Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This parish was established in 1712, and met in the homes of
various planters until a church was built in 1724. The parish "was
bounded on the east by St. Helena Sound and Combahee River, on the
north by a line from the head of Combahee River to Savannah River
and to the south on the ocean." These transcriptions of vestry
minutes provide a detailed view of the business and spiritual
affairs of the parishioners. They record the elections of church
officers, financial transactions, and matters of church discipline.
Since the parish was extensively involved in assisting its sick and
poor members, there are innumerable instances of sums being paid
for housing, nursing, and doctoring, and in some cases burying,
parishioners. There are also investigations of illegitimacy,
children being bound out, etc.
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
