Marlboro County, located in the northeast corner of South Carolina,
was established in 1785 in the Pee Dee region of the state (see
Gregg's Early Pee Dee Settlers in the Main Catalog under "South
Carolina"). It is believed that the area was inhabited solely by
Indians until about 1730. The book presents chapters on the
county's early history and settlers; industrial affairs of the
early settlers; the American Revolution and the build-up toward it;
operations on Pee Dee; Bishop Gregg; members of the legislature;
Scottish settlers; the town of Clio; the courthouse; Bennettsville;
Brightsville; Blenheim; the "Confederate War"; early ministers;
Baptist, Methodist and Presbyterian churches; the town of McColl;
Adamsville; educational matters; "The Colored People"; 1886; "Down
to the Twentieth Century"; and families such as David, Evans,
Wilds, Hodges, Irby, Pegue, Rogers, Brown, Magee, Carloss, Mason
Lee, Coxe, Townsend, Henagan, Bruce, Kolb, Pouncey, Cochrane,
Spears, Vining, Terrell, Thornwell, Gillespie, Ellerbe, Forniss,
Pledger, Thomas, Parker, Ammons, Fletcher, Easterling, Ayer,
Covington, Eden, Meekins, Wilson, Campbell, McColls, McLaurins,
McCall, Hawley, Weatherly, McRae, Hinshaw, McLeod, McLucas,
Bennett, Stubbs, Moore, McInnis, Huckabee, Matheson, James,
Williams, Bedgegood, Pugh, Breeden and Adams. In the chapter on the
"Confederate War" there are rosters listing more than 800 soldiers,
and an everyname index lists over 3,200 names. A fold-out map of
Marlboro County and a map of the Old Marlborough Court House
complement the work.
