Two folks in my family are members of the Belfast Hunting Club in South Carolina. I thought it was a cool connection to Ulster. They put these plates on the front of their trucks to identify members.'Belfast plantation, 6000 acre estate of Judge and Mrs. H. M. Lightsey, of Columbia and Allendale County, is situated approximately fifteen miles west of the town of Allendale within an angle formed by the convergence of Lower Three Runs and the great Savannah River.... Records reveal that in the year 1744, an Irish gentleman by the name of Scarborough came to America from Belfast, Ireland, in search of property. It was he who acquired numerous small tracts from owners who had grants from the King of England, and welded them together in the formation of a huge estate which he called "Belfast" for his beloved home land.'
