Note

There is much confusion about the Orangeburg District Of South Carolina, created in 1769. The District was split several times Into several counties that no longer exist. The people believed it to be the Orangeburg District until after 1800 and many called it that until after the War. The Orangeburg District was made into 4 counties in 1785, Winston (became Barnwell County), Lexington County, Orange County, and Lewisburg County much of which makes up Calhoun County today.
