Do you know of Majors ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Majors. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Majors.<1>

Our sources for Majors (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 Majors other than they indicate that Majors would be found somewhere in Anderson County, South Carolina.
