Wow, this puts an new light on colonial grants. I did not realize how deep the 'county' went into the upcountry. Thank you.

According to maps shown on my South Carolina Will Books, old Granville County was more or less located in Beaufort, Port Royal and what is now Frogmore, Longwood and Hunting Island State Park.

Great Rockey Creek is the same as Rocky River in western Abbeville County.

SC Artisans & Mechancis Database Search

Wade_Fairey — 2009-03-19 20:20:11Z

To lovers of local history:

This 28 year project was created to collect data on individuals who worked in SC between 1750-1866. Of particular interest are artisans who served as a; carpenter, mechanic, stone or brick mason/cutter, plasterer, brick maker, blacksmith, hewer, joiner, staircase builder, or those who built doors, windows, and mantles. As of 2009, over 13,500 persons and companies are listed in the collection. Each of our counties was highly influential and wealthy during the period and has left great histories. I know that there are architectural examples remaining and data of importance that would be useful in documenting artisans from each county and surrounding area. The database collects basic facts; names, dates, locations, birth/death dates, examples of their work, etc. Census data has already been posted but additions/corrections are welcome as are your questions. If you know of someone in your circle that may also have this type of data, please share.

One source of data is church histories that tell who, when and for how much the house of worship was constructed. Just send the information in a written text and we will be sure to credit it appropriately and share as requested. Don't assume anything we need your assistance if all of SC is to be given ample recognition. And remember to provide birth and death dates if they are available.

Respectfully, W.B. Fairey, Administrator

Great Rockey Creek

blanche199 — 2008-12-13 21:50:58Z

I have a Charleston, SC deed from David Joanes to Olivr Wallace, dated 16 Sep 1773, that states: "a certain plantation or tract of Land in Granvile [sic] County one hundred acres Lying and being on great Rockey Creek bounded on the south by [sd?] Creek and all other sides by vacant land ..."

Does anyone know why this area would still be referred to as Granville County when it was discontinued in 1769?

Does anyone know the geographic location of "Great Rockey Creek" in the old Granville County, SC?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

I'm looking for any information on a James Fox (wife Margaret) or other family members. James was appointed Naval Officer for South Carolina and arrived in Charleston in 1726. His will was filed in Granville County in 1755, so I'm guessing he moved there at some point. I'm looking for any Cherokee connection. He made a documented visit to the Cherokee in 1739.
