It has always perplexed me why the founding fathers chose Charles Cotesworth Pinckney as the namesake of our town. The dude wore knickers and a gray wig. He obviously got his ass whipped every time the afternoon school bell pealed. Anyone named Pinckney alone deserved a good playground thumping. Add Cotesworth to the mix and you are lunchmeat.
There is no historical documentation about why we have Pinckney as our town moniker, but a little is known about the fancy pants dandy whose name our town bears.
