My sister-in-law found a site with some really good maps of South Carolina from 1683 through 1941. Just click on the thumbnail of the map you wish to view, and then to zoom in, click on the section of the map you wish to enlarge. We found our Risener land holdings this way. They were on 26 mile Creek and Little Beaverdam. -----Original Message----- From: Maryellen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 2004 8:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SC-OPD] Districts and counties in SC To Quote Wilma's site: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Districts and Counties, 1785 The 1785 act gave the Cheraws District the counties of Chesterfield, Marlboro, and Darlington; it divided Camden District into York, Chester, Fairfield, Lancaster, Richland, Claremont, and Clarendon counties. It gave Ninety-Six District the counties of Spartanburg, Union, Laurens, Newberry, Abbeville, and Edgefield. And it divided Orangeburg District into Orange, Lewisburg, Lexington, and Winton counties. Thus I have mixed Old Pendleton with Old 96. Maryellen ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wilma C.
