The best place to look for land records is generally the county's land records office. (This goes by different names in different states: I don't live in North Carolina.) Also, the N.C. state archives would have microfilm of N.C. land records, and other libraries, such as the Mormons, may have copies of that microfilm (at least grantor and grantee indexes). I suggest you start looking for Chesterfield county, SC, resources, such as the Rootsweb list. I used to live on the other side of Chesterfield county and belonged to their gen. society for a while: there seem to be a lot of Hunters in that area. Anson county is near Chesterfield county. There are not any BLM records for the Carolinas. I know this because I used to work for BLM, and I asked. Elizabeth Whitaker
