The town of Yorkville was incorporated in York County, SC in 1841. It is now known as the city of York.
William Wright (1798-1856) was President of the Kings Mountain Railroad Company. Directors included John Bainford Hunter (1803-1852) and John M. Ross. John B Hunter also served as Postmaster in the town of Bethel (York County) starting in 1843. John M. Ross operated Ross’s Store in Yorkville. This letter suggest a common connection between these 3 men but, other than the Kings Mountain Railroad, I could not find one.
