You can find information about Old Granville Counties (there were two) on the
SCRoots web site.

The Carolina colony consisted of four coastal counties in the seventeenth
century: Craven, Berkeley, Colleton, and Granville. There were no county seats
and all official records were kept in Charleston. The Church Act of 1706 divided
the coastal portions of South Carolina into parishes between 1706 and 1767, with
each Parish centered around an Anglican church. St. Luke's Parish was created in
1767 and included the project tract. The colony of South Carolina was
reorganized into circuit court districts in 1769.

In 1785, Beaufort District was subdivided into Shrewsbury, Lincoln, Hilton, and
Granville counties. However, the counties created at this time failed to
supplant the earlier parishes as political entities and soon were abandoned.
