“William Hemingway surveyed George town District, and in December, 1820, the Legislature appropriated$1,722 for his work. He is listed as a resident of Georgetown in the 1820 Census, and he died that year on 18 November. An entry in the “Journal of General Peter Horry” for 1 October, 1812, suggests that he employed slaves to assist in his work; the General “sent Scipio & Hardtime … to Carry the Chain for Mr. Hemingway the Surveyor.” Information from: Mill’s Atlas of South Carolina – 1825, Southern Historical Press, 1980
