At this point the Camden-Mars Bluff road intersected the road to Darlington on property granted to the Reverend John Wilson (1790-1869) by the State of South Carolina in 1837. Wilson, a North Carolinian, settled here, and after his death his grandson Dr. Peter A. Wilson, lived on a portion of the land and practiced medicine.
