       Land on Map depicts part of today's 
		Spartanburg Co SC, however, 
		when Peter first came upon this land, it was Mecklenburgh North 
		Carolina. 
		 
		""Peter Lewis, 100 acres Mecklenburgh on both sides of Lawsons fork 
		of  
		Packolett above Jones road. Beginning at a post oak on the N side of 
		said  
		fork then South 128 poles to a fence thence W 128 poles to a pine thence
		 
		N 128 poles to a post oak and thence East 128 poles Beginning.  
		Date 26 October 1767." File 2231; Grant 386; Book 23, pg 153,  
		North Carolina Land Grants. " 
		Note: This deed was recorded in North Carolina 
		even though the land was in  
		today's South Carolina. What happened was the 1735 survey between North 
		and  
		South Carolina was found to be incorrect and was resurveyed in 1772. At 
		the time  
		David recorded this deed the boundary cut across Lawson Fork, which put 
		it in North  
		Carolina. The 1772 survey moved the North Carolina line north to it's 
		present day boundary. 
		  
		 
		 
 
		
		Below is a closer shot of same 
		map "Lawson Fork, from it's 
		confluence with the Pacolet River, flows 29 miles northwest to 
		almost the Blue Ridge Mountains. At the time of Peter Lewis it would 
		have had a number 
		of small mills that ground corn for meal. His mill was located about 4 
		miles west of the Shoally  
		Creek branch. See map below. The map shows two Lewis Mills. One belonged 
		to David Lewis  
		and the other to Peter Lewis. I believe the lower one is Peter's mill 
		because David Lewis's home  
		is listed just north of the upper mill."
