[@robbertram3310]

Great video Tony. You left out just one little piece of Society Hill’s history (wink wink, nudge nudge)

[@dennisreeder754]

I was trying to think of a pg way of saying that on this family video.

[@CAROLINATONY]

Lol.. actually I think they were over in Marlboro County across the river. I remember when I was newly married and 20 years old I had to work on a drink cooler at Buddy's Trucker Motel. There was almost undressed girls in there. I was way too uncomfortable.

Great Stuff ...There is an old trading post rd/trail out there ..goes straight to the river and Society Hill almost became the capital ...not sure if true but ive heard it missed becoming the state capital by one vote

[@amandasaunders3493]

Thank you! The Burn cottage is an Air B&B. Society Hill is going to be my pit stop when I head to family on the coast.

[@CAROLINATONY]

[@Blujonny11]

Hi, I live in Southport, NC and was wondering what might be the best bang for my buck in terms of small town history if I wanted to travel within a two hour range or so. Thanks in advance!

[@virginiahelton5024]

[@CAROLINATONY]

[@ChrizardsAdventures]

Moved to bennetsville love the whole area. Any tips in places to metal detect?

[@CAROLINATONY]

My 6th G-Grandfather was elected Vestryman of St David’s in 1777, Capt John Blakeney.

[@CAROLINATONY]

Wow. Thats pretty cool you can go back that far.

[@robbertram3310]

@@CAROLINATONY I can go back one generation further on that line to Col. Robert Blakeney born 1709 died 1766 in Limerick, Ireland. On my other Chesterfield lines I can go back to 1510.

[@furmanmackey5479]

Governors, sheriffs, judges, high rollers and the horney (sometimes that meant all of the afore mentioned) were among those who flocked to Society Hill for many decades for both political and "social" reasons. It was said that if you wanted to get elected to and hold onto an office in South Carolina you best have made some friends in Society Hill....Some of them even have kin still living there even if they, the kin, don't know they ARE kin.

[@porkchop3656]

Way back then they didn’t realize that one day that place would be nothing more than a speed trap for trucks.

[@CAROLINATONY]

fortunately they have laid off a little bit . thanks for watching

[@franklyo1162]

So much more you should have told this little town almost became the capital of South Carolina that was never told this little ol Town had so much more to tell about old homes people that stay there it's more than David Beasley

Thank God the Confederacy doesn't exist these days. Love the history, hate the slavery. Guitar was a nice touch!

[@CAROLINATONY]

Thanks for watching

[@williammurray8060]

Slavery was around long before the confederate states existed.

[@aloneranger3980]

Northern states had slaves too, sonny. Outlawed in New Jersey in 1865.

[@robertwoodward8542]

You actually thinks the confederacy is gone?
