Pickens County S.C. Area History
Pickens County was named after Revolutionary War hero
Andrew Pickens. This area was Cherokee Indian Territory
until after the American Revolution. Traces of their
influence on the area can still be found in the names of
creeks, rivers, lakes, and towns. Eastatoe, Oolenoy,
Keowee, Jocassee, Toxaway and Seconee are just a few of
the names that tie this area to the Cherokee. The trading
paths that were established in the early days lead from the
mountains to the sea and later became the migration paths
for white settlers. Many of the paths crisscrossed through
the land which later became Pickens County, South
Carolina.2
The first white men to come to the area were the “Indian
Traders.” Many of their names can be found in William
McDowell’s book, “Colonial Records of South Carolina:
Documents Relating to Indian Affairs 1750-1754.” 3 Other records concerning “trade” with the Cherokee
can be found at the South Carolina Department of Archives and History (SCDAH). 4
When the American Revolution came to the southern colonies, the Cherokee sided with the British
because the King promised their leaders that no white-man would settle west of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. While siding with the Tories, local British sympathizers, the Cherokee often went on raids
against the Patriots and other white settlers who were neutral in the conflict. They brutally attacked many
innocent families, and this bloodshed created fear and lingering animosity against the Cherokee.
Documented skirmishes and battles in this area can be found in a series of books by Patrick O’Kelley,
Nothing but Blood and Slaughter: The Revolutionary War in the Carolinas.5

In 1776 a campaign led by Colonel Williamson with a detachment of over four hundred soldiers went into
Indian Territory and defeated the Cherokee. After this defeat of the Cherokee, the Governor appointed a
commission to make a peace treaty with the Indians and their lands and farms were surrendered. A system
for granting these lands to the white settlers was not established until after the American Revolution.
The map below drawn by Fredrick V. Clayton and published in his book, The Settlement of Pendleton
District (1777 – 1800)6 shows rivers, creeks, trails, Indian towns, military forts, and battle grounds. This
book is an important resource for anyone researching this area because it contains approximately ninetyfive percent of the first land grants located on detailed maps, and it includes the names of grantees.
Individual plats of state land grants from 1784-1868 can be found online at SCDAH.
http://www.archivesindex.sc.gov/.
This research locality guide was not created to contain information specific to the Cherokee Indians, but
in order to understand the early history and naming patterns of the area it was included.

Upcountry S.C. (Pickens County) Research
As researchers interested in this area, we may find it difficult to locate records because of the county and
district name changes. According to Ancestry’s Red Book, “Understanding South Carolina’s recordkeeping jurisdictions is essential to successful research. Each jurisdiction created records and sometimes
more than one jurisdiction recorded the same event or transaction. The best policy regarding research in
South Carolina is to check every possible jurisdiction for a needed record.”7
Since South Carolina was one of the original thirteen colonies, its proprietor and provisional royal
government was based out of Charleston, and all legal documents were recorded there until 1769. When
this centralized record keeping system became overwhelmed because of the influx of settlers to the state,
judicial districts and counties within districts were formed. Some of the dates listed below did not affect
the northwestern part of the state, but it is helpful to understand the parent counties within the state of
South Carolina as we search for records.8

Golden Corner GenWeb Project http://rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scoconee/searching.html
Paul Kankula and Gary Flynn are the volunteer
coordinators for this project and have spent many
years surveying and compiling historical and
genealogical information about this area.
An enormous amount of information can be
found at this site, and I consider it one of the best
online sites for researching Pickens County and
the “Old Pendleton District.”
As mentioned earlier the division and naming patterns of the jurisdictions determine where records may
be found. This website can be very helpful because your ancestor may appear to have lived in several
different places when actually they never moved, but the name of the place where they lived changed.
This website shows a detailed breakdown of the name changes that affected Pickens County, S.C.9

Prior to 1783, no lawful White settlements were above the Anderson County border.
In 1785, Treaty of Hopewell was signed to remove the Cherokee Indians from S.C.
In 1789, Pendleton County was formed as part of the 96 Judicial District.
In 1795, Pendleton County was placed in the Washington Judicial District.
In 1799, Pendleton County was named Pendleton District
In 1799, Washington Judicial District was discontinued.
In 1816, another Treaty was signed to relinquish Indian Territory land to Oconee County.
In 1826/27, Pendleton District was divided into the Anderson & Pickens Districts.
In 1868, the state legislature decided to change all districts to counties.
Oconee County (est. 1868) represents part of old Pickens County & added Indian Land.
Pickens County (est. 1825) represents part of old Pickens District.
Anderson County (est. 1826) represents the old Anderson District. (Anderson County deeds
include the records of former Pendleton District/County.)
In 1986, Pickens County annexed Oconee County land that included Clemson University and
land extending SE to Anderson County.

Missing Records
The 1890 U.S. census schedules were destroyed by fire, but the South Carolina Civil War veterans and
widow’s schedules can be found at the S.C. Department of Archives & History.
Pickens County is fortunate because they are not missing any records due to local courthouse fires.
Unfortunately, in the past the historic records within courthouses were not monitored and some records
have “disappeared.” Researchers are working together to locate and make available all possible records.
