Biography

Mary Baker William's father was John Williams, a wealthy landowner, Justice of the Peace and member of the Assembly and her mother was Mary Baker. Since she was the only daughter of John and Mary Williams, she was the heiress of John Williams' estate. She married Henry Middleton in 1741. Mary's dowry included the house and plantation that they named Middleton Place. Most of Middleton Place was destroyed by Union soldiers during the Civil War. All that remains are its vast gardens and a guest wing.

Mary Baker (Williams) Middleton was the mother of several children including Arthur, Thomas, Hester, Sarah, Mary, Susannah and Henrietta Middleton. It is her tomb that forms the top of the Middleton Mausoleum.

Information about Mary Baker (Williams) Middleton can be found in "The Thomas Pinckney Family of South Carolina" in volume 39 of The South Carolina Genealogical and Historical Magazine in January 1938 at pages 15 to 35.
