Banks of the Edisto is a family story and compilation of the descendants of Banks and Nancy Gunter. They are part of the large Gunter family that first settled in Lexington County shortly after the American Revolution. Banks and Nancy married about 1816 and raised a family of eleven children in the upper reaches of the Edisto River Valley. Beginning about 1857 shortly before Banks died, some of their children left for Alabama and Georgia while others stayed in South Carolina. Today, thousands of their descendants can be found in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and beyond. Among the many family names in this compilation are Atkisson, Bunn, Canada, Fulmer, Gunter, Gaither, Gurley, Hall, Hallman, Kneece, Lackey, Millsapps, Patterson, Ridlehuber and Sexton.
Located along the north fork of South Carolina's Edisto River, Orangeburg enjoys an extended, rich heritage dating back to the 1730s when it was created as one of the original inland townships. The first settlers were mostly German and Swiss immigrants who found the area to be the paragon of locales, valuable in fertile soil and abundant wildlife surrounding the river. The city of today has been gently shaped by its landscape and natural life, which called people and industries to experience the benefits of such land.This volume celebrates Orangeburg's history by offering readers a rare find of more than 200 photographs from days gone by, taking them on an adventure through the town's coming of age, from the early days of photography to the 1950s. These images reveal the ways of life long past by showcasing well-known town entities such as the Courthouse Square and the Edisto Memorial Gardens, local businesses like the Orangeburg Hotel, and beloved residents, some of whom were public figures and others better remembered by their families and friends. From early-century churches to the evolution of the county fair, readers will find themselves enthralled by the history that Orangeburg possesses.
