Dulles, Joseph H., 1795-1876
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania resident, nephew of Mrs. Anne Heatly Reid Lovell (1756-1834, Dulles's mother's sister) of St. Matthew's Parish, South Carolina. Lovell owned several plantations and managed her affairs independently of her husband. After Lovell's death in 1834 her 3,925 acre (according to an 1836 survey) plantation on Halfway Swamp and the Santee River, Good Hope (which had been purchased from Joseph Manigault), was left to her nephew Joseph Heatly Dulles. A grand niece, Rachel Susan Bee, also inherited an adjoining plantation, some of which was taken from Good Hope. After Bee's marriage her husband (a nephew of Dulles), John Cheves, planted cotton on both plantations for a number of years.
