Everything about William Rhett totally explained
Colonel William Rhett moved to
South Carolina in 1698. He soon became successful and gained a high rank and social status as a colonial leader. In 1706 it was Rhett who commanded a flotilla that fought off a Franco-Spanish attack on
Charleston. He is perhaps best known for his capture of the infamous Major
Stede Bonnet, the so-called 'gentleman pirate', but he missed out on capturing the more notorious
Blackbeard. He soon acquired a sugar plantation and in 1716 had finished work on his new house, which still stands proud in its original location. It has been restored and is now privately owned.
A descendant was
Robert Rhett.
