Our grandfather, Convers B. Woolsey operated the plantation from about 1905 to his death in 1951. He is credited with introducing the first Polled Hereford cattle into the state in 1920 and also developed the Woolsey/Cleveland strain of cotton. For his “Distinguished Services to the Agricultural Development of South Carolina,” “C.B.” received a testimonial from Clemson Agricultural College in 1925. During this time, as many as 20 African-American families lived and worked on the farm. The Cullum and Seymore families helped us for multiple generations.
