General Notes: Husband - Wade Hampton

---

After leaving school he began his business career at an early age in a general store at Warrenton, Vir­ginia. In 1831 he went to Philadelphia to learn the wholesale dry goods business, and in 1832 was sent to Steubenville, Ohio, to close up some important affairs for the Philadelphia house with which he was connected. On his return, after completing this business, he stopped at Pittsburgh, and being favorably impressed with the prospects of that thriving little city, determined to cast his lot there. Accordingly he embarked in the wholesale dry goods busi­ness on Wood street in partnership with George Plumer Smith. The firm of Hampton & Smith prospered, and Wade Hampton, while still a very young man, was recognized as a power in the business world. Later in life he engaged extensively in the petroleum trade, then in its infancy, being owner and part owner of several refineries, and largely inter­ested in the production of oil. In 1866 he retired from the oil business, being in that year appointed postmaster of Pittsburgh.
