Pocotaligo, and Georgetown, South Carolina from 15 May to 15 August 1782; and at
Charleston, South Carolina from 16 June to 18 June 1783. Sales brought in over
one million pounds in currency. 

Volume (1782-1783) listing the sale of lands and goods confiscated from
loyalists during and after the Revolutionary War. Entries indicate that land was

bought property, and the amounts paid. The volume also contains lists of the
