Bossis Plantation – Huger – Berkeley County

Basic Information
  • Location – Eastern branch of the Cooper River, Huger, Berkeley County

  • A Day on the Cooper River, 1969, reference 6 says at Bossis there is a very neat and efficient machine for thrashing rice, put up last spring upon an original and new principle, by William Ferrel. The machine will thrash fifty bushels of rice per hour, when well attended; it is attached to the pestle-shaft of a Rice Mill, (previously erected) working by two adhesion wheels. The machine was built for the moderate sum of $300.

  • Origin of name – Its name has been accounted for, from once having belonged to a Mr. Bosse, pronounced Boce; the early settlers in the neighborhood, to signify their intention of going to this spot, used to say they were going to Boss's place - hence, the name Bossis!
