Although there may have been a few scattered French Huguenots who settled in South Carolina earlier, the first group to arrive came in 1669 and was the forerunner of many others. This well-written volume provides some historical background to their emigration and detailed discussions of their settlements at Charleston, Santee, St. Thomas, St. Dennis, the Orange Quarter, St. John's Berkley, St. Stephen's, Purrysburg, and Hillsboro. There is an extensive discussion of their religious and political affairs, and of their role in the development of the colony. A great deal of biographical data is p... View more info

Newspaper abstracts can be extremely helpful sources of genealogical data, especially where and when civil records were not kept with diligence. The "Observer" was a Presbyterian newspaper which published denominational news, and marriage and death notices from a wide area. Although the bulk of the notices pertain to South Carolina, many relate to North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.288 pages, 5.5x8.5, (1980), 2008, 5.5x8.5, paper, index, 288 pp, Softcover, Heritage Books, Inc View more info

"Kershaw County was formed in 1791 from the counties of Fairfield, Lancaster and Richland. Therefore, prior to 1791, the county records of those counties should be researched for persons who appear in the county court minutes herein." These records are typical county court minutes, containing lists of jurors, wills and administrations, guardian bonds, and road commissioners, as well as, minor civil cases. Of particular interest to genealogists are the many entries pertaining to orphans, wills, estates, etc. that provide vital clues and establish relationships. A full name index, prepar...

Fishing Creek Presbyterian Church was organized about 1770. Rev. John Simpson (1740-1808) was ordained and installed as pastor in 1774; he served the church until 1790 when he removed to Pendleton District, South Carolina. Rev. Simpson visited every family and member of his church during his pastorate and the visitation list is a record of those visits. The records of sessions (1799-1859) list baptisms, marriages, deaths, and removals. Both the visitation list and the records of sessions are facsimiles of the originals. The cemetery roster is arranged by rows and gives, when known, the name of... View more info

Although these abstracted deeds were recorded from 1798 to 1800, the years in which they were written stretch from the 1760s. Many chains of title reach back to the 1750s and may tell of land sold, disputed and inherited; they name heirs, kinfolk of other surnames, remarriages, residences in different states and counties, and may state exact or approximate dates of arrivals, departures, deaths and marriages. Edgefield then included parts of present Aiken, Greenwood, McCormick and Saluda Counties. Much commerce across the Savannah River with businessmen and planters in several Georgia counties ...

By the end of the 18th century, Edgefield County veterans of the American Revolution were becoming the older generation. Changes surrounded them. The cotton gin gave a profitable crop to the South and strengthened the once-fading institution of slavery. Prices of slaves and land rose. Large holdings were divided into farms. There was much traffic across the Savannah River with Augusta, Georgia. Deed books concern land conveyances but also contain powers of attorney, depositions, bills of sale and other documents. Occasionally, deeds explain family relationships. Chains of titles may show why l... View more info

Probate records are sworn documents that go beyond the will to show how the estate was settled. These records offer insight even when persons left no will. They may reveal names, relationships, date of death, items being sold, names of buyers, final distribution, money due to the estate, and more. Probate records are especially valuable for researchers in the difficult field of black genealogy. Slave names may be traced from estate to estate. The early nineteenth-century Edgefield District, South Carolina, probate records are arranged by the initial of last name of the decedent. Thus, although... View more info

These deeds were recorded between December 1809 and July 1814, a time of great dispute in South Carolina over the issue of a high or low tariff. Property locations are identified by names of nearby watercourses and by names of adjoining landowners. Every name and all watercourses are indexed. Names and ages... View more info
