My grandmother came from just south of the Waxhaw area. The slaves belonging to her mother's parents hid the family's silver from Sherman's men.
My family was from the Pageland and Mt. Croghen, S.C. area (or what is left of Mt. Croghen after Sherman), I guess about 30 miles away. Do you still have family there?

Do you still have family there?My grandmother grew up on a farm a few miles north of Lancaster. This was back before automobiles became common. She remembered going to Lancaster maybe twice a year. She would go on a horse-drawn wagon when the family went for supplies.
I imagine I might have some second, third, or fourth cousins still in that area. I've been there a couple of times, visiting the old church cemetery and seeing the stone that marks the corner boundary of North Carolina and South Carolina.
