SOME EARLY GEORGETOWN DISTRICT RECORDS Volume XV Fall 1987 Number 4 , p. 191: "The following abstracts were made from documents found in the Office of the Clerk of Court in Georgetown County Court House. Somehow these records were not destroyed with the bulk of the Georgetown County records during the Confederate War. While most of these records are of minimal genealogical value, the ones abstracted herein should be of interest to persons with ancestry in that area. There is one bundle of attachment bonds, a small bundle of notes to the commissioner of the poor (E. Waterman), some notes to the commissioners of free schools, and some miscellaneous records of one kind and another. One document is reproduced in facsimile just as proof that they exist. My thanks to Mr.
William H. Chandler of Hemingway, SC, for making me aware of these records."

Volume XV Fall 1987 Number 4 , p. 204: The Bill and answer having been read yesterday, and counsel heard on both sides, the Court on this day pronounced the following decree:

The object of this bill is to recover a negro woman named Rose whom the Complainants (p. unnumbered) claim under the general words of a deed from Hugh Winter, and whom the defendant claims under a previous gift to his wife Agnes, who was a daughter of the said Winter. The evidence in this case is chiefly circumstantial. Hugh Winter, from whom both parties claim, conveyed by deed to Trustees, all his whole estate both real and personal to be equally divided among his children Hugh Winter, Jane Cooper, Margaret Durant, Agnes Winter and Mary Carlisle. A division was made soon afterwards, when Hugh Winter the father was present, and the negroes were allotted in families to the different children.

It was proved by James Brown, one of the Trustees, that before the division was made, H. Winter set apart the negroes Mingo, Diana and her child Peter and told the Trustees that they had nothing to do with those Negroes, for he had given them to his daughter Agnes to put her on a footing with his other children to whom he had before made advancements.

The wench Rose who is in (p. unnumbered) dispute is a child of the wench Diana who was thus set apart, but Mr. Brown does not remember that she was then present with her Mother, on the contrary he declared that H. Winter named only Mingo, Diana and her child Peter, and when he delivered the deed he again said that he conveyed all his Negroes by it except "the three before mentioned."

If this were the only testimony, I would be bound to declare that the wench Rose was not given to Agnes by her father. But there are other circumstances which require a different opinion. The deed purports to be a conveyance by H. Winter of all his property to be divided among his children. The names of the Negroes are not expressed in the deed, but in the designation of them made in the division by the Trustees, the girl Rose is not named in any of the shares. It has been proved also that the negroes were divided into families, that this was the wish of H. Winter, and that the family to which Rose belonged had been set aside by him for his daughter Agnes before any division.

The fair inference from these circumstances is that Rose was not intended to be included in the deed from H. Winter, but that she was either present and made one of the family so set apart for Agnes and was overlooked by the Witness Mr. Brown, or that she was not (p. 209) set apart because she had been previously given to Agnes by her Father.

This last conclusion appears to me to be the true one from other circumstances. Two years after this division a Witness Mr. McCutchen procured from Agnes this girl to take care of his child. Agnes was then unmarried and living with the husband of her sister Jane, James Cooper, she had the exclusive possession of the girl and was acknowledged in the family to be the owner. This fact not only manifests very strongly a right in her, but also that this right must have been derived from a gift made previously to the division. There is another circumstance which strengthens this proposition: the object of H. Winter was to make the shares of every child equal and Mr. Brown has stated that the gift of Rose to Agnes would have done no more than put her on an equal footing with his other children. The equity then is on the side of the defendant's claim and this view of the evidence is the only one which can reconcile the contradictions in it which ought to have great weight with the court in every case. It is therefore ordered and Decreed that the Bill be dismissed but without costs.

Land deed, 16 Mar 1769 - In the Eighth year of the Reign of our sovereign Lord George the Third. Parish of Prince Frederick, Craven Co., Province of SC. Isabel McCutchen buys from Hugh Winter for L 180 current money of the Province - 200 acres bounding on one of the branches of Black Mingo Creek and adjoining the lands of William Cooper, Alexander McCrea and Adam Strain. Witnesses: William Cooper, Hugh Winter, Susannah Winter, James McCutchen.
