Horry County Probate Records

Pictured

Horry County was incorporated in 1801 and was taken from the Pee Dee
region of the State. It was named after Peter Horry, who was born in
South Carolina ca 1743, Revolutionary War Hero who was elected captain,
later elected to the Provincial Congress of South Carolina to serve the
1st and 2nd Regiments. In 1790, he was assigned to the South Carolina
Militia under Brigadier General Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion. The county
itself was completely surrounded by water, which forced the inhabitants
to survive virtually without any assistance from the "outside world".
This caused the county residents to become an extremely independent
populace, and they named their county "The Independent Republic of
Horry&uot;.
