William Ancrum
William Ancrum (ca. 1722 - February 24, 1808) was a wealthy American merchant and indigo planter from Charleston, South Carolina who served in the Third General Assembly during the Revolutionary War (1779 - 1780). His interest in the economic potential of the Carolina backcountry led to his involvement in the formation of the present-day town of Camden, South Carolina. Of particular value to historians are the ''William Ancrum Papers, 1757-1789'', which are made up of Ancrum's letters and personal account books, currently held by the South Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina.〔http://library.sc.edu/digital/collections/ancrum.html〕 This collection provides insight into the economic impact of the American Revolution on Charleston planters and merchants, from the prices of slaves to restrictions on imports and exports.
==Early life and education==
He was born the oldest of five siblings in 1722 in Northumberland, England.〔Charleston Courier, (Charleston, S.C.) February 29, 1808. Vol. VI, Issue 1584, pg. 3.〕 Ancrum received his early education in the Northumbrian village of Wooler, after which he went to London for a short period before leaving for South Carolina. By 1753 (possibly earlier) he had emigrated directly to Charleston, where on May 8 of that year he was admitted as a member of the South Carolina Society.〔Amendments to the Rules of the South Carolina Society.
