Chapter Iii The Colonial Period

The early settlers of that section of South Carolina that was erected into Orangeburgh District in 1768, had many trials and hardships to undergo, such as all settlers in a new and unbroken country have to contend with. The country was infested with wild beasts, birds, and reptiles that were a constant menace either to the settlers or their agricultural interests; savage Indians were all about them, and frequently gave them much trouble; and, the seat of all government being at Charlestown, no officers of the law resided among them save the Rangers and a few justices of the peace, and from the number of advertisements that appeared in the Sontli Carolina Gazette from time to time, it would seem that the chief duty of the justices of tlie peace in those early days was the advertising of stray animals picked up.f There were

Carolina Gazette, March 26, 1753: "A Stray'd bay mare near 14 hands higli, witii some saddle spots, branded on tiie mounting shoulder 3M in one, and on the mounting buttock AH, taken up by J().s( ph Wood below Oratigehargh. The owner may have her again, making proper application to

In tiic Cazctti- of April 11, to 18, 17(i8, "Lewis Uolsay" (Golsan), ".J. I*.", advertises: ".John Staley informs of a yellow bay gelding" etc., and "Eliziibeth (xoisin, of :i small pyde hefTer" etc.; and on May i», 17(58, "Lewis Golsan, .1. I*.", advertises a stray horse picked up by Adam Whetstone. Again in the ihtzette of .July 4, 17()8, "Ijcwis (iolsan, .1. I*.", advertises "ii stray horse picked up by Jolni Amacker; two bull stags picked up by .laeolt Kooney", and "a stray borse picked up no courts of law in that section, but criminals had to be carried to Charlestown for trial, and the result of this was that few criminals were brought to trial for crimes committed in that section. But, fortunately, these people were a quiet, industrious people and crimes among them were few. This lack of proper criminal courts of trial led to what is known as "Regulation", in the upper country of South Carolina, in the period just prior to the Revolution, but there is no evidence to show that "Regulation" played any conby James Newton".

In the Gazette of Monday, August 8, 1768, several stray horses are advertised by "William Thomson, J. P., Amelia, July 28, 1768", as "picked up" b.y John Switman, Richard Switman, Ebenbard vSteventir, and Major Lloyd.

In the Gazette of Monday, Sept. 5, 1768, "Lewis Gonsan, J. P.", advertised strays "picked up" by Adam Brickel, Peter Imboden, John Starley, and Valentine Cronich. Golsan also advertised strays "l^icked up" by Joseph Cook and Henry Boshard, in the Gazette of Oct. 10, 1768.

In the Gazette of Thursday, January 26, 1769, Jacob Rumph advertised two hogs that he had taken up at Orangelnirgh, and John Fairchild advertised a stray liorse that had been "picked up" by Solomon Wood of the "Forks of the Edisto".

In the Gazette of March 23, 1769, William Thomson, T. M., of Amelia, advertised stray horses "picked up" by Henry Whetstone and George Kubler.

In the S. C. Gazette and Country Journal of June 13, 17()9, Philip Pearson, J. P., of Saxe-Gotha, gives notice of a number of stray animals "picked up".

"John Salley, senr. informs nie of a l>rif/ht txii/ Gelding, twelve hands high, five years old, a star on iiis forehead, branded on the mounting buttock S [], a trotter; also a hai/ Mar<\ near twelve hands high, four years old, branded on the mounting shouhler I '^^ a trotter; also a .strawherri/ roan Metre, near thirteen hands high, six years old, branded on the mounting shoulder and buttock K.

"In Council, 13^'» March 1769. It having appeared to his Excellency, and the Board, that Benjajiiin Farrar, and Barnabas Arthur, Eqrs. Justices of the Peace for this Province, had been instrumental in formenting and increasing the Disorders that prevailed among the People who stiled themselves REGULATORS in the Back Country: His Excellency, by the Advice of the Council was pleased to strike their Names out of the Commission of the Peace." Farrar and Arthur were both prominent citizens of Saxe- Gotha Township. While the chief seat of "Regulation" was higher up in the State, still there were some disturbances in Saxe-Gotha and Amelia Townships, hardly in Orangeburgh Township, or the section between the North Edisto and Savannah rivers.

The condition of the country embraced by the present county of Barnwell is given by Tarleton Brown in his "Memoirs". About the same conditions existed in the other parts of Orangeburgh District, so some extracts from the "Memoirs" will be given here. After stating that he had moved to South Carolina from Virginia with his parents and settled on Brier Creek, opposite to Burton's Ferry, in 1769, he goes on thus: "Having cleared a piece of land, we planted, and found the soil to be exceedingly fertile in the river swamp, producing abundant crops. The country was literally infested with wild beasts, which were very annoying to the inhabitants - killing the stock and destroying the crops - and were so bold, daring, a,nd ravenous, that they would come into our yards, and before our doors take our sheep and poultry. Indeed, it was dangerous to venture out at night beyond the l)ieciiicts of our yards unarmed. We used every de-

