Usage examples of "waxhaw".
Beaufort was overtaken near the Waxhaw settlements, and summoned to surrender.
He was of Scotch-Irish descent, his parents coming to this country in 1765 from Ireland and settling in the northern part of South Carolina on the Waxhaw Creek.
Enmity flared higher when the tale of the Waxhaw spread through the Caroli-nas, inflaming hatred and hostility and sharpening the conflict of Loyalists and patriots.
For with the Catawbas and Waxhaws remaining friendly to the Americans, there was no danger in the upper regions of the Carolinas.
