Subject: Re: Wills of early SC. From: Deborah Byrd Date: March 26, 1999 Actually I am looking for a series of books abstracted by Caroline Moore. In the Colonial period All wills and deeds were recorded in Charleston. C. Moore transcribed all of the deeds from 1700 - 1780 (I think) and Clara Langley transcribed the deeds from 1712 -1772. Brent Holcolmb has picked up the deed in 1772 - 1778 and transcribed them. These deeds are not the Memorials which were a separate group of land transactions more akin to land grants as given in the other provinces. snip - > I was looking at a book called "South Carolina Wills" by Mary Bondurant >Warren just yesterday. It had wills from 1700's. Also another book called >"SC Wills and Bonds, Abbeville District" by Willie Pauline Young has info on >wills from late 1700's and 1800's. Don't know if this is what you are >looking for, but I found some of my family info in them.
