Marriage, Death and Estate Notices from Georgetown, South Carolina Newspapers 1791-1861

Since South Carolina did not officially keep Vital Records until 1911 makes researching within old newspapers extremely important. The reader is cautioned to note that all legal records for Georgetown County were destroyed by fire in 1865. These notices cover the counties of Georgetown District, viz. Georgetown, Horry, Marion, and Williamsburg. Also, notices are to be found from neighboring counties of Charleston, Darlington and Sumter.
