Generostee

Generostee Creek is one of the waterways bearing Indigenous names in the old Cherokee country of the Carolina Piedmont. It runs toward the Savannah River through a landscape later divided into farms. Between 1777 and 1791 the government issued dozens of land grants along Big Generostee Creek, as settlers moved into the district. A Presbyterian congregation established near the creek about 1790 also took the name Generostee.
