From the Chester District Genealogical Society Bulletin, Vol IX issue 4,
page 117, an extract from "Memories, Traditions, and History of Rocky
Mount and Vicinity" by L.M. Ford. Art. IX, TRAGIC INCIDENTS AMONG THE
WHITES:
"Capt. Charles Thorn was killed and his body was thrown into the river
above the falls by his slave, Bob. This was in 1835. For this crime Bob
was tried, convicted and executed. The hanging took place near the
residence of the late W.P. McCullough. Bob's head was then cut off and
stuck on the end of a pole and the pole stuck in the ground on the
roadside near the place of hanging and remained there until it was
thoroughly decayed."
Charles Thorn is Buried in the Wall-Thorn Cemetary near St. Michael's,
Great Falls, SC. Charles Thorne served in the War of 1812. He purchased
a mill on Fishing Creek from Jason and Arthur Hicklin and operated it for
many years.
