Information on Henry Neely

Henry and Elizabeth Neely first came (about 1755) to the Waxhaws region, a large part of which is known today as Lancaster County, South Carolina. Then they crossed the Catawba River, going west and south, and moved to the Bethesda section of York County. One of the major creeks of York County - Neely's Creek - was named after Henry Neely, according to the word of the eminent 19th century historian of Upper South Carolina, the Rev. Robert Lathan, D.D.
