OTHER SOURCES

According to Leonardo Andrea, SC genealogist, in his "Counties in SC" (FHL film 954,248, and from Louis Boone)
      Extinct counties after the Revolution included:
      Winyah County. Was formed from Prince George (in 1790 Census) but was later renamed as Georgetown County. Records of Winyah County were burned by Sherman.
      Kingston County. Was formed or rather renamed from All Saints (In 1790 Census of Georgetown Dist.) but about 1798 Kingston was reformed into Horry County. Records are at Conway, S.C. except for the oldest records which were in Georgetown and burned by Sherman.
      Prince George County. See Winyah County and Georgetown County.
      Prince Frederick County was in Georgetown Dist. in 1790 Census. The records were in Georgetown and burned by Sherman. In 1805 Pr. Frederick was renamed as Williamsburg County and all records after 1805 are at Kingstree, S.C.
