The story of the Pine House

Rainsford, Bettis C.
Abstract
One of the very oldest landmarks in Edgefield County is a place located approximately six miles southeast of the Town of Edgefield. Over the course of more than a quarter of a millennium this landmark has been variously known as “the Piney Wood House,” “the Pine-a-wood House,” “the Pine Wood House,” and, for the last century and more, simply, “the Pine House.” In many ways, the story of this house parallels the story of Edgefield County. Now entering its second quarter millennium, the house has new owners, Bettis Cantelou Rainsford, Jr. and Melissa Logan Vann, who are beginning their married lives together on May 18, 2013 in this wonderful old landmark. Interestingly, the families of these new owners have been associated with the house for more than two centuries. It is therefore appropriate that the Story of the Pine House during that first quarter-millennium be comprehensively explored and told.
