Laurens County Genealogy

Laurens County was formed in 1785 from the old Ninety Six District. The county was named for Henry Laurens, a Revolutionary War leader. Many of the areas’ residents were loyalist during the Revolution.

The Battle of Musgrove’s Mill took place in what would become Lauren’s County on August 19, 1780. This was the first engagement in which British Regulars were defeated by colonist militia. Other Revolutionary War battles in the current Laurens County were: Fort Lindley/Lindler, Widow Kellet’s Block House, Farrow’s Station, Duncan Creek, Meeting House, Indian Creek, Hammond’s Store, Fort Williams, Cedar Springs, Mud Lick Creek and Hayes’ Station.

A future President, Andrew Johnson worked in Laurens in the 1820’s.

I think these Millers may be mine. At least some of them moved to the SC low-country by 1850. Can anyone help? I have not researched in Laurens Co before so know nothing of available records there. I am limited to mainly researching on the internet since I live in Australia. Thank you! Charlie
