- "Daniel Heyward....settled one of his father's 500 acre grants in Granville County and almost immediately became a successful rice and indigo planter. Through the years by grant and purchase he acquired over 17,000 acres of land, a store at Cook's Landing on Oktee Creek, three lots and a house in Beaufort, and a house and lot in Charleston. Heyward made Old House, a 746 1/2-acre plantation on Hazzard's Creek in St. Helena Parish, his home....
"Heyward had had no formal education above the grammar school level, but he saw to it that his two eldest sons received an English education. In 1768 the College of Heraldry granted Heyward the right to use the Heyward coad of arms--one of the few authentic grants in South Carolina.
"Heyward filled a few local offices but was not very active in politics. Among his offices were commissioner, to build a bridge over Coosawhatchie Creek (1750); captain (1750) and lieutenant colonel (1757) in the militia and justice of the peace for Granville County (1756); commissioner to establish a ferry on the Savannah River (1762); churchwarden (1765-1766) and vestryman (1773 - 1774 for St. Helena Parish; and commissioner to create the parish of St. Luke (1767)....He took no active part in the Revolution."
