Charleston Portrait of Margaret Ann "Meta" Grimball

Item Details

Description

"Margaret Ann "Meta" Morris Grimball was born in 1810. She was the grandmother of the famous artists Meta Morris Grimball (1878-1968) who was with Gutmann and Gutmann NYC, she worked along side Bessie Pease Gutmann. Our next lot includes original works by her. Meta was a descendent of Lewis Morris, a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1830, she married John Berkley Grimball (1800-1892), who owned a rice plantation near Adam's Run, South Carolina. They had nine children, whom they brought up at the plantation and in Charleston. During the Civil War, the family sought safety in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The plantation was confiscated by federal troops but returned to the family in 1866. The Grimballs were unable to continue mortgage payments and lost the house in 1870. Meta died in 1881.Meta kept a diary before, during, and immediately after the Civil War. In it she records the major events of the day and their effect on her family's life.see link here to read the diary https://finding-aids.lib.unc.edu/00975/. Grimball juxtaposes common domestic concerns with larger issues related to the Civil War, including slavery, personal safety, and religion. The journal closes with an entry describing some of the family's hopeful plans for survival" from the Historic Charleston Foundation.
