My ancestor, John SMEDLEY,  lived on the Red Bank Creek of the Little Saluda
River.  This area started off in Colleton County, then it was in Edgefield
District, and today, it is in Saluda County, SC.  Does anyone have any
information on the history of this area?

 I have information on most of the families who lived on the Red Bank Creek.
I would love to correspond with anyone else who is interested in this area.
Some of the families are: James HART, William BURDITT, Samuel ETHERIDGE,
Thomas DELOACH, Henry KING, and Lewis CLARK.  I am especially looking for
information on HENRY and AVERILLA KING, and LEWIS CLARK.

I know that there was a RED BANK BAPTIST CHURCH.  Does anyone know where I
might find the records of this church?  I have also seen a posting about the
Edgefield Historical and Genealogical Society.  I would love to have an
address for this place, and I am sure that others would, too.

I also have a BIG QUESTION; if John Smedley died in 1790 before Edgefield
District was formed, where would I find any possible records of the settling
of his estate.  Where would these old Colleton County Records be?

Thank you for any help. Thank also Steve Coker for the great job that you
do.  This is one of the most informative lists that I have ever belonged to.
