Manigault, Margaret Izard, 1768-1824

Margart Izard Manigault was the daughter of Ralph Izard of Charleston, S.C., and Alice de Lancey of New York. Because of her family's wealth and status, she spent much of her youth in France, where she was educated. She married Gabriel Manigault, a Charleston planter, in 1785, and had twelve children, most of whom predeceased her. Like many South Carolinians, the Manigaults spent the summers in New York and Philadelphia. The Manigaults moved to New York permanently in 1805 but later settled in Philadelphia, where they lived both in town and at "Clifton," a country estate on the Delaware River near Bristol.
