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:
Salem County. This county was of indefinite lines. It was first a combination of Cleremont and Clarendon. Some historians say Salem was older than either Cleremont or Clarendon. Others say Salem came after Cleremont and Clarendon. Most of the records of this short lived county are in Sumter, S.C. However I have found some of Salem records in Camden, S.C.
Cleremont County. Was formed before 1790 (See 1790 census). In 1800 it was combined with Clarendon forming the present Sumter Co. The records are at Sumter, S.C.
Clarendon County. It was formed before 1790 (See 1790 Census) and was combined with Cleremont in 1799 to form Sumter in 1800. The records are in Sumter, S.C. while a few are to be found in Camden. The present Clarendon County was formed just between (sic) the War Between the States and named for the extinct county.
Some Sumter Co. SC records have been abstracted:
"Court Records" folder; typed extracts from files of Leonardo Andrea; mentions Court Record of 1804, William Dinkins of Stateburg, Sumter Co., and his children including Asa, Samuel and Sarah Dinkins as children of his first wife (FHL film 954,248)
"Marengo Co. AL Records" Vol.39, by Pauline Gandrud; includes will book A, pg.295, will of William J. Reese of Sumter Dist. SC dated 1849, witnessed by J.W. Dunkin and others. (FHL book 976.1 D29ja; from Evelyn Sigler 1/1984)
