Some Interesting- History.
From The Spnrtnn, lly S. A. Sims.
Grindal Shoal* is not unknown to all whc
are familiar wilti tho history of South Carolina.
It was ?u the North side of Pacolet
at Grindal's ford, that Morgan catnped
just before the battle of Cowpens. This
place is well described by John P. Kennedy
in his famous novel of Horse Shoe Robinson.
lu the eurlieet settlement, a family by the
name of Grindal lived on the north side and
owned the shoal, which was a noted fishery,
fiom them it was called "Grindal Shoal's."
How the little river got the name of "Pacolet,"
has always been a mystery to us.
I'actdet, in its origin, is French, and is
found in an old ballad, written in the time
of Pepin?familiar to us all as a nursery
rhyme, "Valentine and Orson." "Pacolet"
means swift messenger. Ana this was ones
a swift Utile stream. We well kuow that
onr o'd frontiersmen had no acquaintance
with literature, an?l it is yet unkown to us
who nauied this river. It was called "1'ncolet"
long before Walter Scott mlruUuced
"Norma of the Fitful He id," and her
dwart attendant, to the reading world.
The earliest settlers known to us were
families from Virginia and North Carolina,
who moved hsra prior to the Kevolmion.
One "Chesney," an Englishman, wu probably
ene ef the earliest settlers. Chesney
owued a large tract cf land on ike north
side, extending above and for several miles
below Urindal's ford. When war eame on,
ho was moro grateful to George 111, than
eome others who accepted his gifts. Cbesnsy
adhered to the reyalist side, and it
was soon made too hot for him. He tied
to Charleston aud escaped to England.
Maj. Chesney, of the English army, who
wasiu Virginia during our Confederate war,
an ardent admirer of General Lee and a
sympathizer with the South, was a decendunt
of this Chesney who once lived on
Pacolct. Mnj. Chesney discovered among
his ancestor's old papers a diary which he
bad kent d urine his residence hero, and an
account of the rude way in which the rebels
forced him to leave this country.
John Nuckolls came from Virginia with
h a faaily about 1707. He settled a place
en Tbickity; afterwards "Whig Mill,"
also came a brother of Mrs. Nuckolls Maj.
Zsckeriah Dullock of V irgiuia, who owned
a grant of land on the North side of l'acolet,
throe or four miles above Grlndal.
This place remainded in possession of the
Nuckolls and Bullock decoudatits until very
recently. It was tbo property of Miss Julia
Norria and her nephews, Frank and Will
Anderson, the sons of Maj. F. L. Anderson
of Spartanbug. They sold the place and
n oved to Tennessee.
Than came the Goudelocks, who were from
Rock Fiah, Albemarle, Ya. They lived before
and during the Revolution st a place
since known as the homestead of Gen Elijah
Dawkns- now the home of Mr. Durbin
Littlejohn. It is on the north side about
two miles beyond Grindal Shoa's.
William Henderson came prior to the
war. owned a largo grant of land on the
south side. John Beckham and family
followed and smiled on part of the Henderson
grant. Mrs. Beckham was a sister of
Wm. Henderson. At the beginning of the
war, Wm. Henderson joined Sumter, who,
was an old friend. At the battle of
Eutaw.Col. Ilcndersou was severely woundII
n tvna mnilu (Innnral ol'lor (haf An
gugement. The war over, Henderson married
and settled on the Suntee. About 1784
Maj. John Hendeison moved from Halifax
N. C.. bouglit the whole grunt from his
brother, Gen. Wni. Henderson, settled a
piece a mile from the Sbosl on the south
side.
William and John wero the younger sous
of Samuel Henderson and Elizabeth Williams
brother to Hichard Henderson, the last
Colonial judge of North Carolina, nil from
Granville, N. C. Tho gallent Col. Williams,
who tell at King.s Mountain, was first
cousin to the Hendersons.
Maj. John Henderson was a fine old
character, greatly beloved by all of hisueigh
bors. His wife was a Mrs. Alston, the
widow of Solomon Alston, of Halifax, N. C.
The Henderson house is still standing, and
when one views its very limited accotnidn
tious, he wonders where they stored awaj
all tho guest who visited the old hospitable
gentleman.
Mr. Adam Hotter owned a beautiful plun
tat ion on the south side, abovo the ford knewi
since us the Nott p'acc. Mr. Miteliel and
Haile, brother-in-law to the Hendersons
live I near by.
Above the Hotter place, on the river, livci
William Hodge and his family. Hodge w a
an honest' brave whig; fought all throng1
Ihe war; was at the battle ofCowpcos. Tlnj
sutlered greatly from Ihe marauding, thiev
inc. house-burning lorirs. Their borne was

place was still owned by one of the decen
dnnts until very recently. The late Kev
James Hodge Saye, of Fishing Creek church
Chester, S. C., was related to this family.
All of these people were of good old
families, with as much education as the limei
afforded, and brought with them the court
eoua manners, habits and tastes that bo'
longed to an older civilization. Hence, tin
settlement around Grinds] Shoals was then
known as a neighborhood of more ouiturt
than was often found in the "back woods ol
Carolina." It was really the "cradle anc
nursery" of many who afterwards fillet
lugli positions.
Wade sud John Hampton, in tlier earlj
youth, were familiar chnructora about Grin
dal. They followed bunting and trapping
for fur animals. These youths were alwayi
the guest of Mrs. Bfchum, her husband
John ItecheiD, having sinfi^r testes. Dur.
mg die war, John Bechn*ntwaa a noted eeout
and often employed by Hampton in thai
nay, so their friendship was kept alive.
Ihe war over, Hampton had risen to higl
distinction, and was acquiring great wealth
yet still in touch with his old friend, Jacl
Beckhaui, who was a "no'er-do-weel.,
