Subject: Waxhaw Region, Scots-Irish and German Settlements From: NBActon Date: April 12, 1998 Where is the best place to search for material about the Waxhaws and the people who settled this area? Were there certain places that Scots-Irish and Scots settled in early SC? (1600-1700s) How many German settlements were there also in early SC? I know of Orangeburg, Dutch Fork, and Purysburg but are there others? Charleston of course. Was Long Cane Creek area a Scots-Irish settlement? I am doing research on James Clark b. 1807. Arthur Phelps b. 1808. Mother Sophia and I suspect his father was Elisha Phelps. Mother and son b. in SC. John Richardson and Eliz. Catherine (surname unkn but German) John b. 1785-90. E. C. b. 1791. I am at an incredible brick wall and need to get out and research in libraries and the Archives. I really need some advice on where to go and where to look when I get there!!!
