Interesting History Found.

The following paper in the Office
of the Probate Judge of Edgefeld
solves the question as to whose prop
erty the original town of Edgefeld
was built upon.
At the time when the court house
and jail became a necessity as the
place where courts should be held,
Drury Minis and Lydia, his wife own
ed the land on which the present
town now lies, and such part as was
necessary was sold for the site Of the
court house and Jail. The first court
house was in the center of the square
as it now lies, and the jail is said to
have been located somewhat differ
emily from the present one, but on
the side of the present square. The
David Minis who witnessed the paper
was the son of Drury Minis and John
Cotton was the husband Of the fa-
nous or Infamous, Becky Cotton.
Drury and Lydia Minis to Moses
Harris: :.
One lot OF parcel of land contain
ing by estimate one half an acre, be-
ginning on John Harris line, and in
the line of the two acres assigned for
the public court house and gaol Of
Edgefeld county: then $50 feet to
jenkins Harris corner etc.; it being
part of the 40 acres, on part Of
which the gaol and court house of
Edgefeld is assigned to be set;" this
forty acres was granted to David
Burk by Gov. Moultrie on the 5th-
of September, 1885 and transferred
by lease and release to Drury Minis,
29-30 June, 1887.
