A Map by Mills (1820) shows Giles Carter as owning two tracts of land-one most likely Carter's Cross Roads, the other lower, and therefore most likely Cartersville. Giles received a grant of 1000 acres in 1815 (record in archives).

At one time this section was principally owned by the DuBose's, who came from the Huguenot settlement on the Santee River and settled on Lynches River around 1756. Bishop Gregg mentions the bloody struggle during the Revolution that was carried on between the DuBoses (Whigs) and the Tories near Wilmington-Manchester RR (now the ACL railroad).

Am Rev:

Peter Dubose (Capt.) (son of Andrew Dubose, Sr., who was son of the emigrants Isaac Dubose and Suzanne Couillandeau Dubose), was born 1759, and died September 26, 1846 in Sumter County, S. C. "The History of the Old Cheraws" by Bishop Alexander Gregg, gives an interesting account of the activities of the Tories in and around Darlington and Sumter Counties. In this area there was a breastworks built by a Church in the Carter's Cross Roads area and was used during the American Revolutionary War. A few years ago it was decided to build a road
around the church for the convenience of the people attending church. When this was done, they ran into pieces of cannon and skeletons in the breastworks area. Legends had been handed down about the Tory raids and the efforts of the Whigs, led by Capt. Peter Dubose, to protect their homes and families from destruction.

**Some of the Duboses and other Whigs were killed in their home area and buried where they fell. It is believed that breastworks also contained a cemetery where these men were buried. No record of who they were has been found. Since there was no real system or method of keeping records much of the history of this area has been lost. **

Capt. Peter Dubose was a leader in this part of South Carolina. He came to Lynchs Creek with his father from Craven Co. He also received land Grants on, and near, Lynch's Creek in Sumter Co., (later that was Lee Co., S.C.). He married Laney Worthington of Smithfield, N. C. She died 3-10-1837. Capt. Peter Dubose served in the American Rev. War. See many records at National Archives, Washington, D. C. His sword is today in the possession of a descendant in Bishopville, SC.

Captain Peter DuBose served under Capt. Elias DuBose, his first cousin, for 2 years as a private, under Captain Tho. Port as an Ensign for 5 months, for 6 months as Lt. under Capt. P. Robinson and 15 months as Captain under Col.'s Horry and Baxter of Francis Marion's Brigade. He enlisted in Cheraw District, S. C.

He received a Revolutionary War pension annual allowance of $410.00, started June 21, 1833, and had received $1,230.00 by 1835.
