This history presents Orangeburg County, South Carolina, from its
early beginnings through the Revolutionary War. It reveals the
settlers' struggles to set county boundaries, build churches and
roads, and participate in the 1790 convention to establish the
constitution for the state. Also transcribed here are the acts that
created a court and judicial system for the state. The book's first
chapter traces the settlement of each region within the county, and
discusses the important contributions of German and Swiss
colonists. A variety of county records appear, such as an account
of the first settlement made by a white person, in 1704, at what is
now called Lyons Creek. Next, marriages, births and deaths, as
recorded by the Revs. Giessendanner from 1737 to 1761, make up more
than 100 pages. Closing the book, the text's thorough military
history presents listings from rosters and order books, transcripts
of military orders, and accounts of expeditions and battles which
date from 1682 to 1781. Transcripts of correspondence between
military leaders and the Council of Safety during the Revolutionary
War fill another 100 pages. Sources used to compile this book
include: deeds, grants and letters from the offices of the
Secretary of State at Columbia; records from the offices of
Register of Mesne Conveyance and Judge of Probate of Charleston;
contemporary historical works; military and court records; and many
others. Maps of the county, illustrations of county sights,
portraits and an every-name plus subject index enhance the text. No
Orangeburg County researcher should be without this book
