Woodlawn is generally the area between the old Mccormick hwy, now S.C. 10 (Maxwell Avenue) after it passes through Connie Maxwell, and the new Abbeville Highway. Specifically, the Woodlawn Road turns left off the Abbeville Highway just before you get to the old Jones Place -- and just after you pass the right turn to the Old Abbeville Road at the Copper Kettle. It is now called Chinquapin Road, and about 3 miles out that road the first subdivision, Chinquapin, was built. i believe the exact location of the old Woodlawn School was at the intersection of Woodlawn and Tranquil Road, which runs from Maxwelton (Hwy. 10) to the Abbeville Highway and then follows some old road tracks on over toward the Deadfalls. The old airport, a landing strip, was on Woodlawn Road. Westgate amd some other subdivisions are there now. we lived on "Massengill Hill" on Sunset Drive -- when we first moved out there (1950) the cow-path, set off by barbed wire, ran behind the few houses that had been built so I believe it was the Waites' and Stevenson's cows could be driven down to Curltail Creek, which we called "three hills over". Who were your grandparents? Maybe I can help you pin this down better. The last time we were home, we drove out that way, and it appears to be ALL HOUSING NOW. I remember the Becks, the Halls, the Faulkners but it would take some real head-scratching to come up with any more. "The top of my head" isn't as broad as it used to be, so there isn't as much room for stuff. Annie
