CREDITORS’ NOTICE All persons having claims | against the estate of Jesse Suber, deceased, are hereby notified to i file the same duly verified, with the undersigned, and those in-1 debted to said estate will please) make payment likewise. - Evalyne Floyd, Administratrix Date, January 21st, 1964. Let’s have a look at how the towns of Ninety Six, Due West and Six Mile came into being. Whil^ we are at it, we’ll learn about the Keowee community al so. Ninety Six is about nine miles east, of Greenwood today, on South Carolina Highway 34. Not far away is Due West, at the in tersection of State Highways 184 and 20. Quite^a bit to the west of here, near Clemson, is the town ob Six Mile. These towns are far enough apart that we might well wonder how their stories are connected. The history they have in common goes back to the trade that devel oped between the English settlers at Charleston and the Cherokee Indians during the early part of the 18th century. According to Dr. J. M. Lesesne, president of Erskine College at Due West, “a regular overland ‘path’ came into use between Charleston and the capital town of the Cherokees, known as Keowee, in what is now Oconee County. It soon became the great interior trade route of South Carolina.” Further Information from Dr. Lesesne indicates that the trail or path started at Charleston and went up the west side of the Coop er River and what is now Lake Marion and Lake Moultrie to a point near the town of Santee. From here, the trail headed west na4 passed south of the towns of Congaree and Saluda until it reached a place called Ninety Six by the traders. Here is where the traders and travelers calculated that there were 96 miles remain ing to reach Keowee, the Chero kee capital. Records tell us that Robert G o u e d y established a trading post or store in 1751 at the point called Ninety Six. A much more colorful legend ot two these com munities got their names is re counted by .th$ late Mrs. Mary Doyle in her “Historical Oconee County.” Supposedly a lovely In dian maiden known a§ Cateechee fell in love with a young trader- silversmith named David Fran cis, whose home was in Ninety Six. Cateechee learned of a raid planned by the braves of her na tion on Ninety Six, and she stole away to jvam her lover of the im pending attack. The story says that as she trav eled on horseback, she counted off the miles by naming creeks along the way. Thus such names as Mile Creek, Six Mile, Twleve Mile, Eighteen Mile, and Three and Twenty, and others, came In to existence. But Cateechee did save the Tlliy for her lover and the people of Ninety Six, and the set tlers were prepared for the at tack when it came. Whether Cateechee named the creeks and the two communities of Six Mile and Ninety Six, or whether it was done by the trad ers who traveled the trail, it is a fascinating story and forever a part of South Caroliniana. A settler or trader by the name of De Witt settled just below the Abbeville-Anderson line at the point where the trade route cross ed the line. The community which developed here came to be called De Witt’s Corner. Militia assem bled here, Indians traded here, and a treaty , was made here be tween the Cherokees and white South Carolinians in 1777, where by the Cherokees surrendered most of the land that now makes up the counties of Abbeville, An derson, Greenville and Spartan burg. In the course of the years the name of the town changed to Due West Corner, and later was shortened to Due West. The town is today about six miles southeast of its original location.
