Do you know of Jachin ???

Our sources for Jachin (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Jachin other than they indicate that Jachin would be found somewhere in Laurens County, South Carolina.
