I have no additional information.Just wanted to share this with you. Excerpts from Marion SC Newspaper...Winnette SCMAR, Vol. XIII, Spring 1985, No. 2, p.76 Until the Treaty of Augusta was signed in November of 1763, there had been no formal regulations for the protection of Catawba Tribal rights. The Treaty established an area of 15 miles square located in the present South Carolina counties of York, Chester and Lancaster. A small section of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina was also included. Following a survey by Samuel Wyly 1763-1764, all white settlers were ordered off the land. Through this ruling, we are able to assume that enough white people lived on Indian Land to create a need for action. Despite the efforts of the Colonial Government, many settlers either remained on the land or returned quite soon. SCMAR, Vol. XIII, Spring 1985, No. 2, p.76 By 1840, the area was thickly settled with white families and property ownership was a tangled maze of multiple leases. The Catawba Nation had few Tribal members residing on Indian Land. Through the Treaty of Nation's Ford, the rights to the land were assumed by the State of South Carolina. To-day, possession of this land, which now includes the population centers of Rock Hill and Fort Mill, is being contested through legal action brought by interests of the Catawba Nation. SCMAR, Vol. XIII, Fall 1985, No. 4, p.213 Long before the white man discovered the beauty and the riches of upper South Carolina, the Cherokees had lived there, claiming its streams and forests as their own, and making their home in its confines. Then adventuous souls found the land a pleasant place to live, and the Indians were at first friendly. Traders came to follow the adventurers, and then permanent settlers came to make this their home. And there were changes. The first few settlers were followed by their friends and relatives, and communites began to develop even before the Revolution. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
