I've been comparing the information posted in the land records section
at http://www.hchsonline.org with my Delorme South Carolina Atlas and
Gazetteer and was wondering how the entries in the plat books were
made. For example the entry in book C page 43 has "William B. Graham:
1,000 acres on NW side of Waccamaw R. near Pleasant Meadow Sw., bd. by
William Graham, Felix Powell, vacant, Edward Conner, John Patterson and
Nicholas Prince." How were "neighbors" listed; clockwise or counter
clock wise? When dealing with large tracks of land what would vacant
indicate? Using octagon shapes I've plotted out some just as a very
rough general reference. Any thoughts?
