Hi Steven,
        Thank you so much for such a detailed history of the
Coosawhatchie River.  I found the information to be not only
fact-filled, but quite interesting as well.
        My Youmans/Yeomans ancestors lived along this river so it is of
specific interest to me in my research.  I've always been told, yet
unable to actually verify, that my ancestor John Youmans/Yeomans owned
and operated a cotton mill on the Coosawhatchie River  in the Ridgeland
area.  The years he is to have lived at that location were approximatley
between 1868 (his marriage) and the time of his death around 1917-18.  I
have notes showing that they lived "at Log Hall, now called Turkey
Hill".
        Do you have any suggestions on how I might find any evidence of
the cotton mill or if there are any older maps that might show his
property lines?  I would appreciate any suggestions you or anyone else
might offer.  And thank you again for the interesting information on the
Coosawhatchie River.
Regards,
Nancy E. Parr
