Editor County Record:? There has been much speculation and conjecture as to the first colonization of the township of Williamsburg. There are a number of traditions as to the time and place of the landing of the first colony of Scotch-Irish emigrants in 1732. Of the second emigration in 1734 we have a fairly accurate account written by Robert Witherspoon, | one of the members of the Witherspoon family, who came over in the emigration of 1734. This colony embarked at Belfast, Ireland, September 14, 1734, and landed in Charles Town "three weeks before Christmas" in the same year. But to return to the first colonists. In the South Carolina Gazette of Saturday, October 28,1732,1 find the following significant notice, "Yesterday arrived the Happy Return from Belfast in Ireland having on board 85 Irish passengers." Were not these the first colonists? It is to be regretted that the notice is so brief. So far as we know there was no other body of Irish emigrants who came t/i Carolina in that year. It seems as if all the later emigrations sailed from Belfast, and I think that we may feel reasonably sure that these 85 passengers were Williamsburg's first colonists that came in a body. The arrival and departure of all vessels are recorded; and we find no other colonists in this year, except the Swiss who settled Purvsburg on the Savannah river, in the same year. I think that had any other body of colonists arrived some notice would have been given in the Gazette. Yours truly, S A Graham. Heinemann, S C, April 20,1914. Check Tour April tough.
