Hard cover, 304 pages, indexed. These volumes are a continuation of the abstracts prepared under Clara Langley of the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s. Until the establishment of county courts in South Carolina in 1785, all deeds were recorded in Charleston. While the deeds in these deed books (I-5 through Z-5) were recorded between 1783 and 1788, within these deed books are instruments dating from a much earlier time, some as early as 1703. After the border surveys between the two Carolinas in 1764 and 1772, many lands formerly deemed to be in North Carolina fell into South Carolina. For that reason some deeds refer to lands granted by North Carolina, sometimes called "north patents." In the period beginning in 1783 we find some deeds recorded from the Commissioners of Forfeited Estates and the Commissions of Confiscated Estates. Within the bodies of such deeds are found the names of such persons whose land had been confiscated, usually indicated as "lands formerly the property of..." The names of these persons are not indicated in the deed index, only the persons who purchased the land. Therefore, these abstracts will be clues as to the disposition of lands of many Loyalists.
