Subject: Location of Headwaters of Salkehatchie River From: Southusa Date: June 26, 1998 Mailing List Members, I am still looking for information on these two brothers. I have heard from other researchers, but have no documentation, that one or both of them may be buried at a Davis Plantation, located at the "headwaters of the Salkehatchie River". I have not yet found this Davis Plantation and am not sure what is considered the headwaters of the river. I have also heard that Col. William Davis may be buried on Rice Hope Plantation. There are quite a few of those in South Carolina, but I suspect it is the one located near the Savannah River, in former Winton County, now Barnwell and Allendale Counties. I would appreciate any information on these two men or the locations of a Davis Plantation, a Rice Hope Plantation, or the headwaters of the Salkehatchie River. DAVIS, Capt.
