Do you know of Tatum Station ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Tatum Station. 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 Tatum Station.<1>

Our sources for Tatum Station (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 Tatum Station other than they indicate that Tatum Station would be found somewhere in Marlboro County, South Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1886 and closed  in 1907.
