• Witness to David Milling’s Charleston, South Carolina will in 1778 who also sold Milling “goods . . . for the use of the family and plantation.” 8 • Turner, worked at 80 Church Street, Charleston, South Carolina in 1790. 9 • Sick turner made a will in 1790 that was proved in 1791 in Charleston, South Carolina. 10 • “Lunatic” man drowned in a Charleston, South Carolina canal in 1791. 11 Another Andrew Redmond died in 1800 in Charleston according to his great- granddaughter’s DAR application. 12 Her great-grandfather was not the sick turner or the lunatic man.

Research on early American craftsmen by arts and crafts historians elaborated on Andrew Redmond’s occupation as a turner, concluding he also was a Windsor chairmaker and a maker of common chairs. 13 Eliza’s father married a widow whose late husband’s estate included a RIDING CHAIR .
