Samuel Prioleau was the twenty-sixth mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, serving from 1824 to 1825.
The Prioleaus were a prominent South Carolina planter family of French Huguenot descent.[1] In 1820, Prioleau was elected to serve as a representative in the South Carolina House of Representatives for Charleston.[2] He was well suited for service on the Judiciary Committee given his legal training.[3] In 1825, he was made Recorder of the City by the City Council of Charleston.[4]
His son, Charles K. Prioleau, was a cotton merchant who became the primary financial agent for the Confederacy in England during the American Civil War.[5]
