Do you know of Pliny ???
This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Pliny. 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 Pliny.<1>
Our sources for Pliny (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 Pliny other than they indicate that Pliny would be found somewhere in Greenville County, South Carolina.
From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened in 1843 and closed in 1901.
