I think the time frame of 1775-81 is late for Indian massacre in SC. The Cherokee War was over in 1761 or there about. A little further south than York, on Rocky Creek in Chester District (actually either Craven or Camden-as I forget the dates of boundary and name changes) in the family of John McDonald, he and his wife were killed in August 1761 and their seven children carried off by the Indians. Captain Steele and a posse of neighbors rescued the children and killed the Indians. Earlier on Fishing Creek the Cherokees attacked the McKenny family, scalped Mrs. McKenny and tried to carry her off but she resisted. Raids most likely occurred in York also. Curtis
