THE SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL AND GENEALOGICAL MAGAZINE
Published By The South Carolina Historical Society
Volume XXII, Printed 1921
(pp. 34-37)
REGISTER OF MARRIAGE LICENSES GRANTED,
DECEMBER, 1765, TO AUGUST, 1766
The marriage licenses listed here are taken from a volume of "Records of the
Proceedings in the Court of Ordinary" from December 21, 1764, to August 28,
1771. This volume has recently been returned to South Carolina through the
courtesy of the Overseers of Tufts College, Massachusetts, it having been in
that Library of that college for many years.
Just why there seems to have been no systematic record kept of the marriage
licenses granted, is hard to explain; in the above mentioned volume, the list is
in the back of the book, upside down, and only the briefest possible entries
made, even the name of the clergyman is not given in the first few. So far as
the Editor has found in the records, this is the only list that attempts to be
chronological; occasionally a stray record of a license will be found.
