I have to admit that I really know very little about genealogy but I am from Anderson county and was born in Iva. I was told that a local lawyer who is from Iva said it was called dark corners because of all the moonshining that went on in the area and when investigators (cops) went to check it out, they rarely came back. Also, Dark corners may possible border abbeville county since I think that Iva at some point borders the abbeville county line. My brother and I are not aware of a corners in Abbeville. I still have my grandmother and father in Iva. So if you have any questions, please let me know..by the way, I am a Kelley.

Dear SpecialK, I too am from Anderson. Major, McGregor, Liddell, Dean, Reeves, Sullivan, Patrick, Mattison, Wyatt, Swain, Maudlin, James and Watt. That pretty much makes me related to everyone sooner or later. But the one I want to find so much is Milly Kellys family. She married Pleasant Sullivan in 1796 in Greenville/Laurens. They moved to the edge of the Savannah River near Dooleys ferrys. What is your family Kelly back ground. Next I am looking for family of John Watt who was son of James and had Margaret jane Watt who married Kelly Sullivan.. Maybe someone in your family maybe able to give a clue. Thank you.
