Big Raft Creek (Robeson)

There is no record of a post office of this name. The post office was listed in Post Offices and Postmasters of North Carolina, Colonial to USPS because of a notation on a 9 March 1865 letter written by Colonel G.F. Wiles, a Federal officer with General Sherman’s Army as it entered North Carolina from Charleston, S.C. The notation on his letter No. 5 to his wife in Putnam, Ohio, appears in the upper right corner and looks like a postmark. On 9 March his unit was in the vicinity of Raft Swamp area of Robeson County. The notation is believed to show where and when the letter was written and not a postmark of an existing post office. The letter entered the U.S. mails at Washington (Beaufort County), where it was postmarked. It is shown here because it was in the original catalog.
