David, It would be very likely that they knew of each other, However I have no way of knowing at this date. It seems there is no one left to ask. If I knew then, what I know now, I sure would have asked more questions of the older folks when I was young. There is so much detailed history lost forever for the lack of just asking. A word to the wise for some of you younger people, ask questions of your relatives, of their lives, knowledge of their work, hobbies, geographic areas, people in their lives, before it is too late.
For geographic reference, my grandfathers plantation was on the north side of Georgetown and adjoining the town limits. It was on the portion of the Pee Dee between the Black river and Winyah Bay. The rice fields are still apparent and visible from the bridge over the Waccamaw river. The dry land area is now a sub division and once was the farm portion of the property. The property was sold around 1914-15 and to whom, I don't know.
