Cane Savannah Plantation

Cane Savannah Plantation was established in 1784 through a 4000-acre grant to Lt. Col. Matthew Singleton (1730-1787), a state representative and officer who had served under Francis Marion during the American Revolution. The plantation took its name from Cane Savannah Creek, a branch of the Black River. Singleton had moved from Va. to S.C. with his wife Mary James Singleton in 1753 and built a house nearby, where he died in 1787. Cane Savannah then passed to his daughter Nancy and her husband Isham Moore (1750-1803), a state representative and judge. Their son John Isham Moore (1792-1852) was a militia officer and state senator. The main house burned about 1920, cotton production soon declined, and Cane Savannah was eventually divided into tracts.
