Papers chiefly pertain to Fish Haul (Creek) Plantation (and the adjacent Pine Barren tract) on Hilton Head Island, S.C., and efforts to redeem the property, which was taken by the U.S. Government in 1862, by heirs of Mrs. Mary B. Pope (widow of John E. Pope). Thomas F. Drayton, Jr., of Macon, Ga., and later North Carolina, was the administrator of the estate of Mrs. Mary Baynard Edings Pope (who died in 1856 or 1857). The records include a list of the names of freedmen who were sold houses in Mitchellville by the U.S. Government, on the lands in question.
