Thomas Roper (1760-1829) was the tenth intendent (mayor) of Charleston, South Carolina, serving two terms between 1799 and 1801. As mayor of Charleston, he was influential in the move to build a chapel at the Charleston Orphan House; it was completed in 1801. He died on April 15, 1829, and is buried in the graveyard at St. Philips in Charleston, South Carolina.[1] Because his only son died without an heir in 1845, Col. Roper's real estate on East Battery and Queen Streets (worth $30,000) passed to the Medical Society of South Carolina.[2] Roper Hospital is named in his honor.[3]
