unchecked by a weak Duke, almost led Saxon to financial disaster, but made Brühl extremely wealthy. Like his three older brothers a year later, Heinrich von Brühl was made an Imperial Count in 1737.

The two youngest of the four brothers founded two lines, the older Saxonian line, starting with the Saxonian Landeshauptmann Friedrich Wilhelm von Brühl and a younger Saxonian-Prussian line, starting with prime minister Heinrich von Brühl. The older line retained possession of Gangloffsömmern, Forst, and Seifersdorf.

An offshoot started to use the name Brühl-Renard from 1909. It died out in the male line in 1923. The family today has many branches.

United Kingdom[edit]

Hans Moritz von Brühl (1736–1809), was the son of F. W. Graf von Brühl of Martinskirchen, who died in 1760, and nephew of Heinrich von Brühl. Born at Wiederau in the Electorate of Saxony, he studied at Leipzig, and there formed a close friendship with Christian Gellert, who corresponded with him for some years. At Paris, in 1755, Brühl, then in his nineteenth year, took an active part in Saxon diplomacy, and was summoned to Warsaw in 1759. He was named, through his uncle's influence, chamberlain and commandant in Thuringia, and in 1764 appointed ambassador extraordinary to the court of St. James's.

He loved astronomy and promoted its interests. Brühl helped determine, in 1785, the latitudes and longitudes of Brussels, Frankfort, Dresden, and Paris. Brühl built (probably in 1787) a small observatory at his villa at Harefield, and set up there, about 1794, a two-foot astronomical circle by Jesse Ramsden, one of the first instruments of the kind made in England. He was intimate with William Herschel, and transmitted news of discoveries abroad through Johann Elert Bode's Jahrbuch. He supported the advancement of chronometry, in the work of Thomas Mudge and Emery. He also gave attention to political economy, and made a tour through the remoter parts of England early in 1783 to investigate the state of trade and agriculture. "Count de Bruhl" was next to Philidor , Verdoni and George Atwood one of the greatest chess player of his time.[2]

He married, first, in 1767, Alicia Maria, dowager countess of Egremont, daughter of George Carpenter, 2nd Baron Carpenter, who died on 1 June 1794, leaving him a son and daughter; secondly, in 1796, Maria, daughter of General Christopher Chowne, who died in 1835. The family was thus joined with the British aristocracy and intellectual elite, and offspring went on to possess significant influence in the United Kingdom. For example, Lord Polwarth was Brühl's grandson.

Scandinavia[edit]

Second Belvedere

Georg Wilhelm de Brüel (von Brühl), was sent to Denmark in the late 18th century to an establish operational plan of the forests in the stock houses Krenkerup on Lolland. Brüel was greatly successful, creating a close relationship with the Danish king, and started spelling his name "Brüel".[3]

Wealth[edit]

The family achieved to accumulate remarkable wealth during the different reigns of their members, especially during the era of Heinrich von Brühl, whose fortune was sequestered but afterwards restored to the family. The inquiry showed that Brühl owed his immense fortune to the prodigality of the king rather than to unlawful means of accumulation.

Art & Architecture[edit]

The family's power was often beneficial to the arts and sciences. The family was a dedicated collector and protector of the arts. They owned a large gallery of pictures, which was bought by Empress Catherine II of Russia in 1768, and their library of 70,000 volumes was one the biggest private libraries in the Holy Roman Empire.

Brühl's glories refers to the, on the behalf of Heinrich von Brühl, on the Brühl Terrace in Dresden constructed buildings and collections. These include the Brühl Palace, the Brühl's library, the Brühl's Gallery, the Belvedere and the Brühl's garden.

Brühl's Terrace is known as the "Balcony of Europe", a name which was first thought up and used at the beginning of the 19th century and which since then has been used in all kinds of literature.

In Popular Culture[edit]

Numerous books and films has been made about the family and its members. "Saxony's shine and Prussia's Glory: Brühl the Great Career" and "Saxony's shine and Prussia's Glory: Brühl the War" (1985) was two parts of a six-part television film aired in Germany. Polish author Józef Ignacy Kraszewski immortalized the von Brühl family in two novels from the 1870s ("Count Brühl", "From the Seven Years' War").
