Edgefield in Edgefield County, South Carolina — The American South (South Atlantic)
Holly Hill
Holly Hill sits on a tract of land originally granted to James Robeson in 1768 as part of England’s expansion into the S.C. backcountry. Robeson sold this property in 1778 to Sarah and Jenkin Harris, whose sons, Jenkin Jr., John and Moses, became active in the development of Edgefield Village. Later Charles Goodwyn, lawyer and state senator, lived at the site until his death in 1824. Architectural study suggests that the eastern half of the house may date to the 18th century.
