There was no one "founder" of Charleston, SC. What happened was that Charles II of England granted the chartered Province of Carolina to the Lords Proprietors who were his loyal friends. That was in 1663. In 1670, the first settlement was arranged for and committed, and Charles Towne was established by several shiploads of settlers from Bermuda under the govenor William Sayle. They first settled on Charles Towne Landing (Albemarle Point), but after looking around they moved to Oyster Point (the Ashley-Cooper penisula) in 1680
