Peter(s) Families in 1600's and early 1700's South Carolina

There has been some speculation that the parents of Samuel Peters (abt 1712 - 1788) lived in South Carolina, so I have begun looking into what evidence can be found regarding PETER(S) families in 1600's and early 1700's South Carolina. I have found the following so far:
