Colonel Arthur Peronneau Hayne (1788-1867) grew up in Charleston and was a hero of the War of 1812, being brevetted Lieut. Col. for gallant conduct at the Battle of New Orleans. He served in the Florida War as Commander of the Tennessee volunteers, then in the South Carolina House of Representatives before going as U.S. Naval agent in the Mediterranean for five years. in 1858 he was appointed to fill the vacant seat for South Carolina in the U.S. Senate. Edward Stiles Hayne (1850-67) was actually his great-nephew, grandson of the Colonel's brother Governor Robert Hayne.
