About Elizabeth DeSaussure

Henry & Eliza de Saussure had 12 children.

Their second son, William F. De Saussure, was appointed to fill an unexpired term in the United States Senate in 1852. It was the same seat held by John C. Calhoun. Despite Henry de Saussure's early political association with the Federalist Party and later support of Unionist candidates in opposition to the Nullification movement, most notably Joel Roberts Poinsett, his son William Ford De Saussure would become a signer of the Ordinance of Secession in 1860.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Mar 3 2020, 23:49:49 UTC
