Nationally recognized archival administrator William L. McDowell Jr., in the 1950s, produced three volumes in the Colonial Records of South Carolina series based on never-before mined early South Carolina colonial records. This is the third volume of McDowell’s three volumes, The Colonial Records of South Carolina: Documents Relating to Indian affairs, 1754-1765. The massive volumes’ significance today is even greater than when they were first published. For genealogists searching for early settler and Native American connections, these volumes are invaluable. The volumes contain names and activities of white Indian traders, record "talks" between Native Americans and the colonists, provide intelligence reports from traders, their locations, and information on treaties, marriages, document the impact of colonization, and early South Carolina commerce, and international political relations.They are only rivaled for genealogical value for settler and Indian connections, to Genealogist Emeritus Theresa Hicks and her South Carolina Indians, Indian Traders, and other Ethnic Connections beginning in 1760. Hick’s massively detailed book won rave reviews from Southern historians and archivists. A significant contribution is made through her research on Indian traders and their progeny, and the 104-page index contains over 17,700 entries, the mass majority being individual names (softcover, illustrated, 503 pages, Amazon.com).Noted historian Wilbur R. Jacobs in the Journal of American History, June 1956, called the volumes “of vital significance” and “fascinating.” In 1971, McDowell won the American Association for State and Local History Award of Merit, for the volumes.

While trumpets were sounding from the roof of the Single Brothers’ House in Bethlehem on October 8, 1753, a group of fifteen single men set out on foot for North Carolina. Their goal was to start a new Moravian settlement on the Wachovia tract that had been purchased earlier that year for the Moravian Church. The Wachovia tract measured almost 100,000 acres and covered the area of the contemporary city of Winston-Salem. After almost six weeks of travel, the settlers reached their destination on November 17. They took refuge in an unused hunting cabin and immediately began to clear the land and construct necessary buildings. Their settlement was soon named Bethabara. It was the beginning of a Moravian presence in North Carolina. This year the Bethabara Moravian congregation celebrates its 260th anniversary. The travel diary of the group of first settlers is well known and gives interesting details about their 500-mile journey from Bethlehem to Bethabara and about their first attempts to survive in the woods of North Carolina. Another, lesser known source provides additional details. The Moravian Archives in Bethlehem holds an account book in which all expenses relating to the new colony during the years between 1753 and 1756 are listed. On the first six pages of the account book we find an exhaustive overview of items the men took with them on their journey to Bethabara

The first appearance of the name Shepherdstown and not its original name of Mecklenburg
is in 1866
https://www.wvlegislature.gov/legisdocs/publications/acts/Acts_1866.pdf
From 1863
https://www.wvlegislature.gov/Educational/publications.cfm#acts
Great article.
About Romney and Mecklenburg chartered 23 Dec 1762
However it is interesting the House of Burgesses is still mentioning Shepherdstown as Mecklenburg May 10, 1765 in a petition by Thomas Shepherd for a ferry, three years after the town was chartered.
According to the article both Romney and Shepherdstown were chartered on the same day
". . . each town was chartered on the same day, December 23, 1762. "
In fact even as late as 1767, five years after the 1762 charter, the House of Burgesses was still calling Shepherdstown the name of Mecklenburg.
1767 reference
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc2.ark:/13960/t3gx4ks23&view=1up&seq=150&q1=Meck
Even in 1770 the town Mecklenburg was still its name, eight years after its charter.
It's a fight between Swearingen's widow and Thomas Shepherd. She doesn't want the ferry. He does.
1770 reference
https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uva.x001603227&seq=83&q1=shepherd&start=1
I haven't found the exact date of the name change, but some time after the Civil War did the name of the town become Shepherdstown.
"After the Civil War, the name became Shepherdstown."
