Description:
Orig. pub. Raleigh NC 1890. Reprinted 1973. Print on Demand Edition 2021. (ii), (iv), 242 pp. Gen. Hugh Waddell was a leading colonial and military official in North Carolina during the French and Indian War. This book, written by his great-grandson, Alfred Moore Waddell, gives much detail of his activities during the progress of the French and Indian War in the Southern colonies. While concentrating on North Carolina, there is information on his involvement in Virginia and South Carolina as well. His important role in resisting the landing of stamps during the Stamp Act crisis in 1765 is described in full. He also took part in leading troops against the Regulators but then later was critical of Governor Tryon for his harsh treatment in dealing with the rebels. Waddell died at an early age but he is still an important figure for his pre-Revolutionary activities. He was born in Lisburn, County Down, Ireland, the son of Hugh and Isabella Brown Waddell, both of Scots-Irish ancestry. He married Mary…

Description:
Orig. pub. Spartanburg, SC 1928. Reprinted 1993. Print on Demand Edition 2018. (ii), 296 pp., frontis., new index Among the early settlers of Spartanburg County was the Wofford family. Some years prior to the Revolution, five brothers - William, Joseph, James, John, and Benjamin - came from Maryland and settled on the Tyger River in lower Spartanburg County. This history begins with excerpts from the minutes of the Wofford Memorial Association (1893-1914). Among those excerpts are historical sketches of the five brothers. Members of the Wofford family later migrated from Spartanburg County and are found in Tennessee, Mississippi, Missouri, Louisiana, Georgia, and Texas. The Rev. Benjamin Wofford, son of Capt. Joseph and Martha Llewellyn Wofford, who left $100,000 in 1850 to found Wofford College commands considerable treatment throughout the book. The early years of the college are also discussed. Brief sketches of other members of the family and their descendants include: Joseph Llewellyn Wofford,…

Description:
Orig. pub. Spartanburg 1940. Reprinted 1976. Print on Demand Edition 2010. 338 pp., illus., index This book presents the history of Spartanburg County as compiled and written by the Spartanburg Unit of the WPA Writers' Program. Members of the project, under the editorship of Fronde Kennedy, researched courthouse records, newspaper files, and other sources for information on the affairs of city and county. An account of the formation of the Spartan Regiment, the Revolutionary battles in the county, and the stubborn resistance of Upcountry partisans to British and Tory dominance serves as an introduction to a balanced history which focuses more on events than individuals. The development of the county is covered under the following headings: the making of Spartan County; Spartan District, 1800-1825; the courthouse village; the old iron district; looms and spindles; doctrines and dogmas; schools and learning; the prosperous fifties; social life in the old days; secession and war years; political…

Description:
Orig. pub. Columbia 1941. Reprinted 1975, 1992. Print on Demand Edition 2009. 160 pp., map Many people and diverse factors have entered into the making of South Carolina and have left their imprint on her place names, giving wide variety and strong individuality to the titles of cities, towns, plantations, islands, mountains, and streams. This volume, originally compiled by the WPA, explores the history of many of those names. Many towns are named for places in England; others bear Spanish, French, German, or Indian names. Some names show the influence of the surrounding flora and fauna, others honor families of importance, and others point to geographical features. Some are whimsical - Round O, Hell Hole Swamp, Devil's Woodyard, and Granny's Quarter Creek.
