Winyah is in Georgetown County. There is a large bay there where the Pee Dee, Black, Waccamaw, and Sampit Rivers come together and "form the Atlantic Ocean." (A little joke that I have heard said.) There was a tribe of Indians called the Winyahs. Cindy >>> <Aadonis5@cs.com> 02/29/00 09:53PM >>> Ok. I hope I have the right list now. Does anyone know anything about Winyan county? I found it in the 1800 census index. One of my cousins said they know of a winyan city between Charltes and myrtle beach. Is this the same area? Has the name Winyan as the county changed? If so what is the new name? I've noticed a very large population of blacks owned by whites with one of our family names in that county. Any info would be appreciated.
