Images of America: John's Island

Author: Connie Walpole Haynie

John's Island is the largest Sea Island (along the SC coast).  There are archival photographs and plenty of information on the area.  In it I found a map from 1826-1836 that shows Edward and William Whaley with plantations 26 and 19 respectively.  Also, I found a listing of the Stono Scouts from the Civil War including J.S. Whaley as a Lieutenant and John B. Whaley as 4th Sergeant.  A plat of summer homes in Legareville, a summer getaway destination for many of the planters in the area including Thomas Whaley in 1860.  There is a picture of the Vanderhorst family in 1912.  This was an interesting read and good for a few pictures.
