Note on Husband: Peter SIMONS

Peter Simons fought in the Revolutionary War under Colonel Wade Hampton and died soon after fighting broke out. His

plantation was broken into two parts; the Northern half, Willbrook to his youngest son Peter, the Southern half, Litchfield, to

his older son John. (Historical Atlas of Rice Plantations of Georgetown County and the Santee River, page 149)

 

Georgetown Rice Plantations by Aberta Morel Lachicotte, p46, says that the deed dividing Litchfield for Peter's two sons,

John and Peter was dated 1794, therefore the elder Peter must have died around 1794. The plat supposedly hangs in the

upstairs Hall. Each Plantation contained 966 acres (p.51). Peter's wife inherited one half of Chicora Wood Plantation. He

then purchased the other half from her sister, Mrs. Benjamin Young in 1764 and then sold it all to Benjamin and Richard

Waring in 1771 (p 119).
