Does anyone know the history of a settlement called Tank, located near the Wateree River and Kershaw Co line? It is located on a 1895 Lancaster Co Map. see map at http://omackw.tripod.com/id6.html. When they first married (1897) my grandparents Hal B. and Amelia Ragsdale Perry lived at Tank, but I do not know what took them there. Perry's father, John Madison Perry, a native of Liberty Hill, was county coroner and lived in Lancaster in 1900. About 1913, Hal Perry built a family homeplace at Belltown on Hwy 97(just south of the Wade Beckham House) where Skylar Bell now lives. Can anyone tell me how Tank got its name? It sounds as though it might have had a water tank to service a railroad, but cannot find that a RR line ran through the area. What did Tank's residents do for a living? Why did the settlement disappear? Are there any remnants of it still there? Does anyone else have ancestors who lived there?
