1791 Ninety Six Dist SC plat for John GRIER on Buffelow (Buffalo) Creek seems to be the same area:
GRIER, John H
HUGH (possibly HUGHES)
HARLAN
HOMES, Walter
BUSHIP (probably BISHOP)
ROUNDTREE
(I have not seen this plat as yet.The mention of Buffalo Creek seems to place it just west of present Union (city)).
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
