The Oaks Plantation
The Oaks Plantation was established
on the Santee River in 1705 by a grant
from the Lords Proprietors to John
Sauseau, a French Huguenot settler.
It passed through several owners in
the prominent Buchanan and Withers
families before 1793, when brothers
Isaac and William Mazyck acquired a
tract of more than 1,000 acres and
began producing rice here on the
rich Santee River delta.
