Note: 2 moved from NC to Lower Richland Co. SC and built "Grovewood Plantation."
From "A History of Richland County" by Edwin J. Green:
William Weston and his wife, Sarah Luten, came to the "Fork" from Edenton, N. C., about 1750 and built their home not far from the station of Weston. A thicket on the Garrick Place marks the site. Here Mrs. Sarah Weston, the "Widow Weston," was living during the Revolution. Children of this couple were, it seems, Robert, who collected his mother's Rev olutionary claims; William, who married Grace Hirons and lived at Gum Tree near Congaree; James, a member of Capt. John Fairchild's company of rangers (1751); Thomas; Malachi; Grace, wife of Joel Adams. If Philip Raiford (III) married Judith Weston, she most probably was a daughter of this couple. From William and Grace Hirons Weston comes the well-known family of that name.
