Originally Barnwell County was part of Granville County, later part
of Orangeburg District. Winton County was created by act
of
the legislature Mar. 12, 1786. Justices William Robertson,
John Parkinson, Thomas Knight, Richard Treadway, Daniel Green,
William
Buford and James Fair were directed to erect a court house, gaol,
pillory whipping post and stocks. These were built of
pine
logs. Winton County became Barnwell District in 1798 and
Barnwell County in 1868.
Erected
by Gen. John Barnwell Chapter D.A.R.
