    1. [SCYORK-L] Meeks Hill location
    2. Louise Pettus
    3. I cannot give you a precise location but know that Meeks Hill was in the central part of the county. I think a bit southwest of Yorkville. SC statute under the constitution of 1785 required new counties to locate their county seats in the center of the counties and York was in that group of counties. So, think of Yorkville as in the center of the county. Louise Pettus PS: Most of the 1860 locations which were polling places no longer exist but have been subsumed by townships. And, by the way, the taker of the census could not spell. "Tersey" should be Tirzah and it should be Coates' Tavern.
