In 1 7:W King George II of Knghmd instructed Governor > Johnson, of iMitilh Carolina, to mark out i plo t's in a proper .situation for eleven I townships, uiii' especially ordered "to he located on the Hlver Watery," the i>ai<l township to contain a town "contigu ous to the river and to consist of so mail) lots and of such quantity of laud us you judge convenient." (London Colonial I Manuscript, Secrctim of State's oilice, l/Vol. X \, p. JO >.) [ According to these instructions James ,St. Julien, between December lillli, and February -, 1734, laid off the town ship of l''r<-<lcrick*hurg, nuined in honor of the l'rinee of Wales This j>lal lias survived the vicissitudes of lime and is a most interesting rejic. It is upon cloth, is mostly legible, and inscribed upon it are the names of "Sander's Creek ' and ("I'ine Tree Creek"? names retained untyl I lie present t ime, the latter being his toric, insomuch as the old ''Catawba Path" crossed this creek on a large nine log. The purpose of these i townships was to attract colonists frohv. abroad, but I he inducements could not have been sufficient, for in 17iJ5 Thus. Brown, an Indian I radei , in a petition to the Gov ernor, speaks of his faintly as being 'among the few inhabitants "in that re mote pint of the country." The first landowners in the vicinity of Camden bet tied on the west side of the riVc.r, but in 17:17, from the number of acres granted (fifty acres being allowed each person), we fmd twenty-one persons in Lredericks hurg township, Using within hailing dis tance of each other, but too far away ami too few to resist the hostile attacks of the Indians, one whole family being murdered on line Tree Creek. During the. next few years the strug gling colony was augmented by the ar rival of about fifty persons, but of these only three families owned n foot of land in what are now the corporate limits of the town, the others being at tracted by llic "deadly" fertility of the river bottoms. Life was indeed strenuous in those days, twef accounts found in the State records telling of constant alarms from the Chcrokces, "families leaving their habitations and betaking themselves to the forts,"-? the very crops being in jeopardy,? "one party working While the other guards them," and finally petition ing the Governor to send more ammuni tion to "enable us to. defend ourselves and mir families against these heathens, who threateneth our present destruction.
