Greetings from SC. If you are referring to Ninety Six District (one of the
seven judicial districts) established in 1769, it was divided into the
following counties in 1785: Spartanburg (on the NC border), Union, Laurens and
Newberry (in the interior), Abbeville and Edgefield (on the GA border). 

Northeast of Ninety Six District, touching on both the Georgia & NC borders
was the "Indian Territory," and south of Ninety Six District was Orangeburg
District (also touching on the GA border).
