Old Orangeburgh District, in the middle-western section of South Carolina,
originally encompassed a vast area, taking in sections of the state that were
later to become Barnwell District and Saxe Gotha (Lexington), and most of the
present-day counties of Calhoun, Orangeburg, and Aiken. 

Primarily the work of Daniel Marchant Culler, a judge and civic leader who was
also a brilliant scholar and historian, this volume is a much-needed history of
the Orangeburgh District which focuses primarily on the period of time between
the Revolutionary and Confederate wars and on the sections that later became
Orangeburg and Calhoun counties. It is thoroughly researched and scholarly, with
ample bibliography and notes, and is extremely readable, containing an excellent
blend of factual information, historical interpretation, biographical data, and
items of genealogical interest. Approximately two hundred pages of appendices
include minutes, marriage and census records, and other lists which give names
of early inhabitants.

This volume contains a wealth of information on such family names as: Arthur,
Barton, Beard, Brown, Bruce, Bull, Chevillette, Collins, Cornelson, Culler,
Dantzler, Darby, Dibble, Dreher, Dukes, Dulles, Elliott, Fair, Farrar, Felder,
