I have seen references to a Beech Hill Plantation located on the Savannah River in Beaufort County. http://south-carolina-plantations.com/beaufort/beech-hill.ht...

My ggfather John Zadolph Johnson b. 1840 is, according to legend, from Beech Hill, SC. Does anyone know the location of Beech Hill Plantation on the Savannah River? I'm aware of the Beech Hill Plantation near Summerville in Dorchester County

You might try Beech Island, near Augusta

Hi Frank,
Don't know if this will be helpful or not but this Freedmen's Bank record refers to a Beach Hill, SC:

Don't know of a modern place that corresponds to that name and would like to know if you learn more.
