Genealogical Abstracts from The Carolina Spartan, 1866-1872 by
Larry Vehorn. Hard cover, 210 pages, indexed. Price $30
postpaid.

In this volume the reader will find all items of genealogical
interest appearing in the Carolina Spartan, during the years
1866 through 1872. The vast majority of the abstracts concern
events in Spartanburg and Greenville Counties, South Carolina.
Besides marriages and deaths, other items are included:
probates, administrations, sheriff's sales, church committees,
county commissioners lists, unclaimed letters, etc. Lists of
defendants in court cases often name South Carolinians who moved
out of state.


New Prospect Baptist Church Minutes, 1820-1855 and Cemetery
Survey by Larry Vehorn. Soft cover, 134 pages, indexed. Price
$20 postpaid.

This book includes a transcription of the minutes of the Baptist
Church at New Prospect, South Carolina, from the founding of the
church, until 1855. Sometime after 1858, an ancestor of the
author copied the minutes and that copy is the basis for this
work. This is the only known copy of the church minutes for the
time period, as the church lost all early minutes in a fire.
Church minutes are often the only record for families who lived
briefly in an area. Included is a survey of the over 1,000
tombstone inscriptions in the church cemetery.
