Few public documents remain extant regarding slaves, slave masters, and free
blacks of Greenville County, S.C. Those that are extant are part of the deed
records in the Office of the Register of Mesne Conveyance. However, those
records do not appear in the grantor-grantee general indexes and, therefore,
have become "lost" in the R M C Office Deed Books. This book "finds" those
documents and presents in abstract form material from deed books pertaining to
black people, free and slave, from 1791 through 1861. Greenville County had few
slaves as compared to coastal areas. However, from 1790 until 1860 the number of
slaves increased from 606 to 7,049 and the number of free colored (black and
Indian) increased from 9 to 212.
