An Abstract of North Carolina Wills
John McMahon, Case Two: John McMahon was mentioned (January, 1764) in a land transaction in South Carolina's Craven County in St Marks's Parish on a body of water or community called Turkey Creek. There are several Turkey Creeks in South Carolna. One is north of the Broad River and west- southwest of present town of York, SC. Turkey Creek itself runs generally N.E. from its intersection with the Broad River into the present town of York. It is approximately 35 miles from Turkey Creek to Waxhaw. Another Turkey Creek is found above Charleston in Williamsburg County. Based on other references it is likely that this Turkey Creek is one near Charleston.
