York County Probate Records
York County was first established in 1785 and was part of Camden
District. From 1791 to 1800 it was part of Pinckney District, but
became a separate district at the dissolution of Pinckney in 1800. In
1897, part of the county was divided to become Cherokee County. It was
named for York County, Pennsylvania. This region is known for the
Catawba Indians and the famous Battle of Kings Mountain. The Catawbas
signed a treaty with the English in 1763 relinquishing their rights to
lands and thus ultimately reducing the size of their reservation. This
treaty opened up the area to Scotch-Irish pioneers who were removing
down from Pennsylvania. During the American Revolution, the battle of
Williamson's Plantation was fought on July 12, 1780 and the battle of
Kings Mountain on October 7, 1780. The famous mountain victory helped to
turn the tide of events for the Americans. Early settlers: John
Martin, Colonel William Bratton (1742-1815), Nathaniel Henderson, Walter
Thompson, William Edmondson, Elijah Browne, Samuel Watson, John
Moffett, Joseph Turnbull.
