CONCISE SkS OF LAURENS COUNTY
WRI/TEN BY MR. W. W. KENNEDY.
The Organ/ation of the County in the Eigh=
tee/^h Century and its Progress
Into the Twentieth. ?
The sl/cn 9^ 1/aureus County which appears below was pre
pared for iA-rtion in a school catalogue by Mr. W. W? Kennedy
and by Jii/ourtesy is published in Tin-: Adykutiskk. Mr. Ken
nedy doe/10* present it as a complete or elaborate sketch but Tin-;
Ai)vi:k'/|,'r,H' readers will find it of great interest and value. The
schooljfhehers throughput Laurens would do well to clip it from
the p;^1' and keep it for reference.
/ -
/ The County of Laurens, which, up to the reconstrue
/lion period, was known as Laurens District; was carved
out of the old Ninety .Six District about 1785. It is to be
inferred from the wording of certain grants from George
III, still in existence and covering land in the (iraycourt
section, that a large division of territory, called Craven
County, with indefinite boundaries and extending over into
North Carolina, originally embraced all of this portion of
our Stale.
The writer, while making an abstract of titles some
years ago, could not find in the proper office any record of
a certain tract of land belonging to one of the l'ulnnms,
and on asking the owner for any papers he had concerning
the property, was handed a very old paper, worn out at the
folds. On being opened it was found to be a grant from
George III to one of the ancestors of the owner. It was
quite a curiosity, with its blue ribbons and the great royal
seal in red wax. It was signed by Jonathan Downs as the
King's surveyor, and staled that the land which it covered
lay in Craven County.
Jonathan Downs lived on Rabltll Creek, where Mr.
Albert Garlington now lives. When the Revolutionary
war began he raised a body of Whigs, of whom he took
command, and with whom he fought many a hard skirmish
along the stream on which he lived, and along Reedy
River, with Indians and Tories. lie is supposed to have
fought at King's Mountain. It is known that he partici
pated in the battle of Musgrove, on the Knorcc. ?So dis
tinguished was he for his bravere and ability that his peo
ple sent him to the legislature after the war. When this
County was carved out of/ Ninety Six District it was pro
posed in the legislature to name it Downs District, but he
rose and promptly objected, saying that be was still living
and that, for aught he or anybody else knew, he might dis
grace his name, and that, therefore, the district should be
given the name of a dead man. He begged that they
would give it the name of his friend, John La lire us, who
had been killed just as the war was closing, his request
was granted; hence, the name our County now bears.
During his term as King's surveyor Major Downs ob
tained grants covering nearly all, if not all, of the upper
portion of Laurens County, the eastern boundary of his pos
sessions at the close of the Revolution being a straight line
running from Knorcc to Saluda, and passing somewhere
between Dr. A. C. Puller's and Trinity Church.
Years after the war his daughter, the late Mrs. Phoebe
Brewster, then quite a young girl, on coming into his room
one morning found him seated beside a trunk full of papers
in front of the fire taking out paper after paper, and after
examining it throwing it into the fire. She asked him
what he was doing, and was told that the papers in thai
trunk were grants to him from the King covering thous
ands and thousands of acres which had been settled and
improved by a great many poor, but honest and industri
ous people, who supposed that they held undisputed titles,
that, in case of his death, his heirs could dispossess all of
these people, and that to save them harmless, he, after re
serving an ample estate for his family, was destroying all
the evidences of his ownership.
The first white settlements in Laurens were made, prob
ably, by Indian traders and the more adventurous of the
Huguenot, Scotch and Scotch-Irish colonists of the low
country. Afterward these received accessions from Vir
ginia, Germany and Holland, thus laying the foundation
for the splendid people we have now?self-respecting, in
dustrious, thinking, progressive people, who read the news
papers and useful books, mingle much with' each other so
cially, observe the Sabbath, go to church and take an en
lightened interest in schools.
During the Revolution a large proportion of the peo
ple of this section adhered to the royal cause, there being as
good people 011 one side as on the other, though juost all
early historians tried to convince their leaders that the
Whigs were all saints, and the Tories all devils. The two
factions merely represented different opinions on great pub
lic questions, and in nearly all cases both were conscien
tious. The truth of the matter is that the Revolution in
South* Carolina was not spontaneous, nor, in any sense,
original, but merely sympathetic, the Northern colonies
having the direct grievances, while the Southern, especially
in South Carolina, not only had no direct grievances, but
stood in a most favored relation to the crown; it is not sur
prising, therefore, that the spirit of loyalty should have
been so stiong here.
At the close of the war, while a spirit of vindictive
ness prevailed amongst the more impulsive of the victori
ous Whigs towards the vanquished Tories, and prompted
property confiscation and personal retaliation, the more
thoughtful leaders, recognizing the true spirit of the situa
tion, counseled moderation and reconciliation, except in
cases of great wanton crime, thus saving to the country
some of the best elements of its population, who, the war
being over, accepted the situation established by the sword.
The wisdom, ns well as the righteous of 'this course, has
been demonstrated many times in peace and in war. The
sons of those Whigs have joined hands with the sons of
those Tories both fa peace and in war.
