The Promise Land Ninety Six South Carolina

I am new to the group. I am looking for information about the original families included in the land deal called The Promise Land? My family lived between The Promise Land, Ninety Six and Greenwood, South Carolina.

Have you contacted the South Carolina Historical Society? That would be a good place to start.

Have you contacted the Greenwood County SC Historical Society? Historical societies often have archives or information about land ownership, property taxes, and historic plat maps.

@Linda3,192 Promise Land would have been originally in Abbeville County. A census was taken in 1869 that included black residents. You can find it on FamilySearch here. The returns for Abbeville are divided into districts called, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4rd Battalions. You would have to do some research to find which district Promise Land was in.
