Bacons Bridge, Dorchester County, South Carolina



 


Notes:
The upper reaches of the Ashley River were bridged fairly early. Bacons Bridge(first known as Stevens Bridge) and Slann's Bridge (Mr. Waring's Bridge) were in use by 1722, when they were made public bridges, to be maintained at the expense of the male inhabitants of the parish. In 1744 more bridges were made public, including Eagle's and Dorchester (just below Dorchester Village, this 150' bridge was lost before 1780).
