Henry Middleton was born near Charleston, Province of South Carolina, to Arthur Middleton (1681–1737) and Susan Amory, on the family plantation, "The Oaks". His father was a wealthy planter who had served as an acting governor of South Carolina. Henry was probably educated in England before returning to South Carolina to inherit his father's plantation.
