    October 25, 1849 - January 16, 1905
    We are indebted to Mrs. Wynness L. Thomas for forwarding the following information from Seldon B. Hill, The St. James, Santee, Parish Historical Society, P. 0. Box 666, McCellanville, SC 29450.
    Thomas William Graham was bom October 25, 1849, a son of William Isaiah Graham (1822-1864) and Margaret Dorcas Beaty (1825-1891). His father was sheriff of Horry County from 1851 to 1856. His mother was the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Akin Beaty and Dorcas Chestnut Johnson. On December 28, 1871, Thomas William Graham married Frances Jones Sessions, a daughter of Francis I. Sessions and Harriett Tillman Green. He operated a business on the Waccamaw River near Conwayboro which caused the area to be known as Grahamville.
    Graham sold a considerable tract of land along the South Carolina coast near what is today Myrtle Beach before relocating with his family to their new Santee River home, Woodville Plantation.
    Woodville was conveyed by the Master in Equity, John Adams Leland, to T. W. Graham on October 20, 1887. He later added Elmwood Plantation and other properties to his holdings. He became a successful rice planter and a manufacturer of naval stores.
    T. W. Graham died at McCellanville on January 16, 1905.

    We are indebted to Mrs. Wynness L. Thomas for forwarding the following information from Seldon B. Hill, The St. James, Santee, Parish Historical Society, P. 0. Box 666, McCellanville, SC 29450.
    Thomas William Graham was bom October 25, 1849, a son of William Isaiah Graham (1822-1864) and Margaret Dorcas Beaty (1825-1891). His father was sheriff of Horry County from 1851 to 1856. His mother was the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Akin Beaty and Dorcas Chestnut Johnson. On December 28, 1871, Thomas William Graham married Frances Jones Sessions, a daughter of Francis I. Sessions and Harriett Tillman Green. He operated a business on the Waccamaw River near Conwayboro which caused the area to be known as Grahamville.
    Graham sold a considerable tract of land along the South Carolina coast near what is today Myrtle Beach before relocating with his family to their new Santee River home, Woodville Plantation.
    Woodville was conveyed by the Master in Equity, John Adams Leland, to T. W. Graham on October 20, 1887. He later added Elmwood Plantation and other properties to his holdings. He became a successful rice planter and a manufacturer of naval stores.
    T. W. Graham died at McCellanville on January 16, 1905.

Tilly Swamp area history holds Civil War stories

WYNNESS THOMAS

Area History

Published on Saturday 6-5-99

The late Catherine Lewis, in her series of lectures on "The Horry Outback,'' listed the community in which I live as Nixonville/Tilly Swamp. She was indeed correct, as it is known by both names. The community encompasses four areas: the swamp itself - Tilly Swamp - and Grahamville, Reaves Ferry and Bear Bluff.

Information compiled by C.B. Berry in 1983 and published in the spring 1983 issue of Independent Republic Quarterly lists a plat of 100 acres of land on the southeast side of the Waccamaw River on Tilly's Swamp, issued March 5, 1772, to William Tilly. The plat was laid out in a square, bordered on all sides by vacant land with the swamp running through the center.

The swamp was evidently named for Mr. Tilly because he was the first person to own land in this area. I can find no further reference to him in the IRQ, so he probably left the region.

Thomas William Graham was born in Horry County in 1849, a son of William Isiah Graham and Margaret Dorcas Beaty. His father was sheriff of Horry County from 1851-1856. He married Frances Jones Sessions and later operated a mercantile business on the Waccamaw River about nine miles north of Conway, which caused the area to be known as Grahamville. In 1887 Graham sold a considerable tract of land along the S.C. coast near what is today Myrtle Beach before relocating with his family to their new Santee River home, Woodville Plantation.

The lane from the highway to the river at Grahamville was once lined with elm trees and small houses where the turpentine workers lived. Here, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, Burroughs & Collins operated a general merchandise store, a turpentine still and cotton gin. They also operated a manufacturing of Naval stores. At cooper shop nearby someone made and provided the much needed barrels.

