We may further sav, too, that although we are blessed with a most retentive memory, and the things wo .eeord have been fastened on our mind and heart when they were plastic and Impressible; yet these traditions, In passing from one to Hnother and now gathered up from the memory of one mind, may have errors lnters|>ersod here and there. It' so, we will he glad to he corrected, and If atten tion be called to the subject ami a better record presented, a higher end will be attained than these sketches can directly accomplish. Among the most prominent names who, prior to the Revolution, aided our "Quaker Colony" and the Kershaws to build up this prosperous section of coun try just about 1 1 it* town of Camden, were nteys, Chesnuts, Hoyklns, kers, dor. ? men of energy, nerve, enter prise and head, who soon conquered the forest and swamps and developed to all Its then uses the superb water-power of this section. They all built up large es tutes and large families, and during a great century of a noble people have ex ercised a controlling influence in society here. The Cantoys were an old South Caro lina faml'y from t ie low country, and its members had achieved position before they tfcttb d here, and from that day to this have been prominent In society and public affairs. Capt. John Cantey, the head of the family in this immediate sec tion, distinguished himself for zeal, gal lantry and service in the Revolution. Gen. Zach. Cantey, Maj. John Cantev and Gen. James \V. Cantey were promi nent in their generations. While, of the generation now rapidly passing away, the lamented Lieut. James Willis Can tey won imperishable renown. In the Mexican war, whera his younger broth er, our fellow citizen, Mr. ZhcIi Cantey, then a mere boy, nobly bore the palmet to banner, and the late Gen. James Cantey. as mMutant and major "of the I'almetto Regiment,' gave augury of the high distinction he wot; in the late war; and In this great last struggle eV^ry one of the name (and there were ftiau^y ) bore an honorable part. Capt. John Chesnut, from whom the family here are 'descended, came from Virginia; was first the clerk ami after wards the copartner of Col. Joseph Ker -hnw ? m man of high part# mid Indoinl rahle will and energy. lie wan a son of John Chertuui, who wan killed in Wash ington'* regiment at Brad< lock's defeat, lie whs :i representative, in 1775, to the ( ongieMM ahMMiihled in South t arolinn, umt was a ilelegnte to the convention of Smith Carolina which ratified the con stitution of 1770 and was the only mem ber eaut of the Wateree who voted for the ratification. He waa the senior captain in (Jol. JoHeph Kershaw's regiment in the revolution, and at the ChII of Charles ton wan captured, escaped, was recap tured and confined In hamlcufts in the Camden ji.il, and bore the marks of the handcuffs to his grave. He, Ids ton Col. James Chestnut, of Mulberry, his grand hoiik Col. John Chestnut and Gen. James ( hesnnt, nil long represented Kershaw District in the Slate Senate, lie married a daughter of Capt. John Cantey, above alluded u?; was very active nnd promi nent during a long life; built up a largo fortune and a family which has alwsys been lutluential. The late lamented Col. I James Chesnut, of Mulberry, was bis son. His high record as public servant and private citizen added greatly to the family iitluence. The daughters of Ciij t John Chesnut respectively married Gov John Taylor, of Columbia, Col.Jan.it Deas, fo Camden, afterwards of Mobih , Ala., and Mr. Duncan MoRa, of Caind<-n each of these built up Urge families, yet filling high and useful positions in the communites In which they lived. Col. John Chesnut, son of Col. James Ches nut, of Mulberry, was one of the most esteemed sons of old K< r haw Diftrlct,. Ills early death was the result of expos ure in the Florida war, in which he commanded one of the choicest compa nies of knightly gentlemen this District has ever given to the service of the coun try. Our distinguished and esteemed fellow citizen, <Jen. James Chesnut, l? the last survivor Jn the male line of de scent resident here; though there are many descendants of female branches >t II among us inheriting and cnerlslilng the Itlgn qilHllllUS or H I10U10 stock. ?? Tint BOVKI Nfl, of the mingled blood of Bovklns and Bui-wells, were Virginian*. The name of Bnrwell has been preserved in every generation of them here, and we have soon these names on the oldest tombstones In the Peninsula in Virginia; and, If we remember rightly, these names are to be found prominent In the Colonial History of Virginia. The original settler here was Wllllairi Boykln, whoso sons were Sam, Frank, Burwell and John, from whom spring all of the name who have lived here. Frank Boykln *vas a major lit Mitchell Mlddleton's regiment of in fantry; John Boykln, n captain In Hamp ton's cavalry; and the others In Marlon's ami Sumter's troops, all men of decided torco and character.

"The inhabitants of the Province were, In 1 1 in t half centu ry, increased seven fold. None were in digent but the idle and unfortunate.
