He fought in the American Revolutionary War and was one of the youngest members to the Constitutional Convention and a signer of the the United States Constitution. He was also a planter and slaveholder, and had many estates that relied on slave labor across South Carolina. In addition, he served as the 37th governor of South Carolina. Pinckney was first cousin once removed of fellow signer Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
