The Treaty of Dewitt's Corner in 1777 ceded almost all Cherokee land, including present-day Greenville, to South Carolina. Pearis never returned to his plantation but Paris Mountain is named after him. The Patriots retaliated by burning down Pearis' plantation and jailing him in Charleston. Pearis supported the Loyalists and together with their allies, the Cherokee, attacked the Patriots. The American Revolution divided the South Carolina country between the Loyalists and Patriots. Pearis established a plantation on the Reedy River called the Great Plains in present-day downtown Greenville. Pearis had a child with a Cherokee woman and received about 100,000 acres (40,000 ha) from the Cherokee around 1770. A wealthy settler from Virginia named Richard Pearis arrived in South Carolina around 1754 and established relations with the Cherokee. The land of present-day Greenville was once the hunting ground of the Cherokee, which was forbidden to colonists.
