First Families of Edgefield District South Carolina

Early Inhabitants

A very interesting legend has been handed down by the Indians concerning their coming to this section. The story is told that an Indian princess became ill and was about to die. The chief loved his daughter very much and was grief-stricken. The chief was told in a dream to take his daughter to the land of the rising sun where she would regain her health. The Indians built a litter for the princess and left their home, moving eastward. The story goes on to tell that they traveled until they came to the land of the whispering pines through which flowed a river of sand. This is located in the Hitchcock's Woods, southwest of the town on Aiken and is known as Sand River. Here the Indians built their village, and the wonderful climate restored the health of the Indian maiden.