Turpentine, tar, pitch and shingles cut from area timber were some of the supplies stored in a large warehouse. A steamer ran from Conway to Nixonville (Grahamville) to points upriver daily; another steamboat ran to Georgetown weekly. Today, the community is known as ``The Wildhorse'' and has been developed into an exclusive residential area.

The Jesse Nixon house is in a grove of oaks about a half mile from Grahamville on what is today S.C. 90. After Nixon's death, his daughters, Misses Martha and Sarah lived there. Martha Nixon was the first postmaster of Nixonville, serving from Feb. 23, 1874 to March 31, 1882. Bonita Lebiedz, a Nixon descendant, and family presently live in the house.

The sisters were locally famous for their scuppernong wine and brandy, made from their own vineyard of about 20 acres. They were also remembered for the coonskin caps (with tails) they made for soldiers of The Brooks Guard, and given to them as they departed from Conway for the Civil War.

The farm of William Campbell Reaves was adjacent to the river between Grahamville and Bear Bluff. Besides owning and operating the ferry, his holdings included a shingle mill, cotton gin and general store. The Nixonville post office was moved to Reaves' general store in 1907 and operated under the name of Vina until 1926, when it was moved back to a store on S.C. 90 and was once again called Nixonville.

Vereen descendants live near the river at Bear Bluff. Nora Vereen Sanders has traced the family farm back to the earliest Vereen who was granted land here by John Musgrove, "The king's lord.'' The date on the bicentennial certificate is 1735.

The old Vereen house has been torn down, but a tale about the "resident ghost'' persists through generations. On the morning of April 1, 1781, during a skirmish between the Whigs (Rebels) and Tories, a black female servant was upstairs weaving cloth when she was killed by a stray musket ball. Locals said that during the dead of night one could sometimes hear the pedals of a loom moving rhythmically in the old house.

In the 1883 South Carolina State Gazetter and Business Directory, listed under Nixonville were the following: Branton, S.-Grist Mill; Cox, B.-Gen. Merc; Dun, J.-Wheelright; Grant, J.H.-Physician; Nixon, S.MH, Misses & sisters-grape vineyard; Roland, J.R.-Gen. Merc; Sessions, Geo.-Gen. Merc; Watts, Everette-Grits Mill.

Nixonville/Tilly Swamp is still a thriving community and today includes Pearl's Beauty House, Robert's Mercedes Benz - sales and service, Tread Systems Inc. - the home of Diamond Back Classic Radial Tires, the Nixonville substation, Nixonville fire station, Tilly Swamp Handy Mart and Tilly Swamp Baptist Church.

Wynness Thomas of Conway is a free-lance writer and a member of the Horry County Historical Society. She is the author of the Grand Strand (Historical) coloring book and the Horry County (Historical) Coloring Book.

    The old Vereen house has been torn down, but a tale about the "resident ghost'' persists through generations. On the morning of April 1, 1781, during a skirmish between the Whigs (Rebels) and Tories, a black female servant was upstairs weaving cloth when she was killed by a stray musket ball. Locals said that during the dead of night one could sometimes hear the pedals of a loom moving rhythmically in the old house.

    In the 1883 South Carolina State Gazetter and Business Directory, listed under Nixonville were the following: Branton, S.-Grist Mill; Cox, B.-Gen. Merc.; Dun, J.-Wheelright; Grant, J.H.-Physician; Nixon, S.MH, Misses & sisters-grape vineyard; Roland, J.R.-Gen. Merc.; Sessions, Geo.-Gen. Merc.; Watts, Everette-Grits Mill.

    Nixonville/Tilly Swamp is still a thriving community and today includes Pearl's Beauty House, Robert's Mercedes Benz - sales and service, Tread Systems Inc. - the home of Diamond Back Classic Radial Tires, the Nixonville substation, Nixonville fire station, Tilly Swamp Handy Mart and Tilly Swamp Baptist Church.
