Source Identification
Record: Florence County Plat A/255.
Survey date: April 10, 1912.
Recorded: April 25, 1912.
Surveyor: H. E. Eaddy.
Repository: Florence County Register of Deeds.
Key Language
The survey certification states that, at the request of “Mr. A. Poston,” the surveyor laid off “one dozen lots at the public road crossing of the Railroad in the Town of Poston in Pee Dee Township near his premises.”
What It Supports
The plat is direct evidence that the phrase “Town of Poston” and a twelve-lot railroad-crossing layout were in recorded use by April 1912.
What It Does Not Prove
The abbreviated requester name “A. Poston” is not, by itself, definitive proof that the requester was Andrew Poston. The plat also does not establish legal municipal incorporation or identify the land instrument described in the 1916 newspaper notice.
