    2. Phyllis Walton
    3. Steve, Hope this will help you with info about the Pee Dee Rivers. This came from http://www.sciway.net/hist/indians/peedee.html SC Location, Territory The Pee Dee River, about 435 miles long, rises as the Yadkin River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northwestern North Carolina and flows northeast then southeast to Winyah Bay, South Carolina. It is called the Yadkin for about 200 miles until it is joined by the Uwharrie River west of Troy, North Carolina. As the Pee Dee, it continues for another 230 miles. Traditional: Along the middle course of the Pee Dee River in Chesterfield and Marlboro counties Today: Headquartered in the Town of McColl, Marlboro County Related SC Names Great Pee Dee River - Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Georgetown, Horry, Marlboro, Marion, Williamsburg counties http://members.aol.com/Mmcbs3/peedee.html Little Pee Dee River arises in the northeast section of South Carolina near the town of McColl. It meanders down toward Dillon, SC and on down to east of Mullins, SC where it is joined by the Lumber River flowing down out of North Carolina. The two river converge and become just the Little Pee Dee until well south of Conway, SC where they join the Great Pee Dee and flow on down to Georgetown, SC where they enter Winyah Bay.

I find references to these waterways in land documentation in both early Rowan County, NC records and in early Anson County land records as well. Thank you.
