Continental Army Brigadier General. Huger was from an aristocratic family, very wealthy and well placed. He received his early education in Europe and later pursued a career in military service, including many engagements against the Cherokee Indians. On June 17, 1775 he was appointed a lieutenant colonel of the First South Carolina Regiment which was then stationed at Fort Johnson on James Island, South Carolina. During the early part of the Revolutionary War he was promoted to Colonel and transferred to Georgia where he commanded a regiment in the attack on Savannah, Georgia. On January 9, 1779 Congress approved his promotion to Brigadier General, and until the capture of Charleston by the British he was in continuous service for the Continental Army in either South Carolina or Georgia. When General Nathaniel Greene took over command of the Southern Army Huger was chosen as his second in command. He commanded the Virginia troops at the battle of Guilford Courthouse, where he was severly wounded, and at Hobkirk's Hill he had the distinction of commanding the right wing of the army.
His place of burial has been reported that he died while crossing the Ashley River and was buried along it's banks, and the other in a private cemetery near Huger's Bridge, East Fork of the Cooper River.
