Marriage and Death Notices from Columbia, South Carolina, Newspapers
1838-1860
By Brent Howard Holcomb. Columbia, S.C.: SCMAR, 1988

Columbia, the capital city, occupies an important place in the history and
administration of South Carolina. Because of this, newspapers from the city can
reveal much to the researcher of Carolinian ancestry, both within the
metropolitan area and throughout the state. 

This publication is a continuation of Holcomb's earlier work "Marriage and Death
Notices from Columbia, SC, Newspapers, 1792-1839." Taken largely from The
South-Carolinian, the notices in this database come from a variety of sources,
including the Palmetto-State Banner and the Columbia Banner. With over 8000
names, it covers not only the counties of Richland and Lexington, but also
contains notices from Orangeburg, Lancaster and Georgetown. In addition, because
it is the state capital, some notices from around the state, outside these five
counties, can be found in this database.
