Saluda County Genealogy
Saluda County was formed in 1895 from Edgefield County. Initially, the name was to be Butler County. The county seat is Saluda and it was named for the Saluda River which is one of the counties boundaries. The term Saluda came from the Cherokee and means River of Corn. This area was inhabited by the Cherokee Indians before European settlement. William Travis, hero of the Alamo was born in what became Saluda County, as was James Butler Bonham.
In 1755, the English signed the Saluda Old Town treaty with the Cherokee in what is now Saluda County. George Washington stayed overnight in what would become Saluda County in 1791 at a home near Ridge Spring.

SonyaCJ on “Crider and Nettles familes that lived in Orangeburg Dist. before 1820″
My 4g-grandfather, Frederick Crider and wife, Susannah, came from Orangeburg Dist., S.C. to Southwest Mississippi (Franklin County) before 1820. Their daughter, Elizabeth Chrishine, married Elisha Nettles before 1820 and was also living in Franklin County, Mississippi. There is also an Elisha Nettles in Orangeburg Dist. in 1820. All of this is based on the 1820 census for S.C. and MS. I am trying to find out if the younger Elisha Nettles that married the Crider is the son of the older Elisha Nettles living in Orangeburg Dist. There was another Nettles that came to MS about 1810 from another district in S.C. but he left MS about 1815 and moved to Louisiana. There is no marriage License on record in Mississippi for Elisha Nettles and Elizabeth Christine Crider. Can anyone help me? I need to know if these two Elisha’s are father & son and if Elisha Nettles married Eliz. Crider in South Carolina.
