That didn't occur to me, though I've certainly seen a *lot* of land records that were obviously filed *years* after the transaction actually occurred. btw, there are Honeycutt families in Jackson Co., NC, that may have come from what's now Oconee County. The earliest one I've found arrived before 1852, but I don't know exactly who or when: I do know that one of the daughters, Dicey, married Andrew Jackson Cogdill. (They were the parents of my paternal grandmother's (Virginia Snyder (Mrs. L.R. Whitaker)) maternal grandmother, Mary Ann Cogdill (Mrs. William A. Clayton).) Jackson County borders on Georgia and comes *very* close to bordering on South Carolina. There was apparently a great deal of trade between Jackson Co. and Walhalla in the late 19th century.
