ISAAC STOCKTON KEITH LEGARÉ, the twelfth of thirteen children of Thomas and Ann Eliza (Berwick) Legaré, was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on December 24, 1808. He graduated Yale College in 1831, and studied theology at Columbia (South Carolina) Theological Seminary. He served many years as pastor of a Presbyterian church in Orangeburg, but due to his failing voice, he resigned in 1848, and established the Orangburg Female College. This school was very successful until the Civil War. After the war, Mr. Legaré was employed by the American Sunday School Union, until he gave up working because of his health in the spring of 1874. He died of paralysis on July 29, 1874, on his farm near Orangeburg, South Carolina.
He married first Miss Emma C. Matthews, and they had two sons and a daughter. After her death, he married Miss Eliza C. Palmer, an adopted daughter of Hon. Richard Yeadon. She and an infant daughter survived him.
