Book Description
Lancaster County was carved out of the Camden District in 1785. And from part of it, Kershaw county was formed in 1791. Since the Lancaster County probate records were destroyed in 1865, this is the only basic record left for this valuable county. Deeds are GREAT source for genealogical research due to the many and varied family members that are mentioned. Not only will the reader find the deed transaction itself, but often times such things as: marriages, relinquishment of dower, divisions of family farms among heirs, remarriages of widows are just a few of the matters you can anticipate finding within records of deeds. A few Wills were recorded in these deed books, as well as a number of deeds for the BURNED-OUT Chesterfield County.

Book Description
This second volume abstracts four additional Lancaster County Deed Books. While the abstracted deeds were brought to Lancaster to be recorded between 1774 and 1789, the indentures date from 1711 to 1789, with the majority being executed in the 1774-1785 timeframe. For sundry reasons, citizens often did not bring their deeds to Lancastesr to be recorded. Thus, a transaction from 1748 may not be recorded until 1775, after the property had been sold again. Users should also understand that deeds were recorded in several books simultaneously; hence, there will be overlapping in the dates of recording between volumes in this series. More volumes are underway. Index.

Book Description
Chester County was formed in 1785 as a county of Camden District. Prior to the border surveys of 1764 and 1772, the area was included in the North Carolina counties of Anson, Mecklenburg, and Tryon. For this reason many grants and deeds from North Carolina are referenced in the Chester County deeds. Chester County bordered on the counties of York, Fairfield, Union, Kershaw, and Lancaster. The deeds in this volume were recorded 1785-1799. As is common, there are deeds recorded from a much earlier time period. The earliest deed included in this work dates from 17 November 1768. With the beginning of county courts in South Carolina, deeds were required to be either acknowledged or proved by the oaths of two witnesses until 1788. Deeds which had been proved prior to 1785 before a Justice of the Peace were frequently accepted on that proof and recorded. Beginning in 1788 only one witness was required to prove a deed before recording. The deeds in this volume have been abstracted from South Carolina Archives microfilm, Rolls C2268, C2269, and C2270. Abstracts typically include: deed book and page number(s), date of sale/lease, name of grantor/lessor, name of grantee/lessee, the grantee/lessee's county and/or district of residence, amount charged and/or paid, number of acres and location of property, names of witnesses, name of justice of the peace and/or other official approving deed, date approved, and date recorded. A map of District and County Courts 1785 and a map of Districts 1791-1799, a full-name index, and a place index add to the value of this work. (2005), 2021, 6x9, paper, index, 298 pp.

Book Description
Volume 3 is the third in a series of early Lancaster County deed abstracts. Includes information that would help a researcher identify a familial connection. Ed worked under the assumption that once a person identified a possible match, they would then order the full text of the deed. Those living in outlying areas often did not bring their deeds to Lancaster to be recorded. Nonetheless, there is hope: After describing the tract to be conveyed, deeds give the prior history of the property. If the land had not been patented, the history normally begins with the warrant; otherwise, the history begins with the patent. From that starting point, the deed briefly denotes all transfers to the property up to the present. Thus, previously unrecorded deeds can be unearthed. For this reason, it is especially important to abstract early deed records, as critical information about a family may be found in a place one would never think to look. Index.