"The forest abounded with all kinds of game, parr ticularly deer and turkeys - the former were almost as gentle as cattle. I have seen fifty together, in a day's ride in the woods. The latter were innumerable, and so very fat that I have often run them down on horseback. The range for cattle was excellent; it was a very common thing to see two hundred in a gang in the large ponds. In any month in the year beeves in the finest order for butchering might be obtained from the forest. It was customary then to have large pens or enclosures for cattle under the particular charge or direction of some person or persons; I was informed by one of those who kept a pen at King Creek, that there had been marked that spring seven hundred calves. Our produce for market was beef, pork, staves, and shingles. There was but little corn planted in that section then; and, indeed, there was scarcely any inducement to plant more than sufficed for our own consumption, there being but few mills in the country, and consequently very little demand for the article.

"From the fact of the new and unsettled state of the country, it may readily be inferred that the roads were very inferior; in truth, they were not much better than common bridle paths; and I feel confident in asserting that there were not, in the whole Barnwell District,* any conveyances superior to carts of common wood slides. There were a great many wild horses running at large in the forest when we first settled in the district, a number of which were caught and sold by various individuals, who puisued exclusively the business for a livelihood.*"

The writer tells us of the cow-pens, situated in various parts of the district. One of these pens was situated upon the present Middlepen creek, and was the middle pen of the cattle raisers for a certain territory, and hence the name of the stream. Another of these pens was owned by Capt. John Salley, the writer's great great grand-father, but the family tradition has always been that it was his own pen, as he had thousands of acres of land and many cattle; and Mr. Brown speaks of it* as "Capt. Salley's 'Cowpens'" - doubtless a collection of pens at one spot. It is said that the spot on Dean Swamp whereon this pen stood is still so fertile as to show a marked difference between the crops planted there and those all around.

What Mr. Brown has said about the wild beasts in this section is confirmed by the traditions of many old people hereabouts. One old gentleman of this county relates that his elders have often told him of the troubles the early settlers had with beasts of prey. The settlers had to build their cow-pens and sheep folds and poultry houses very near their dwelling houses, and had to keep their firearms constantly loaded and primed in order to protect their stock. The same old gentleman tells of an old wolf trap that was built in the Limestone section before the Revolution, and which was still to be seen ten or fifteen years ago, though there are now no traces of it left. It wa!5 built by digging a large, grave-shaped hole in the gi'ound about ten or twelve feet deep. Then the walls of this pit were secured by means of a snug fitting pen of notched poles built from the bottom of the pit to a level with the surface, so as to prevent a wolf from scratching his way out. A board was then nicely balanced lengthwise over the pit, and a piece of fresh meat suspended over one end of the board, so that if a wolf walked out on the board to try to get the meat he was dumped into the pit, from which he was unable to escape, and where he was killed by the hunters soon thereafter. It was usually the custom to drag a piece of fresh meat about through the woods for several miles, and finally to drag it to the wolf trap, so that wolves might follow the trail and be led into the snare. The same old gentleman remembers going to the trap when quite small and seeing some of his neighbors kill a wolf.*

Bear were also plentiful in this section in the days of the pioneer, and occasionally one is to be met with to-day in the Edisto river swamp. Mr. Benjamin Culler,}- grand-father of Mr. W. W. Culler of this county, once killed a large bear in a hand to hand encounter. It was near his home in the Limestone section. He was stooping over a spring when suddenly a little dog he had with him sprang, apparently much frightened, into the spring beside him and splashed the water all over him. This caused Mr. Culler to straighten up suddenly, and just as he did so a large bear clasped the little dog in his embrace. Quick as thought Mr. Culler grabbed old bruin by the long hair on the back of his head, and drawing his hunting knife, gave him

*He was also present at the killin{>- of the last wolf killed in this section, which was about 1839 or 1840. It was killed by William Robinson on the plantation of his father, Joseph Robinson, on Limestone. He shot it twice and broke both of its fore lejis, l)ut in spite of its crippled condition it managed to turn back every dofj- tiiat came within reach of it. A short time before that a lone wolf had made its appearance on Great Branch, and "Jack" McMichael got a i^hot at it and wounded it, but did not bajr it. But as it was never seen iji that section afterwards, it was supposed that it died of its wounds. In each or these instances the wolf had played havoc with the sheep about it before being l)rought to earth.

The early settlers of Orangeburgh doubtless found some buftaloes roaming the forests about them, for there are old salt licks to be seen in this section to-day that are still called "buffalo licks." It is doubtful though if there were ever many buffaloes in this section of South Carolina, as the topography of the country was not suited to them, and it is more than likely that deer, bear, wild horses and the small animals did most of the licking at the salt licks of this section, notwithstanding the fact that the buff'alo has received the credit of producing these mosquito farms of to-day.

The beaver was also to be found in this section in the days of our first settlers, and, although it has been long over a century since he passed out of our territory, he has left his impress* behind him. There were one or more Beaver creeks and Beaver dams in the old District of Orangeburgh.
