Fairfield County
South Carolina

General Information

This is the most important County in South Carolina for my Cathcart ancestors—especially the County seat in the town of Winnsboro.  After the family moved from County Antrim, they first settled further north in Chester County; but by the time of that 1830 census nearly all the family had settled in Fairfield County.
