Description

Hilton Head Island's Stoney-Baynard Ruins consist of the remnant of the tabby plantation house, the tabby foundations of two slave cabins, and the tabby chimney of the kitchen. 

History

Captain John "Saucy Jack" Stoney began construction of his house in 1793, as part of the Braddock Point Plantation that produced sea island cotton. William Edings Baynard purchased it in 1845, but the family fled when Union soldiers arrived in 1861. It burned in 1867.
