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
