A John Conn received a land grant to 500 ac. on the Great Pee Dee River in 1734 (present day Georgetown Co.). By will dtd 29 Nov 1758 he bequeathed half of the land to his son Thomas Conn and the other half to his grandsons John Conn of Harvard and John Gregg of Groton, Mass. Thomas Conn and his wife Mary (of Prince George Parish) sold the land in 1767 to Samuel Grier. It is my understanding that there was a Conn family in old Darlington district but I know nothing about them.

Thanks for the info - that certainly makes lots of sense! And it fits with some of the things I have heard about what they did when they got to GA and FL.

After Florida became a state in 1845, there was lots of land available for purchase, pretty cheaply, and the politics of Florida between 1845 up until 1860 leaned more and more toward South Carolina's secessionist policy. Most of the Indians had been chased out of the state or down to the Everglades. Cotton became a huge new agricultural prospect for the state with the center of cotton planting and slave holdings in the north central part of the state, between the Apalachicola and the Suwannee rivers. Further south in Florida was still a "new frontier", always a draw to those seeking their fortune. Florida must have seemed familiar to those from South Carolina, yet still full of cheap land and adventure. (And still is seen that way, today.)

Have you received any information in response to your question below? I have some ancestors who left, went to GA, then to FL. I don't know why they left SC. They left GA after Sherman burned everything they owned. If you learn anything, I would love to know it! I will pass along anything I learn!
